Jason Todd (Robin, Arkham Knight, Red Hood) Appreciation

[Mockingbird]

He divides a lot of opinions, but let's face it; sometimes you've just got to love Jason Todd!

I can't help loving the guy myself. Favorite antihero and favorite Robin.

I remember him when he was a Dick-clone from before CoIE.



Then he became annoying when they tried to make him as anti-Dick as they could after CoIE.

But, I've decided to give him a fair shot these days, and I just ordered Vol. 1 of the RHatO tpb from barnesandnoble.com the other day (less than $10.00!), so we'll see what I think of him after that.

And the holy gospel of Todd spreads. Let the light in, brother, don't fight it.

We must spread the gospel of Todd to all corners of the globe.

Hell yes. I had made the last appreciation thread for him. He has been my Robin and my favorite character in the Batman universe. I have every book he has ever appeared in. Can't wait for Lobdell to get back on the book. Let's all spread the gospel and LET THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME!

double post.

I love JT, as I do all the sidekicks, but I just can't get into RHatO. Read it during the DotF arc and for a few issues after that but couldn't get into it. Anyone else feel like this?

Throwing in some art.

Ah, Jason and the people who were absolutely not growing on him at all, nope. I love their friendships so much.

Mine to. I'm still working at getting every book he's appeared in though. I'm very excited to see Lobdell back as well. The book has been a mess since he left IMHO.

Agreed.

I mean it started going downhill with the Joker tie-ins, but Tynion's stuff just didn't cut it. The art was inconsistent and sometimes just gross. The cast was actually awesome, so the fact that the story we got out of that cast, and the elite of the elite of the Assassins League, was pretty sad. Maybe they'll show up in Tomasi's story and kick total ass.

He was cooler when he was trying to kill aliens.

Has there been (or will there be) a future "sticky" with every appearance he's had (and where it's most recently been collected)?

I would like to see that myself but if I'm not mistaken not very much of the older stuff has been collected even. There are a few trades out there for some of the bigger stories like The Cult, Death in the Family, Under the Red Hood, Red Hood:Lost Daysand I'm certain his appearances in the pre-reboot Batman and Robin have been collected in the trades for that title. (I have the entire run in floppies though so I'm not interested in the trades) Other stories he was in might be in individual trades for the titles that they apply to and there are also trades for Red Hood and the Outlaws of course but most of the rest is all in individual back issues that for some reasons are really difficult to come by. I had most of the issues back in the day but lost them when a couple of my long boxes got lost during a move.

[Mr. Mastermind]

Jason's probably the most underrated Batman character out there.

He's been handled terribly in the past, but the New 52 version is an awesome mix of hero and badass.
