You've all seen this pic.

We know that Robin is Jason Todd.

But do you think he will have a role in the show if so then what?

Write your theory below. I hope we see him as red hood and if he's in it they got to get JENSEN ACKLES to voice him because he was amazing.

I don't think we will see anything this season. Jason's motivations would not work with the Light. His vendetta is against Batman and Tim, also Nightwing to a lesser extent. I would LOVE to see Jensen come back and voice him. UTRH is the best DC animated movie by far.

By showing Jason there they have set up all the necessary building blocks to bring in Red Hood, however the show has too large a plot this season to use 1-2 episodes focusing on the return of Jason. Especially when Artemis is not truly gone, and we have seen flashes of Tula. Somebody has to "hold down the fort" of fallen sidekicks, so to speak.

Exactly! I want them to do Jason, but I want them to do it well. The roster is already big (we're still getting to know everyone). I'll happy wait another season or two if it means were get a really good episode out of it.

Right now I kinda want him to be referenced here and there (that little line NW had to Tim early on was exactly how it should be handled for now), maybe have some hints of him starting trouble at the end of the season (assuming he becomes more important in season 3).

Funny how Jason Todd didn't last long as a Robin. It's only been fives years since the end of season 1 and beginning of season 2. So I'm guessing he last a year or two at most. 
 
Makes sense though. An arrogant cocky little snot like Jason Todd wouldn't last long doing the stuff Batman does.

He died after walking into a trap to save his mother from the Joker. She betrayed him and watched him get beat to near death. Then the Joker tied her up and trapped her and Jason in a building with explosives set to blow. Jason got up, despite being grievously injured and untied her before collapsing. Building went ka-boom, end of story. He didn't die as an arrogant, cocky little snot, Jason died as a hero.

I don't see him doing much in S2. Especially considering Bruce is off Earth.

A hero in the new 52, but in the comic continuity before this....he was a cocky little snot who thought he could take on The Joker alone, and got beaten with a crowbar and blown up because of it.

He is an anti-hero. My previous reply was his pre-52 manner of death. Which was comic continuity.

Um Jason Todd is dead judging by the pic

Jason dies and comes back in his origin to become the red hood.

The mistake people are making is that's NOT Jason Todd, that's Tim Drake's backstory they're memorializing.

@TheCrowbar: That wasn't Tim Drake's backstory, That pic was a memorial of the dead heroes.

@Jnr6Lil: @cattlebattle: I was making a joke about the death of Tim Drake backstory in the New52. That the Robin hologram was a memorial to the now defunct previous origin of Tim Drake.

@TheCrowbar: Oh

The way Tim was looking at his hologram with that whole predecessor/mentor conversation in the background... it's not the last time we're hearing Jason's name...

@X9: Wasn't that Beetle.

Jason and Arsenal are going to Team-up for sure. them vs Red arrow and Nightwing. It's gonna be epic

@Jnr6Lil said:

@X9: Wasn't that Beetle.

No, it was Tim, while Beetle and Bart were talking :)

At least Tim is gonna tell somebody how he feels about replacing Jason and so on...

@X9: I don't remember any convo with Tim talking.

@Jnr6Lil said:

@X9: I don't remember any convo with Tim talking.

He didn't talk, he kept staring at Jason's hologram the whole time Beetle and Impulse were talking

I know its Artemis and Ted Kord, so thats Jason Todd right? and whos the fourth hero

@DarkKnightDetective: oh thanks

I agree. The story is too big right now and Todd wouldn't really fit with the plotline UNLESS: they do something where the Light or the Reach mess with his body and reanimate him in that manner.

@X9: Exactly

@vernierhawk001:
That COULD work...although it wouldn't go completly with Jason's history. I guess since the show is set on Earth 16 (correct me on that if I'm wrong), a little artistic license would be okay. Plus, I REALLY would like to see Jason make an appearance, if not become a regular...and it would also be really cool to see how his reappearance would play out with the Bat Family, especially if Batman is gone while he appears...I can see some interesting prospects coming on. Very whelming...I hope he comes soon.

It would be interesting, perhaps, but, like I said, I think it would take away from the main storyline too much. Jason Todd brings so much drama into anything (especially with his cult-following) that we would have a rehashing of Under the Red Hood and all focus on the Light and the larger Invasion plotline would be thrown to the wind. lol. Lokk at how much buzz was genereated over like a 30 second shot of him....and he wasn't even talking!

If you haven't checked out this other thread regarding Jason/Red Hood in Young Justice it answers the question for now at least

Totally!!!!

As the voice for Batman seems to be the same, I like to believe that Under The Red Hood is in the same universe

They could remove Jason, but they didn't, the creators still made Jason's hologram and this foreshadows that we might see The Red Hood soon.

@Avenging-X-Bolt: Every one of the holograms has his role to play.

Tula changed Aqualad, maybe he didn't change the side but he still isn't full on the Team's side.

Artemis, well atremis is alive and she still take a big part in the story of the Team.

Ted Kord is the previous Blue Beetle, Jaime looks up to him, and regrets not having a mentor, Ted influences Jaime to be who he is.

And Jason hologram cant be just standing there.

I was SO excited when I saw Jason Todd! I would love it is he came back (as he did in the comics) and him and the original Roy Harper (not Arsenal) and become the angry duo on YJ.
