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

[Arsenal]

Oh, right. The annual is about to be out. Just in a few more weeks, right?



I took it the other way around: the whole issue is the report/story of their time in that other place (with chapters, maybe?), and the Rebirth look is from the first few weeks there. But now that I look at the whole picture, it's page 20 of 48 (I think), so, maybe you're right.

Comes out the 31st so in a week and a half.

WHY THEY DIDN'T WENT WITH THIS IDEA?

[Arsenal]

That would've been dope. Definitely better than the one they went with.

WHY THEY DIDN'T WENT WITH THIS IDEA?

The Question, in capitals. I like this logo a lot, honestly. But I guess it ties him too much to Roy, and certain fans wouldn't like that I guess.

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

I mean, DC is already doing that.

[Darkcrusade25]

Loved this idea and it was also a callback to Arkham Knight RH logo

[Arsenal]

Would've even gave them an easy in-universe reason for the costume change.

WHY THEY DIDN'T WENT WITH THIS IDEA?

Where is that from?

The extras in the RH:Outlaw Requiem for an Archer TP

[Sergard]

The logo looks nice but it does not work in the long run. It would tie Jason even more to the batfamily and overdramatizes his friendship with Roy - a friendship that's still controversial for a lot of people. What if the next writer of Roy Harper decides to retcon Roy's friendship with Jason (and there is no doubt that Roy will return one day)? Then suddenly the logo is more than problematic.

The current logo is still the best of all options since it doesn't tie Jason to any other franchise.

[Arsenal]

The logo doesn’t have to be permanent. It’s just a short term thing anyway.

Considering how hard DC is pushing the angle of "Roy Harper, Jason's best friend" that even Bendis acknowledged. I see no issue with it.

WHY THEY DIDN'T WENT WITH THIS IDEA?

Looks nice, though I can understand why they didn't go with it. I'm fine with the connection to Roy but the bat doesn't really fit the story direction.

RED HOOD: OUTLAW #40
written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art by DAVID MESSINA
acetate cover by GUILLEM MARCH
variant cover by PHILIP TAN and MARC DEERING
After their first mission in the field, all the Outlaws want is to head back to the Block for some R&R. Unfortunately, no sooner do they get home than they find themselves under assault from Shay Veritas’ clones! It’s like Night of the Living Duplicates in there, and Red Hood is nowhere to be found. Is he teaching them a dangerous (but hopefully valuable) lesson with his absence, or is he dealing with something even bigger and more terrifying?

I’m starting to wonder if we’ll see Jason, Artemis & Biz reunited in the annual only to separate to work on separate missions (Jason in Generation: Outlaw, Artemis & Biz on whatever they discover in the alternate dimension they’ve been trapped in)
