If Jason can be this ballsy and not eventually turn into a villain, this might be the best version of Jason yet. Finger-crossed. I'm curious about Essence being involved. Don't think she would care much whether Gotham or elsewhere is threatened. Unless "more than Gotham" meaning Jason's well-being.
[QUOTE=Sergard;4208882]I found the [URL="https://twitter.com/scottylobdell/status/760010010894082048"]tweet[/URL]. But I don't know what he's referring to. When did Bendis change race/sexuality of a character?
And I don't know what the original post was. Probably someone asking if Jason could be made latino and gay/bi.[/QUOTE]
Yep, iirc, the original tweet was asking for that exactly.
And as for what he meant, probably he was alluding to Bendis' hand/influence in the status change of some characters like Iceman (it wasn't him, but he was close to the writer, I think?) or his taste for making new, diversity characters take on classic characters mantle without a lot of build up behind (it has passed a few times, I think. But to be fair, at the time it was a common place in Marvel, had been for a few years). Those are my best guesses.
Edit: Or maybe it was a joke about pleasing the crowd.
[QUOTE=Zaresh;4205857]Ha ha. I just saw Yasmine's cover for DCeased. Heh, clever; a nice reference to IT.[/QUOTE]
Yeah its pretty good :D
I wonder if Jason will get any sort of role in this new DCeased comic, or maybe just a side story for himself? I mean for such a concept, why waste the opportunity to use a character who so famously died and returned.
The significance is undeniable at this point, considering the imagery of Jasons death is even used as the cover XD

It wouldn't be the first time they use him as a zombie, even, right?
Lobdell was alluding to the Iceman retcon.
[QUOTE=Zaresh;4209294]It wouldn't be the first time they use him as a zombie, even, right?[/QUOTE]No that was afaik done the first time in Legion of Super-Heroes Vol 4 #45 in 1993.

And then Jason, along with a host of other heroes that died and came back, with Jason in a red leather jacket, re-enact Thriller.
No mentions of Jason in TT #27, only a small side note that "Damian got a beatdown from ex-mentor Red Hood" in the Annual.

That’s a shame, Glass is really dropping the ball on this RH is Damian’s mentor storyline

Maybe Jason will have an reappearance later on (I still want to see him and Crush interact). Now I just hope that RH:O will take up the thread of the mystery box and reveal its secret.

No change to the old costume after all.

Wasn't it already obvious that Jason still wears his "Mortal Combat" costume? He's wearing it on the RH:O #34 cover.
At the moment I'm cool with keeping the costume. I want to see it with Jason having hair. His buzz cut always seemed to be the biggest problem - And that Woods doesn't seem to be able to draw Jason's face. Every other character looks completely normal. Bruce looked fine in #27, Batwoman looked good in #28/#29 and I can't complain about Solitary, Bunker or Wingman last issue. But Jason ...
On the other hand, I'm still hoping that he'll wear a mask with his "mob boss" suit like on the cover of #33.
Are that Bunker's bricks on the left? And are that Jason's eyebrows or his mask reflecting the light?

> Could be. I hope so.
> I think it's the mask eyelid edge. Light source seems to come from front-below.
The current suit is likely here to stay (bar minor adjustments along the way) for the rest of Jason’s solo run. So probably another arc or so. Doubt we’ll be going into 2020 with it.
Jason Todd is basically the poster child for black sheep in DC as a whole (barring Flashpoint, where he somehow became a priest), but, just for speculation, how would he be received in the Marvel universe where far fewer heroes hold to the "no kill" rule?
