While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.
---
Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.
the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)
---
Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:
Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?
Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:
Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???
Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?
Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!
Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now
Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that
Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?
[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]
Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.
Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)
---
And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.

Headcanon Jason Todd is versed in like five different languages because he travels so much and he surprises his brothers and sister by that:
Jason, on the phone: Zasranets, ya skazal, v magazine na uglu! (Asshole, I said, at the corner store!)
Dick: Um, who are you-
Jason, still on the phone: Ryadom s gastronomom, a ne s Makdonal'dsom, u tebya yest' desyat' minut! (Near the grocery store, not McDonald's, you have ten minutes!)
Jason hangs up the phone.
Jason: Okay, we got ten minutes. Also can you not talk while I'm on the phone next time.
Dick Grayson: You... You speak Russian?
Jason: I learned it a few years ago.
Dick Grayson: What do you use it for?
Jason: To meet ... Friends from a far. So when three men enter this store, it's for totally legal reasons.
Dick Grayson: For my sake and yours, I'll pretend that's true.
...
Tim: Jason, Jason! I need to talk to you!
Jason, groaning: Anong gusto mo?!
Tim: Did you speak... Was that Filipino?
Jason: Shit my brain got confused for a second, I was talking to some... Friends about a... Meeting in a week and it's hard to switch back to English. Teaching yourself Filipino ain't easy, am I right? I asked you 'what do you want?'
Tim: I completely forgot, I'm low-key impressed.
...
Damien: Hallo, Todd hast du den neuen Film gesehen? (Hello Todd have you seen the new movie?)
Jason: Ja. (Yes)
Damien: War es gut? (Was it good?)
Jason: Mittelmäßig, das Ende zog sich hin. (Mediocre, the end dragged on.)
Damien nods and walks off.
Barbara: When did either of you learn German?
Jason: I learned it to travel to Germany to meet with a crime boss and shoot him in the brain. This was before I got better, not like last week or anything. Then I taught Damien.
Barbara: Oh, cool. I admire your honesty to me.
Jason: Yeah I respect you enough not to lie. That and you scare me.
Barbara: Habe es immer noch verstanden. (Still got it.)
