“Everyone should have an Alfred. Someone who can cut through the crap and tell you the way the world is. Then he leaves you alone. But guys like us? The life we lead? We’re never truly alone. Every day is a fresh horror. Every memory a nightmare. Even when it is just the two of us. There’s a pasty-faced clown sitting in the corner of the room, just laughing. At us.” - Jason Todd.

What I can say is that I’m very conscious of what that controversy was and how a lot of people reacted to that. Starfire’s always been one of my oldest favorites, and I do think that her being this kind of sexual character is very much ingrained into what she was created as with Marv Wolfman and George Pérez back with New Teen Titans. But I do think at her core there’s a great dichotomy in the character, like - it’s extreme passion. That’s always been what rules the character, from her extreme compassion and friendship and how much she cares about everyone around her, and then also on the flip side is when that turns, and when she’s angry then it’s the fiery anger of, y’know, alien warrior princess. It gets pretty intense. I’ve spent a lot of time reading a lot of the original Starfire stories and a lot of the different depictions of her, and I want to honor the character that people are big fans of while building off of the New 52 version of the character, and making sure that everything I’m doing is constructive - is building the character towards the character’s future.

[RHATO] is a book that Tynion described as a “true adventure book” that allows writers to do different adventures just based on the diverse genre backgrounds of the cast. “I wanted to tell a story that gets to the heart of all three of these characters and puts them up against major figures from their past,” said Tynion.

CV: Looking again at Jason and Tim, outside of the fact that you’re writing both of them, what is it about Red Robin and Red Hood that would make them come together or seek each other out when the Joker attacks?
SL: Actually, they don’t have any say in the situation at all! It’s the Joker who is putting the two of them together in kind of the way that war criminals used to experiment on twins or experiment on siblings; Joker realizes that the dynamics between Tim and Jason are such that he can kill two Robins with one stone. I think that Jason and Tim have much more in common than not. The idea is, you have Dick, who was the original, and you have Damian, who is the son of Batman — and these two are in the middle, who have come from outside and kind of both have legacy issues in a way Dick and Damian do not. While in the past, pre-New 52 we saw a lot of animosity between these two characters, I like to think that Tim is bold enough and mature enough and has shared at least some of Jason’s frustrations that, as we saw in this scene in “Red Hood And The Outlaws,” Tim is the one who gets it. He gets that it’s hard to be beaten to death and come back and try to move on with your life and he has a lot more sensitivity to Jason than any other member of the Bat-family.

(…) The collision between The Joker and Jason “hurls” the Red Hood comic “into an entirely different direction.

Red Hood is going to be very involved in “Death of the Family,” Lobdell says, which will force Arsenal and Starfire to have their own adventures for a while, including a team-up with The New 52 version of Crimson Fox.
