The Future Of Jason Todd, The Red Hood (Bigger Batman #148 Spoilers)

The Future of Jason Todd, the Red Hood at DC Comics going forward in the Batman comic books. With bigger Batman #148 spoilers.



Article Summary

  • Jason Todd's Red Hood meets a questionable fate in Batman #146 by Zdarsky and Jimenez.
  • Zur-En-Arrh Batman's actions trigger a Failsafe, questioning Batman's extreme measures.
  • Lazarus Pits scarcity is hinted, but Batman's contingency plans could surprise us all.
  • Batman #148 teases an epic showdown that could change Gotham's future forever.

It is possible that yesterday on Bleeding Cool, we may have posted some teensy tiny spoilers about tomorrow's Batman #148 by Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimenez. That may have suggested that, in the heat of battle with the Zur-En-Arrh Batman, Jason Todd, the Red Hood comes to a sticky end.

Stuff

And we can confirm that yes, indeed, that happens.

Stuff

Leaving Jason Todd's corpse staring skywards in a haunting fashion. Given that Zur-En-Arrh's relationship with Daniel Capito and the Joker basically means that this is the second time the Clown of Crime has killed Jason Todd, albeit it indirectly this time. And Lazarus Pits are a lot harder to come by these days, post Lazarus Planet.

Stuff

But it was enough for Failsafe's own programming to trigger. Built by Bruce Wayne's backup personality, Zur-En-Arrh to take down Batman if he ever went too far and killed someone, and now does the same to the personality inhabiting it. Which happens now to be Zur-En-Arrh. Bat-irony. Anyway, yes, the internet exploded a little. Because this play was all Batman's plan. Something even Daniel Capito is impressed by. Maybe we should turn the page and see… even more spoilers!!! Be warned!!!

Stuff

Of course, this is Batman. And he always has a plan. Such as juice from that Lazarus meteor that hit Gotham during the events of the Batman/Catwoman Gotham War.

Stuff

And Jason Todd volunteered. After all, he has been there, done that, worn the bandages.

Stuff

Oh, come on, did you really think they were going to get rid of a Robin that easily? Pish posh.
