When a shocking encounter with Batman solidifies the Red Hood’s status as a villain, Jason Todd goes deep undercover to take down Gotham City’s criminal underworld from the inside.

So I guess Jason is working for Bruce after all

I was under the impression he was going undercover for himself after reading that (Given the villain reference). But you might be right. Time will tell.

Really, liking those covers....a shame that Camuncoli isn't actually drawing the book, with Soy.

However, why is this team going against the GOTHAM criminal underworld, and working with Batman...that makes no sense. Not only is this group overkill, they can/should kill every major villain, and it's not like Batman could stop them on his own if he wanted to.

Ya'll already know I wanted a solo, or him teaming with Lex and Grail, but this group really makes me think that Jason could've made an interesting addition to the Suicide Squad.

Jason with the Suicide Squad? Shoot, I'd be down.

I would too. That's another franchise getting a lot of attention.

If the DCEU rumors are right, and we do get a UtRH movie adaptation, I want him to get picked up by the Waller for her Squad following his defeat.

[KrustyKid]

That really sounds like a good idea. That would give him a nice little direction to work in the movie verse

Yup, exactly, and that could lead to other possibilities.

I don't see Jason being all that willing to work with Waller not even back in the PreFP days. That direction doesn' t even make any sense. If it was a choice between what we're getting at Rebirth, him in Suicide Squad or him going solo I pick a solo or whatever this new direction is taking him before his being in the Squad. Heck I'd rather read a book that returns to being a murderous vigilante, providing they take that idea in an interesting direction before I'd pick up a Suicide Squad book with him in it and I think everyone here pretty much knows by now what I thought of that angle.

Gotta agree on the Gotham part. With this much firepower, this team should be international.

I really like the idea of Jason being undercover for Batman rather than him going back to be a villain
I did like him as a villain with under the hood and Battle for the Cowl happen but I really think we are way past that after the Batman & Robin Eternal
It just doesnt feel right. or at least like an organic path for the character
I hope for the best.

Jason being undercover for Bruce after a very public falling out is an interesting direction for the character. In a way, it amounts to taking the format of Grayson and repurposing it for Jason's particular situation. And it will be a little amusing to have two former Robins doing infiltration at the same time (and a third still wanted by the police). It would be interesting, albeit unlikely, if Jason and Dick end up closing in on the same people from two different directions.

While we still haven`t been confirmed if it`s Jason or not (tho it seems most likely he is) here`s a little description of the staff that is on display together with the costume.

Holy moses Batman. Training a kid to use an axe? It`s like Snyder took Miller`s Batman on roids. but regardless, it does shed more light in the Jason camp as simbology goes. Reminded me of that scene in The Cult where Jason is trained to use a rifle.

I still think after this issue, Jason should be dead and stay dead. Hence the reason Batman keeps his suit in a glass case. If I'm correct. I admit I may need correction.
