Do we actually know what happens to Jason after the under the red hood movie? Because every time I think about that movie’s ending I want to burst into tears.

Do you want the shitty, original answer or the still sucky but way more optimistic reboot answer?

Technically speaking, since the movie simplified and altered the comic's events, we don't really know, because the Batfam of the UtrH movie isn't the same Batfam of the comics; Tim didn't seem to exist, for one thing, and neither does Cass (who wasn't around for that particular arc, but was certainly present). You can probably look to the Death in the Family movie for a better understanding of how DC sees that progression going.

That being said, here's how everything in the comics happened post-Under the Red Hood, pre-Flashpoint (DC's 2011 universe reboot):

Jason resurfaces as a murderous Nightwing imposter in NYC, eventually teaming up with Dick to take down a bunch of mobsters. They part on uneasy but peaceful terms.

He then runs a gun-running operation out of Star City, captured Mia Dearden (the current Speedy), and tried to convince her to be his sidekick. She refused, so he blew up her school. It was a whole...thing.

During Countdown, he ends up helping the League deal with the Monitors and ended up taking an accidental multiverse trip with Donna Troy and Kyle Rayner, briefly taking up the costume and moniker of Red Robin (yes, Tim's Reborn-era costume and name came from this arc; yes, Tim has never had a codename of his own. We know) before returning to Red Hood

briefly teamed up with Tim for a hot second, neither one of them was very happy about it, and he promptly got sent back to jail afterwards

He escapes and pops back up in Gotham in time for Battle for the Cowl, running around as a murder-happy Batman after Bruce's death. As Batman, he proceeds to: shoot Damian, torture and kill Black Mask's mooks, leave Tim to die after brutally beating him unconscious and stabbing him in the chest, and beat Catwoman into the ground (twice) before finally losing to Dick (who then formally takes up the mantle of Batman).

Jason, feeling put out that Dick "won the claim" to the Batman mantle, decided to make Dick's life hell in the aftermath. He picked up his own sidekick (a girl named Scarlet), made some truly tragic fashion choices, and started broadcasting his brutal methods of dealing with criminals on social media, forcing Dick-as-Batman to deal with him. This chase results in Damian getting shot in the spine 5 times by Flamingo (he gets better) and Jason cornered by Dick and Commissioner Gordon, screaming that he's 'the solution that Gotham needs' and sounding, frankly, completely unhinged.

Jason gives himself up, ends up in Arkham (largely for his own protection; he would have been flat-out murdered in Blackgate or any of the surrounding 'normal' prisons), eventually gets transferred to a normal prison, kills a bunch of people (tl;dr both self-defense, they were trying to kill him first, and just as a morally bankrupt method of escaping prison), escapes, reunites with his sidekick, and disappears. And that's the last we see of him in the pre-reboot universe.

......yeah, none of us like that either! Excluding Countdown (which was fun arc in an otherwise absolute mess of a comic...truly one of the worst comic events I've ever read in my life, please don't do it) and Red Hood: Lost Days, which covered Jason's training with Talia and the League of Assassins before returning to Gotham, mostly everyone agrees that Jason's post-resurrection handling was an editorial decision that sucked, badly, and no one's happy with how that turned out.

The post-Flashpoint/New 52 universe was actually good for one thing: DC decided to take the opportunity to rehab Jason completely and reinvent him as an actual anti-hero. Tragically, this job got handed over to Scott (fucking) Lobdell, who proceeded to write Red Hood and the Outlaws and fuck everyone in that book over who wasn't named Jason Todd. While Kory was hit particularly badly in the beginning, Roy has borne the longest-lasting damage from that run. Also, Jason/Starfire was briefly a thing. We don't like to talk about that either. That being said, Jason's new post-resurrection history is much more positive (both for him and for the Batfamily) than it used to be, and we love that for him!

After his resurrection, he trained with the League of Assassins and the All-Caste (which included some really awesome anger management training that Jason proceeded to chuck directly in the trash can until after the events of Under the Red Hood)

Under the Red Hood happens

he worked out of Gotham as a ruthless anti-hero vigilante for a little bit. Battle for the Cowl is implied to have happened, possibly without the 'trying to murder Tim' bit (we're not really sure)

he hooked up with Roy Harper/Arsenal and Koriand'r/Starfire, formed the Outlaws, and went on several adventures. Also, he got magic swords, which was a cool af choice that DC continues to do absolutely nothing with

in between this, he worked with the Batfamily a bit; he helped out when the Court of Owls attacked Gotham (Night of Owls), helped them deal with the Joker when it's revealed the Joker knows their secret IDs (Death of the Family), and teamed up with Damian for a Batman Inc. arc (it went...poorly, but not as poorly as it could have)

