10 comic book characters who deserve a Last Dance documentary

6. Jason Todd: The Forgotten One

When you hear the term “Bat-Family”, you immediately think of Batman, Dick Grayson, Batgirl, or Damian Wayne. Everyone forgets that Red Hood is a member… mostly because he rarely shows up when the team is called on.

It’s been said multiple times (by him) that he’s the black sheep of the Bat-Family tree. The funny thing about it is that he likes it like that. He doesn’t always agree with the way Batman does things, believing that sometimes, situations require a more lethal or aggressive touch. Batman hates the radical way Jason does things. Nonetheless, Jason still shows up to help Batman when the chips are really down.

Jason Todd had a turbulent life before and after he met Batman. He was raised  by a henchman who worked for Penguin and was thought to be dead. While living on the street, Batman found him trying to steal the hubcaps off the Batmobile. Batman was impressed by the boldness and trained him to be Robin. His time as Robin ended when the Joker captured him, beat him with a crowbar, and blew up the building Jason was in.

Though he was considered dead for a time, Jason eventually came back because reality was punched (seriously) and regained his memories via a dip in the Lazarus Pit. He became a villain taking on Joker’s original name, a hero, and is now helping the new generation of villains become heroes. If he doesn’t deserve a documentary, then who does?
