Physically, ridiculously dangerous. Batman, through a mirror darkly. Unfortunately, characters like Jason are also the agents of introspection and change. Most, right? Because it sells that way, obviously. The Joker will never die, no matter how heinous he is, not really. So once it turned out that Jason was also super popular, what could DC do? He would shake things up too much if allowed to stay on course. Change his approach to vigilantism.
He was always a bad Robin - he was violent and petty and dangerous and he and Bruce never jived in the first place. And, most importantly, he has to be wrong. He has to be unreasonable. He needs to be the screwup that needs to be sanitised, put in his place, and come crawling back to Bruce so he can be safely assimilated into the family. Jason is no longer a mirror forcing Bruce to think and develop and grow. As with just about all things related to long-running media franchises, fans tend to select certain pieces of canon as "true" and ignore the rest.
To this end, some fans assemble reading recommendation guides based on their preferences. Commenting on the direction and utilization of Jason Todd in the Batman: Battle for the Cowl storyline, writer and artist Tony Daniel has stated that, from this point on, Jason is a bona fide villain: [6] [7].
Debate over the Batfamily's no-kill policy may elaborate into deep discussions of real-world ethics e. Many feel that turning Red Hood into an amoral villain is a cop-out for the potential of an antiheroic character with legitimate criticisms and personal grievances about Batman's methods. Some fans feel that Jason's villainous actions in Post- Crisis should be addressed, necessitating that he either redeems himself or accepts his bad guy role.
Others feel that the evil villain storylines were OOC in the first place, and should be ignored. Some fans feel that Jason should be redeemed and see that Batman's murder-shunning ideals are correct. Others feel that Jason killing rapists and Nazis is heroic. Even many fans who want an eventual Batfamily reconciliation agree that the rift between Jason and the Batfamily could use some thorough addressing. Probably because he tried to kill everybody. Just a guess. He's the black sheep of the family and crosses lines that the rest of them can't.
Why can't some writers just get that through their skulls? Even Lobdell, bad as he was, still knew enough about the character to portray how at odds he is with Bruce and the Bat family. I hate it when they bring him along for these rides where he doesn't do anything important but temporarily forgets what makes him Jason in the first place. Why tf should he be buddy buddy with the rest of the bat clan??? As with the fanon versions of other Batfamily members, Jason tends to refer to his family by nicknames—in his case, sometimes exclusively.
In addition to the usual fanon nicknames commonly used by all members of the Batfamily, Jason tends to use some unique ones: Bruce is "old man" as supported by canon ; Dick is Goldie short for "golden child" , Dickface, and Dickhead; Tim is Replacement; Stephanie is Blondie; and Talia is T. Nicknames for Jason—including Jay, Little Wing exclusively by Dick , and Jaybird universal in fanon, exclusively by Roy in canon —tend to have more of a canon basis, though they're also used much more frequently in fan works than in canon; in fanon, Bruce sometimes calls him Jaylad.
Jason rejoining the Batfamily, often in the form of a " reconciliation fic", is a standard fan fiction plot. They hash things out, redress old grievances, and draw up new boundaries for their behavior going forward.
Alternatively, many Batfamily fan works take place in a standard nebulous continuity in which the entire Wayne household is already comfortably established as one big happy family , without delving into how they came to be that way in the first place. Comparisons may be drawn to the established Domestic Avengers teamfics popular in the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom. These fan works often give the impression that Jason incrementally transitioned back into the family through sustained amicable behavior and unspoken mutual agreement, rather than through a direct armistice as would usually be found in a focused reconciliation fic.
Jason is simply the wacky, rebellious second-oldest big brother, and his family members treat him as though he always has been. Also popular are the plentiful and varied canon divergence AUs in which Jason, as Red Hood or otherwise, reveals himself as alive to his family under different circumstances than in canon , often making use of secret identity tension.
This is in contrast with the commonly referenced Post- Crisis continuity canon, in which Jason is at least six years younger than Dick, who outgrew the Robin mantle and became Nightwing, while Tim is around 2 years younger than Jason, who died during his stint as Robin.
As a side effect of the Lazarus Pit, during periods of stress Jason suffers from " Pit madness ", which causes green-tinted vision, all-consuming violent rage, terrifying nightmares, and intense headaches.
On the other hand, he may have gained certain physical advantages, such as enhanced strength, erasure of all scars and childhood malnutrition, and accelerated and regenerative healing, sometimes to the point of nigh-immortality and eternal youth. He also often gets a streak of snow-white hair and glowing green eyes.
Jason is academically high-achieving and a literature aficionado. Texts Used For full annotated bibliography click here.

For some background, once DC felt that it was time to upgrade Dick Grayson from Robin to his own character Nightwing they still felt that Batman still needed a Robin so they created Jason Todd. More TV News ». More FS Entertainment News ».
