Years ago, Ra’s al Ghul, the Demon’s Head, had been intrigued by Batman’s grief. To curry favor, he had used a Lazarus Pit—a mystical resurrection pool—to restore Jason Todd to life. But resurrection had a cost. The Pit’s green fire heals the body but scalds the soul. Jason clawed his way out of the earth, feral and confused. He wandered Gotham’s streets for a year, a ghost without a memory, until Talia al Ghul found him and helped him rebuild. She trained him, sharpened his fury into a weapon. And when he finally remembered everything—the crowbar, the warehouse, the laughter of the Joker—he understood one terrible truth.
"I saved you," Batman said. "From becoming a murderer."
"Oh, this is beautiful!" the Joker shrieked. "The little bird came back to peck out Daddy’s eyes! I knew you had it in you, Jason. I made you!"
"You chose him. Next time, I won’t give you a choice."
Match: 94.7% – Jason Todd. Bruce refused to believe it. He dug up the grave. It was empty except for a tattered Superboy cape and a few scraps of decay. The truth, when it came, was worse than any nightmare.
"You’re predictable," the Hood said, his voice a metallic snarl. "That’s your problem, old man. You save the wrong people."
Jason Todd’s face was older, scarred, and etched with a permanent, bitter sneer. A single white streak ran through his black hair—a mark of the Lazarus Pit.
Batman stood amid the flames, silhouetted like a fallen angel.
