Jason Todd: Robin, Red Hood, Arkham Knight Appreciation 2019

[Sergard]

So is Rocafort the new official RH:O artist now? I'm confused. He draws two issues in a row but there hasn't been any official announcement.
I'm glad that Artemis and Bizarro are mentioned. But nothing about Bunker, Wingman, the Su Sisters (and Dog) - I fear Jason is going to lose them all in #36 in some way or other.

RED HOOD: OUTLAW #38
written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art by KENNETH ROCAFORT
cover by DAN MORA
variant cover by PHILIP TAN
This is the Year of the Villain, and Red Hood has been tasked by Lex Luthor with training the worst teens in the DC Universe to become the super-villains of tomorrow. But while these kids may think they’re the future of villainy, they’re about to learn they may already be doomed. Reiser is rampaging through a S.T.A.R. Labs facility, unleashed like never before. Can the Red Hood see DNA, Cloud Nine, Devour and the enigmatic Babe in Arms safely home, or is this one field trip no one should have gotten permission to go on? Plus, where in the world are Artemis and Bizarro now?

Normally new artists aren't announced unless they're HUGE names or come along a shake up to the status quo. In Woods' case, it was the later.

Reiser reminds me of a smaller, slimmer Doomsday.

So I guess Art and Biz are going to be back for the last issues of this new arc. And it seems that Jasons charade with him pretending to train some villains isn't going to last long (well, them being villains, I mean). I guess Wingman and Bunker aren't mentioned because their soles are small, not because they don't show up (ay least, not in Wingman's case).

Rocafort in the book as a regular could be cool. His style fits the info we have for this arc so far. But it could be that he works for just two issues.

But wouldn't Rocafort at least post something on Twitter/Instagram? He seems pretty silent about that matter.




On another note, my paranoia is strong again. Am I the only one who saw the variant cover of Event Leviathan #4 and immediately thought of the New52 Red Hood and the Outlaws #24 cover?

Based on the solicits for Batman/Superman, it’s possible Jason could make an appearance.

Nah, I think it's a coincidence. I mean, it's a pretty normal pose for an "evil" guy.
Btw, Oliver is there*. Does he have a big role in this event?

Probably because that's what he is.

Wonder what the new HQs gonna be once the Casino gigs over.

Btw, Oliver is where. Does he have a big role in this event?

Yeah, Oliver is one of the main characters in the event.

Probably because that's what he is.

Well ok then. That’s neat.

If Jason looses Dog, we riot!

With Lobdell bringing Bunker and Doomed back I'm wondering if he will bring also Skitter back.

Yeah, I just noticed that Batman/Superman #2 also has a similar cover.

Based on the solicits for Batman/Superman, it’s possible Jason could make an appearance.

You mean because of that line?

Their first two guesses: someone very close to Batman and the one hero that would make failure nearly impossible—Superman himself!

Maybe. But Jason isn't that close to Batman anymore. Someone like Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Damian or Catwoman would be a more obvious choice.

Probably because that's what he is.

Good to know. I thought these are all new characters. But I'm cool with Lobdell bringing already existing characters back. Especially since he created them himself, so they won't be written out of character. Now I really hope that Bunker is still around. He and Reiser already know each other, right?

[Arsenal]

That’s true, but based on how the characters close to Bruce have behaved lately Jason should be on the top of the list for potential suspects.

I’m not saying that he will make an appearance, just that’s its a possibility.

I'm not denying any possibility. I'm too confused about Batman Who Laughs' six secret sleepers right now to argue anything.
I thought that the six sleepers are characters from the main continuity who don't know at the moment that they are controlled by Batman Who Laughs.

But looking at the preview of Batman/Superman #1 and the solicitation of #2 with evil Shazam who's from the dark multiverse, I'm not sure anymore that any character from the main continuity will be used.
(And looking at the preview, Shazam doesn't fulfill the definition of a sleeper to begin with.)
