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

[Zaresh]

A user on Reddit posted the variant for Heroes in Crisis #5 which shows Jason's death.
I'm a little surprised that the artist chose that moment and not the more iconic scene of Bruce holding Jason in his arms. (And am I the only one who gets "Psycho"-by-Hitchcock-feelings when seeing the cover?)




Oh, and here is some meme that I found on twitter and that summons up my feelings about Titans' Jason Todd.





@G-Potion: Thanks for explaining. Sometimes I fail at understanding simple stuff.

That cover is pretty good. Are variant covers related to the actual issues contents?

And the meme is fun. I see myself in that caption too :/.

So far the variants haven’t reflected the contents of the issues content.

Oh my God! What happened? Is Jason working for or with his father?

[G-Potion]

Haa. I have to say, so far the last three solicits or so really had my blood pumping. This is like Red Hood in daylight. And Batman can't do a thing but maybe Bruce Wayne can? UTH boardroom meeting style. Anyway I can't wait.

Guess whatever Jason learns in issue #31 sends him back to Gotham.

[G-Potion]

Stephen Segovia on art is great. I love his work on Arkham Knight.

Heh, that was unexpected.

I guess he learns about Willis as Solitary.
On the other hand, isn't this business takeover a very League move?

I love the story title and the story itself. Jason as businessman sounds fun. I want to see Jason's smart and strategic side.
But I'm surprised that the Underlife story is already over(?). I'm curious how the transition from issue 31 to 32 will look like.
I wouldn't have expected to see the Penguin in RHatO again so soon. The Penguin is everywhere - in Batgirl, in RHatO, in Batman, in HiC, in Catwoman, in The Batman Who Laughs ... - is that coincidence that so many writers want to use the character or is that a publicity stunt by DC because Penguin is going to be a villain in a movie, I think(?).

I like that the cover artist drew Penguin with a shaved head (people who read Batman know why.)
The big roulette wheel could be a reference to Batman #411; for comparison:

Depends on how much involved Solitary is with the Underlife I guess. Given the name of the arc and Jason targeting Penguin again, looks like Willis has an influence on what Jason's doing. And if what @Zaresh says about this being similar to a League thing, then there's also Talia to look forward to.

After "kill" the penguin he is interacting with him again in the same comic..

CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE 1000th pages Jason.
