DC has struggled to find out what to do withJason Todd , have him be an anti - villain , an antagonist , and an anti - hero . He ’s gone from struggle Batman to leading his own squad of zombified villains and despite all of that he still does n’t really have any roots or family of his own . This is why it might be time to call on a threadbare banality of resuscitate a family member . Bringing back Jason ’s mother could be just what he needs .
Jason has had a hard meter finding his place in the Batfamily , being one of the only fellow member willing to use deadly force has often put him at betting odds with Batman and the others . Thoughthe Batfmaily has sometimes been supportive of Jason , he has lilliputian funding outside of that . He also never really found his supporting family , whereas Dick Grayson had Barbara Gordon and Bridget Clancey , Tim had Stephanie Brown and Bernard , while Jason does n’t really have a uniform supporting cast . Jason used to chum up around with Starfire and Arsenal , then later Bizzaro and Artemis , but these are characters that are far too gravid to bejustsupporting characters . Bringing back Sheila Haywood , Jason ’s condemnable mother could give him just the family link he necessitate to finally find some measure of stand roll or place in the DC universe .
Every Batfamily character reference has a support cast . Even Damian Wayne had Maya Ducard as view inRobin : Son of Batman # 1written and drawn by Patrick Gleason , butJason has always gotten the unforesightful end of the stick . When he was a member of the All - Caste he had some people , but they ’re all but forgotten now and never really had that braggart of aconnectionto Jason . reach Jason ’s focus on punishing criminals , bringing back his female parent Sheila could work . Jason ’s current cartoon strip actually have a way to make this happen . In the pages ofTask Force Z , by Matthew Rosenberg and Eddy Barrows , Jason is currently dealing with the Lazarus resin , a substance capable of bring people back to life . view the current canon is that Jason was play back using a Lazarus pit , doing the same for his female parent would n’t be unreasonable .
Throw in the fact that Willis Todd , Jason ’s father , is still currently animated and acting as Wingman as control inRed Hood and the Outlaws # 36,by Scott Lobdell and Pete Woods , and there really is everything needed to bring Jason the supporting cast of his folk . It would be an interesting dynamic unseen since Tim Drake , the third Robin who come from a loving home , only to have both of his parents eventually belt down . IfJason , the oftentimes dark and edgiest Robin , was really able to get a supporting static household lifetime , it ’d give him a unequaled advantage over his brothers . And while the take kin Bruce has furnish for Dick and Tim is undeniable , it ’s evenly undeniable that Jason has never really base his place in it .
Bringing Sheila and Willis back , permit Jason respond to and handle with how his female parent betray him and left him to die or how his begetter is trying to move past his criminal story and become a hoagy in his own right would be a firebrand novel direction to take Jason in . Currently , Jason is lead his squad of zombies to strain and make the world a better property in his own way , and as admirable as that is , hopefully , somedayJason Toddwill get a plunk for cast that he can come home to .
