My hot take is that Jason just fundamentally does not work as a villain. I know trauma changes people and stuff but Jason does some really heinous stuff as a villain and no amount of trauma can make someone who was once so compassionate talk about using children as fodder in a gang war lol. It just isn’t believable, he works better as an anti-hero

the writers: create a million open plot lines for red hood also the writers: we don't know what to do with him

I don't think the title is supposed to be "red hood fuckery" but I love it.

I honestly feel like missed a real good opportunity to have Jason as another big brother figure for Damian to show what a potentially killer Robin looked like. It would have been a good means to redeem Jason and play off him having a sort of soft spot for him seeing the aggression in the kid. But they never really went that route. Like you could still have him find the good role model big bro aspect of Nightwing but then have Jason be the cool brother that initially seems like a bad influence but he reluctantly wants to be better for his little brother. That'd be the best route movie-wise, using a slightly toned down Bat Family Jason.

How to fix Red Hood is to have him constantly battle with wanting to be good but finding himself falling back on it being easier to go the lethal route. I think it works best when he alternates between being paired with the rest of the bat family and a couple of solo adventures like the outlaw era. The bonds of brotherhood with his fellow Robin's and batgirl help keep him on the straight and narrow but when he's on his own can he keep walking that line? It would also be good to introduce a dark mirror for him. Someone that represents that villain era Red Hood that he can measure his growth against but also tempt him to fall back on his old ways.

Considering Jason Todd grew up on the streets before becoming Robin, kinda make sense that he would be a bit more cut-throat compared to Dick, who was raised by his family before the incident and meeting Bruce. Dick had stability, and Jason had the exact opposite.

I love how he didn't just bash Jason, but took time to point out Talia and Starfire's bad characterization.

Red Hood killing his enemies is what makes him unique, especially in DC and as a member of Batman's world. Having him travel around the world solo tracking down criminals and killing them could lead to really fun and interesting stories, occasionally crossing paths with other heroes who are too keen on his methods leading to confrontations that could impact both characters. Having him put down the guns and hang out with the bat fam just doesn't sit right with me, especially if joker is still around wreaking havoc.

If we were to introduce Jason into the movies, we can tie him into Damien by saying that after Jason was revived and still with the league of assassins, he was in charge of training Damien in order to get a better understanding of the bat family. Then you can have him hunt Damien down when he chooses Batman over the league

The issue I have with Jason despite him being my favorite bat family member is exactly this. They never know what to do with him and end up going back on really good amazing plot points for some reason. Like, him giving up the guns was an amazing step for his character who'd spent so long in his anger trying to kill criminals because he thought it was the only solution given his death and Talia's manipulations. But than Task Force Z happens, and now he's chasing the Joker across the everywhere with guns again too and it's just really weird to me that they can't for some reason take the time to integrate him into the actual batfamily again and do things with his siblings and reconnect with alfred and such.

Red Hood could be a deep character for DC. He is the ultimate symbol for “the ends justify the means”. I could see him becoming a Punisher type character but Red Hood lacks that inner struggle that makes Punisher easier to make stories for. DC has never really explored Jason’s upbringing. They just gave us a couple stories here and there and that’s it. The problem with Red Hood is that he isn’t a deep character. He literally just popped back up on the scene and that was that. Red Hood theme of doing bad things to do good things could be something that fans could get very interested in and provide DC a way to flesh him out. That’s why the Red Hood Dark Trinity worked.

I think the problem is personal some writers don’t really know how to handle all these bat kids. All these problems with red hood are also there with Tim and Damian they don’t know or aren’t sure what to do. That’s why Tim’s changed names 5 different times and Damian keeps being reset too having trouble not killing when it’s something he already learned not to do or at least not everyone deserves to get 🔪 with Bruce and dick when he was Batman

I think a good idea with Jason is to have him pick up where Grayson left off in terms of secret organizations and spy stories. I would combine Grifter (Cole Cash) with Jason. A lot of people mistake them for the same. He’d be DC’s answer to The Winter Soldier. It add a little more variety to DC comics and cut down on the redundancy.

