Jason Todd: Robin, Red Hood, Arkham Knight Appreciation 2020

Who knows what is Joker talking about, he knows all of them are alive, and going by the look Jason has here, Tynion was aware of Jason taking over the Iceberg Lounge.

What look do you mean?
The sunglasses are from Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P.
I think all the civil looks are from Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P.

That book was released before Pennyworth but even so, Jason wearing fancy suits comes from Prince of Gotham, otherwise, he's always depicted wearing leather jackets.

Isn't that panel from Batman #89? (released: February 19 2020)
Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. was released on February 12 2020, a week prior. So Batman #89 and Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. were pretty much drawn around the same time. Artists probably just exchanged designs. Especially since all the other clothes on the Joker panel match with the clothes in Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P., not just Jason's. The artist even got Barbara's hairstyle right.
And Jason wearing a suit in Batman: Pennyworth R.I.P. isn't necessarily an indication that the writers/artists read the Prince of Gotham story arc. It's normal to wear fancy clothes at a funeral.

alfred was a beneficiary

alfred was a beneficiary

Is this a guess or fact?
It at least sounds plausible.
But if it's true then the dialogue is misleading. Alfred is definitely not one of the "baby bats".
Furthermore, Joker is targeting five people of the "batfamily" - Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian and Barbara. If Alfred is one of the five beneficiaries, then one of the targets is not a beneficiary (probably Jason, maybe Barbara). So why target this extra person in the first place when Joker's main objective is the Wayne trust?

he wasn't just talking baby bat when he mention 5 benefeiciaries and alfred was a recipient the last time to. not to mention don't rich people update their wills every other year or so, if jason was still a benefactor on the will tim and damian name shouldn't be on the will if they came after jason died the lawyers would have been cross him off to receive his portion.
the story hasn't come out yet to know the whole aspect of whose targets and whose not. all i heard are whisper and probably miss leading solicitations

[Sergard]

Oh boy.

Oh boy indeed.
First I thought that they are going to sacrifice Bizarro, but maybe it's Roy again.
As far as I'm concerned, Dan Mora can stay on cover duty. He has a beautiful style.

I have mixed feelings about this solicitation.

If an outlaw does die, I highly doubt it'll be one of the dark trinity. I'd say it's either gonna be one of the New 52 Outlaws (probably New 52 Jason) or a miscellaneous ally (Essence, a member of generation: outlaw, etc.).

As for the Winter Soldier thing, I meant that I wish we could have skipped the dark times between UTH and RHATO where Jason was essentially whatever the plot required him to be at that point in time. Bucky, while not exactly in a great spot today, didn't have nearly as many hiccups after his re-brand that Jason did. And with how popular he's become over the last 8 or so years, I really do wish those initial years weren't wasted as much as they were (Plus an additional 6 or so years of stories worth reading woulda been nice too).

I’m getting into Rebirth, and this book is on my radar. Has DC re-inserted Croc into Jason’s origin?

No. It's still the post-crisis origin with Jason being a street kid stealing the tyres of the batmobile (and not the pre-crisis origin with Jason being an acrobat whose parents are killed by Killer Croc).
But Killer Croc and Jason work together in Red Hood and the Outlaws #17.
Killer Croc also appears in the Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #2 but Jason and Killer Croc don't interact.
