Jason Todd is a character from DC Comics Batman storylines. The most popular retcon of his origins places him as a street kid that caught Batman's attention when he's interrupted in the middle of stealing the tires off the Batmobile. With Dick having fallen out with Bruce and becoming Nightwing, Bruce takes Jason in, and trains him to be the second Robin. However, life on the streets has given Jason his own sense of justice, and things eventually begin to sour, culminating when Bruce suspects Jason in the death of a man that Batman couldn't bring to justice due to diplomatic immunity.
On the outs with Bruce, Jason jumps at the chance to get out of Gotham when he discovers that Catherine Todd wasn't his biological mother, and seeks out the woman that gave birth to him, Sheila Haywood. Halfway across the world and without any back up, Jason ends up being sold out to the Joker. In the end, he ends up brutally beaten and left for dead in an abandoned warehouse set to explode, dying alone with Bruce just minutes away.
Through the events in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Jason is mysteriously resurrected, but the wounds he received at the Joker's hands leave him brain damaged and wandering Gotham aimlessly. When Talia Al Ghul intervenes, he's rescued and eventually healed via immersion in the Lazarus Pit, but then learns that in his absence, not only has Bruce replaced him as Robin, but that the Joker is still alive. Already unstable from his exposure to the Pit and furious at the betrayal, he vows to get his revenge and bring justice to Gotham his way, as the villain Red Hood.
ST. JIMMY GREEN DAY
It's the best feeling ever-- being Robin, being Bruce's partner.
Raised in the city
Under a halo of lights
The product of war
And fear that
We've been victimized
I'm the patron
Saint of the denial
With an angel face
And a taste for suicidal
FALLING ON YOU FOUR YEAR STRONG
He's Robin-- even if Bruce wants to fire him-- He can handle this!
I never did things by the book
If you don’t trust me then you’ll just have to take a look
I’ve got a different plan for me
Just wait around and you will see
I’m takin' on the world
I’m takin' on the world
DEVIL ON MY SHOULDER BILLY TALENT
Everything has gone wrong for him-- even death. He's kinda used to it.
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
UP FROM THE ASHES BURN HALO
He's the skeleton in the closet - too bad he's not inclined to stay there.
I won't give in
I'm not that easy
I'll live again
Keep on breathing
I'll bleed my last regrets
Sometimes you got to burn the past
To rise up from the ashes
REDEEMER MARILYN MANSON
His revenge drives him-- If they won't give him the Joker, well, he's got backup plans.
The hunger inside given to me
Makes me feel alive
Always out stalking prey
In the dark I hide
Feeling
Falling
Hating
Feel like I am fading, hating LIFE!
TWO WEEKS ALL THAT REMAINS
If he'd only listen, he'd see that Bruce never gave up on him.
I could see it as you turned to stone
Still clearly I can hear you say
Don't leave, don't give up on me
Two weeks you ran away
I remember don't lie to me
You couldn't see that it was not that way
Swear I never gave up on you
UNDERTAKER (RENHOLDERËR MIX) PUSCIFER
Not killing the Joker was one, the Replacement was two. Strike three is a batarang to the neck, and he'll never forgive Bruce. Never.
Thank you for
Makin' me
Feel like
I'm guilty
Makin' it
Easier to
Murder your sweet
Memory
WHAT IT'S LIKE EVERLAST
Daddy Bat and his pretty birds don't know Gotham like he does. This is HIS city.
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin.
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between.
THIS MEANS WAR NICKELBACK
The Bats only treat the symptoms, not the disease. Sometimes you've just got to know when to amputate.
Say anything you want
But talk will get you nowhere
The only thing you brought is psychological warfare
Well there’s no getting out
And now you got to wonder
Who will dig you out when you’re six feet under
DOWNLOAD eee. Jason is my favorite DCU character. I just wish there was more fanfic about him. :(