Talking about Artemis being the odd one out of the Dark Trinity. Don't forget that she did take over for Diana and became Wonder Woman in the 90s and was considered to be a more violent version. So that's probably why they included her as part of the Dark Trinity

He should be recognised by DC and James Gunn more.Hope he has plans with him and possibly to see him in Brave and Bold.

You should make a video about Tim Drake. Out of all the robins, Tim fell off so hard especially after flashpoint.

Jason Todd for me works when he is an Anti-Villain that challenges Batman and gets results via dubious means. He's basically the Punisher but with a long term plan and his method of reducing crime via becoming a crime lord and keeping it under his control seems like a decent plan if Batman would just let him do it. That being said he needs a strong moral code that wants to defend the innocent and a good relationship with the other characters (Namely: Dick, Tim, and Barbara.)

Here before the title is changed

I think in the Death of the Family Joker forced Jason and TIm to fight in Tim's book.....it was hilarious because TIm gives a monologue about how theyre brothers and Redhood just puts a gun to his head and Tim's like "this is why no one likes you

“Red hood fuckery” best title for a video ever

"Are you confused yet, Bruce? Love YA!" Talia is literally every strange text a girl has ever sent me.

I love the trucker cap! I personally like when regular clothes get incorporated into the hero suit. Like Black Canary's leather jacket or the jackets the X-Men wore in the 90's, or how the Spider verse leaves Miles in street clothes and the suit is under them. It makes it kinda realistic and also handy because it's less to change when they have to hero up and save the day.

Red hood fuckery is the Greatest title in comicstorian history

I think my biggest problem with DC and Red Hood just like many other characters is the always "they need to be redeemed" point that many writers and readers think a character needs. I was upset when they seemed to want to do that with Superboy Prime in the one issue that eventually got cancelled. There are people who don't want the characters to be redeemed. Have they redeemed the Joker forever? Made any of the superheroes a canonical villain permanently that is one of the main in the Justice League? So why change from what made him popular just because he is the black sheep of the Bat family? Keep him as Batman's greatest failures as they do with his constant backstory. Keep him as that one that doesn't agree with Batman's way of running Gotham. Keep him as their biggest problem because he knows too much about the Bat family and can cause big problems for them. That would be excellent to see just what that trauma and betrayal did. Like comics do in comic world, they aren't real. If they can come back to life over and over again, they can stay evil or villains. They make it more complicated or listen to fans too damn much.

They should have rolled with it longer and had him be Batgirl with guns.

What happened to JT being a red head? Im guessing it made batman seem over the line insane forcing this child to look like his previous favorite child. I actually prefer the black with white streak anyways mostly because (depending on the art) sometimes it's the only thing that differentiates a room full of maskless robins from one another.

Honestly i would like a Red Hood book where he moves into a city with a huge mafia / mob presence that doesn't have a resident hero ( similar to dick when he became Nightwing and moved to BludHaven) and he pretty much starts from ground zero and basically just becomes a lethal protector of this city and works to take down all mafia influence. I honestly prefer Jason to have more grounded stories / villains so i feel this direction would work best as a start. Then over time they could start to build up Jason's own rouges gallery and start to amp things up and start crafting him some potentially iconic storylines around said rouges. He could also have his own supporting cast (not other bat family members) and we can start to see him form relationships with these supporting characters and his rouges and start to really build up his own separate ( yet still connected to the bat family for certain storylines and cross overs ) mythos in his own little corner of the DC. This is just a thought i always have as a huge Red Hood fan. would love to see them take an approach like this to the character and ACTUALLY let it stick and give us a full run of a book like this instead of having super off the wall stories and Teams in his books. If executed properly i feel like this direction could really flesh Jason as a character out more and give us more Red Hood stories to be adapted into other media instead of them just constantly re-using the Under The Red Hood storyline. Imo his rouges gallery and his storylines should be more grounded in street crime , drugs , trafficking , etc. Red Hood works best when his story is more grounded / street level. One more little thing : if they were ever to take this direction I don't want to constantly see a clash of Jason's and Batman's ideals. I feel they should let them disagree on each others approach to things but have Batman except Jason's methods since Jason would be operating in his own city with his own gallery of rouges / the mafia. Tbh I don't even want other members of the Bat Family to appear in Jason's book often. I have some other more detailed ideas but these are the main ones I feel would work if DC would actual give an author free reign to give Jason a true direction to go in. Please let me know what you guys think of my ideas under this comment. Would love to hear opinions on my opinion lol .