He went back to the All-Caste and purposefully got his memory erased because he wouldn't just go to fucking therapy like a normal human being, then joined up with the League of Assassins for a hot second (Roy was trying to save his dumb ass this entire arc; thank god for Roy Harper, honestly)

Jason regained his memory and went on a few more adventures with the Outlaws, then worked with Roy for awhile after Bruce's presumed death (he really just had amnesia), then teamed up with the other Robins to help take down a villain called 'Mother'; this included an undercover operation w/Tim to take down a cult operating out of Santa Prisca

lots of other shit happens, he reformed the Outlaws (this time with Bizarro and Artemis, forming a sort of 'Dark Trinity'), had several more adventures, teamed up with the Batfam several more times, and got into lots and lots and lots of arguments with Bruce (there was an arc about his bio father Willis and Penguin, Bruce thought Jason broke the no-killing rule again, there was a pretty brutal fight...it sucked)

He went back to being a lethal solo vigilante for awhile, went back for vengeance against Penguin (again), shit with Leviathan (international criminal organization formerly run by Talia) happened, and finally he returned to Gotham as a solo hero

Where he helps Bruce hunt down 'Cheer' (a Joker/Scarecrow wannabe), he and Bruce finally make peace, and he agrees to give up his guns, go non-lethal, and start working with the Batfam again

And that is where we stand with Jason today (as of August 2021)! Who tf knows what's going to happen now, because we're officially in unchartered territory; this is the first time since Jason was resurrected in 2005 that DC is making a genuine, concerted effort to re-integrate him into the family instead of just being the Batfamily's 'sometimes ally prodigal brother/son with daddy issues galore'.

So, overall: lots of tragic and really awful narrative decisions on one hand, lots of shitty characterization but positive character development and family re-integration possibilities on the other. Take your pick!

✸ - complete

⨳ - ongoing

✦ - 10/10 fanfic, please read

✸Dead in the water - 34k - Through the power of puppy eyes, Dick convinces Jason to help him on an undercover mission. When the situation goes south, it takes a combination of survival skills, quick thinking, and teamwork to keep them from becoming Titanic: The Sequel.

Or: Dick and Jason get stuck on a lifeboat together, and uh oh, Jason’s in love.

2. ✸All Roads - 35k - Goddamn Bats. First they drag him into an undercover job that he has no interest in, and then, somehow, he has to pretend Grayson is his boyfriend.

Fuck his life.

3. ✸there to see - 22k - "What do you fucking mean he talked? He just stood there in that ballroom all 'Hey! Richard Grayson? Went and got married to his wannabe mobster boyfriend 'cause Daddy doesn't approve!' That what he did?"

As far as cases go, one where Dick has to pretend to be married to Jason is still not the worst one he's had to take.

But it sure is freaking complicated.

4. ✸All soulmates final, no refunds - 39k - Mystic Waters Grande Hotel sells itself as a luxury soulmate retreat with all manner of couple’s activities. The cost is high, and all is not as it appears on the hotel’s grounds. Dick and Jason go undercover as newlywed soulmates to find out what’s behind the rash of missing persons. And dig up old feelings in the process.

5. ✸The past doesn't ever really die - 21k - Jason retired from the whole antagonist thing when Batman took down the Red Hood's criminal empire, but dating Dick Grayson is complicating that a little.

6. ✸Through the wire - 22k - …to your door, to your door.

When Jason finally works up the courage to get a tattoo he's wanted for years, he attempts to send a picture of it to Roy, who is out of Gotham on an emergency mission. Turns out, Harper and Grayson are awfully close together in his contact list.

7. ✸wishing that I had something you wore - 25k -

For the second week in a row, Jason’s laundry had been stolen off the line. He wasn’t quite sure what to do.

entirely self-indulgent ABO

8. ✸Royally fucked - 20k - Dick is on the run and trying to get home to Gotham. On the way he runs into a snag, said snag being a 6"ft tall prime alpha who's an absolute animal in bed.

9.✸ Dick Grayson torrid affair with Nightwing - 34k -

All it takes is one stupid comment at one society event for Gotham's news media to get the wrong idea and run with it. Of course, they might've let it drop if Dick hadn't proceeded to rent a proverbial back-hoe and keep digging himself deeper.

OR

Five times the Gotham Media thinks it knows what's going on with Dick's love life, and the one time they (mostly) get it right

10. ✸Til the sun dies - 30k - When Leslie is banished from Gotham following Stephanie Brown's "death", Dick comes home and takes over the clinic at her request. He doesn't know that his future is about to be taken down a path guided by the people of Twitter and page six of the local news outlets. All he wants to do is keep his head down and help the people of Gotham without all this drama.

But maybe the drama will be worth it...maybe.

11. ✸kocked me off the ground - 36k - "It's Jason Todd you'd be working with. You remember Jason, right?"

"He's probably hoping you remember him."

