Jason Todd: Robin, Arkham Knight, Red Hood Appreciation 2018

I get that the artist wanted to try something new with Jasons new costume....but he really should have left the previous helmet design. The rest of the costume is great but that mask looks really stupid IMO.


Am I the only one who thinks so?

Nah I'm of the same opinion. Guess they wanted to do away with the mask for favor of allowing the artist to show more recognizable facial expression that are not hidden behind the hood. I also don't like the sleeveless jacket or the haircut but the color palette, hoodie, boots and the close ranged weapons I actually am happy with.

Is there a reason/Are there reasons why nearly the whole team leaves RHatO? And what are there next projects?

My guess is they are wanting a particular feel for this story line, something edgy and dark, instead of what we've had since Rebirth started. I imagine that's why the whole new team aside of Lobdell.

In other news, I just have to say, new outfit is a blast to draw guys. So much fun, and so many options between hood on/off, domino, mask, weapons etc etc.

Anyone thinks Scott Lobdell might do another interview anytime soon?

I really hope he does. I like hearing the things he has planned and actual enjoy his interviews unlike some writers, who I feel give far to much away in them.

Really hope so. I just dropped the question to Brian over at Batman-news. His last interview with Lobdell was enlightening.


Edit: Hey is the forum working properly now? Loading time is pretty fast for me.

Awesome! Hope we hear from him soon.

Seems the forum is back to normal now on my end as well.

So a source shared a bit of something. They were replying to a comment about Bruce and Penguin.

spoilers:

Look, if Jason really wanted Penguin dead, he’d do it where it looked like an accident and Bruce wouldn’t know at all. (Uhhhhhspoilersbedamnbed) Bruce is in one hell of a ride and his actions will show in other titles when characters decide to help or to leave Batman “hanging ”. Jason on the other hand (and Roy) I’m gonna love the annual but the feels in that. …and it’s been building up with Roy too. And for Art and Biz….just get ready for some…(spoilers be damned) …for some reason. A dark tide has come. I even worry for what’s gonna happen to Batgirl with how much craps gonna come. And with Damian “bs” and Tim living the “norm ” life (another bs mind you) Dick and Alfred are gonna ….yeah…anyways I’m just waiting for someone on the team to put Bruce back in his place

end of spoilers

And another.

spoilers:

It was beautiful. Another story knocked out of the park and I can’t wait for more. And as for family ties….a soul will be torn by blood and love. Just what family will win Jason’s…..(all I can say is Bruce done fd up)

end of spoilers

I really don't think our Jaybird deserved that beating he's gotten when you have Kate still being Batwoman like it's nothing. That shade he threw at Batman about Joker was totally accurate. Why not put that same energy towards your villains instead of lashing out at your children?

I hear next week's issue is going to be very Jason and Roy centric. I don't think I'm ready for that.

He was using super mittens against Deathstroke last week and we saw what he did to Karma in Tec. We all know that Batman isn't going to punch guys like Riddler, Penguin, Mad Hatter, Scarecrow etc who're at a hilarious physical disadvantage as hard as people he's trained to be like him such as Nightwing, Red Hood or the other physically adept villains like Slade, Ra's or Bane.

And the kicker is that Jason didn't feel like fighting back. The first fight he was throwing shade to goad Batman into hitting him harder and the second fight he was so devastated at the loss of his teammates as well as likely injured from the fall, I feel like the kick he threw at Batman was less about winning and more lashing out/wanting to get it over with.
