When Jason Todd Murdered Another Abuser, In 1988 (Spoilers) Posted on Batman: Urban Legends #2 from DC Comics continuing the story of Jason Todd, Red Hood, crossing the line. Shooting an unrepentant small-time drug dealer, who was going to continue to cause trouble for his partner and their young child, without any qualms. So Jason Todd shot him. Something that crossed a line. But was that always the case? Batman #424 by Jim Starlin and MD Bright Batman: Urban Legends #2 shows, basically, baby's first kill. That Jason Todd always had this in him. But that's not new either, Batman #424 was probably overshadowed by The Death In The Family story that followed. But it is an integral part of that story, and part of the idea that there are consequences for actions. And Jaspn Todd's death at the hands of the Joker was preordained.
