    Is Jason chasing Vigilante?
    I guess they are being really literal with the targeting vigilantes thing.

    Also I feel Jason is getting closer and closer to finally getting an Akira bike.

    So at least one good thing about Future State.



    Jason won the October Pinup Poll on Nick Robles' Patreon page against Zagreus (Hades game) and Geralt (Witcher). It was very close - and Geralt was actually leading for the longest time. I could be wrong but I think it was a last second win for Jason.

    So Nick Robles is going to draw a (sexy) Jason Todd Pinup for his Patreon page.

Having the muzzle piece of the helmet be crimson red while the rest of the helmet is black makes him look like a pretty unappealing luchador mask. The way the visor portrudes also gives the impression of Jason's face being black while his mouth is red, creating a pretty jarring visual.

    His tweet says 'another' Jason Todd. So I guess this is the second one of the month. XD

    Actually the third one. There are already two very spicy Jason artworks. Nick Robles calls them "50 Shades of J".

    I think the sleeves are meant to be grey instead of blue, but otherwise yeah, the mask is kind of a miss for me. Mainly because (sans hoodie) the rest of the helmet/mask being black instead of red makes it look like a balaclava instead. I guess with the hoodie up it's not that jarring for me, but without it, well, it's weird that he has red all over his design except for the one iconic place it should be. His head.

    Yeah, read Batman the Adventure Continues, and Joker literally said, "you saved me and left him to die."

    The ending is, interesting? Don't know how I feel about it. But it doesn't help that BTAS Tim is basically Jason in all but name as well.

    Tough challengers. I personally would absolutely have one Zaggie for me. Because he's just so huggable, the snarky, sassy, rebellious, hot, dorky guy.

    You guys would love Zagreus.
    Go play Hades. Or watch some let's play or something. Even watching the game's a lot of fun. Also, badass music.

    Haven't really read it, but just on quick look the whole thing looks like one of the worst takes of Jason sofar.

    The Magistrate uses robot law enforcement peacekeepers. I guess the artist wanted to incorporate some robotic elements. In my opinion, the design is fine for that kind of story ("Jason Todd is a haunted man. He's working a job he hates[...]" - with a premise like that it makes sense that the design is "dark" and even off-putting.). Personally, I don't agree with you. Neither does it look like a luchador mask nor does the design create the false impression that Jason has a black face with a red mouth. But, as said, this is just my personal opinion.

    I will probably read the story. I don't expect much though. It's filler. Maybe it's bad, maybe it's good - maybe it's just mediocre. In the end, it won't matter. But Jason working for the Magistrate isn't automatically a red flag for me. As others have pointed out before, the solicitation even states that Jason hates it. So how is this any different from Jason working for Black Mask at the beginning of the RHatO Rebirth run?

    But I can also understand people being annoyed.

    Personally, I'm looking forward to Dan Mora's art on Dark Detective, Matthew Rosenberg writing Grifter and John Ridley's The Next Batman. I also like Cass and Stephanie's designs.
    It's weird though that the bat-franchise is concentrated on one event while all the other titles present a broader future. I'm going to wait for reviews but some of those other titles actually look very nice.

    A proper review of the Mcfarlane Two-pack. Jason looks fantastic.

    Seems like the pack will be out until December so that's might be why there's no preorders anywhere.

    Me: No time for the whole video, therefore I immediately jump to the Red Hood part.
    Guy in the video: "... Now I know you are all here for the Red Hood ..."
    I feel exposed.

    And I agree. This figure looks incredible.

    It's like everyone is aware of the appeal, but the guys who should really ponder about said appeal for improving their sales.

    This Nightwing is just a repaint of the Rebirth one, of course Red Hood it's the appeal of this box. And they did a better job with Jason anyways.

    They are marketing as the New 52 version but didn't even bothered to change the model. This remind me thoses dragon ball figures that only change the head from each version.

    Oh, I guess that explains it. I honestly know near to nothing about toys and figures and collectibles like these.
