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

[Badou]

Future State continues to confuse me, nice Akira bike though

spoilers:

In the The Last Stories of the DC Universe issue there is a panel of Rose flirting with Jason. She basically says "I'm winking at you under my eyepatch". So maybe they are going to do something romantic with the two in Future State based off of that. This panel of them on the bike makes a bit more sense now at least.

Rose actually shouldn't have an Eyepatch in current continuity, during Priest's run she had both Eyes.

Yeah, and characters like Terra who were there were wearing their costumes from Priest's Deathstroke run still. So if that is still the current cannon then she should have both eyes, but who knows with DC and continuity anymore. It's a giant mess, haha. Babs was wearing her Burnside costume which she hasn't worn in a long time.

Nice.

The holsters doubling as armour is a neat idea, though I honestly hope we can upgrade the mask to an actual helmet in the game.

Also I've been waiting for an article to drop about it and confirm it, but have you guys heard the extra new details for Gotham Knights. One of them being that throughout the game Red Hood unlocks more abilities as he learns more about his resurrection.

EDIT: Found the interview.

That definitely sounds like they will taking the All Caste into consideration.

And the costume is 100% based/inspired by Medri's design

The Jason Rose romance
Seems to be keeping up

[RedBird]

Yeah, Williamson is one of the writers of that Death Metal issue, so that panel of Rose flirting with Jason could be foreshadowing their relationship in future state and perhaps even in the ongoing dc future. It's a romance that has appeared with a growing frequency across a few books now, and even with the Titans tv series. And yet it's still so severely underdeveloped. I've mentioned before that right off the bat, it's the kind of ship that makes sense on paper, and I'm not against it, but the lack of development and interactions leaves a lot to be desired, so unless dc is finally going to put in the time to develop Jason and Roses relationship together or at least have them speak to each other for more than just a handful of panels I can't say I'm all that intrigued about it.

It's just, there, existing for the time being. I like both characters but if this relationship is going to be a thing, then I just want to see it grow first, have it be properly fleshed out and earned.

Did you guys forget already that Rose and Jason were confirmed to have been in a relationship since the N52?

Not at all.

But even when it was introduced in New52 it was still a relationship we as readers didn't see unfold and are instead told about after the fact. Same problem. From the beginning this relationship has been a lot of just telling the audience these characters are (or in new52s case, 'were') a couple, rather than actually showing their relationship develop. I wonder if future writers will even remember their past relationship from new 52 and use it as a base, or if it was forgotten in rebirth.

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

I'm not arguing about that one being better handled or anything. I'm just pointing out this not a novel development nor the first time this relationship has been alluded to in the comics. Personally, I don't like because I have never cared about Rose.

The all-caste and the all-blades are my guess too. They seem to draw a lot from the new52-early Rebirth era for inspiration and foundations for the characters in the game, besides the Arkham games, I mean.

I’m surprised the Jason/Rose thing has become as big as a thing as it has since they’ve had maybe a handful of interactions in the comics that I can think of.

Oh yeah for sure, though it is honestly kind of both strange and impressive to see a ship that was born from nothing more than a throw away line, has now snowballed and become this pervasive and prominent without any proper canon interactions.

Pretty much, as far as I recall this one panel from Death Metal is literally the only canon interaction they have had since the last few issues of new52 Rhato. Everything else has been either been outside media, or a comic else world.

That really felt like Lobdell just wanted to add a notch in Jason's bed post or something. Had the two characters ever interacted before that random encounter between the two of them? I think Rose was missing an eye during that encounter, but then in Priest's run she obviously had both eyes and was written a bit younger. So I think some were thinking their New 52 interaction wasn't in continuity anymore, but who knows now with how confusing things are, lol. Everything is apparently canon now.
