Nightwing Goes Off The RAILS | Tentatodd Jason Todd Is A Tentacle Monster

Like What I Do Support The Channel On Kofi
ko-fi.com/casuallycomics
Jason Todd was once a tentacle monster. This storyline was a brief moment in mid aughts Nightwing following Infinite Crisis. Brothers in Blood was a story from the One Year Later event where each comic jumped forward a year in time. DC Comics had been flirting with the idea of killing off Dick Grayson, but not the role of Nightwing. While that ultimately did not happen it did lead to a world of two Nightwings, and a tentacle monster. Many remember the second Robin for his return to life as Red Hood but some also remember this moment. Find out how it all came about here on Casually Comics!

Favourite Robin and why??

[@malikhansen95]

Jarro the Star Wonder, because the image of batman hugging an alien starfish is funny.

Jason Todd, because it was like Punisher + Winter Soldier + Batman

[@darkmask5933]

I have to say, "Tentatodd" is one of the most Silver Age things I've ever seen in the more modern comics. Like seriously, the hero just turns into an alien tentacle monster for 24-hours and then it just wears off and no one ever talks about it again? That is classic Superman Red Kryptonite shenanigans right there!

The whole "original" concept of OYL that DiDio posted recently is just wild. Besides Jason as Nightwing (and Dick being dead), you had Cassandra Cain sacrificing her life to resurrect Stephanie Brown, and Conner Kent embracing his Lex Luthor side. Like, WTF?!

Awww Cass sacrificing herself to save her girlfriend? Sweet Seriously though wtf

[@brianaweight2435]

I remember this story too well, but for completely different reasons. The moment when Jason is hallucinating and telling Dick that he is scared stuck with me. That this was after Under the Red Hood and that there was so much left unsaid between them. It makes me think about their dynamic as brothers and their histories. Of Dick feeling like he never got the chance to be a proper big brother to Jason because he was fighting with Bruce at the time. And Jason always looking up to Dick but always being seen as just a replacement. This story could have focused on their relantionship and how they viewed each other after Jason's resurrection. Dick wanting to finally be there for Jason and Jason wanting the comfort of his family. But this story was all over the place, with characters and ideas. The storyline before this, (I think memory is not perfect), is a flashback to Dick getting fired and becoming Nightwing. That was also a crazy story. Nightwing around Infinite Crisis was really all over the place.

[@lonemotheo1964]

An interesting angle they could've taken for why Jason became nightwing would just be to troll and hangout with Dick... They could've explored the whole sibling dynamic of the younger brother annoying the older brother just to hang out with him in a superhero fashion If DC wanted a place for Jason they could've just made him a full on menace to the DC universe like Deadpool or Loki... Especially Loki were he's sometimes a villian sometimes a good guy just causing problems on both sides

[@tomorrow4eva]

Being an annoying younger brother seems on-brand for Jason.

[@marcofioretti6908]

How is Jason not shocked or terrified at all at the fact he can turn into grotesque body horror?!?!?!

[@CMWaters]

1)Probably just one of those things you expect to happen in the hero business 2)He did die and come back to life, so who knows how that effects your mind.

[@Nightman221k]

“Eh? I just roll with it. The stories I heard from Jimmy Olsen make this look like a walk in the park.” Jason

[@vwts]

He’s just generally nuts I guess

[@angrytheclown801]

"Bruce adopted a starfish alien. Once that enters your life good luck surprising me. I just hope this time I don't grow teeth out my butt next time."

[@bgvo4373]

Does anyone else find it annoying that, despite clearly being in the same age group as or slightly older than Tim Drake (who debuted a year or so after his death), since being revived, Jason’s been portrayed as either in Dick and Barbara’s age ranges or slightly younger. Realistically, he should still be a teenager, but I guess Red Hood’s not very threatening as a teenage anti-hero.

[@PosthumanHeresy]

I've personally always read it more as Jason at 23ish and Dick and Barbara at 29 or so. 25 and 32 when they have been allowed to age for a bit.

