Jason
Todd's return in the pages of Batman always seems to spark a highly contentious debate between Bat-fans. But up until now, no one knew the whole story. What happened between the time when Jason was dipped in the Lazarus Pit and his bloody return to the streets of Gotham? How did this former Boy Wonder turn into the tortured madman we all know today?
This June, writer Judd Winick hopes to explore this in Red Hood: The Lost Days. The comic's release will coincide with the release of the highly anticipated animated movie Under the Red Hood (also written by Winick).
Winick, best known as the man who brought Todd back to the land of the living in the first place no doubt hopes to flesh out the character whose return was largely maligned by comic book fans.

“I’m thrilled to return to this character, and it’s both a joy and challenge to tackle this new story. LOST DAYS tracks the time from the Red Hood’s rebirth to his return to Gotham. In it, we get to understand this anti-hero in a new way. I think it explains both how he’s sympathetic, and an unrepentant monster. He’s a wonderfully complex character, and I hope this adds some even greater depth to his mythology.”
