DC reveals shocking fates for The Batman and Red Hood
By Mark Lynch
Of course it’s Batman
Each member of the Bat-Family excels in something the others don’t. Tim Drake is a genius creator, Barbara Gordon is the information specialist, Harley Quinn has her randomness and Dick Grayson is the one that seems to keep them together. Then there’s Jason Todd. He’s the one in the family that everyone looks down on. His return as the Red Hood and his attempts to kill them certainly didn’t help with that. However, they may have given up on him but Bruce never did. Bruce always trusted Jason even when he frustrated him. This is why Bruce would undoubtedly go to him for a big mission like this.
Jason doesn’t have an issue being the one that everyone hates, especially when it’s for a good cause. Jason may seem like he hates Bruce, but he loves and believes in him. Of course, they argue over Jason’s reckless killing, but that’s really where the disagreeing stops. In this new time, Bruce would need Jason. He’s the only member of the Bat-Family that would believably turn on them.
Then again, maybe it’s Nightwing that has reached out to Jason. Their brotherly relationship is deeper than people might realize. Since Dick Grayson (Nightwing) seems to be the one in charge of the operation now, it could be him. That said, it’s most likely Bruce. The comment, “The sun is out. You better go to bed” does scream Batman. We’ll have to wait and see who it is.
