    Jason Todd

    Character » Jason Todd appears in 1742 issues.

    Jason Todd was the second Robin, until he was brutally murdered by the Joker. After he was resurrected, Jason learned Batman didn't avenge his death. Anguished and seeking vengeance, he initially turned against his mentor and father figure and took on the Clown Prince's former identity: the Red Hood. He eventually returned to the Bat-Family and assembled a team of anti-heroes known as the Outlaws.

    Did the batarang kill him?

    I am chronologically and canonically confused. Did Batman kill him when he sliced his neck with a a batarang?

    So, then what happened after Joker escaped? The last frame certainly let us believe Jason died again.

    He came back during OYL dressed as Nightwing, killing criminals in New York

    He later becomes a squid and leaves New York (I'm not making this up, Bruce Jones is really that stupid)

    He fights later with Brick Green Arrow and Batman

    Then he goes to countdown where he is in the series for almost all of the run

    he recently appeared in "Robin"

    In other words, they haven't actually explained what happened immediately afterwards.

    I don't think Batman would kill one of his sons in order to save the Joker's life.

    I'd flat-out call him a villain, a failure of one at that.

    Really? With an open wound in his neck?

    Also, the "next episode" frame shows Batman carrying his body around á la Death in the Family.
