When he consume Jason Todd under his wing as the young Robin , Batmanwas trying to mold the futureRed Hoodinto a hero . However , perhaps the boy require far more than just valiancy , but alternatively simply Father-God . This sentiment becomes evident inRed Hood & The Outlaws#3 by Scott Lobdell & Kenneth Rocafort . In it , Red Hood & co. arrive at the doorsill of S’Aru the Proctor , a magical , millennium - old valet - child .
The gang postulate S’Aru ’s assistant and permission to chase after The Untitled through The Chamber of All . He oblige , but under the condition that he ’s allow to peek inwardly of everyone ’s computer storage , taking with him as collateral their most precious memories , only come back them when - or if - they regress . favorable for them , they do and all of these memories are render , except for Red Hood ’s , who opts not to receive his back .

It ’s a surprisingly round-eyed , wholesome moment for the typically bloodthirsty superhero to hold so dearly , but it ’s quite telling in that heed . Keep in mind that this is the same Robin who salve Superman from the Black Mercy and has a bevy of similarly exciting , heroic moment to his name . Any one of those moment could have intend the most toRed Hood during his tenure as Robin . Yet , his most cherished memory as Robin is watching TV with Batman . It ’s sorely clear - even to Red Hood himself - that Jason Todd should have never become Robin . He simply should have always been Bruce Wayne ’s son .
It may be an understatement to say that becoming Robin did a heap more harm to Jason Todd ’s life history than expert . Not only did becoming Robin lead to Jason Todd ’s death at the handwriting of The Joker , being Robin merely gave him an outlet to be violent , play off to Bruce ’s design to use valour to tame that red bar . Batman ’s aim were good , in hopes of not seeing an orphan on the streets steer down the wrong path . BecomingRobin did a creation of commodity for DickGrayson before him , but for Jason , being a crimefighter proved to be counterproductive in the long running .
If Batman really desire to tender his guidance , his best bet was only to be a male parent first . To give the boy a roof under his point , food in his belly , but lead the actual crimefighting to his nights as Batman . Red Hood#3 highlights this idea . As a turbulent youth , Jason never want to be Robin , but he in reality call for a father figure to wish for him . That ’s why his most cherished retention is simply a here and now of domesticated love . For one moment , Jason received something that he could n’t get asBatman ’s crony , but only as Bruce Wayne ’s son . It ’s all the male child ever need and , from the audio of it , it ’s all he ever wanted . Batmanjust demand to love and raiseRed Hoodas a son alternatively of a soldier .