For his best friend's wedding, Dick's more than willing to double as best man and co-wedding planner, even if it means going back to the city he's been avoiding for years on end. Then he meets the other best man and co-wedding planner and falling so hard and so fast was so not part of the plan.

12. ✸The Awakening - 30k - It would go down in history as the single most devastating, society-altering act any villain has committed – at least on Earth.

A story of unintended consequences, love, and two men finally coming around.

13. ✸How do we begin ? - 29k - Jason was minding his own damn business when an injured omega Nightwing fell right into the middle of his patrol.

14. ✸Robins fall once - 29k - Reverse Robins AU. It was bad enough that Robin harboured an unfortunate crush on him and Red Hood had exactly zero (0) idea how to handle it. But no, the little menace disguised as a ray of sunshine had to up the stakes and proceed to drag the best out of him, while not shutting up about how kind and chivalrous Red Hood was. With his villainous reputation in shambles, Red Hood was not amused.

15. ✸on my desk by monday - 23k - Dick Grayson was tired of living hidden in his father's shadow. He desperately needs to find a space where he can thrive as just himself, and figures seeking out a simple job might be a good start; but being Jason Todd's assistant gives him so much more than he expected to gain. (No capes AU. Jason Todd is a lawyer and Dick is hired as his assistant)

16. ✸An Unexpected Find - 30k - Jason didn’t mean to adopt a Talon. It just sort of happened, after he found him hiding on the fire escape outside of his apartment and in clear need of help. Now the bar where he works has never had a better protector, plus it’s great to have the company at home. If only they didn’t have the looming threat of Batman finding out hanging over their heads, everything would be perfect.

17. ✸like a rubber band until you pull too hard - 22k -

“You don’t know pain, Nightwing,” Morgaine hisses. The portal howling into existence behind her is almost loud enough to drown her out, but not quite. “But you will. I swear, you will.”

---

Morgaine le Fey curses Dick Grayson to absorb the pain of everyone he loves.

18. ✸Have your faith in me instead - 35k -

Renegade would have kept the sport up behind Batman’s back. Like a cat chasing a mouse, he would let his target escape purposefully only to show him later on it was all planned. Jason never truly slipped out of his grasp, and there was no escape by the current Robin from the former. A game that Dick liked to play.

Except it all stopped being a game when Batman let his Robin slip from under his wings and fly into danger. It stopped being a game when the pup—now omega—was lying in a pool of his own blood whimpering from every strike of the crowbar, a madman standing over him.

And Renegade decided to take matters into his own hands.

19. ✸Two birds on a wire - 20k - Dick asks Jason for help on a case. Jason should have never agreed.

20. ✸Another perfect catastrophe - 20k - Dick goes undercover as himself in order to catch a gang of international thieves. Jason reluctantly tags along as his long suffering bodyguard. During the ensuing mayhem they get to know each other again and build a few bridges.

21. ✸Take an umbrella - 23k - In which Jason qualifies for a scholarship to Gotham Academy, where he catches the attention of one Dick Grayson.

22. ✸set fire to my lungs - 20k - The truth is, Jason is still in love with Dick. And Dick can never know, because if he does, he just might be enough of a martyr to love Jason back.

Too bad sick minds are prone to spilling secrets.

23. ✸loving you is habit forming - 20k -

Then Dick turned to him, and Jason knew that he would say yes to whatever he was about to ask. He had always been drawn to shiny, beautiful things he couldn’t afford. ... AKA soft boys falling in love

24. ✸With these ropes I tied, we can do no wrong - 31k -

In the darkness of Wayne Manor, two men will realize it’s love between them. Five miles away, a woman attempts to recover the love she lost.

Or, Jason gets pregnant. Dick has no idea. Jason also has no idea.

25. ✸Biological Imperative - 29k -

“The Pit affects many things.”

“Are you saying…”

Talia burst into bright laughter on the other end of the line. As a beta, her scent had always been delicate. It changed only slightly with her ovulation. Now Jason was discovering the difference between a beta and omega’s scents and cycles.

“What the fuck, Talia!?” he whisper-yelled into the phone.

The beginning, written second. I had an idea to flesh this series out. I hope there's more. There definitely could be...

26. ✸Flirt - 21k - Dick is flirting outrageously, Jay is refusing to believe it's intentional, and Tim…well, Tim is alternately laughing and two seconds away from physically shaking Jay by the shoulders in frustration.

Oh yes, and Dick and Jay also accidentally get stuck pantomiming marital bliss at a resort for a case.

27.✸ An appropriate language - 23k - Dick and Jason finally learn to communicate, and Tim gets an education.

28. ✸Jason Todd's guide to gardening - 22k -

“Dick invited you to a party with his coworkers. How is that a problem?”

“It’s a Valentine’s Day party.”

