Jason Todd is a vigilante who was the sidekick of Batman known as Robin, preceding Tim Drake and later Damian Wayne, until he was killed by Joker sometime during Batman's earlier years but was at some point resurrected taking up the identity of the Red Hood.
Biography[]
Background[]
Jason Todd was found by Batman and was groomed to become the vigilante Robin after Dick Grayson put down the mantle. After a period of time, however, Jason was killed by The Joker and was eventually replaced by Batman's third Robin, Tim Drake, as his successor.
Season 2[]
He is first mentioned by Joker in the episode "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues" when he taunts Batman and attempts to beat Him up to get him to reveal the location of his planted bomb.
Season 3[]
In "The 83rd Annual Villy Awards," his death is referenced as part of Joker's performance as host of the 83rd Annual Villy Awards, where an actor portrayed Jason Todd, beaten up and bloodied in an alleyway with Joker standing over him holding a crowbar. Joker then got an alert, making him realize he was late for the awards ceremony. After that, music started playing, and "Jason Todd" began dancing in the background.
Season 4[]
In "Gotham's Hottest Hotties," Jason's picture is briefly seen when Harley is going through the contacts on her phone, and "Red Hood" is amongst them. This seemingly confirms that Jason has been resurrected and assumed the identity of Red Hood, implying that he is considered a villain in this continuity.
Season 5[]
In "Big Pasta Dinner," Jason's portrait is hung in Bruce's dining room.
In "Bottle Episode," Jason's damaged Robin suit is seen in the Batcave.
Trivia[]
- Jason's design greatly resembles Tim Drake as he appears in The New Batman Adventures. This version of Tim is based heavily on Jason, who shares the same backstory. His career as Robin ends with a violent confrontation with the Joker.
