Over 30 years ago, history was made when fans voted to kill the second Robin, Jason Todd. Now, DC continues the alternate story of what would have happened if he had lived… Jason Todd, traumatized after The Joker’s near-fatal attack, struggles to step back into Robin’s shoes — while Batman questions the very need for a young partner by his side.
