(Batman #408)

[B]Jason Peter Todd[/B], born and risen in Lady City of Gotham's crudest part, came to become the second [B]Robin[/B], the [B]Red Hood[/B] and the [B]Wingman[/B]; the [B]Arkham Knight[/B] of a different, grimmer universe; The damned prince of Gotham who suffered and died by the hand of the clown prince of crime - but also the young man whose sheer will and bad luck couldn't let him rest and who made his way back from the grave.

Vigilante, avenger: he fights for fairness, for setting the wrong right and for defending and protecting those who cannot fend themselves, and he will do so crossing lines into dark areas or delivering a brutal brand of justice. A daring and sassy adventurer who has traveled not only this world and the space, but other universes. A flawed man who fights not only the monsters out but also inside, who fears the ghosts of memories and suffers from them and despite that will fight back with determination. A man who can despise himself as much as he despises others; Who makes mistakes but also rights; Who can love as much as long for being loved, and hate as much as he loves. Who can lose himself in anger as well as in loneliness.

Jason Peter Todd is a complex character, product of a complex editorial history. This is his appreciation thread and this is how we come to appreciate and ramble about him.[/CENTER]

Sorry about the blurry pics. I guess it's just how this forum deals with uploading pictures. I'll try find some other place to upload them later. I also want to upload a pic with the classic costume, but I can't decide which one.

Have a happy New Year you all!

Happy New Year to Jason and his fans :).

And we are back.

The Robin gravitated towards and gave a Great Bat Movie.

And here we go again.

I'm a little late, but still, Happy New Year everyone :)

Thanks for making the thread! And happy new year to all!

2022 should be interesting for Jason. Off the top of my head, there's Gotham Knights, which looks genuinely fantastic (even if I'm a tad wary of how they'll handle the split narrative and the loot). Exploring an actually populated open-world Gotham City as Red Hood is what I've always wanted.

Then, there's the conclusion for TFZ, which I guess could be interesting in its own right and also, maybe, regarding a new status quo. And, of course, Martinbrough's thing. I'm surprised it was "announced" that way and no one echoed the news, because I think it's pretty straight-forward that, at the very least, he's in the process of writing some RH-related stuff. I hope it's picked-up and that it's a solo ongoing with an exciting status quo shake that maybe sees him do his own stuff far from the Batfamily for a while. I'd take anything, though, as long as it's well written and drawn.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In any case, I caught up with TFZ the other day and, while I'm still largely uninterested in this (at least as Jason's main gig), I thought last two issues were better than #1 and overall fun. There's still a lot I don't love, but yeah.

I liked the Crispin thing, as well as the Bane stuff. Sadly, it'll likely be immediately reversed, but I'm glad they actually addressed the elephant in the room and showed Jason still conforming to his own ideology and thought process even after letting go of the guns. I hope it's not framed, as some said in the last thread, as him being childish, emotional and wrong, as well as I hope that he's not remorseful or anything.

I'm hoping that his fanfics update more frequently, as a lot of them either slowed down drastically, or were just outright abandoned. Not that I don't understand why, as Covid has affected everyone, everywhere.

It's been a slow year since late in the summer, yeah. But I think it may gain some momentum after February.

Apparently Martinbrough's stuff is gonna be 6 issues long:

Really wanted an ongoing, but hey. Red Hood's Hill arc was fun, and I'm curious to see this book's angle. Gotham City seems to be the setting, in any case, so they're likely keeping Jason in the Batfamily's vicinity.

I assume it won't be released until halfway through 2022 at the earliest, as this hasn't yet been formally announced and I suppose we'll have to see TFZ conclude before this releases.

Well, disappointing is yet another mini instead of an ongoing but I trust Martinbrough to make the most out of those six issues. I hope this series does drop before TFZ ends because the sooner Jason is in another series, the better. March solicits just dropped and since Martinbrough is being more and more open about it I'm hoping is going to be revealed either in this month's solicits or in February's at the latest.

I've finished updating the opening post. And changed the pictures too: they look fine now.

I'll change or add whatever thing you guys think that should be in. I also happen to have posted the second post, so there's still space to fill in case we need to.

happy new Year Jason and fans. Wishing you a 2022 full of good and varied content.

I wonder if Get Joker will actually get finished, some online shops are listing issue 3 for [I]March[/I]
