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

[Daredevil is Legend]

Originally, I thought he wore it to kind of mess with the rest of the Bat-fam.

Like he's got a bat-symbol on his chest while giving the troll-face grin.

That would make more sense than the obvious marketing stunt they're pulling

[JasonTodd428]

Hmmmmmm, i'm not sure but anything is better than a Bat symbol or that skull Morrison gave him. Maybe he shouldn't have any symbol.

I liked the skull a lot myself but I'm not sure how it would fit with him now. No symbol at all might be a way to go. Sure isn't an easy answer to this one is there?

Also i heard Jensen Ackles is voicing the Arkham Knight in the Batman game.Is that true?

I've heard that too but as to whether it's true I've no idea.

I rather his actions be his symbol. But how would you feel if Jason turns out to be Akrham Knight?

[Dark_Tzitzimine]

The main issue of having the skull as symbol is the fact that it would made Jason a Punisher copycat on the collective mind once again, denying him a chance to be his own character. And really I don't know why you guys are so fixated on the symbol, neither the writers or the characters or Jason himself care about it. Personally I think is a really neat touch to highlight both his upbringing as Robin and his connection with Batman.

A little bit of trivia, Morrison's Red Hood was pretty much lifted from an earlier character Morrison created for Animal Man a few years back, the Red Mask:

[JasonTodd428]

I though I had seen the design somewhere else before it was used for Jason but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. Thanks for helping me remember where it was.

So what did you guys think when Jason slept with Talia. I hear most fans hated it(not me).But I thought i'd ask anyways

[K. Jones]

Jason hasn't seemed badass enough lately; I hope they're not watering him down into a "good boy".

I'm eager to see what Tim Seeley does with him, if only because as has come up in quite a few other threads, Seeley's big into the Morrison stuff, and while we can be sure the black & white & red all over Frank Quitely costume won't be making a comeback, perhaps a rematch with Flamingo could, or some other really cool nod. (This is a writer who in a handful if issues has given us a streamlined, updated, holistic Croc, resurrected Doctor Darrk, cut loose Lord Death Man, given temporary closure to Talon's state-of-mind, etc ...) Plus Jaybird and Babs have run into each other less than a handful of times since his return, and since they both got their lives ruined by the Joker in the same "real-life-year"/"timeline-month-or-so", they've probably got some common ground to hash out.

(Side note ... since Seeley is handling Batwoman chores, AND Killer Croc chores, could we get a patch-job on the disparate, but not totally contradictory J.H. Williams Batwoman and Villain's Month Killer Croc one-shots? Ah, that's another topic!)

I hated it myself. I'd liked Lost Days up until that point, in fact I still do, but that just threw me completely out of the story. Seemed like it was done for shock value more than anything else.

What do you think about Essence?

[JasonTodd428]

What do you think about Essence?

I wasn't bothered by his relationship with Essence half as much as I was by his sleeping with Talia maybe because it seemed more organic to me while the other seems more forced. IDK. What's your take?

Nice to see him get something that's his

[Badou]

That makes sense. Back then I saw it as more as Jason wearing it as a sort of f-you to Batman and to Dick as well since it was his suit at some point. Nowadays I haven't really given it that much thought. Maybe he's continuing to wear it so that it's clear that Batman vouches for him(?).

Well the non comic reason is that he wears it because that is how the character has been marketed in the reboot. To change it now sort of diminishes it. It's why DC is so reluctant to make any design changes with their characters costumes no matter how bad they are.

That was part of as well.

[Daredevil is Legend]

I really wanna see Jason team with Deadshot

[oasis1313]

I'd like to see Red Hood solo without Roy and Kory.
