Nowadays, of course, Red Hood is the codename given to Batman’s former sidekick Jason Todd, who fights crime alongside his pals in The Outlaws, Roy Harper (Arsenal) and Starfire.But back in Batman’s earliest days, it was a criminal organization which, in my iterations of the Joker story, is assumed to be responsible for the origin of the Clown Prince of Crime.Not that we’ve dealt with his backstory yet in the New 52, but Batman is an odd animal; the pre-Flashpoint history has reportedly been carried over but they’ve been making changes to it along the way, as dictated by the story.And yet here we are, just days from the start of Batman: The Zero Year, in which the superstar creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo will kick off a major storyline filling in some of the blanks in the backstory of the New 52 Batman. Along the way, reports the New York Post, he’ll run into the Red Hood Gang for the first time.
