The only real characters in The Wizard of Oz were the Scarecrow and the Wicked Witch of the West. The story is her fear as played out in her mind by Scarecrow's toxins.
"Yeah, this asshole is loosing blood quick, Batman"
"Well, first of all wash your mouth out with soap", secondly, it's losing. Third, it's "quickly", dumbshit asshole. I should've left you at that circus. Forget about the quotation marks. I'm batman.
Before Jason Todd met Batman he was a successful circus acrobat. Batman screwed him up so much that his past retroactively changed so that he was a street kid stealing hubcaps.
When Jason Todd was first introduced he was given an origin very similar to Dick Grayson's (although since it was given in more detail than Dick's had been in the '40s modern versions of Dick Grayson tend to use a lot of elements from Jason Todd.) After the Crisis on Infinite Earths Jason's past was rewritten with the "street kid" origin. And then a couple of years after that he was killed off.

I think the artist posts these so I'll put this as gently as possible in case they're reading: Almost every single comic I've seen by this person takes a joke, often a pun, and stretches it as far as possible, and usually it's stretched so thin that it just doesn't land as a punchline.
I'm not sure if the artist is going for something that I'm missing, but whatever they're going for, it doesn't always seem to help the joke.

nah this is accurate, batman is a pos
I don’t kill, but you‘ll be leaving the hospital in a wheelchair.
Not dead, just wishing they were. That's the goodguy^TM^ way!
I'm not so sure. The Scarecrow from the land of Oz was literally made of straw. This guy bleeds. I think Batman is onto something.

Robin swings and spits on the bleeding scarecrow

"Holy terrible parental figure, Batman!"
Said a majority of Batman's sidekicks
" ", said Jason Todd.

I thought Dick Grayson was the circus acrobat. The whole Flying Graysons thing?
They didn't have the same origin for 2 separate Robins, did they?
Yep, originally.

Jean-Paul Valley had a tough go as well
It has teeth too. Farmer's committed I guess.
What's the beef between them? Is there an origin story?

Now to me it says ominous ocelot
probable_possum is account name, ominous ocelot is custom name that user can change.
Hmm, I might have misremembered.
Yes, this. Could be I had an alliterative attitude when I made the account.
