Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Batman Annual

Anyone read this? They explain EVERYTHING and it ties into IC.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Superboy Prime banging on the walls of reality brings Jason Todd back from the dead because he was never supposed to have died in the first place.

Unfortunately, he had died and was buried and came back to life waking up 6 feet under in his coffin.

He digs his way out and roams around before being picked up and taken to the hospital where he is treated for his injuries. However, instinct takes over and Jason escapes to live on the streets.

Jason is eventually recognized by a one-time hood who sells the info to Talia Ah Ghul. She takes Jason to her father and they take care of him out of respect for an honored enemy but Jason is a broken man, not speaking and very unresponsive.

However, Talia has other plans and when Ras enters a Lazarus Pit, she throws Jason in after him. Jason regains his memory and the now enraged Ras attacks them. They run and Talia tells Jason that he went unavenged and to look for the truth himself. She gives him a bag, kisses him and pushes him over a waterfall to freedom.

Turns out that Jason was behind Clayface's attempt at posing as the living Jason Todd all along in Hush and is angry over Bruce lack of regret in dealing with an alive Jason.</span></span>

All in all, the only reason I picked this up was because I wanted to see how they did it. I was not a fan of bringing Jason Todd back in the first place but I thought this was well done.

And it also seems that Jason has a knife much like the one that is shown on the OYL Nightwing cover.

I liked it too. Everything all fits togethere nicely. Now Jason has a pretty worthy enemy in Ra's if he is still alive.

That is the first annual in awhile that was really worth the price.

Even though I don't usually read Batman, I did read Hush way back when and, since Jason's been back, I was curious and picked this up.

I have to say that I enjoyed it. I like that Jason's such a freak. And I like how neatly things end up fitting together.

And!! Bonus-- I finally get the Doom Patrol stuff that was happening in the last issue of Teen Titans. That makes me happy.

I like it too, Cal. Kind of fits Jason's messed up life (or lack thereof).

Dead or Alive. Either way, such a tragic life.

Jason makes an awesome villain for Batman and Dick and Tim as well. Since he's completely their mirror image more or less.
