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.
RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #2 Written by SCOTT LOBDELL Art and cover by KENNETH ROCAFORT and BLOND On sale OCTOBER 19 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T Red Hood is already globe-trotting in an effort to find the ancient assassins behind the slaughter of those who taught him some of his darkest skills... and if Roy and Kori are going to be of any help, well, they’ll just have to tag along – whether Jason wants them to or not!
To me it seems the relaunch robins, Dick and Jason atleast are getting some design rip offs from Batman Beyond, The red batsymbol for Jason and NW's new outfit has the dark redlines instead of blue.
Jesus Christ...it is a bat-symbol. WTF would Jason do that, if not for mockery...then WHY? And the plot clearly goes against the fact Jason killed most if not all of his "Teachers".
Kory looks ridiculous. Some armor would've been of use when Crux initially tries to kill her before they have sex in a message of tolerance.
Bat-Hood and Von Dutch got off easy. Now, what you want to do is purchase a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser now so when the Red Hood action figure from Mattel comes out. You can lightly scrub that joke off his chest.

I swear, Jason Todd fans are going to drive me crazy one of these days X-D !
And is nobody going to ask about that sweet-ass katana ?
I don't mind the bat symbol on his chest. I could tell from the beginning that it was a bat symbol. And it makes sense for him to use the bat symbol over anything else or new. Because lets face it, the red ghost from pac man symbol was just plain stupid. How do you instill fear in people when you are wearing something that ridiculous? And as for Roy's hat I'm not one for the hat but, if in the story there is an explanation that gives us why he is wearing it and it makes sense, then I'm ok with the hat too. And there is no way that Starfire's outfit needs any more clothes added to it. If that was the case then it wouldn't really be Starfire. It would be an imposter.
I also find it ironic in supposed a "Realistic Costume" reboot. He looks much more like Spider-man in a jacket now than his original costume, which was all street clothes. I mean it was literally jeans, a jacket, boots, and an under-armor shirt. Helmet aside, it was retail clothing.

Because they will try to make him part of the Batfamily, i knew it since the going crazy, red hair, using awesomly bad costume with a comdom head thing. Also Jason decide, that if he did not kill them, no one else will killl them, something like the Vegeta/Goku thing or Venom/Spiderman thing, if i dont killl them, no one else will.

You'd think the helmet would be enough marketing. Works for Lawton and Slade.
Lawton u se a symbol in his chest if i remember, Deathstroke is famous, he dont ecven need to use his mask, people know who Deathstroke is with or without his suits, he is that good. @RedHoodsDen saido:

I am the only guy that remember that Spiderman used the Ricochet costume, i always thinked this costume was awesome.
You're not making me feel better, lol. I'd rather see another homage on Jason's chest, small patch over his heart:
I liked Ricochet, also notice he use an R like Robin, hahaha... I hate he use Spandex he looks like batman beyond, i dont hate the Batsymbol, i hate is to damn big and that looks silly. Meaby even use a small bat with an R in the middle. Also i think that R would work better on the back of Jason, you know so people shot a the huge R and not to the face.
Yeah but honestly, we've seen his helmet take two shots from a high-powered sniper rifle and when it finally broke, and Jason basically had a headache. That helmet is sturdy stuff. Seems he's not too worried about a head shot. Bruce's cowl doesn't protect like that. The helmet literally turned Jason's weakness into a strength. He got his brains bashed in when he died, and his head is not only defensive but it can probably kill you if he head-butts you, and it's a freakin' bomb. That's why I sorta feel the chest logo could be muted, like a patch to play into the Robin angle and the muted biker hood look.

For the record, what the solicitation says doesn't really go against anything in Lost Days. Lost Days does show him killing some of his teachers, but it's also stated that he did NOT kill all of them. Talia makes a joke to him about how he seems to end up killing half the people she sends him to. Half. No, i don't think she did some precise calculation in her head when she said that, but the implication is clear. He didn't kill all of them. He didn't even kill most of them. He killed around half (really only the ones who particularly pissed him off in some way), leaving plenty out there to be targets of these assassins.
I don't mind the red bat symbol. It's definitely better than the lame skull. Not that I think he needs a symbol. The helmet serves that purpose well enough. But I do like to think the bat symbol is an in-character "screw you" to the Bat-family if he's going to wear it while still going against Batman's rules.

Yeah, but most of the time Jason need to have a face, faceless characters dont work that much, that why Spiderman mask and Deadpool mask have eyes that move, even when that makes no sense. The main problem today is that he is looking like Ricochet, but with a costume that looks worst, at least Ricochet was a cool version of Spiderman, Jason look like a mix of the worst things of Terminator, Deadpool, Batman Beyond and some others. And i will say it again, i hate the Brown Jacket. @Blurred View said:

The problem with that idea, is that he and Dick use a huge Red Logo, what means in some way is part of being part of the Batfamily or that Dick will decide to leave the Batfamily. Since i dont think the golden child will make anything to piss off his daddy, i keep with number 1.
