That's just stupid, then.<br /><br />@jake - yeah, in "Hush" Clayface posed as a returned Jason Todd in a move that really made no sense. It was Hush playing mindgames with Batman. Anyway, people freaked out about the idea to such a degree that DC decided "well, now we HAVE to do it!". So, around 2005, he showed up again.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-16708154198156379932013-02-26T16:17:15.920-06:002013-02-26T16:17:15.920-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-85656633711657899182013-02-26T15:43:36.689-06:002013-02-26T15:43:36.689-06:00Was the "Hush" storyline where they brou...Was the "Hush" storyline where they brought Jason Todd back?

It's such a weird, outlandish idea, but it's also so, so DC Comics. If we can have LAzarus Pits, green rings powered by willpower, Amazon women on an island somewhere in the Atlantic, New Gods and bottle cities, I am totally okay with a transdimensional Superboy punching at the walls of reality to cause continuity problems.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-92168331385185099532013-02-26T12:29:42.034-06:002013-02-26T12:29:42.034-06:00@Ryan - yeah, I literally had not thought about it...@Ryan - yeah, I literally had not thought about it in a long time. Writing it down forced me to realize how dumb it was. The stupidity is only compounded by the way in which Jason was brought back from the dead. Superboy Prime punching a wall for those of you who've forgotten. <br /><br />You'd think when they did the DC reboot they'd be able to get rid of that but nope.Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294499213897153104.post-63100152372865495792013-02-26T11:06:46.075-06:002013-02-26T11:06:46.075-06:00@matt - I would pay so much for a comic where DC h...@matt - I would pay so much for a comic where DC had the nuts to make Joker the Iranian ambassador again.

You would think that people would be getting immune to this stuff by now. I guess by putting it in the NY Post DC is hoping the rubes will run out and buy a copy of Batman Inc 8 cause Robin dies. Too bad they aren't aware that this is actually Robin 4 or 5, I can't even keep track anymore. So this is actually the third time a Robin will die and both of the previous deaths have been reversed so there is no reason to think this one won't be too.<br /><br />I think that it was ridiculous for there have been 4 Robin's in that 5 year time frame as well. I guess DC has caught on to that as well as I understand that Tim Drake was never Robin, he just went straight to Red Robin.<br /><br />I thought the fake out of making Jason Todd Hush only to find out it was Clayface pretending to be Jason Todd pretending to be Hush. Oh wait, I was going to say I liked it but now that I type it out I realize how silly that was. I guess Jason Todd has never been cool.<br />Simon MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749383583517044214noreply@blogger.com
