Jason wasn’t from a loving home he was a kid who grew up on the harshest part of the city. Nu!Jason Todd is a gunslinger (a Batman no-no) who has no problem taking that next step to end a criminal permanently that Batman is unwilling to take. However, even now that he has been resurrected via the Lazarus pit as Red Hood, there has been a lot of contention about his character. While it’s an urban legend that Jason Todd was so disliked that people overwhelmingly called in to kill him off, the vote in the very real phone poll held by DC was actually really close, and he was only killed off by 72 votes (every vote matters, kids) at 5,343 for, 5,271 against. For around twenty years, Jason Todd was one of the characters in comics who stayed dead, along with Bucky Barnes, Gwen Stacey, and Uncle Ben, and … well, we have seen how that goes. Jason and his mother were killed in the blast. Once Jason was there, Joker beat Jason nearly to death with a crowbar before rigging the building to explode. Jason was then tricked by the Joker into meeting his biological mother. That made Bruce remove Jason from his Robin duties.
