History YMMV / RedHood

* DracoInLeatherPants: Jason has brutally killed criminals and yet he had garnered a lot of fans willing to overlook his past transgressions and even justifying his actions as if he is only killing criminals who deserve it. Never mind that he has threatened to bomb innocents, attempted to kill Bruce, Dick, Tim and Damian many times, and even tried to replace Bruce as Gun-toting Batman in [[Comicbook/GrantMorrisonsBatman Battle for the cowl]]. It's noticeable in New 52 and Comicbook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws where despite his complete murderous past being intact, he's shown to be EasilyForgiven by the other Batfamily members.

* SignatureSeriesArc: Since ''Under the Red Hood'', any time that a DarkerAndEdgier Batman {{Expy}} appears on any Batman adaptation, nine out of ten times Jason will be under the mask.

* CantUnhearIt: Jensen Ackles is the ''definitive'' voice of Red Hood, thanks to his portrayal of him at ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood'' to the point that fans are begging for him to be cast in future works. An alternate choice is Creator/TroyBaker.

** Also has a following in the Video Game fandom, thanks to his appearance in ''Arkham Knight'' and his somewhat EnsembleDarkhorse status in VideoGame/Injustice2

* TheScrappy: Ever since the New 52, the comic version is often considered to be this, even in ''his own book'', often due to the CreatorsPet treatment he gets from Creator/ScottLobdell.

** His appearance in ''Battle For The Cowl'' is regarded as one of his lowest moments by a lot of fans.
[[note]]Contrary to popular belief, the story is not written by Grant Morrison, but rather Tony Daniel[[/note]]

* BaseBreakingCharacter: One of the biggest in Batman media, thanks to his ReplacementScrappy status to Dick Grayson, and the fact that he was deliberately written as insufferable by writers has him gain this status to the readers. Even after his resurrection, his inconsistent portrayals make fans wish that he was never brought back or at least stick to Winnick's interpretation. This has gotten worse ever since the New 52 began and the comics started portraying him in a more consistently sympathetic light with a closer (though still a bit strained) relationship with the Batfamily: Some like the idea of Jason getting some positive character development and healing from his trauma, others think that the new direction does nothing but make him a KarmaHoudini and a canon example of DracoInLeatherPants and a third group likes the concept but [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot finds the execution rushed and forced more than anything.]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: His return as the Red Hood returned him to relevancy and gained him new fans. Although he seems to be rotating in and out of this and TheScrappy after his resurrection.

* DorkAge: Hey, remember the time Jason became a tentacle monster? [[FanonDiscontinuity Neither do everyone else...]]

** Before his resurrection in ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood Under The Red Hood]]'', he's been this ever since Post-Crisis to the point that fans eventually voted for him [[ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily to be killed by the Joker]]. While an almost equal number of people voted to spare him (it is rumored that at least three hundred of the votes were from the same caller), a lot of people thought that the vote was for the first Robin, Dick Grayson, who was excessively popular amongst a lot of fans, and that's not a rumor.

After his resurrection, the lack of a clear editorial direction meant his characterization was all over the place making fans wish that he was never brought back or at least stick to one interpretation.

** In a subversion, a good amount of his character arc Post Flashpoint has him realizing the flaws behind the "kill the criminal" philosophy and looking for a better alternative. This is better exemplified by his attempts to redeem Duela in ''[[ComicBook/RedHoodArsenal Red Hood Arsenal]]'' and his approach with the Generation Outlaw kids.
* MyRealDaddy: Although Jason "the dead Robin" Todd was created by Gerry Conway, Judd Winick set his status quo as the Red Hood and defined his character for the new millennium.
** For those who don't give him the DracoInLeatherPants treatment, Grant Morrison was the last writer to do justice with Jason.** For those who don't give him the DracoinLeatherPants treatment, Grant Morrison was the last writer to do justice with Jason.
** Creator/ScottLobdell is the writer to work the longest with Jason -eight years and counting-, so naturally, his take on Red Hood has informed any and all of Red Hood's modern appearances in official material and fanworks.
* TheScrappy: Jason has always been a very divisive character since his inception, constantly seen as a poor replacement for Dick as Robin, and after his resurrection, as a poor man's ComicBook/Punisher.
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: However his popularity has done nothing but grow since the start of the new Millenium thanks to the N52 and Rebirth finally giving him a proper characterization and direction.

* MisaimedFandom: Much like with ComicBook/ThePunisher, there is a sizeable section of the fandom who fail to realize that Jason's inclination towards killing is a tragic outcome of terrible things he's suffered in his life and that his lethal methods often fail to stop crime, sometimes even escalating them. Rather, they just see him as the reason why Batman would be "cooler" if he killed people. In the post-Flashpoint timeline, his own writers adopt this "killing is cool" stance.
