Red Hood Returns His Death as Robin
Jason Todd will never be able to flee the legacy of his death by reader poll back in 1988. Creators have battled to define Red Hood's persona ever since his resurrection in the Under the Red Hood arc; first, he was a wicked "anti-Batman," carrying pistols and unreservedly lethal. Later readings would treat him as more of a renegade agent, with tasks too nasty for even Batman to handle. Whether one interprets him as "the Robin who died," his legacy shapes Jason's distinctive remorse, suffering, and inclination for violence.
Jason Todd's gutsy editorial decision to weaponize his own death helps him to at last take back his legacy. The moment is rife with symbolism: Jason's initial death signaled a clearly negative turn for Batman's tone going forward, but this second death promised atonement for Bruce as well as Jason. Here Jason chooses to sacrifice himself to destroy Zur/Failsafe in a move that supports Red Hood's dedication to safeguarding and conserving the kinder, modern Bat-Family dynamic, instead of being killed as a pawn in a conflict between Batman and the Joker.

Batman #148 represents the end of his lengthy road for forgiveness by both the Bat-Family and himself, while Jason began his second life as Batman's lethal opposite. Finally lets him escape the shadow of his murder all those years ago by letting him confront death on his own terms.

Though in weaponizing it Red Hood transforms his darkest event into a force for good, Jason Todd's death is remains one of the defining traits of the character. This scene in Batman #148 confirms Red Hood's position in the Bat-Family as a member ready to give his life for the benefit of others.
