So here I am. A "hero"? A "villain"? I'm the guy who can do the things that Batman can't... become someone that Batman won't. Am I the man Bruce wanted me to become? Not even close. But someday soon he'll realize... I'm exactly who he needs.

Synopsis for "Red Hood and the Outlaws: Rebirth"

Jason Todd recalls his journey from homelessness to meeting Batman, his adoption of the moniker Robin and protecting Gotham City from villainy. In the present Red Hood arranges a meeting with the mayor by crashing his motorbike into the middle of a rally; as he levels his gun at the mayor, the Batman swoops in and the two duel with Jason gaining the upper hand by cheating, the last thing Batman sees is Jason punching the guard and a gunshot.

An hour later Jason watches the news coverage from a local villain bar where the bartender unknowingly warns Jason about the Joker who previously wore the Red Hood and leading to a flashback of Jason's death at the hands of the killer clown. His reminiscence is interrupted by a man in a black gimp mask who invites Jason to Black Mask's new False Face Society.

Returning to his base, Jason finds Batman stood before his supercomputer who reveals that he knows about how Jason tranquillised the guards and shot the mayor with a cure, not a bullet. The two enter an uneasy truce but for Jason that is the world.
