Presuming Jon’s opinions have not changed I’d like to pick up the cowl and play Jason Todd during his debut Robin year and his first “big” case with Batman. His street knowledge, guile, and dirty fighting would be an asset to the story and I still want to play a loud-mouthed arrogant punk. I’d like to get the chance to write it. Presuming me and Jon go through the story I’d also like to forge out ideas of what Jason Todd became of in this universe— how did he become the Red Hood?, did the Joker kill him like in accepted canon or did that never happen?, and so forth. In Absolute Comics, Jason could become something very interesting if you would allow it. I know I already applied for two arcs; but I assure you this based on my pride and honor that this Jason will still be active as much like Vicki Vale he will be part of the ongoing Batman arc from the onset. This isn’t overextension.

[hider=Backstory]For his whole life Jason Todd has been at the bottom, looking up at the towers of Gotham’s elite wondering what life could be like up there. Born into the infamous Red Hood Gang— a street gang located in one of the worst neighborhoods of Gotham where poverty and unemployment scoured the streets, corruption lined the pockets of the police, and violent wars based on narcotics were everyday life. Jason Todd’s father was Willis “Red” Todd, a former boxer from the streets of Gotham’s inner city who had minor acclaim in his youth but turned to crime following crippling debt. Years before Jason’s birth Todd had turned what was a meek motorcycle gang into a streetwise organization that oddly served as the protectors of the poorest people of Gotham. However, the Red Hood Gang was still a street gang; they dealt drugs, robbed those unaligned with them, and did what they wanted when they wanted. The press called them “anarchists” and “thugs” while the larger organized crime outfits of the city didn’t bother with them since their neighborhoods weren’t their larger concern at the time, especially following Batman’s debut in Gotham. But to Jason Todd they were not anarchists or thugs, they were his friends and family who did what they could with what they had to make sure people felt safe. But good things never last. Not in Gotham. The larger organized crime outfits began to collapse around the crusade of the Batman and the smaller gangs that controlled the streets of the inner city became more vicious and cunning. These gangs began scoping up Red Hood territory hoping to capitalize on Gotham’s fear of this “force of nature” that was responsible for a changing of power. Because they knew with the fall of The Roman Empire that Gotham would be thrown into chaos and others would fill the power vacuum as soon as it was an option to. Eventually, a firefight at Ace Chemicals would show the end of the Red Hood Gang as it was; Willis Todd never came home and another lieutenant of the gang took charge in his absence. But it wouldn't help. The pieces were already in place for the gang to lose their identity, their control of The Narrows, and their existence. The gang afterward fell into shambles in what felt like seconds. And then there was nothing. Orphaned and bitter, Jason wandered the streets of The Narrows doing what he could to survive and generally get into trouble. He was ten years old and he had lost everything he had ever known, all due to shitty circumstances and superstitions. In time he crossed paths with Batman and everything else was history.[/hider] [hider=Timeline][color=a52a2a][b]◼ 2007:[/b][/color] The Red Hood Gang collapses following the death of their leader, Willis Todd.
