WhileRed Hoodhas always cared aboutNightwing , it ’s very uncommon for him to externally express it . On one occasion , Jason Todd got distressingly unaired to outright telling Dick Grayson how he truly views him , but he was n’t quite able to say it .
Jason - and the intact Bat - Family apart from Batman himself - had assumed Dick to be dead for quite some time . Dick was unmasked to the whole worldly concern by the Crime Syndicate in theForever Evilcrossover event and was subsequently pour down . Although he was resurrect , Bruce forced him togo undercover in the undercover agent organisation Spyraland to let the reality keep think that he was dead . No one was appropriate to know that Dick was awake , and unfortunately , this also include Dick ’s fellow Robins and Bat - Family members .

Dick returns to Gotham in Grayson # 12 , written by Tom King with artistic creation by Mikel Janin , and when the Bat - Family finds out that Dickhadn’tdied , reactions are mixed . Barbara is disappointed but not surprised , while Damian is thrilled . However , Jason is furious . He greets Dick with a fist to the faceand exclaims that he expire to Dick ’s funeral ( which is important , because Dick did n’t go to Jason ’s ) . He tell him,“I do n’t care what Bats told you , you do n’t do that to your - you do n’t do that to another Robin ! ”
Jason was clearly about to cite to Dick as his brother , but he stop himself , probably for a variety of reason . He ’s already got some serious family effect , so call someone his pal out loud in the first shoes is rare . He had gotten to that layer with Dick , but then Dick ’s perceived treason made Jason hesitant to call him a brother , which is heartrending . In addition , death is no laughing affair to Jason . For Dick to practice death as merely a cover song for a mission and treat it as something trivial was likely a major abuse to Jason , whose dying shaped his lifetime .
He did n’t instantaneously say it , but it ’s clean that Jason views Dick as his older brother . Luckily , since this incident , they ’ve rekindled their relationship , including recently inNightwing Annual 2021 # 1written by Tom Taylor with artistic creation by Cian Tormey and Daniel HDR . Even though he could n’t say it at the time , it ’s undeniable thatRed Hoodhas always cared aboutNightwingas his brother .
