#Red hood: Outlaw

[striveattemptfail]

in prime earth canon, jason todd (NOT red hood) was* publicly known to be alive

red hood: outlaw (2018) #32 (ID in alt text)

considering that jason todd was the official owner of the iceberg lounge during this time, it's likely he acquired the lounge legally and thus can be inferred that he had to be declared legally alive to do so

which brings me to my point:

i've seen a lot of people writing/speculating the difficulties and limitations jason experiences bc he was declared legally dead after ethiopia, which is all well and good, and is fantastic fodder for angst

but i've been wondering if this was bc people are actively ignoring canon (valid) or simply didn't know that at one point* jason was publicly alive (also valid, bc following comics is a shitshow lol)

please reblog to increase visibility! the whole point of this poll is to gauge how many people know this, so i'd love to see this post reach as many people as possible. thank you~! 😅🙏

(* big disclaimer under the cut!)

note: all of this info is as of may 2023. i am only one human so it's impossible for me to read every comic jason has been in since rhato (2016) and remember every single thing that happened. if anything i said above the cut is incorrect now, i apologize! /o\

for reference, as of creating this poll i've read:

red hood and the outlaws (2016) #1-26

red hood: outlaw (2018) #27-52

task force z (2021) #1-12

batman: urban legends (2021) #1-6 – cheer pt.1-6

the joker: the man who stopped laughing (2022) #3-5

i haven't read a lot of other important runs like death metal (2020), three jokers (2020), robins (2021), etc. if jason (NOT red hood) was declared dead once again in any of those, that is the reason why i used "was" in the very first sentence of this post and reiterate that he was alive at least for a limited period

my bad that i missed his second legal death tho LOLLL

i'm also aware that red hood (NOT jason) was known as "dead" by others after task force z (even though he clearly didn't die). that said, in the little i've read of tj:tmwsl, it seems that 1) not everyone knows red hood is actually alive, and/or that 2) red hood died at all. again, if red hood is generally known to be alive after tfz, that's on me

if there's anything else i've missed, let me know!! i'll update/reblog this post for as long as the poll is up (-u-)b

Again, I like Roy and Jason together (there are technicalities here I have FEELINGS ABOUT IT) but I miss Roy and dick 😭😭😭

I absolutely hate what dc did to Roy to make him Jason’s foil like :( bruh Roy was an entire government agent he worked for the government he was part of the titans he is so much more than Jason could DREAM to be and this series and being Jason’s partner reduced him to that!! He’s now Jason’s partner and that’s all he can ever be, thanks dc

Red Hood: Outlaw #27

[logangarfield]

I got some comics for my birthday 😭

Family tradition 🥰🥰🥰

Fuck you Batman

I think it’s funny to think that whenever Jason shows up to ANYTHING with a duffle bag the batfamily and co think there could be decapitated heads inside:

Dick: whatcha got there Jason?

Jason: my luggage for the mission??

Dick:

Jason:

Dick:

Jason: HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU GUYS THERE AREN’T HEADS IN HERE

Dick: THERES ALWAYS THE POSSIBILITY

Jason: I HAVEN’T KILLED ANYONE IN MONTHS

Dick: THAT WE KNOW OF

I imagine that then the Justice League becomes weary of Jason with duffle bags due to the bats. So the outlaws could be helping with a mission and:

Superman: Hood if it’s alright we’d like to search your bag?

Red Hood: there’s just my gear inside

Superman: we just want to double check it is your gear…

Red Hood:

Red Hood: not you guys too

Red Hood: THERE AREN’T ANY DECAPITATED HEADS INSIDE

Arsenal: at this point you should just put heads in there.

Red Hood: I’m not trying to get back on the Justice Leagues Wanted list Roy

[oldmannapping]

Jason Todd’s mother: Addict, single mother, raised the child of a violent henchman, died of an overdose

Jason Todd’s best friend: Recovered addict, single father, raising the child of an assassin, rescued from death by Red Hood

DC: yep. Wild.

DC: anyway!

DC: onto the next Red Hood storyline

DC: (incoherent shrieking)

[incorrectbatfam]

Roy: I'm kind of crushing on someone, but I’m worried about telling you who it is because you’re not going to like it.

Dick: Just rip the bandage off.

Roy: It’s Jason.

Dick: Put the bandage back on.

meant to post this yesterday (august 16) for his birthday. oops

[merletka]

I'm making Jason a cat dad... sorry not sorry

This was inspired by a little fic of Jason finding a stray kitten outside bar. He eventually gives him to Damian and he names him Roy 🥹

ALMOST DONE JASONS!!

Sorry I didn’t post yesterday <3

@ DC:

Everyday I wake up and pray DC will fix the mistakes made by the New-52

[goldentemplariumcrow]

Is it just me or the webcomic Red Hood: Outlaw kind of went completely off the rails and ended in an all-time low point that makes no sense to any of the many plots that were presented along the comic?

Not to critique the webcomic, the art is great, loved the little explorations of some of the DC lore (shout-out to Jay's Pit-tattoos), and I enjoyed the sort of monster of the week month approach with the stories, but... what happened to the plot? And what was the ending that has absolutely nothing to do with any of what was presented to us along the story?

I need someone to explain to me the whole lot of this final chapter, because I gonna be honest here: I have not a single clue of where it connects with the whole rest of many stories and plots of the webcomic in a meaningful way.

I get it's to show that Jason and Artemis are doing things their own way, but that's something that's been stabilished in the first few chapters and re-inforced over the story. To end the webcomic with Dick and Babs marrying (which was never even mentioned in the rest of the webcomic), and Artemis revealing that she has a daughter, sounds more like this ending wants to tease other upcoming webcomics than an actual ending to the actual story of Red Hood: Outlaws.

So... yeah, I need some help wrapping my head around this finale.
