This pic is awesome...but Jay has never been a villain. He's always been an antihero, hero (as Robin) and then there was that one time Grant Morrison F*cked up his character, but his costume was SO BAD when that happened, people try not to talk about it...
Me? I hate to say this, as an intelligent reader at 55, but I liked him best when he was emo boy: "How could you let the Joker live? I'ma kill ALL the baddies until you stop me! Because they deserve it and I'm mad and hurt and I'ma make YOU come to ME! Just so I can tell you how bad you hurt me and stuff!" I mean, do any of us really believe that EVERY kid sidekick would grow up sane and level?
And let's not even discuss a former street kid's opinion of those drug dealers anyway, especially given the way the mother who raised him must have died.
My *least* favorite Red Hood was the generically anti-vigilante Pill-Dome with no real personality except the gimmick; reminded me of old Dick Tracy villains. And the OUTFIT--!!! Look, the bike-leathers Red Hood makes *sense*; he's being a human being fighting other human beings (drug dealers and all) for human reasons, both interior and exterior. Spandex? Spandex is Batman and Robin, which <insert sob> must never have been real, or Daddy woulda kilt the guy who hurt him. So there! <defiant sniffle>
And on the practical side, the biker leathers also mean he can look pretty normal on the street in ten seconds or less. Spandex and a rigid head-tube do not a quick disguise make.
I like him riding the fence but leaning more towards just doing his own thing, which I guess is technically being a villain. Under the Red Hood is pretty much how I always remember him.
ONcE YOU'VE READ THE FIRST WORD OF THIS YOU CANT GET OUT. READ ON OR DIE TONIGHT AT 10:35...... P.M.9 years ago a person named Jerry got dared to sleep in a house that was belived haunted.The... next day his friends waited for him out side the house................... They had to go inside and search for him. They went through every room exept the attic.He wasn't supposed to sleep there. He was supposed to sleep in the living room they went into the attic. They saw Jerry's corpse and they just left because they were scared. But that night they all died because of their friend. He killed them all for making him sleep in that house If you don't send this to 11 comments you will die tonight by Jerry. Example 1: A man named Stewart Read this and didn't believe it. He shut off his computer and went through his day. That night while he was in bed he heard something outside of his door. He got up to look. And now he's dead. Example 2: A Girl named Haley Read this in the morning and she got scared but she didn't send it. She wanted to know if it was true. She went to school (She was only 13 years old) and that night she died. If you don't post this on 11 comments tonight Jerry will 'visit' you.
"Ya gotta give the kid props! He came all the way back from Hell to make this shindig happen! So, who's got a camera? You can get one of me and the kid first, then you and I, and then all three of us, maybe one with the crowbar-"
Thwack!
You be as quiet as possible or the first one goes in your lap!
I love the style of this piece...it totally pulls off Jason's wild and untamed nature.
