Jason todd bursts out of his gave- turns out schrodeginer was wrong, the cat can be both alive and dead coming out of the box as well. Jason Todd is not alive. But he’s not entire dead yet either.
He remembers dying. He remembers being dead. He remembers talking to his parents, his adoptive grandparents, to dicks parents. He remembers a lot.
He’s a zombie. A frankenstien learning how to walk and talk again even if he remembers his body has forgotten.
Talia finds him and takes him in.
He’s dead. His heart doesn’t beat. Every single wound has to be fixed with Lazarus water as he doesn’t heal. He doesn’t grow. The dead can’t get older after all. He’s walking around, talking to people, but the world will never see an adult Jason Todd.
This is all set up to tiny 4’8 Jason Todd as Red Hood that batdad instantly wishes to adopt bc bapy before even the reveal.
Jason has to be extra rutheless to get people to take him seriously. The rouges hotly debate if he’s actually a child or just a midget (they refuse to admit being twarted by a child) The crime alley residents think his name is short for ‘little red riding hood’ and call him Little Red as he desperately tries to get street cred.
Jason sneaks into the batcave to steal his old costume to make his point and unfortunately for his plots of revenge he keeps being assumed to be a hallucination. Or sometimes he’s trying to not be spotted only to get spotted so he has to pretend to be a hallucination to not blow up his plan early.
Actually it’s Dick who spots him and Jason asks him to buy him Chilli dogs and Dick is like “ah yes classic hallucination jason, i will offer a chilli dogs for you as you insult me. wow can’t believe this hallucination is so detailed my mind is even pretending the chilli dogs is gone.”
Jason: you are just a pretender! You stole Robin from me! I will show Bruce how you are too weak to be Robin and will die like me by beating you up and sending you to a hospital!
Tim: ah yes. my imposter syndrome. i was wondering when you would start disturbing me again. … maybe I haven’t slept in too long I’m starting to see shit- uhh when do you go legally insane from sleep deprivation again? ONLY 3 DAYS?? Okay, well that explains that *points at a very confused Jason in his Robin costume*
Jason:
Jason: should I come back later? I have a whole monologue planned but I want it to make an impact
Jason and Tim fight is just like. 2 teenagers duking it out in an abandoned parking lot.
