The Original Introduction of Jason Todd as Robin

Not a lot of people are probably all that familiar beyond a passing note that Jason Todd existed Before Crisis on Infinite Earth. He did not first come onto the scene with a tire iron to Batman's gut.

But instead in 1983 with Batman #357

(Detective Comics #525)

The Todd family was a trapeze act that named themselves after the Grayson family in Haly's Circus after John and Mary fell to their death and Dick Grayson was taken in by Bruce Wayne. I'm sure that was rather a shock for Dick.

(Detective Comics #525)

Robin then asks Jason's parents for help capturing Killer Croc and promises they won't regret it

(Detective Comics #526)

Anyways Killer Croc feeds Jason's parents to crocodiles

(Batman #359)

Okay to be fair to Dick he thought asking civilians to investigate Killer Croc was a really bad idea but Bruce flipped the fuck out on him and they went through with it

(Detective #526)

Meanwhile, Jason while being given refuge at the Wayne Manor while his parents get munched on snoops around and figures out Bruce Wayne is Batman. Also adorable is Bruce kept a chest filled with the costumes Dick had grown out of over the years

(Detective Comics #526)

So Jason goes out on an adventure to find his parents and finds Batman wrestling Killer Croc. Also Joker is here.

(Detective Comic #526)

Jason learns from Batgirl who is also here that Killer Croc killed his parents. And freaks the fuck out. Dick comforts Jason and Babs goes to rescue Talia and Catwoman. Because they were also here the whole time but in an unimportant to Jason capacity

(Detective Comic #526)

18 year old Dick Grayson then turns to Bruce and insists he wants to adopt Jason Todd. Bruce pats his son on the shoulder thinking what I can only imagine is some form of 'nice try college drop out I'll handle it myself'

(Detective Comics #526)

And Despite his adoption suggestion, Dick seems pretty pleased that Jason will be taken under Bruce's wing instead

-

And I just want to add the trapeze kid repeat doesn't actually feel as forced as some people make it out to be. Naturally, Haly's Circus would move to replace their most famous act with the same thing. A family of trapeze artists. (Scratch that I thought it was still Haly's Circus because Dick knew the clown in this circus from his circus but it's a different circus. I digress though) Jason's parents died in a different way that is actually unique to the Batman mythos. Jason's orphanage was explicitly the fault of Dick and Bruce though they don't really tap into that as much as they should. If this had stayed canon I Know that would have been a massive talking point. Dick considered taking on the responsibility but let Bruce step in without a fuss like I know this could have been so good.

So there’s this Superman comic I really like called Superman: Earth One, written by J. Michael Straczynski, and I enjoy it because it portrays a version of Superman who’s believably angry about the state of the world and often has to work around that in his decision making. And as a follow-up to that, I also really, really like the comic because it directly addresses the elephant in the room about why Superman doesn’t get involved in politics.

There’s a sequence in the second volume where Superman is providing disaster relief to a minority-dominated area of a country, which the local dictator has been passively trying to genocide by denying conventional relief. Said dictator shows up and starts executing and mutilating the local populace until Superman leaves; this causes Superman to throw in with the local revolutionaries, and he subsequently storms the dictator's palace, disarms everyone present without actually hurting anyone, and then leaves the dictator open for the revolutionaries to do with as they please. Very messy things subsequently happen to the dictator.

And this is the point at which the United States Government drops everything to begin working out a way to kill Superman, because they surmise that it’s only a matter of time before Superman does the same thing at the White House.

And then, after Superman barely scrapes out a win against the CIA’s half-baked predictably-nearly-apocalyptic plan to kill him by cutting a deal with General Zod, he goes to the United Nations and says, “Look, I can’t survive you assholes pulling out all the stops to get rid of me, but you can’t survive the fallout of a successful plan to get rid of me because anything the CIA makes or recruits that’s capable of killing me, is almost certainly going to immediately turn around and kill all of you. As this whole mess demonstrated! So how about I pledge to stop couping dictators, you stop growing evil Superman Clones, we all go home really unhappy and do our best to get on with it?”