I swear that every time Benny said "Battle for the Cowl" it came out as "Battle for the Cow." I'd so be there to read a story about a fight to gain control of BatCow.

This is a sign to finish my red hood cosplay👀

RHATO Rebirth, honestly one of the best things coming out of DC at the time. Dexter Soy's art was amazing and the writing was crisp as hell

It should be mentioned that Jason todd is technically the original main line DC continuity Red Robin

8:30 "kicks Tim's.... Buttocks i gotta be family friendly for KZfaq" OG Title: Red Hood Fuckery Never change Benny, Never change

Honestly I feel like the only true resolutions for Jason is an older but more militaristic batman who understands that while compassion is needed some people need to just be killed. Or a fully matured mentor that sees the error of his old ways and because of that reaches out to help train new batfamily.

I think Gunn should look at how the winter soldier was used and essentially copy that to make sure people still sympathize with him and don’t see him as just a villain

The thing is he was made to be an anti-hero so he cannot kill(No anti-hero in DC kills anymore including huntress) and he is not a villain, there is as well the idea of making him some type of punisher but in his origin he just wanted to kill joker and would have no problem not killing others unless needed, so DC basically lost the idea of the character

Red hood is the best character in dc his story in red hood and the outlaws was amazing and after his initial villain arc he became what batman should've been he only kills the worst of the worst not small criminals or simple thugs

The problem with Red Hood? Writers wont let him actually kill a villain and get away with it. Joker? Came back. Black Mask? Came back. Just let the man be who you designed him to be.

What you don't mention is the popularity of the animated movie and the Arkham games where the character at this point mostly known for. The comics are always reluctant to detach too far from what potential new readers already perceive the character to be. Also want to mention the Three Jokers story had my favorite depiction of the character since the movie.

Lets pretend that original title didnt happen... lol, I'd keep it if KZfaq wouldnt demontize or remove the entire video lol. Anyway, check out Mangastorian! kzfaq.info/love/RR7REQ6a0K3hOHNVdgBPcA

Woah came out swinging with the title there, respect btw

Jason coming back by clawing his way out of his coffin and pulling himself from his grave will always be my head canon

I would like to see maybe Jason being Arkham knight first and do the whole Batman with guns thing and then realise he shouldn’t kill then become red hood who is still brutal but less killy

In the whole Hush story. It turned out that it actually was Jason, and got replaced by Clayface at the very ending when Jason hides behind a wall or something like that. Talia wanted him to become his own version of the Bat, Jason was hell bent on revenge and Talia thought for a while that yes he needed to work through it. But didn't really go anywhere either. Also don't forget that he was also a part of the Court of Owls storyline. Where he was "integral" by protecting a side of the city or something. I love Jason, but I agree. His story is a bit of a mess. Outlaws was a good start, I liked it. Jason did sleep with Starfire but it didn't last long either. She dates Arsenal for a while and that had its own issues and got completely disregarded when she got her own series again. Dark Trinity was fun. Up until the space ship. They shouldn't have made Bizarro smart like that. (Though Jason really loving his jetpack felt right. Lol) I'd love a proper Red Hood in James Gunn's movie line up. But then one that is taking a few movies to flesh out. Or where he simply is and how he works around the Bat. Good video. Love the rant, lol.

