Jason Todd was Batman’s second Robin, and in the famous A Death in the Family storyline, the Joker beat him nearly to death and left him in an explosion; DC later brought him back to life, and he became the Red Hood, an antihero with a much darker edge.

Quick scoop

  • What happened: He was killed by the Joker in the original comic storyline.
  • What came next: DC resurrected him years later in Under the Hood.
  • Who he is now: He’s usually portrayed as Red Hood , sometimes working with the Batman family but often clashing with Batman’s no-killing rule.
