No, Damian is the smartest Robin. He was performing complex surgeries and rebuilding the Batmobile when he was a 10 year old.

Damian is already the smartest, and when he grows up he'll be the strongest and fastest too. Genetically and surgically enhanced to be north of peak human.

It's not enough to be the -est in some skill attribute, not when there are dozens of other popular peak humans, and hundreds of metahuman and nonhumans who are far above a boring human. Steph and Jason are underdogs, sympathetic, with good senses of humor. Dick is handsome, friendly, popular. Damian is a likable rascal with a sweet side. Babs unequivocally dominates at tech. All of them have some big trauma to milk. And all of them are intelligent, they generally have the same well-rounded set of standard Bat skills and the same gadgets. Smartest isn't enough, the character needs to be likable and interesting. The audience needs to root for the guy. He can't have everything handed to him on a silver platter.

That's why we speak in ratio and not in numbers. Big two character has either that one good story/adaptation/era they can rely on or nothing at all. UTRH isn't even Jason's best story, it's just RH intorduction story. Jason as Robin is more interesting than RH. Lost Days is a better RH story than Utrh. AK is the better Utrh. Etc...

The theory that Jason is Red X isn't because the timeline makes sense, it's most likely popular because fans enjoy that buddy cop dynamic between good bro and bad bro.

None of that matters. Earth 2 has already been re-imagined in the past. Helena being a Robin is a Robinson concept. The point is to make Jason not only the first Robin, but to make him Dick's E2 counterpart. In turn, Helena would be Damian's E2 counterpart. Dick is the Robin that succeeded and went on to become a great hero in his own right. Jason is the one who failed and died for his troubles. They're mirrors. It's basically a "have your cake and eat it too" situation but smarter. Trimming the fat of the Batfamily to its bare essentials, and repurposing that fat to be put to greater use elsewhere. E1 Batfamily is filled with the more popular and iconic characters that the average person is more likely to know, while the E2 Batfamily are a homage to the OG Silver Age one with Batwoman and Bat-Girl. Those roles respectively filled by Kate and Steph. Steph would function as Babs' E2 counterpart in this case.

Bruce's first sidekick being the one to die is just a bad idea to keep Batman as a respectable character. It works for an AU like WK where Bruce is more flawed and shitty than a regular Batman should be. But that's all, as an alternate take. Plus having Jason's dynamic as being someone who knew of Batman and Robin as a recognized legend he wanted to be part of, but was cut down from , is a more interesting springboard to me. White Knight Jason is kind of weak to me in comparison. WK Jason regrets ever being Robin, regular Jason regrets being killed because being Robin gave him a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

Nothing of value changes its still Bruce asking Kal-L if Earth-2 Dick is better than New Earth Dick with the same answer "No". Nothing of value was lost or gained with the TPB changes.

The 2007 hardcover release has a bunch of added content with a bunch of additional, redrawn, recolored, and re-written pages. Batman's question was changed in the 2007 hardcover release to ask: “You said this earth corrupts everything. Is the Dick Grayson of my earth a corrupted version of yours?"

Bruce's first sidekick being the one to die is just a bad idea to keep Batman as a respectable character. It works for an AU like WK where Bruce is more flawed and shitty than a regular Batman should be. But that's all, as an alternate take. Plus having Jason's dynamic as being someone who knew of Batman and Robin as a recognized legend he wanted to be part of, but was cut down from , is a more interesting springboard to me. White Knight Jason is kind of weak to me in comparison. WK Jason regrets ever being Robin, regular Jason regrets being killed because being Robin gave him a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

Dick is the Robin who does outer space stuff. Back in the classic World's Finest adventures, and in his runs with the Teen Tirans. He has a strong personal connection with both Superman and Starfire. His best friend Donna Troy also tends to go on space adventures; she's also a big sister figure to Jason, but Tim doesn't have much of a dynamic with her.

Jason's best cosmic adventures was when he was part of a misfit team in the Challengers, but that was more multiversal than spacefaring.

Tim doesn't have any particular aptitude for space adventures. He works best with relatable humans, drawing on his background as a popular kid at school and a normal millionaire teen.

WK Red Hood is literally the protagonist from the Cobra Kai show. They copied his dialogue and personality and everything. Says a lot about DC that WK is relatively okay writing for the Batman family, compared to the crappy underwhelming stories for 99% of the DCU these days.

OG kid Jason actually didn't hold a ton of admiration for Batman and Robin, though he did warm up to Bruce really quickly after they met. In the classic lore, Batman just did some heroics here and there, but Gotham wasn't a complete cesspool that utterly depended on Batman 24/7 like the modern canon. As established by Denny O'Neil, Batman only forced himself to go to Crime Alley once per year, and he otherwise didn't work in that part of town.

Jason loved Bruce after Bruce showed him kindness, not because Jason was already a Batman fan. And Jason also started admiring Dick after personally meeting him, not based on reputation alone.

Stephanie Brown is the poor kid who grew up with Batman as her role model, because he locked up her abusive dad in jail.

To be fair, he didn't incite the mob war. Black Mask was already winning the mob war by the time Red Hood first showed up, he'd turned the entire Gotham underbelly into his private empire, hundreds were dead, a teenage girl was tortured to death for several days.