Jason should have either stayed dead or always be a wanted vigilante and adversary to Batman and the Robins. It doesn't make sense for them to be buddy buddy. He's a literal murderer. Bruce's devotion to justice prevented him from dating Catwoman for years because she stole stuff. No way he should be cool with a murderer hanging out in the batcave even if he turned over a new leaf, unless it's like a temporary alliance of necessity. Jason should be facing life in prison.

Honestly they should really just stick with Red Hood being an Anti-hero because I found that to be the best overall rather than him being a complete evil villian since he is essentially good but he just kills his villians. He just works better as the black sheep that the batfamily only works with on rare occasions.

Comicstorian: Jason steals a Nightwing outfit and now he's Nightwing with guns and then he steals a red robin outfit and now he's Red Robin with guns. Me: And then he steals a Batgirl outfit and now he is Batgirl with guns! Comicstorian: That wasn't working so they threw that out almost immediately. Me: oh....... We... didn't go there? 🙃

I would love if you make one for every robin (and Barbara). Nightwing would be tough to nitpick though Since Damien is here to stay, Tim does not have an obvious path to move beyond being Robin and every writer is either beating around the bush or is straight up incompetent (Bendis's revolutionary idea to call him Drake).

All I saw was red hood and I clicked no regrets

"red hood fuckery" 💀

This is your best video yet Benny. Hilarious watching you try and explain this mess.

It's so sad to see how inconsistent almost ANY character gets over time. I've come to enjoy characterizations by fans so much more since they actually make consistent choices that are logical... It's sad to see how much 'canon' ruins it :( that being said, great video man! Very very informative!!

I would say they should take inspiration from these characters, punisher, winter soldier, Raphael, and jinx. The mission and determination of the punisher, the ptsd, and abilities of winter soldier, the anger and attitude of raph, and the execution of jinx from arcane.

Here’s my hot take on the matter, I feel like the reason why they kept messing up Jason cause at the time they didn’t fully understand how to make an antihero and with the new 52 it seems like that what they wanted Jason to be like but didn’t know how to go about it

Love your stories

I think In the DCU it’d be good if they just show Jason’s Robin suit in the case and Damian asks Bruce whose suit does it belong to and Batman replies Jason Todd, a former Robin. Then in the sequel we get Batman Under the Red Hood in live action.

When a villain becomes popular, they become a anti hero. Often they get ruined this way. I believe Red Hood should be a anti-hero. Leading a crime syndicate would be interesting. He wouldn’t fight crime, he’d control it. It could make for some interesting Batman and Redhood team ups

Wow I had no idea the history of the Red Hood was so convoluted lol no wonder whenever he appears in outside media they just wanna reuse the same story over and over again 😅 That’s gotta be hard to deal with when his stories are just all over the place… I like these more “off-the-cuff” type “rants” lol…😆 They’re entertaining and I learn stuff. Keep on keeping on~👍🏽

I think the best thing to do with Red Hood is give him an arc where he's dealing with all the mob bosses in Gotham while Batman deals with the theatrical villains

There is a little of Jason in all of us, but there is multiverse of do do in DC editorial.

Love these videos benny!

Gotta love how Benny says "gotta be child friendly for KZfaq" but names the video red hood fuckery😂😂

Ben calling Roy "red hood" twice is so funny idk why

4:35 They didn't decide that it would be fun to tease Jason being back. They wanted Hush to be Jason, with Tommy Elliott merely being a mentally disturbed red herring, but got cold feet at the last minute because Jason was one of the "sacred deaths in comics". They then went through with Under the Hood because of the audience reception.

.man I love these-its my favorite thing u do

Still loving ur content ❤

Love this series to keep up with the history of the characters as well.

I'd like trucker hat red arrow. It really sells the down on his luck kind of character that they have been portraying him as lately.

