Jason Todd week comes to a close

We had fun didn't we? And no pics of him with RED HAIR.

Jason Todd Returns

Remember that time your favorite hero climbed out of his own grave? Didn't think so.

Batman and Robin and Red Hood

Jason and Damian should really hang out more.

Jason vs. Joker Round 2

Crowbars have become so prominent in comics it's insane... when is the Sledgehammer gonna become a go-to weapon?

Jason Todd Mees A Human Torch

Jason Todd, cooler than your favorite hero since 1983.

The Goddamn Gatman!

I'd love to see Jason run into Deadpool... especially with this epic costume.

Jason Todd Week Begins

 

Hey guys, I figured since I can do whatever I want here, why not do an awesome week based on my namesake, so Jason Todd Week is in full effect!

The Random Scan of the Week!

I love that Batman is looking at Jason like he's some sort of item at a store or something... "Hmm, do I want to buy this or not..."

See, this is why Jason Todd is awesome!

Nothing more needs to be said!

New Teen Titans #31(May 1987)

Oh man... Must... resist urge to make... bottom lotion joke...

Underworld Unleashed #2(Dec. 1995)

So what do we think, is Jason Todd more devastating to Batman dead or alive?

Batman #424(Oct. 1988)

Yeah, the writing was on the wall regarding Jason Todd's future(or lack there of)by this point... You know what the sad thing is? If Jason Todd would have been introduced just a few years later, during the kill-happy 1990's, he probably would have easily wound up surpassing Dick Grayson in popularity...

Batman #416(Feb. 1988)

Remember when I posted the pre-Crisis meeting between Dick Grayson and Jason Todd?(If you don't, here it is) Well, after the Crisis, DC decided to change up the first meeting between Dick and Jason, and the preceding scene is what happens during that meeting. In my humble opinion, had DC stuck with the original meeting, there wouldn't have been such a fan backlash against young Jason, and that means there's probably a good chance he wouldn't have suffered his grisly fate. I can't help but wonder how things could have been different had Dick accepted Jason as his replacement, instead of resenting him... So, am I right or wrong? What do you guys think?

Detective Comics #571(Feb. 1987)

Maybe it's just me and I'm reading too deeply into things, but MAN was I getting a weird vibe off of some of Batman's dialogue here...

New Teen Titans #20(May 1986)

This was sadly Jason's only time with the Teen Titans. Yet another missed opportunity if you ask me...

Batman #368(Feb. 1984)

Welcome to Jason Todd week, here at the always awesome Uncanny Comic Book Scans. Who is Jason Todd you ask? He was Batman's second Robin, a character who was never given a fair shake in the DCU during his short time as the Boy Wonder, and a character who is still being written terribly to this day.Wow, the original Tim Drake Robin outfit was actually pretty close to Jason's original costume...This was the first pre-Crisis appearance of Jason Todd as Robin. I kind of wonder if things would have been different if DC hadn't changed up his origin/how he became Robin and Dick Grayson's somewhat negative reaction to it post-Crisis...

Nightwing #120(July 2006)

You didn't think I'd do a Nightwing week without posting SOMETHING with Jason Todd in it, did you?

Batman: A Death in the Family TPB

Jeez, even by today's standards, Jason Todd's death was pretty vicious... That final scene with Bats and Jason's body is pretty powerful.Check out the quote by Denny O'Neil towards the bottom. Funny stuff!

Batman #368(Feb. 1984)