[@clerkwithamouth]

Straight up, the setup for a good Dick & Jason story was right there. All you needed to do was keep things focused on the two of them, show their different styles of crime fighting, how effective or not each take is, the public opinion on each, DROP JACOB ALL TOGETHER, and have them team up to fight the Pierce brothers at the end. They need to remake this story somehow because it has the potential to be a great one off. Maybe adapt into an animated movie with a lot of changes.

[@tomorrow4eva]

And get rid of all the secret identity spoilers. I'm sure Bruce sneezes every time one of his kids calls another by real name when in a costume.

[@tskmaster3837]

It's really amazing how Todd knows the transformation is only temporary. Where did he get his Mad Scientist doctorate, PU?

[@rasheedsanders1067]

This is a piece of Jason Todd lore that is forever seared into my brain now.

[@ghartman56]

I'm not going to pretend I've researched this opinion, but I wish Jason Todd as a character had...a character. An agreed-upon set of traits that makes it feel like you can tell whether the way he acts in a specific storyline is in-character or not. I'm not claiming to know the perfect characterization of Jason, but that's kinda my point. It seems like there are some writers who have a firm and complex sense of who they think Jason is and then other writers just go "idk he's angry, violent, and died before, so slot him into whatever needs craziness and killing", especially considering how often his character is brought 'back to basics'. I'd argue his character seems more consistent across the extremely broad range of fanfiction writers than it is among the DC-appointed writers of comics involving him, which is wild. It's a shame. He would be really compelling if the default for writers without a clear vision for him wasn't just "lol killing and chaos go brrr".

[@marvelprince]

This was such a weird time in comics. The One Year Later Outsiders also read really weird because the Nightwing in that title was clearly supposed to be Jason, but they changed their minds last minute and just switched the names back so you had oddities like Dick as Nightwing threatening Superman with kryptonite.

[@fredcampbell4066]

The name Nightwingers is more then enough of a reason to say no.

[@kylecarter1599]

I clicked on this out of the notifications tab without looking at the thumbnail. And what the actual fuck is happening? Tentatodd? What the blue happy hell is happening?

[@kylecarter1599]

I've watched this three times and I still don't know how I feel about Tentatodd. I'm equal parts horrified, confused, intrigued, and wanting to kill it with fire.

[@Keinish79]

I would like to see a comic with them both teaming up to be Nightwing, in a way to keep their identities secret and support each other. Something like what they did with Crimson Fox.

[@rouenrobinson]

For some reason this reminds me of when Frank Castle became his own twisted version of Captain America to honor Steve Rogers lol

[@TheOnlyTherazan]

4:50 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but Jason here is practically 1 step away from changing his name and asking everybody to call him Rick.

[@cyclopsboxhead5318]

Can't wait for this to be brought up in banter between these two bros like Jason's death was that one time.

[@Sandra-rc5uc]

The reasoning for killing Dick in Infinite Crisis is just bizarre. DC just has to accept that Batman has to be at least in his early 40s at this point. It's not the end of the world and the fans know it anyway. Also, killing Nightwing to bring Batman and Superman together is very disrespectful imo. Nightwing is his own hero. It's similar with Ric. They shot Nightwing in the head - derailing his comic for almost two years - so Bruce could feel some man pain for 3 issues. It's annoying for someone who likes Batman but will always be more of a Nightwing-fan.

[@user-so9lu9eq8c]

I always ignored the aging because.. who cares? I think Scott snyder solved the problem in endgame but dumping him in that not a Lazarus pit. Which he stole from a batman beyond. episode.

[@EnerKaizer]

not correct. even if we take the shortest time-spans for the important events Bruce would now need to be, at least, between 49-51 years old. It's almost like the story would need to move on from Bruce in the cowl, but naaaaaaah, lets reboot 100 times again before we do the logical choice.

[@WhiteRaven696]

Did they ever retcon the whole “Jason had an affair with Talia post-resurrection” thing? It’s kinda gross to think he’s technically his brother’s (Damian) stepdad.

