Uh-oh. This relationship has been nothing BUT red flags, but this is the biggest one of all: Jared is not a DC Comics fan. He's Marvel all the way. I'm guessing Jess and Jared's relationship is going to be as successful as Halle Berry in Catwoman.
Actually, there is a pop culture precedent for this relationship. Stewart and Denise from the final season of The Big Bang Theory. Maybe Jared could open a comic book store.
I’m at a disadvantage with random pop culture references, especially Marvel vs. DC, but I bet Dawn could rattle off a list of what Jared is and another list of what he isn’t. Both lists could curl Jared and Jess’s hair, or peel the paint off the walls.
Speaking of Dawn, has Mary had time to tell her about Jared clutching a certain patient’s hand while he and said patient made goo-goo eyes at each other?
Jared is letting Jess know that he would never beat her up because he's a pathetic wimp. In fact, she would more likely beat him up. He's a damaged-chick magnet.
A pathetic wimp who is secretly a superhero is the oldest comic book trope in existence, but Batman does not fit that mold. Jess should have referenced Superman/Clark Kent. Spider-Man/Peter Parker would do, but Superman is the original.
Oh, Jana C.H. What a great idea! Jared is actually a superhero looking for a victim to save! Dawn’s bad haircut didn’t do It for him. He needed a punching bag. If only it weren’t so late in the day we could all come up with ideas for an image of Jared throwing off his orange t-shirt and becoming:

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but I think she just insulted you, Jared. She agreed with you that no one would ever mistake you for a superhero.

why did the first panel just show the outside window ? is moy that tired ?
So, if Jess's ex shows up, don't depend on Jared. Putz. Woody Allen would have done a better job of portraying Jared, and that's an insult.
It would be sort of fun if, when Jared and Jess are sitting outside, Jess’s ex-boyfriend shows up and he’s dressed as Batman.
