I think there is probably a 50/50 chance.
But for the record, I would love to see him in a movie or TV show.
EDIT: Can be either Jason as Robin or Red Hood.

@the_caped_crusader: Why is that?
@regiebravo: Under the Hood.
Adapt the Under the Redhood Storyline for christsake its one of the best storyline with Jason that is the only way they can introduce Dick and Jason at the same time!
They already made Winter Soldier.
What do you mean by that?

The whole "hero's sidekick is killed and remains dead as part of a respected turning point in the continuity (and defining character moment for the hero) for years before returning as an edgy, gun-toting adversary to the hero whose identity, while unknown, is quickly deduced to the horror of his former mentor" thing.

True. Though, Jason is a very important character (at least in my opinion) in the grand scheme of Batman mythology. And they would be missing out on some great stories if they decide to not do it. But I see where you're coming from.

There are two kinds of Batman villains: the kind that caused Batman to exist, and the kind that Batman caused to exist. Jason Todd is most certainly the latter, a ghost from the past that forces him to face his mistakes and the overall shortcomings of his crusade, in a way that only a former protege could. He's a very retrospective villain this way, in fact he can be seen as Batman's final villain. The first time he was used as a villain was not in the 2000's under Judd Winick, but in the pages of The Dark Knight Strikes Again, where he is built up as an aging Bruce Wayne's mortal nemesis.
1. Jason's not a Batman villian. Never truly was.
2. The Red Hood is a better character than The Winter Soldier.

I don't see it.... Then again I never thought I would ever see this dude in a movie....... So who knows.

1. He was a villain until Batman found out who he was. He gets special treatment just like Catwoman.
2. How so?

Still the best casting choice ever.
@darthmummy: that's a ridiculous way of looking at things. When Winich brought him back he wrote him as his own character. Not a batman villain.
If Red Hood is a batman villain "with special treatment", then people like Slade and Deadshot are Batman villains as well.
@allstarsuperman: Winick brought Red Hood back in Gotham City in the pages of Batman, where he slaughtered dozens of Black Mask's thugs and came to blows with several of Batman's allies, including stabbing Onyx through the shoulder. Later on, he beats the snot out of Tim and stabs him with a batarang in two separate encounters. He wasn't his own character because he was defined by his revenge quests against Batman, the Robins, and Joker. Slade and Deadshot aren't pure Batman villains because they're freelancing, opportunistic, mobile assassins. Jason Todd has that connection to Bruce Wayne that's only rivaled by other Batman villains like Joker, Hugo Strange and Hush.
@sinntek1: That movie did the impossible.... It made Baroc the Leaper, Falcon, and Arnim Zola cool.....

I don't know, I always thought Baroc was cool lol.

And Jason is an antihero, who wanted to teach Batman a lesson, and get revenge on the Joker. If he was a villain he would have killed both Batman and Joker before UtRH. He had the opportunity to do so in "The Lost Days".
Hell, I just don't understand where your coming from at all. Jason came back, killed Bruces enemy's. While trying to prove that killing is better and he was the better Batman.
@allstarsuperman: Trying to prove a point at the expense of human lives doesn't make you a hero, anti or otherwise. Plenty of villains leave their enemies alive in order to do so. The Joker is famous for this.
I just want a live action Atrocitus.
OH MY GOD YES!
@darthmummy: well actually anti hero = bad deeds good intentions

Have a Red Lantern movie with Dex Starr.
Hopefully not.
@darthmummy: well actually anti hero = bad deeds good intentions
Not in the classical sense, but I see what you mean. Still, Todd's intentions were death and destruction, with a side of brutalizing the sidekicks who replaced him because he could. Not all that good.
Hopefully not.
Why? He could be an excellent final villain for a Batman saga. The filmmakers could take elements from the canon and TDKSA,a nd add some of their own. Maybe Todd could be like Frankenstein's monster, brought back to life by Hugo Strange or something, and just as the monster killed himself with a funeral pyre, he could burn Arkham Asylum down, killing himself and all the rogues, simultaneously ending his suffering and doing what he knew Batman would never do. The last action scene could be Bruce trying to fight his way out through zombie Jason, who intends to bury Batman as well.