I like the "red hood fuckery" title better. 😄

Amazing Video, I only need to say that I too love the Trucker Cap. you are not alone!

i think jason can work in the DCU still and could even work very well tbh. build him up over a couple movies through dialogue about him - maybe bruce uses him as a cautionary tale to damian. ppl always draw comparisons between him and damian so they can use that to their advantage here and use damian as a surrogate to show us how jason was as a robin while bruce recognizes that and through his attempts to avoid repeating history we learn about jason until his eventual return / redemption. a movie universe allows them to build continuity and context over time so they don’t HAVE to make jason’s whole story fit into one movie like under the red hood and he doesn’t have to appear immediately in the first movie either.

I love how they admit Red Hood needs his Guns in the Comics, but refuse to let them make Figures with Guns anymore. I hate that by the time I was looking to get a Red Hood Fig they did this!

The funny parts of this video is when you have to do an exposition dump and you just speed talk through the comic boo madness

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't DC say that they were going to include the Gotham Knights video game story into their cinematic universe? If they do that, they can just pick up where that story left off and have him work with the rest of the Bat Family.

In Batman urban legends he accidentally kills the boy's father the one with the mom goes into overdose and goes into the hospital she survives at the end.

I think the new revamping of the DC cinematic universe with Damian could work really well in integrating Red Hood. Imagine at the end of Damian's introduction movie about the league of assassin's or smthn, Damian sides with Batman and not Talia, and then Talia resurrects Jason to have another pawn against batman or smthn. I think that could work quite well.

Outlaws should be it own anti-hero team book with all the antihero members of each family: red hood, arsenal, Artemis, godspeed, Eradicator, and so on. They act as the justice leagues junkyard dogs doing the dirty work they can denie.

I feel like they don't know what to do with him, half of the time. They should have kept him as an mysterious anti hero, who isn't afraid to kill someone that stands in his way, and is fueled by revenge. It's also really weird how they team him up with people. I feel like he would never team up with anyone because of what happened when he was with batman. Another thing I would like to see is the hole batfamily disowning Jason, all but Damien who struggled whit the same thing Jason did when he was his age (Killing people). A storyline I would love to see. Would be that batman realising Jason needs to be stopped and is his gratest failure. The only thing batman feels he can do is to put Jason in arkam. They fight and batman puts Jason there to hide him away from the world. In arkam Jason sees all batmans failures and he loses a big part of his humanity seeing how a fate worse then death is awaited in arkam. There Jason is faced with true evil both on arkams and the wilains side and he decide that he wants to kill batman.

Good vid. Thanks

Best Character in DC honestly, love the trucker hat lol Just a fan. That aside, thanks for all your content man! Just realized how many years I've been following you 🤣

Sasha and Jason's relationship was a really good mentor-student one imo, I miss them. Also I want a red hood who kills and is also on the outlaws, with all the members. And I like Roy's hat

The Red Hood is my favorite thing about DC. I was 16 when the Death in The Family comics came out. This was back when you could buy them at drug stores. I loved Jason Todd as Robin and had a lot of anxiety over what was going to happen to him. I even called the phone number to save him. I was really angry when he died, and resented Denny O'Neil for a while. I eventually stopped collecting comics altogether because of some bad experiences in my twenties as an illustrator, and once I learned how the sausage was made, I kind of lost my appetite for it. Fast forward 30 or so years, I start publishing my own books and zines, and there's a lot of overlap with comics because we work with comic stores sometimes. I wanted to see what was out there, so I started collecting again. I learned, much to my delight, that Jason Todd was back and doing things you'd expect adult Jason Todd to be doing. I don't have a problem with him being kind of a DC/Bat Family Punisher. I feel like it's the most honest depiction of what happens when you adopt children, put them through hell and raise them to fight crime. Every time The Bat Family shows up, I get a little uncomfortable, because I'm reminded that Bruce Wayne plucks children out of the wild and throws them into dangerous situations. It's hard for me to view Batman as a good guy anymore because of this. I think having two well-adjusted former Robins like Tim Drake and Nightwing is way more unusual than the one that goes around slaughtering bad guys. I'm surprised they don't all do it.

