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

Depends how you count it.
The villain of his origin story was Ma Gun and his first villain as Robin was Two-Face.

But in his first official post crisis appearances it were Magpie (BATMAN #401) and Penguin (DETECTIVE COMICS #568).

It seems that the one with Magpie was published first.

Damn, I was sure I was remembering that one right. I failled miserably, asddf.

(I was actually remembering Two Face too. But it was the one in the movie, so I dissmised it as me messing memories, as usual. I stuck to Joker because i remember that too, but clearly, I was remembering wrong).

Edit: wait, was Two Face the one in the UtRH movie? Now I'm starting to doubt about that one too.

The one in the movie was Riddler.

[Aahz]

The one in the movie was Riddler.

Did he ever had Riddler as villain in the comics during his time as Robin pre or post crisis?
I don't think he Riddler appeared there out side of the big villain team ups (or in the background in Arkham).

[Sergard]

I think I'll have to rewatch the UtRH movie. I neither can remember Two-Face nor Riddler.

Fun fact: Black Mask was introduced in the pre-crisis Robin Jason era.

Have a great end of the year everybody.

In the Kid Robin flashback scene, Jason and Batman go after Riddler and his gang, catching them off guard and crashing through the window/roof of a warehouse.

Oh, Essence is getting released from the Sword already? That was fast.

[Arsenal]

Really? I feel like it’s well within Lobdell’s normal issue range of resolving threads he introduced.

Fast indeed.
But I'm happy to see her released.
Essence is a cool character. And since the Untitled are returning, Essence is a valuable ally.

[Zaresh]

The one in the movie was Riddler.

And this is why I don't trust myself.

[RedBird]

Huh. Yeah now that I think about it, that is kinda fast, considering Paolo Pantalena is only being credited for the very next issue, #42, but ChrisCross is credited as the artist for issues #43 and #44. Even the cover of issue #43 implies Essence is still trapped and only soon to be released from the sword.
So, she is being released in the next issue? Unless this is a page for issue #45. Or perhaps this is merely a flashback in the next issue. Guess we'll find out soon.

Does anybody know if ChrisCross has an Instagram or Twitter page?

Let's just list everything and their situation
Killer Croc was responsible for his Pre Crisis parents murder but at that time Jason was still a civilian
After he became Robin it was Crazy Quilt
The first Post Crisis villain was Ma Gunn but that's before he began training
In Nov 1986 Jason as Robin faced Magpie in Legends Chapter 1
New 52 Jason follows the Red Hood Gang remnants and fought their disguised Untitled leader after trained by Talia
The only villain of New 52 Jason I can think of after he became Robin but before his death was Killer Croc, set in Croc's origin story Villain Issue published at the time of Forever Evil

My preference is a villain that gives personal significance similar to Two-Face to Dick in Robin Year One

Thanks for the links. There's even an artwork with Bizarro and Artemis on Instagram. Are they aged-up or am I misinterpreting some lines?
