8 Dead Comic Book Movie Superheroes That Need To Be Revived

Jason Todd

Despite the rumors that the dead Robin in the DCEU was Dick Grayson, we all know that it’s actually Jason Todd and he was murdered by the Joker and his missus, Harley Quinn. Technically, we haven’t seen Todd at all – apart from his spray-painted costume in the Batcave – but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to see his return under the guise of the Red Hood.

There was a sneaky suspicion that Geoff Johns and Ben Affleck’s The Batman script would’ve explored Todd’s death and return, but those plans seem to have been canned since Matt Reeves decided to do a page-one rewrite of the movie. If the rumors of a trilogy are correct, however, it’s possible that Reeves might deal with the Todd conundrum in one of his future Batman films.

Nonetheless, it’s a little quiet in the DCEU without the Robins running amok. They’re an important part of the Batman mythos and we can’t wait to see them form a part of this universe. Todd, in particular, would be a terrific addition, as he and the Bat will undeniably butt heads over his questionable methods of vigilantism.
