Background information:
"I'm my own man! Me, Jason Todd!"
(Batman #408)
Jason Peter Todd, born and risen in Lady City of Gotham's crudest part, came to become the second Robin, the Red Hood and the Wingman; the Arkham Knight of a different, grimmer universe; The Damned Prince of Gotham who suffered and died by the hand of the Clown Prince of Crime - but also the young man whose sheer will and bad luck couldn't let him rest and who made his way back from the grave.
Vigilante, avenger: he fights for fairness, for setting the wrong right and for defending and protecting those who cannot fend themselves, and he will do so crossing lines into dark areas or delivering a brutal brand of justice. A daring and sassy adventurer who has traveled not only this world and the space, but other universes. A flawed man who fights not only the monsters out but also inside, who fears the ghosts of memories and suffers from them and despite that will fight back with determination. A man who can despise himself as much as he despises others; Who makes mistakes but also rights; Who can love as much as long for being loved, and hate as much as he loves. Who can lose himself in anger as well as in loneliness.
Jason Peter Todd is a complex character, product of a complex editorial history. This is his appreciation thread and this is how we come to appreciate and ramble about him.

SCOTT SUMMERS AND EMMA FROST DESERVED BETTER.
Surprised Tynion's newsletter hasn't been posted yet.
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/jame...and-the-joker/Urban Legends is going to be a real gift. A lot of storylines will be seeded in that title before they break out into their own titles… There are also more books to come in the Gotham line as the year goes on. Big moments in the core Gotham titles will set new runs in motion in other titles. Backups and shorts might turn into one-shots and miniseries and series, and we're working to make sure it all matters.
I'm not sure about what to think of these possibilities, to be honest. For a unified storyline running among multiple titles to work, it needs that the person in charge of it has the needed chops to spin so many plates at once and unfortunately, DC has proved again and again that they no longer have people around able to do that. Furthermore, Tynion is the current architect of the Batman universe for the foreseeable future, and I've never liked his work or the creative choices he makes (to not mention that the one time he wrote Jason it was an unreadable mess) so I'm worried the remedy ends up being worse than the sickness.
We'll have to wait and see, I guess.
Sounds like it’ll be a collaborative effort with monthly meetings and such so maybe it’ll be more of them hands off and focused on making sure everybody’s on the same page with recent developments.
