    What do you reckon is the horrible childhood trauma Bruce was talking about in his post mortem video?
     
    My theory is Jason was a violent child who for some reason killed his father at a very young age.

    That Lady Shiva and David Cain are his true parents. But he wasn't strong enough to undergo Cain's strenuous attempts at creating the perfect assassin. So he was dumped on the streets, where in order to survive he had to do...unspeakable things.

    Prostitute himself? Oh wait, gah, I just said it therefore it can't be the answer! "
    Hahaha well now we have a dilemma. I cant very well say you are right seeing has how you purposely put that last line in there, as an obvious attempt to get me to agree with you using reverse psychology. But on the other hand, if I say you are wrong you have set yourself up for the "I told you so" speech. What to do what to do.

    Maybe he had a moment when he actually thought he was going to die, of course before the "Death in the family" storyline.