[@hope-cat4894]

Which means he also banged his adoptive father's baby momma. 😂 Between that and Bruce hooking up with Barbara (who's Dick's ex/girlfriend), the Bat-family tree is turning into a Christmas wreath. 😅

This just makes me think, "yeah, sharing a crime fighting persona every other night sounds way healthier!" Just another example of plot complications actually being good.

[@TheRealLemur]

Honestly the pre new 52 era for Jason is probably his most interesting. After UTRH they didnt really know what to do with him. So here's an era where they're doing anything and everything with him. From red hood and scatlet, to the green arrow appearances and now this. I get why a lot of this was retconned away with new 52 but still a neat bit of history for the character

[@sinnerssandwich4140]

I remember Tentatodd bc my friend who knew I had a crush on Jason once gave me this comic as a gift. She even left a note on the last page jokingly asking "Would you still let him hit it?"

[@WannabeWryter]

This is 1 of those stories that people bring up when they ask "Why is Jason considered part of the bat family? Remember when he did this" I understand. Yeah, they kind of toned it down, Since back then, I think DC was trying to play up that the lazuras pit was responsible since it makes you crazy. Also, more fans like bat bros together than they do apart. Plus, we live in the age of the anti-hero, where Robins who walked the grey line like Redhood and Damian are definitely more popular than genuine good boys like Nightwing and Tim Drake. BATFAM 4 LIFE

[@tomorrow4eva]

The beautiful thing about a bigger Batfam is that there are more people for a reader to connect with. If one doesn't resonate, another one probably will.

[@LakinMae5]

Just like any family, you get the black sheep, Jason just happens to be that to the Bat Fam!

[@kyleshultz5481]

I shouldn’t be surprised by this. I shouldn’t be surprised by anything anymore. But I am. Very much so. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE

[@seeleunit2000]

You know, it would be interesting if Jason had his original red hair color back in addition to having him just hanging out with Dick and Tim. It would be interesting just to see more of their sibling dynamic. Plus, it would be neat to see a former sidekick without black hair (and yes I know Stephanie Brown is an exception, but she's mentioned less than Tim).

[@paultapner2769]

I know I read this when it came out. I know I threw my copies of the issues into the recycling bin not long after. I couldn't remember why. Now I think I know. Love that wig. The length of it is really quite eye catching.

[@Sandra-rc5uc]

I've read every Nightwing solo issue and I think this is the worst run of them all. The Dick&Jason-relationship could have been interesting but it was so badly and bizarrely executed. I sympathize with the creative team though because they must have reworked that story idea pretty late when Dick didn't end up dying in Infinite Crisis (thank God).

[@user-so9lu9eq8c]

I remember this story. I read it for free in my college bookstore. It was not a good era for Nightwing.

"One Year Later" is a helluva rollercoaster ride of amazing stories to WTH?! You have this, Wonder Woman, Robin, and Hawkgirl's stories are all memorable for their awful stories. Then you have Superman, Green Lantern, and Birds of Prey which were stellar restarts or interesting premises.

[@trevorwooten9485]

I'm really glad I missed this entire storyline and that no one tries to reintroduce it. It's like, since Didio couldn't kill Nightwing in the DC Universe, he was going to kill the book's sales.

[@omshiva3599]

Another great summary. Fun and clever as always! I would love it if you could create a video featuring Lady Nightwing. She seems like a complementary character in the world of Batgirl of Burnside. I personally would have loved to see this arc play out while Bruce Wayne was lost in time and Dick and Damien became Batman and Robin. After losing the Battle of the Cowls Jason decides not to be Red Hood or Batman and settles to become the new Nightwing. When Bruce returns, there could be this battle of the two Nightwings, while still dramatizing that these former Robins have a fondness for each other. A less violent Red Hood could return tentatively to the Bat family having gone through his prodigal son phase of vigilantism.

[@Dougeb7]

Is that a "note" or a telegram she's reading? Why all the stops? That's how a telegram would be read. Telegrams also had holes on both sides (at least some did), but most notebook paper only has holes on the left side. Interestingly, this arc began to be published in May, 2006, and Western Union had just sent its last telegram at the end of January, just over two months prior. It made the news. If that is indeed a telegram, I wonder if the writer read the news story and placed it in the story as an homage? In any case, I really enjoyed the video! Thanks for another fun ride!