He did actually made peace with batfamily I mean in New 52 when Damien Wayne was stealing items from ex Robins to show he is the best Robin which followed in team up of Dick,Jason and Tim and at the end of that story they start to see each others as brothers, then in DC Rebirth we have annual story of Outlaws teaming up with Nightwing where Dick and Jason really started to get along then we have three Joker story which started common understanding of Jason and Barbara.Tim was always in contact with Jason they even hang out in their free time and Alfred never give up on Jason. So yes in Batman Urban legends he finaly made peace with Bruce and for now he has trust of the family all he needs is a writer who will not write him like a prick

I love the trucker hat look. I really enjoyed Red Hood's books and didn't realize just how disjointed it all was until this summary.

I much perfered Jason in the Outlaws run. Specifically the one where hes teaming up with bizzaro and Artemis. I remember this one special/annual where they went into a circus/carnival and met up with nighting. In that issue it kinda showed the relationship both Jason and Dick had, a brother type of relationship in a way and it was sweet to see. Where Jason despite all the bitterness he has in him, and indured many hardships, still has respect for the bat family despite the fundamental differences in terms of morals between him and his mentor who made him what he is.

honestly if they were to introduce Jason todd into the DC movie universe the best would be adding hints to him. Stuff in the background, small mentions, hell maybe even a flashback that involves him could work. Basically you'd want to build up to it over the course of a couple movies.

19:25 Anyone else see the smoke coming out of his ears from just trying to explain Joker’s Daughter? That was the fastest TLDR I’ve ever heard in my life.

Tim actually let him go right before the battle for the cowl as seen by how that was at the end of his Robin run and then he's Red Robin right after Battle for the Cowl. Plus it was part of Bruce's final wishes that they don't give up on him and Tim was super begrudging about it.

Simply put, Red Hood should be DC’s Punisher/John Wick/DoomSlayer/Kratos all combined into one in order to make him one of the most lethal/dangerous human beings in the DC Universe. He has little to no association with Batman, or the rest of the Bat Family, and even comes into conflict with them, plus other heroes that have issue with him in his genocide against the worst of the worst criminals. Hell, have him end up killing a few heroes that get into his way to show how deadly and unremorseful he actually is, who’ll not let anything or anyone get in his way of his crusade. He has little to no empathy, and barely values human life as a byproduct of his time in Tartarus after his demise, having incurable PTSD from it which makes him even more ruthless and cruel. With these character traits in mind, you now have a interesting character that fits into the larger DC Universe on his own two feet as opposed to being the robin trying to be Spider-Man who uses guns, often non-lethal guns via rubber bullets or some ballocks like that. DC/Warner are sitting on a goldmine with Red Hood that they continually piss away his potential value when he can be their John Wick in terms of box office potential.

Really hope punchline isn’t dead and gone I think the character is unique but I know why it was the idea of Harley Quinn being replaced that probably put her under

I loved the redhood and paintball mask looked cool. Great designs.

i think u can do red hood in the movies if u build him up as a big bad. Hint to What happened to Jason in the Batman movies, you can even have a bonding moment where batman talks to Damien about since Damien is a bit more aggressive of a robin like Jason was. Start with seeding in that something is different with the mobsters in Batman movies and its like a side thing Batman is dealing with before introducing the bid bad of that movie. Then do the under the red hood storyline with one change, have it be that Jason was just brought back by Taliah for whatever reason (Maybe trying to make him a solider to lead their army or something) but when he comes back he has PTSD of what joker did to him (to explain why he is hunting the joker) and to explain the violent tendencies say its a side-effect from being revived, after he was dead for so long. At the end of the movie he can accept that he took it to far and did alot of bad things but still not agree with Batman's mission and he leaves (maybe even end the fight in a way where you think Jason could actually beat Batman. Then have him be an anti-hero, i think Red Hood and Arsenal works better as a tv-show more than a movie but continue his story there before brining him back for a Battle of the Cowl movie (if they do one). *Note when hinting at what happened to Jason keep that he was to aggressive but at the same time have him be the best robin as in the most skilled. This way after he leaves in Under The Red Hood you can still have bat-family members going to him for help so you can reasonably put him into other movies.

