Description
Jason, the son of Willis and Catherine Todd, lives on the East end of Gotham, in the Park Row district called Crime Alley. Todd's mother was a drug addict who died of an overdose some time before he began living on the street. His father Willis was working as hired muscle for Two-Face and had disappeared suspiciously following a botched assignment. Bruce Wayne sees to it that Todd is placed in a school for troubled youths which turns out to be Ma Gunn's School for Crime. Jason earns the mantle of Robin a short while later by helping Batman apprehend the gang of thieves. However, Todd does not wear the Robin costume (an improved version of the classic) until six months of training. Batman notes that while Todd doesn't possess Dick Grayson's natural athleticism & acrobatic skills, he can become a productive crimefighter by channeling his rage. He also believes that if he doesn't help the boy, Todd will eventually become part of the "criminal element."
After his defeat and apparent death at the hands of the Joker, Todd is resurrected by Ra's Al Ghul to serve in his League of Shadows. After the Fall of the Bat, Bruce seeks out Jason at Blackgate, to mend old wounds. He has him releasaed and reinvents him. Todd takes the name the Comedian in defiance to his greatest foe, the Joker.