[@barq6994]

Not enough people know about the original Crisis on Infinite Earths sequel, Legends

[@frogmouth2]

You were talking about Jason’s place at the start. Imo I think he works as a villain pretty well in his initial “under the hood” arc but if he just stayed dead after that, I think that would have been better. Aside from being edgy and having trauma, he doesn’t really bring a lot to the table I feel. He works better as a permanent reminder of Batman’s failures.

[@tomorrow4eva]

But what was Batman's failure? To me, it was failing to listen and connect as Jason's father figure. If Jason had felt secure and that he could trust Bruce, he would have come to him with the information about a birth mother instead of running off. Instead, Bruce seems to twist it into "I didn't teach him not to be reckless". So leaving Jason dead means Bruce never has to confront his ego-centric view of what happened. It also leaves Bruce open to making the same mistake with other people he mentors/adopts. Jason being alive again provides a great opportunity to question the stories Bruce tells himself and others. Batman, the logical thinker, is not a reliable narrator. Of course DC is squandering this. I have not seen any stories where Batman/Bruce asks Jason what happened. Instead the comics are written as though Batman's experience is objective truth. There is a great opportunity here for Bruce to grow as a character, learning to listen more and to check in with his family members and let them know that he appreciates and trusts them.

[@denial987]

And now there are too many Krpytonians again. We have Connor Kent, Jon Kent, Supergirl, the two twins from Kandor, Steel, Cyborg Superman, Eradicator, Superwoman, Matrix Supergirl, Linda Danvers Supergirl and Natasha Irons as Steel 2 plus General Zod, Doomsday, Bizarro Superman and Bizarro Superboy.

[@DaellusKnights]

Seems to me the story would have had more gravitas if they'd gone for the "fractured-mirror" trope. Kinda like, Jason just returned to life and he hasn't fully pieced himself back together yet. His history with Dick would have made an excellent latching-point plotwise. And no Tentatodd (ew!). I mean, it was amusing, but it didn't progress the story in any meaningful way. Favorite Robin? Damian! (because... well, because DAMIAN!) 😜🤣

I just wish someone would do something actually interesting with Jason Todd again. Like, he’s been stuck in this endless loop of anti-hero to anti-villain for the past ten years and it’s gotten exhausting at this point. If you ask me, I think he should leave Gotham and go on a crime-fighting road trip - he can still be on good terms with the Batfamily, but he needs to spend some time away from them and carve out his own identity, in my opinion.

[@EnerKaizer]

This is exactly what happened in the rebirth run of Red-Hood & the Outlaws, with Jason forming a team with Artemis and a Bizarro. Really good series, and yes, it also dealt with jasons and Dicks relationship as brothers. But yeah, everything went up in flames once Didio returned, because of course it did

Okay... my better way to do it is not have Nightwing DIE in Infinite Crisis but either be left comatose or Nightwing (and maybe Superboy with him) going full on Quinn Mallory from Sliders exploring the new limited multiverse. Maybe make that a new book called... I don't know... World's Finest. I like the second idea better for well... reasons. It is seeing what Dick did to save everyone that makes Jason want to abandon the Red Hood. He wants to redeem himself but doesn't know how... until through either Superboy-Prime time burps or Order of Saint Dumas/Rhas Al Ghul shenagains, he meets ANOTHER pretender to the Nightwing mantle, who is eventually revealed to be Jean-Paul Valley. He took the name Nightwing to try to shake off the stigma of the Azrael name. Jean-Paul tells him, there is only one last step he must take to earn his own redemption. Batman believed in him even when no one else did. Jason is EXACTLY where Jean-Paul was emotionally at the end of the Azbat mess. So he says: 'I am going to take the same chance on you that Bruce did on me. I''ll even embrace my demons by becoming the burning angel again. But if you screw up again, I'll take it back.' So they fight crime together... until Dick returns. (He'd get separated from Superboy somehow.... maybe he gets Kryptonite poisoning or something, so he winds up with one of the three Legions again and gets returned home that way.
