It’s August 16th, meaning that it’s Jason Todd day!
As a way to celebrate, I’ve decided to officially make a hub thread for Jason Todd appreciation centered posts! Whether its favorite comic panels, fan art, Jason Todd news, or just the need for a post that qualifies for the #ItsLovinJasonToddHourPost tag, then here they are!
I’m considering this to be my DCUI home thread, so feel free to drop some appreciation here whenever, 'cause in my house we love and appreciate the 2nd Robin! And yes, we talk about Curran Walters too.
These first two are back when Covid first started, so at the time no announcements for Titans season 3 were made, and Curran had no idea where his character was headed:
And this one is not the full interview but a highlight from it, and this was about a week or so before Titans s3 premiered:
Speaking of which, I just realized that this mask was not shared in the Many Masks of Jason Todd Thread. I must fix that, I have a reputation to uphold.
Maybe it’s because we can see that even though he’s Red Hood it is still him under the mask, like a reminder that there is a person under there, at least that’s how I view it. It could also be a sign of some vulnerability that he has. Red Hood is a very strong character, but even his helmet has some weak spots if hit in the right place and with the right amount of force.
I really liked that they did that for his reveal in Titans too
Arkham Todd is so cool! Really interesting Learning what he was doing during asylum
What he was up too
“Jason broke free during Joker’s prison break at the asylum, but Joker had paid well to retain the services of Deathstroke to make sure that Jason didn’t leave the island alive. However, Jason managed to persuade Deathstroke that Joker wouldn’t fulfill his contract with the mercenary, but that he could triple his pay if they escaped together. Deathstroke accepted after he force-fed Jason a tracking device. They stole a helicopter to escape, then went to Wayne Tower, where Jason broke into one of Bruce’s bank accounts that was earmarked for Batman, by using information that he’d gleaned as Bruce’s ward, and transferred all of the money he promised to Deathstroke. Incidentally, Jason had his first encounter with Tim Drake during the break-in, who assumed that Jason (because he was wearing Deathstroke’s mask) was Slade’s sidekick.”
