Did DC Comics Spoil The Fate Of Red Hood's Young New Ward?

The solicitation to Batman: Urban Legends #5 may have spoiled what may be coming in Batman: Urban Legends #4 for a certain Red Hood. The story by Chip Zdarsky and Eddy Barrows has seen Jason Todd kill a small-time drug dealer over his callous attitude to his son Tyler and the son's mother.