And, you know, ask any Superman fan who hasn’t read this comic why he doesn’t fight the government and you’d get an answer along these lines! It’s not hard to intuit the realpolitik of Superman’s position on the world stage, he can’t help people if he’s constantly fighting every government at once. But most Superman comics that get political in this way either have him stay out of it entirely due to personal ethics, or have him become a crusading tyrant to demonstrate why it’s a bad idea. So even if it required a generally angrier and grittier Clark than you usually see, it was really refreshing to see a version of Superman that dipped into this kind of thing just enough to canonize the obvious answer as to why he usually steers clear of outright political violence.

open to any gender plot: power girl got sent to the universe of the boys and drank a bit too much of the koolaid while she was there

"Don't you ever feel like we're not doing enough?" Paige asked her fellow hero. She'd recently been trapped on an alternate world...and what a world it was. That world's heroes were quite a bit more...brutal, and more beloved, and essentially ruled the world. At first, she'd been offput by things there, but she'd been there for a few months. She'd seen that some of their ideas weren't all that bad. The people there were...pretty gross, but their ideas could be implemented by better people and the world would be better off for it.

"I mean, aren't you tired of fighting the same people over and over again when they could just...not be an issue anymore so easily? Luthor wouldn't have been able to send me to another reality if we'd just removed him from the equation years ago," she hummed a bit, as she stepped closer to them. Another thing she'd learned there...was that sex made it a whole lot easier to manipulate somebody, "And we're some of the most powerful beings on the planet. Why should we bother being a Justice League when we can be so much more than that?" Her arms slipped around their neck, as she pressed her famous bust against their chest, "We could rule this world. I could be your Queen. It's time we stopped letting the regular folk pretend like we're on the same level as them. We're so much better than them...they should be worshipping us and thanking us for bothering to ever help them instead of slandering us in the newspapers constantly." She knew some of the others wouldn't want to join her on her new mission...not everybody would be able to be convinced that they could do so much more...she hoped she wouldn't have to fight her friends, but she'd do what needed to be done.

This person right here, though? She hoped they'd want to be her partner, her equal in this fight. They made quite the pair...

Jason Todd as Robin ... the first time

[I previously addressed how before the original Crisis Jason Todd was introduced to the world.] The world being Earth One and this Jason Todd is much different to the Jason of New Earth who smacked Batman with a tire iron. He has red hair

But this is the tale of how Jason was awarded the title of Robin the first time around.

It begins with Dick Grayson. Wally West has just quit the Titans because he's losing his powers. And Dick has an announcement of his own.

(New Teen Titans vol 1 #39)

Dick has been Robin since he was 8 years old but he can't be Batman's kid partner forever. "Costume, you and I have gone through a Lot together. Sure hope your new wearer doesn't abuse you as much as I did." He already has a successor picked out of course

But Bruce is maybe not so on board not at first.

(Batman #363)

Jason is rather peeved he isn't allowed to do anything in this new place he's been put and reminds Alfred he can just go back to the circus

(Batman #363)

Still Jason sneaks out to assist Bruce with his Batmaning which is Not appreciated. Bruce realizing that maybe the orphan he took in at eight shouldn't have been fighting crime and trying to stop his new child actually makes So So much more sense than fired an adult Dick Grayson to protect him and then hired a twelve year old to replace him

(Batman #363)

Anyways Jason is pissed and makes a break for it back to the circus. "... Not every conversation with a clown in funny." hilarious narration and excellent unintentional foreshadowing

(Detective Comics #530)

Bruce realizes Jason ran away and is like 'Let's go get him back before the police realize we are almost kind of holding a child hostage. And by we I mean you Alfred okay bye.'

(Detective Comics #531)

Then after a fight that was with some lions and other evil villains this circus has a rough time. Bruce agrees Jason can have a chance at being his partner.

(Batman #366)

Jason is bored waiting around for Batman partner training and goes and fucks around in Dick's room.

(Batman #366)

What he found was evidently one of Dick's costumes and hair dye? So to note Jason dyed his own hair black just to prove himself nobody made him.

(Batman #366)

Anyways SUPER important because I'm so Mad they changed this and the fandom gets in a tizzy about it to this day. But Bruce was pissed Jason dressed up as Robin. "But at the very first opportunity, you will remove that costume. You had no right to wear it in the first place. Becoming my new parter is one thing...stealing someone else's very identity is another-- and one I won't allow." Bruce was incredibly protective of Dick's claim to Robin.
