You know I love almost everything you bring to the table and I sincerely respect everything you say. However, there are a few things I vehemently disagree with you on and bringing Sasha/Scarlet to September is one of them. I think your idea for Scarlet is the best thing they could do with Scarlet if they brought her back. The irony of that situation and heartbreak that would bring Jason Todd would make great stories but I don't think the character belongs in Jason Todd's world at all. She was horrible in Morrison's Batman & Robin and served no purpose other than being a rival for Robin. The idea that Jason Todd would take her in as a sidekick makes no sense considering that he strongly believes children/teenagers lives shouldn't be put in danger because of what personally happened between him and Bruce. It also doesn't make sense that she could pretty much be on par with Robin within the few days or weeks after he picked her up from the hospital. The Batman can't even do that.
As Lobdell stated in his interviews he wanted redemption for Jason Todd. A good life, away from the ugliness in character both physically and personality wise that we've seen for almost the past six years: The in-sensitiveness and thoughtlessness in Brothers in Blood, the arrogance in Countdown/FC, the crazy irrational acts and thoughts in Battle for the Cowl and Morrison's B&R run, the disgust of sleeping with Talia, his father's beloved in Lost Days. Jason needs to stay away from all of that, I think the Flashpoint Priest version of Jason was implying he won't be so cynical and vile as writers portrayed him in the past but that is just pure speculation on my part. All in all, I just hope you don't wish Scarlet back in September RHD. I hope others on here feel as strongly as I do on everything I have mentioned.
