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.
I really started to smile towards the end of this interview and for some reason, the idea Jason believes had it been Dick who Joker killed, Bruce would've sent him off to hell interests me. Maybe just because I always enjoyed the Batman pushed too far in JLA The Nail. The potential dialogue interests me. I do suppose it's making an omelet out of the eggs with Bruce's holo message in BFTC and skirting the 4th wall in BnR. I do wonder how Winick will pull it off without seeming whiny.
It's ironic really. Winick has a lot of fans that dislike him...and so does Jason, and yet together they work quite well. Moreover, you have Winick being your big hippie liberal [I say that with affection] finding his niche with a guy who decapitates criminals.
I think that BnR will be a book where writers and artists rotate on it. It seems to be what they keep doing with the book. It would surprise me if Tomasi came back to it for longer than a three issue arc before they changed it again.
