The Ultimate Ending for Red Hood (idea)
I've thought about what Jason's end goal should be. What is he working towards, what's his ultimate satisfying ending.
In looking at what an ending should be for a character, I like to think about their beginnings. For Jason, it's his time as Robin. A lot of people say that Jason becoming Robin is not what he needed like Dick needed to become Robin. I agree with the consensus among a lot of fans that Jason needed a father more than he needed a mentor. He was roped into the world of crime fighting but he wasn't meant to be there.
One detail that is included with his ending should be his reconciliation of his relationship to the rest of the Bat family. Simply just making sure that there is no bad blood between any of them, especially not Batman or Dick. I think this detail is a given, but I'm just gonna say it anyway.
He's established himself as Red Hood, and fought crime in a way that goes against Batman's code. They've always been at odds but one way that he's remained true to the mission is that he always protects children. Even in controlling crime he steers them away from kids, ordering them not to sell to children.
This brings me to the main idea, which is that I think Jason should retire completely from crime fighting. Not going to a different position like Barbara to Oracle from Batgirl, but a real, complete, retirement. Hanging up the Red Hood and living a simple life.
Jason should have a happy ending. I think in an interesting way, he deserves one, even after all the violence he's caused and endured.
Jason should be the head of an orphanage for young boys. Being the father figure he needed to as many young boys as he can. I'd say if he has a wife/partner of some sort she should be a non-superhero, normie if possible, but I could take or leave that detail, that's just what I'm feeling.
He should live out the rest of his life helping out the underprivileged youth of Gotham city. It fits well within Batman's story and gives a complete ending to Jason's.
What do you think? Is it terrible? Is it great? What details would you keep? What would you leave out? Is there any canon details I'm missing out on? I really wanna know what people think of this idea.
(Also I'd love to see some fan art depicting this idea if there any cool artists out there who like this idea)
