It's Kyle. They teamed up in Countdown.
Kyle Rayner and Jason Todd don't know each other in New52/Rebirth, or?
I wouldn't be averse to some Kyle and Jason team-up in the future. And it's always a good idea to have a guy on your friends list who has space access - in case Jason does not only have to flee Gotham but the whole planet.
And I believe Kyle and Jason are roughly the same age. Although I don't know Kyle good enough to tell if he would befriend a guy like Jason (former crime lord, has killed people) or if he would look down on him.
Actually Jason and Kyle hated each other in Countdown and Kyle was at least pre flashpoint the same age as Dick.
When it comes to Alfreds Birthday is only in Injustice August 16th, other dates that were given for his Birthday are April 8th, December 7th and Superman's Earth Day (don't what the official date for that).
All I can remember from Countdown was that awful "Retodd" joke from Dona, to which Kyle chuckled and answered, "Good one" like a lovesick puppy. I mean, really? Calling a guy who was previously brain-damaged retarded? And Jason was saving them. I couldn't warm up to either Kyle or Dona after that.
Oh thanks. I didn't get the joke - and it's ... really not nice. Although Donna and Kyle probably didn't know that Jason was once brain-damaged. And I remember Kyle behaving like a jealous (ex?)-lover and Jason being annoyed by that. But I don't think Jason was actually hitting on Donna, or? I was a little disappointed by Jason when he left the group because he had enough. On the other hand he
- met a Batman who killed the Joker in revenge for murdering his Jason
- said Batman goes on a killing spree (as Jason's Bruce had predicted in UtRH), gets kicked out of the Justice League, everyone leaves him and he is alone in the end
- but said Batman accepts Jason the way he is and gives him the Red Robin uniform
- sadly said Batman gets killed (which maybe could have been prevented if he had had the support of other heroes/the Justice league)
- Jason kills the Joker from another universe in revenge
That's a lot to stomach. For Jason it was always his "happy ending" scenario that Bruce kills Joker - but so he had to learn that there never was a happy ending for him.
And I'm glad that Jason didn't keep the Red Robin uniform.

You guys can complain all you want about Countdown, but don't forget it was the first story that gave us a glimpse of a JAosn that was willing to move past Batman, thus, being the direct precedent to N52's Jason and beyond.