Red Hood toppled Black Mask, leaving Batman free to take a year-long vacation while Cassandra Cain started her crazy sexy bitch arc (RIP wasted potential). Red Hood is still a mass-murdering, drug dealer-protecting criminal, but he's better than the alternative.

Regardless, defending Red Hood is cringe. He declared himself a bad guy, he acted like a bad guy, he got treated like a bad guy. It doesn't matter if he's a lesser evil, it doesn't matter if he's harm reduction, he isn't a good guy. He's a villain.

Secret Six and what I've read of Suicide Squad are about a bunch of broken, nasty killers being put to better use than they'd find otherwise. They're evil, and they can't truly go straight, no matter how much they cry about how unfair the world is. They can fight fire with fire, but then every one of them deserves to be burned up themselves for what they've become. They don't belong with normal people anymore, and they don't deserve a drop of happiness after becoming monsters.

Thunderbolts is Marvel, totally different playing field. HQTAS is also edgy nonsense that lets villains girlboss around without any consequences. In most pulp, Red Hood would be a hero, even at his worst he has a lower kill count than Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Indiana Jones, etc. Red Hood is a good villain because he exists in a universe that calls him out for being a murderer.

Batman get too edgy and abuse his kids sometimes, but he can still smooth things over with them as long as they're still alive. You can't take back murdering someone--murder is clearly evil, and you can't fix it or balance it out. If bad guys get a pass for murdering, then that unfairly cheapens the morals of the good guys. There needs to be a line. If bad guys don't get punished and the good guys don't care about upholding morals, then there is no point to the superhero genre.

Batman get too edgy and abuse his kids sometimes, but he can still smooth things over with them as long as they're still alive. You can't take back murdering someone--murder is clearly evil, and you can't fix it or balance it out. If bad guys get a pass for murdering, then that unfairly cheapens the morals of the good guys. There needs to be a line. If bad guys don't get punished and the good guys don't care about upholding morals, then there is no point to the superhero genre.

Secret Six and what I've read of Suicide Squad are about a bunch of broken, nasty killers being put to better use than they'd find otherwise. They're evil, and they can't truly go straight, no matter how much they cry about how unfair the world is. They can fight fire with fire, but then every one of them deserves to be burned up themselves for what they've become. They don't belong with normal people anymore, and they don't deserve a drop of happiness after becoming monsters.

This is a number that Tynion pulled out of his ass. Despite popular belief, Jason never had a huge body count in the N52, with the only confirmed kills being the drug dealers from UTRH, the mercs he killed to rescue Roy and Suzie Su.

The rest of his kills were either aliens or magical beings

WK Red Hood is literally the protagonist from the Cobra Kai show. They copied his dialogue and personality and everything. Says a lot about DC that WK is relatively okay writing for the Batman family, compared to the crappy underwhelming stories for 99% of the DCU these days.

OG kid Jason actually didn't hold a ton of admiration for Batman and Robin, though he did warm up to Bruce really quickly after they met. In the classic lore, Batman just did some heroics here and there, but Gotham wasn't a complete cesspool that utterly depended on Batman 24/7 like the modern canon. As established by Denny O'Neil, Batman only forced himself to go to Crime Alley once per year, and he otherwise didn't work in that part of town.

Jason loved Bruce after Bruce showed him kindness, not because Jason was already a Batman fan. And Jason also started admiring Dick after personally meeting him, not based on reputation alone.

Stephanie Brown is the poor kid who grew up with Batman as her role model, because he locked up her abusive dad in jail.

Aliens and magical beings have feelings too. 82 seems reasonable looking at Winick. It's embarrassing when those two Lobdell devotees keep blaming everything that offends them on Tynion.

Aliens and mystical beings have always been a fair game as far as Batman is concerned.

The N52 deleted from Jason's past the entirety of Morrison's Red Hood and then the Street Runs Red arc where Jason poisoned the whole prison so yeah, that number is entirely on Tynion.

Hell, one of the things that some people always have criticized of Jason post Flashpoint is that he doesn't kill enough

Outlaws is a stupid nonsensical name, it deserves to be binned for that reason alone. I'm assuming Lobdell made up Outlaws so he could get credit and royalties for being the creator of Red Hood's team.

>>136755388
Martinbrough is continuing his own 2-issue arc set in Gotham, if that helps. That was Red Hood #51 and Red Hood #52, continuing the numbering of RHATO, but otherwise a soft reboot separate from Lobdell's RHATO.

Red Hood belongs in Gotham. He has history there, he belongs there, whether he's a villain or an ally.

It might be awkward for Williamson to bring back Red Devil, because Williamson ships Red Hood and Ravager, but Ravager and Red Devil had a brief romance.

I support Red Devil coming back. DC wants to force Jason to be closer to the other B-listers and A-listers, but the point of the character is that he never got a chance to make many friends, and the friends he did make were killed off as cannon fodder. It's more natural to have Jason team up with C-listers who could be more popular if they got a little push.

Similarly the New Teen Titans are frankly C-listers who got major popularity boosts by being on a team with Dick Grayson.
