Jason's new Red Hood look: like it or not?

[MajorHoy]

It's been discussed elsewhere, but what do people think?



And here's the CBR article about it:

DC Debuts Jason Todd’s New Red Hood Mask, Costume & Emblem
by Stephen Gerding - in Comic News
Jason Todd’s always been the loose cannon of the Bat-family, but in the latest issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws, the former Robin may have finally crossed a line he can’t come back from.
In Issue #24, not only did it appear as though Red Hood straight-up killed Penguin, one of Batman’s oldest enemies, on live television, in the process he may have given away Bruce Wayne’s secret identity. Just before he shot Oswald Cobblepot right in the face, Hood took his mask off, revealing himself to the criminal and, depending on how the cameras were set up, the world. To make matters worse, since Jason is well known as one of Bruce’s adopted sons, it’s not a massive leap to presume some people might make the connection to Bruce being Batman.
It’s no surprise, then, that the next issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws is being promoted as a knock down, drag out fight between Batman and his former apprentice...

Dislike the look, dislike the planned new direction. I'm on the fence about even continuing with the book after the annual.

looks like 90's trash and way too edgy

Not too sure yet. Waiting on the artist to incorporate it in like how they said its supposed to fit in with the new narrative before I really judge it. Only thing I completely dislike no matter what is the hairstyle.

I really like it. He looks tough, and I LOVE the crowbar addition, shows what guts he has! I LOVE JASON !!!!!!!!!!!

[JasonTodd428]

I don't like the costume at all but what I really hate is the crowbar. Nothing will make me okay with the fact that he'll be using the very crowbar that was instrumental in his death as one of his weapons of choice.

I would've liked a neutral choice.

As for the costume itself, well Jason has been in his more or less classic jacket and helmet design for 5 years(in between the DCYOU RHaA hoodie version) or 6 years. A change would be neat.

This costume, as other have said, reminds me of the Lin Kuei of Mortal Kombat and that's not a bad thing. I love me some ninja costumes. The crow bar is still a no go even if its more of a symbolic/Jason's mood plot point. Glad for the Katana. I feel Jason should have some sort of bladed weapons. Hope the guns come back.

Last the boots. Are those blade like appendages?

PS did the All Caste have a ninja garb?

I remember they have Monk's garb; Jason and Ducra wears something ancient Chinese. Essence looks closest to a ninja, without the mask.

Was wondering because if Jay were to go for a costume change, I'd like one inspired by the AC.

You know what, I would love it as well. His old AC costume was beautiful. But maybe save it for the time the story goes mystical instead of urban.

You don't think

* Not sure yet
and
* Really don't care one way or the other

are neutral-enough options?

Hm. Thinking on it, yeah those are good for neutral. I guess for me its like "I think its okay but..." so maybe not neutral.

So, either go with "Not sure yet" or wait another issue or two before actually voting.
