Knock, knock! Who’s there? That’s what The Joker is trying to find out. But as he closes in on the man he thinks is pretending to be him, Jason Todd is right on his heels. And Jason has got a great joke about a little kid and a crowbar. Maybe you’ve heard it before. It kills.

[RedBird]

Strangely enough whilst Jason isn't mentioned in the solicitation whatsoever he never the less shows up on both what appears to be the main cover and on a variant cover for a new one shot, LAZARUS PLANET: NEXT EVOLUTION #1. Make of that what you will.

HEROES WILL BE FORGED!


Good and bad, yin and yang…all sides of humanity will be transformed by the Lazarus event…and in the DC Universe one thing’s for sure: heroes will always rise. In this special we’ll explore some of the amazing new powers gifted to the freedom fighters of the future…and we’ll see what perils these villain-vanquishing virtuosos will face. What secret does Flatline seek from the heart of Talia al Ghul’s HQ? Can Red Canary bring order to an out-of-control city? What secret does the heroic Dead Eye hold that will haunt him forever? And enter into a brand-new legend with the fantastic debut of Vigil!

It all ends here! With the future of Gotham City at stake, Bruce Wayne leads an attack on the Wayne-Powers building to take down Blight and his minions once and for all. And with the new Batman, the Robins, and GCPD's Barbara Gordon at his side, anything seems possible. But not all endings will be happy: Bruce is still an escaped
felon, and the FBI is hot on his tail. Could this be the end of Batman? Not if the mysterious Agent Prince has anything to say about it!

[Zaresh]

Alright. So, I need to add that new oneshot to the OP post, right?

Edit: and done.

Whose the guy with the scope mask?

Is that Bloodsport?

The Dead Eye character in the solicit?

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Yeah, that is him. People are thinking he is just Zombie Deadshot but we'll see.

What do you guys think about the theories that Jason is becoming Vigil? Personally, I think the Red Hood brand is too big now to be scrapped and that Vigil is the new guy in the middle of the B&W variant cover.

And speaking of variants, Jason is on the TFZ armor in one variant of Tim's book



EDIT: Martinbrough tweeted on November 15th that the Red Hood book is still coming but things are going slower than he expected

If DC did that, I think I would honestly drop all my comics and stop purchasing from DC.
That would be the final straw for me.

Good to know it's still on the way.

[CorDaytona]

Good to see some acknowledgment at least.

Hopefully by the next solicitations we get something. To be honest, I'm afraid my expectations are a bit higher than what it might eventually be like: it's a mini, after all (unless the scope changed), so I guess Jason will keep bouncing from book to book for the foreseeable future. It'd be nice to have it be an ongoing under Martinbrough and, hopefully, a good artist.

Every time I see that suit, I can see the issues with it

It really does lack personality especially considering Red Hood's whole style was the casual civvies look to contrast his more colorfully attired family

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

Classic outfit on Dark Crisis The Dark Army

He could really use those All-Blades right about now.
