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

[kaimaciel]

One particular thing I like about this direction is Jason Todd's exposure to the public. Will he act like himself, Red Hood, or another persona?

I think he'll play another version of himself: the businessman persona, similar to Bruce.

Do you guys think the whole "legally dead" stuff will be addressed? That could be cool.

"Weren't you one of the Bruce Wayne's dead kids?"

[Zaresh]

Some part of me hopes that Bruce will be sneaky, masquerading as Matches Malone to meet crime boss Jason - and while being watched by Jason's crew both have to put on an act but also have to secretly exchange information.

Jason meeting Flashpoint Batman during this arc could also be interesting since Thomas Wayne has something similar going on in his own universe with the Wayne Casinos.

I can see some meta joke about it, like the one with Pyg back a year or so ago.

About Bruce, I wonder if he will show up at all. I get that the final point of this whole "isolating the batfam" plan is because how he is supposed to be in Doomsday Clock (which is a year in the future from when it started to be published, iirc). Now, between the timejump we had in the annual and all these other issues, and what Jason with hair again could imply, I guess he is just a few months before that point (halfway I guess) in Bruce's future. So maybe, by then Bruce is too busy doing whatever leads him to be in his bad place. We will probably have the 3 jokers just before the crap hits the fan, I guess, but... Mmmmm...

For easier comparability I copied the sales statistics of Red Hood and the Outlaws (source: Comichron) in one table. I'll update the table accordingly. A link to this post can be found in the OP.

The back-combed hair and the red dress shirt on the cover of #33 reminded me of a fanart I saw months ago. And I finally found it again (source). It's four years old and I can't remember if I have posted it already in the old thread. But Jason is too damn handsome on it to be forgotten:

[Mr. White]

Solicits were leaked

I can get behind this.
Best look he's had since...ever?.
At least definitely since the New52 (sans the jacket).

Jarrulus (there are also artworks of Damian, Dick and Tim in the same style)

So I guess the hair is back, and that suit is for interiors as well.

Changes are coming.

Sweet.

"Weren't you one of the Bruce Wayne's dead kids?"

The solicit implies he will pull an Ironman and claim he has Red Hood on his payroll.

Sweet.

He looks downright villainous.

[Zaresh]

He looks downright villainous.

He looks like someone from Mad Men.
Wait.

Yes, he looks villainous. That doesn't mean he's evil or a villain, though.

[G-Potion]

Yeah he's kinda supposed to look that way, viscious takeover and everything.

At this point, I think the green vest suit + mask and domino combo is already the winner of the most recent wardrobe choices of Jason.

As a men-in-vests lover, I fully welcome it.

[G-Potion]

Hence the explosion of fanart. Still I can't tell if it's green or it's the lighting. The belt seems yellow. Which I think is a striking addition.
