Writer Judd Winick and artist Pablo Raimondi hope to answer that question in June, with the debut of RED HOOD: THE LOST DAYS, a six-issue mini-series revealing the untold story of the man behind the Red Hood. It’s the tale of an angry young man’s transformation into a deadly villain.

 “I’m thrilled to return to this character, and it’s both a joy and challenge to tackle this new story. LOST DAYS tracks the time from the Red Hood’s rebirth to his return to Gotham. In it, we get to understand this anti-hero in a new way. I think it explains both how he’s sympathetic, and an unrepentant monster. He’s a wonderfully complex character, and I hope this adds some even greater depth to his mythology.”

 this looks awesome :O !! and I can't wait for under the hood to come out !!

I'm guessing that he had a bat tool to steal the wheels off the bat mobile. This is going to be good

you just can't keep that little bastard down can you?

omg! I love me some Jason Todd !!! 
I am so getting this! 

You can't keep a "good" anti-hero down!

i hope winick has a good explanation about the jason todd's natural hair color being red and he just dyed it black to placate bruce. that's one of the more stupid retcons i've ever heard.

looks pretty sweet...  
 

Why can't they give Jason a look for more than a year? It just takes away from the character.

I really enjoyed Under the Hood by Winick and i believe he also wrote the GA issues with him, which again were really good. Everything else with Red Hood in has been pretty sub-par so Winick's return to the character is very welcome to me. And he's back in the one costume that suited him as well. Will be reading this.

While I can't wait for a Red hood series, I do hope it's under the current continuity, and not a flashblack series, but if judd wants to ignore grant morrison's current blend between Earth 1 and 2 Jason i.e. the ridiculous red hair I'll do a little rejoicing.

w00t

Definately looking forward to this

Love the design for the character - will get this for sure.

That was Pre-Crisis Jason Todd who was in the Circus that was a red-head. When he was re-introduced in Batman in the issue where Batman and Jason Todd first met--this time he was a thief who boosted cars for tires, he did not have red hair, he had black.
 
I don't think Morrison would make an error like that and this is a retcon of post-Crisis Jason Todd having red hair.

" @iLLituracy:   Thanks... but could u summaries What Post and Pre Crisis is...  and can i jus get this straight  Todd was a Ginger... and people voted him to be killed of... He was Re-Introduce/Re-Invented to not be a Ginger... Right? "

I'd like to check this out. I love that statue. 
 
@Tyler Starke sounds like he might be right, though it might be retconner, not rectoner.

This is great news. Jason Todd is one of my favorite DC characters.

Swwwweeeettt

looks like he picked up a heroin addiction.

Jazzed!  While I appreciated Grant's creating pathos with the red head thing, and really didn't mind the characterization in that arc, I'm glad to see the more "superheroic Punisher" take on the Red Hood from Winick's first use of him.  The back and forth with Black Mask was the stuff that dreams are made of...

@SuperXAsh:  Dead on!  Easily the worst thing about Battle for the Cowl.