Tim paused his typing to give Jason a long, searching look. “How do you get yourself into these situations?”

-OR-

The stages of Dick and Jason’s blossoming relationship.

29. ✸Spitting up daisies...again - 20k -

So here Jason was: dying again. The only bastard in history lucky enough to catch Hanahaki twice for the same damn schmuck of a man.

Or: Fifteen-year-old Jason Todd catches Hanahaki Disease over the unattainable and older Dick Grayson, dies, comes back to life, and promptly falls flat on his face for Dick Grayson . . . again. There are some things you can't make up.

30. ✸It's not a secret, you just haven't noticed it yet - 23k -

Jason and Dick have been together for a while, and they haven't been hiding it either...well, maybe in the beginning when they were still feeling things out, sure, but it's been long since then and they have both been relatively open about their relationship. They keep things professional of course, never letting their private lives mix with their work or get in the way of family affairs but as far as they're aware, their exclusivity is no secret.

At least that's what they assumed.

Here's a few times Jason and Dick were open and obvious about their relationship and the Bats missed it, and the 1 time they couldn't

31. ✸I Think You're ______ - 19k - It wasn’t even until he was home and showered that he realized the word on his wrist had changed. It had been “Distant” for a few years now, and he’d been rather curious about who had made that opinion since he thought he acted quite friendly with most people he met, but had never been able to figure it out. Now Dick wasn’t sure that they didn’t mean literally far away, because the word “Annoying” was written in neat writing across his wrist where Distant had been.

32.✸ my place is not deliberate - 18k - “What’s it look like I’m doing? I’m watching TV,” he shrugged, tearing his eyes away from the screen only to flash Jason a lopsided smile full of chocolate-covered teeth.

“No,” Jason said irritably, narrowing his eyes at Dick’s wilful obtuseness, “I meant, why the fuck are you at the Manor? Shouldn’t you be out breakin’ some misguided girl’s heart or whatever it is that you normally do on Valentine’s Day?”

— or: five times Dick and Jason accidentally spend Valentine’s Day together, and one time they don’t.

33. ✸I'm a goddamn mess for you to clean up, but I like it - 15k -

Sometimes meet-cutes happen at hidden bookshops on a rainy day with coffee and oversized sweaters, and sometimes meet-cutes happen while you're breaking into your neighbor’s apartment after a drug deal gone wrong with 2 pints of blood less than you started the night off with.

OR

How Jason Todd, notorious crime boss of Gotham City, fell in love with Dick Grayson, AKA Nightwing, in one night.

34. ✸The undateable Jason Todd - 19k -

“So are you and Jason… together?” Dick had asked.

“Me? And Jason?” Artemis laughed lightly. “Anyone and Jason? Goddess, that is too funny.”

Dick had laughed it off then too, but after he had parted ways with the Outlaws, he couldn't get Artemis’ words out his mind.

It just didn't seem fair. Surely Jason Todd couldn't be completely undateable, could he? Dick wasn't sure why, but he wanted to find out. -- OR that fic in which Dick tries his hand at playing matchmaker who turns creepy stalker, misunderstandings happen because poor communication is a thing, and both Dick and Jason are more clueless than they should be.

35. ✸Future Nostalgia - 17k - A mysterious stranger suddenly appears in the midst of battle wearing a familiar Bat crest, but more importantly, a familiar face.

Dick is thrown off kilter, struggling to figure out what it means for him and Jason now that he is face to face with Jason's son.

36. ✸Guess who's coming to dinner - 17k - The holidays are an uneventful time for Jason Todd.

With nothing better to do, Jason makes an ad offering his "services" to any poor soul who wants to spend Thanksgiving with him. He can be that obnoxious boyfriend your parents hate, and his only payment? Food.

There's one catch: he never expected anyone to seriously answer back.

37. ✸Will you let me in? Please, come in - 16k -

Raising a hand, he beckoned Dick towards him and delectation filled his veins when his– the alpha smiled, took his hand and kissed it like a damn gentleman before going to him. Jason hid his flushing face so Dick wouldn't see his stupid, lovestruck smile. He didn't expect to be turned around, for Dick to cradle his face with both hands — now bare and warm — and gaze at it quietly, tenderly, even lovingly if Jason permitted himself to hope. He didn't.

Or, Jason unexpectedly goes into heat and has to accept Dick's help in getting somewhere safe. Dick tries to be supportive but can't resist the allure of the subject of his hidden desires. Meanwhile, Jason desperately fights against the hope of becoming something else with the only person he'll ever want.

Top pic is like "spideypool expection" and then bottom pic is "Spideypool reality"

Except wade is an unreliable narrator and only really thinks he's worthy of being a hero type or affection with his mask on vs peter who actually thinks the oppisite.

I said what I said. They're both unreliable tbh