I've been thinking about that too, How do you fix the Red Hood Storyline? And the best route I can think of is to have him struggle with walking the straight and narrow. Like after Under The Red Hood you do the Red Hood and The Outlaws where Jason teams up with clone Roy Harper (going by Arsenal) and Starfire (during the first disbanding of the Titans) and they work well with each other for a good while with Starfire and Jason even try out a relationship. That of course would end at one point where during say the war on Tameran to help Blackfire, Jason, and Starfire are fighting (psychically against soldiers and emotionally with each other) Starfire calls him Dick, showing that the Princess might have some unresolved feelings with the first Robin. Starfire then chooses to stay on her home world for some time while Roy and Jason go the heroes-for-hire route, but both are having issues, Jason's anger getting to him as he feels like he was used as a cheap substitute while Roy finds out Chesire had their kid and just put her in the foster system. Now both have a reason for this to work: Jason to once and for all get out of Dick's shadow while Roy wants to be successful enough to get parental rights to his daughter. You end it with their business being successful (not great mind you, but people notice the pair is doing some real good.) and you end it with Roy getting his daughter while Jason heads back to Gotham for Death of the Family. Jason goes to help the batfam deal with the Joker when the Clown princess (who at this point knows who they all are) puts each member in a trap designed to fuck with them. Jason's trap is pretty simple, it's a mirror of the choice from Under The Red Hood: Joker gives him a gun and is holding a detonator that'll blow random bombs in Gotham, all Jason has to do is shoot Joker and so many lives would be spared. But can he do it? He's been such an awfully good boy lately, probably getting gold stars from batsy for all the people he's let live. Does Red Hood still have his edge, or maybe, Jason needs a reminder? At this, a video is played on the walls showing Jason's beating, all the while the Joker comments with each strike while Jason boils until he pulls the trigger. Instead of firing, however, the moment the hammer hits the bullet it doesn't fire but causes a cloud of smoke to seep from the gun. As Jason loses consciousness the last thing he hears is, "See kid, that's what I love about you. You're so predictable. But then again, so am I!" Right before the Joker flips the switch.

I love how they just did it again with the ahem "FIRST ROBIN"

I really liked the All Caste addition to Jason's character. Given the way he was brought back via the Lazarus Pit, there was already some sort of mystical connection to the League of Assassins, plus the All-Blades are just really cool imo. They're also pretty situational, so it's not like he can use them for everything. Swords powered by his soul that only work against magic and mystical creatures is a really unique thing Jason brings to the table beyond "Batman with guns". As for the movies, the ideal scenario would be to have Batman's trilogy focus on doing Death In The Family, Hush, and Under The Red Hood as their own movies; DITF to establish Jason's rough past, Hush to both tease his return and establish Tim as a B plot, and then UTRH for Jason's return, then use that as a jumping off point for a Red Hood show or even a trilogy of movies. Since we're getting BaTB, they could make regular comparisons to Jason with Damian's troubles to set up the idea and then go from there?

THE GREATEST TITLE OF ALL TIME

BTW nice collection in background. They just super much seem like backdrops on a soundbooth

30:53 “Blam Blam Blam Blam, and then I started blastin” hahahaha

RH Rebirth was amazing, before the team split, i have no idea how Scott Lobdell was able to write something that good consistently for 3 years.

Jason Todd as he steals the Batmobile Tire: 🔥Jingle Bells Batman smells, his Robin laid an egg.... His Batmobile lost a wheel and Joker got away🔥hey!!!😉👌🏽

I like how they brought back the dark trinity in webtoon.
