Reading Blue Beetle: Graduation Day and I have to ask. Since when does Jaime listen to the Justice League.

#i'm reading blue beetle graduation day only now bc i was waiting for it to finish btw #i've also tried my best to avoid as many spoilers as physically possible #barely on issue 2 but enjoying it fine so far #but the fact that superman CAN ground jaime is so weird to me. like that's not his boss?? #i'm assuming it's a post-flashpoint thing #presumably his relationship with the justice league is better since he. y'know. never got left in space for a year #but it's still weird. jaime isn't a sidekick?? he's a solo hero??? why does the justice league have the power to just. ground him. #like it's not like they came to him and said 'hey we intercepted the reach's transmission and it looks like they're planning an invasion' #'we're worried about you and would like you to sit this one out if possible. we'll call if we need help' #and then waited to see how jaime would respond. they just went 'jaime you're grounded' and jaime said 'okay boss' #also i realize that they're clearly setting up some '(attempted) hijacking' arc with jaime and i'm assuming batman realizes this #but still. bruce wayne really benching the world's foremost expert on kicking reach ass because the reach is invading. #i'm sure that won't backfire in any way shape or form #like. buddy. pal. if ur worried about jaime getting hijacked by the reach then putting him to the side isn't gonna help #and if ur not ur just being phenomenally stupid #trying very hard not to judge this series by pre-flashpoint standards bc that's unfair #but man. i miss the jaime who got a transmission from oracle and blasted his computer to shut her up #pre-flashpoint jaime to infinite frontier jaime: personally I would NOT let that thing slide #liveblogging #my posts #jaime reyes
