    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.

    Is Jasons mother stil alive in the new 52?

    At the last page of the Zero issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws there is a woman crying at Jasons Grave, which looks like Catherine Todd.

    The same woman is shown several pages before at Jasons Funeral. So is she still alive in the new 52?

    Could be. Maybe Joker faked her death.

    I think that's actually Barbara Gordon and not his mother.

    @--essence--: But Barbara should iirc already be paralysed at this time.

    @aahz: hadn't thought of that, but I still think it could be her since their is no actual date to when she was paralysed in the new 52, unless I'm mistaken.

    @--essence--: It is said during Death of the Family that she was paralysed 4 years ago at the age of 17 (and before it was several times mentioned that she was paralysed for 3 years), and in my opinion this would mean that it happend when Dick was still Robin. Since he and Barbara are the same age now and I don't think he became Nightwing before he was 18.

    @aahz: that makes sense but I still don't see how it could be Jasons mother.

    From what I've heard, the red head at Jason's funeral is indeed Jason's mother. Lobdell original plans were to give him a sister but with the change of writer the plot was dropped.
