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

[Zaresh]

that's not true Jason been painted as irredeemable before and yet he still got a book out of being painted as the scum of the earth. Morrison wrote Jason so terrible that it took a great writer to write him back to status quo i mean winnick came in before the new 52, an in 3 issue of batman and robin jason was back to being the anti-hero and anti-villian everyone knew and loved. if scott lobdell is half a strong writer he is suppose to be he can turn jason around in 6 issues and not drag on,or down a story, with whatever silly story he wants to tell until he sure he has jason back to status quo.

That happened, yeah. Was when he wasn't as established as he's now, and in a book alone, not in an event (he was a grey character outside there). Also, Morrison himself wrote him out of his villainous path in the end in Batman Inc (after Winnick short help before the reboot, painting him not so, er, crazy and ridiculous), and had a big, big reboot to help him resert Jason's status and story.

As I said, I'll rather not take that path now. It's not worth the risk, imho. Events tend to have a bigger impact in my experience, just because they have more readers and that makes it last longer. Mmm, I acknowledge that Jason's own nature is to be forever on the verge of both sides, but I also think he will always end swing to the side of good most of the times, with all his messes and mistakes and meltdowns. He's more of a good guy than a bad, in a world who isn't like ours and doesn't work as well as ours. He's just very flawed, has a lot of emotional issues, has had problems in the past (trauma and a bad upbringing can do that to you) and is willed to do ethically wrong things. But he's heroic in his core.

In any case, we will have the 3 jokers mini, that I hope will play Jason as an anti-hero and not a villain. I trust them to at least that (to be honest, I'm hopeful with that book now, after what we've been told).

It doesn't even have to mean that. A variant cover more often than not doesn't have much to do with what's going on in the issue.

Normally that is true but not in this case. The variant covers are directly related to whose involved in phase 1 of YOTV.

RED HOOD: OUTLAW #36
written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art by PETE WOODS
cover by DAN PANOSIAN
variant cover by YASMINE PUTRI
There’s no way to plan for every contingency...even for a son of the Bat like Jason Todd. His goal was to take down the Penguin and assume his role as the prince of Gotham, but the best laid plans go awry when Oswald Cobblepot gets the last laugh—and the last bullet! And not even the Red Hood and his posse can stop him. (How could they with the Iceberg Lounge under siege and Bunker, Wingman and the Sisters Su too busy to help Jason deal with a Penguin ascendant?) Don’t miss the startling conclusion to “Prince of Gotham!”
What can Lex Luthor offer former sidekick Jason Todd? Sidekicks…broken, battered and catastrophically dangerous sidekicks. The Teen Titans they’re not!

This issue will ship with two covers.
Please see the order form for details.

Looks like the annual will focus heavily on Biz and Artemis's time in … wherever they are (which I kinda suspected it would). Wonder if Jason will appear at all or if the focus will be on them.

I'll be honest, I don't like the idea of Jason taking on sidekicks (or atleast young ones) but I'll wait to see who the team is and what happens before judging it. The characters could be introduced here but not appear again until Snyder uses them in his event thing. Maybe Wingman's connected to Lex and he's the one who sent WM to find Jason last arc.

Awesome. The anual is perfect for my always-delayed birthday gift.
I'm guessing the sidekicks aren't going to stay in the bock, if we get Art and Biz back, maybe? Or maybe Art and Biz are those sidekicks? (but they're not: that's rude, Lex!—If he refers to them them that way)

Guess-star.
Good.

Maybe we dodged the event in the end ^____^.

Heh, I wasn't expecting this.

Cute.

[dietrich]

Heh, I wasn't expecting this.

That's pretty sweet. Fans have been comparing the Robins to the Turtles for ages so pretty cool to have this nod

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Adam Pollina art is pretty

Raphael as Red Hood

[Jackalope89]

So we finally get to see the kind of world Artemis and Biz have been dealing with. Apparently, a world where the average person is a meta-human, and those that are on the main Earth, are not meta-humans.

I can now see why 2 powerful beings like Biz and Artemis would have to go underground, so to speak. Makes me wonder what sort of powers Jason would have in that world.

[G-Potion]

Looks like the annual will focus heavily on Biz and Artemis's time in … wherever they are (which I kinda suspected it would). Wonder if Jason will appear at all or if the focus will be on them.

Would be a shame if we don't see a superpower Jason. Such opportunity.

[G-Potion]

Raphael as Red Hood

Haha that's so cool!

[Arsenal]

Would be a shame if we don't see a superpower Jason. Such opportunity.

Only if the annual ends with Biz and Artemis back on earth. It could easily cover what they were up to between RHATO 25 to 36 and end with them reuniting with Jason still stuck in wherever they are, kicking off a new arc.

Raphael as Red Hood

You posted also Leo and Mike, is there also one for Donnie?

Yeah Donnie is also tagged as Red Hood which i think was mistake for Red Robin but there wasn't any change that I could see aside from a cape so i didn't bother posting
Splinter was Alfred
Bebop was Killer Croc
Rocksteady was Clayface
Shredder was Joker
Harley as Karai
Karang as Bane
