moss6886 and I haven't been reading comics for a couple years (Moss lasted a bit longer than that). And this weekend she decided to catch up on Nightwing. After doing so, she disclosed the following spoiler for some unkown other Batverse comic...JASON TODD IS ALIVE?!?!?! WTF?! When the fuck did this happen?
More to the point, how the fuck did this happen? Help!
Um. In case I've lost you, Jason Todd was the second Robin. He was a 12-year-old street thief that Bruce Wayne actually adopted instead of just taking in. Many people found him annoying, and (relatively speaking) he didn't last very long. The Joker beat him to death with a crowbar in... I want to say early '80s?
His adoption and subsequent death were huge events in the Batman & Nightwing character arcs. The Death in the Family arc trade paperback was on of the first comic books I ever read.
So how does a not-terribly-liked human, with no superpowers or noteworthy connections, come back from the dead after twenty years? (Okay, closer to five in DC canon. Still.)
