Thinking about Jason Todd after watching Under the Red Hood

So I saw Under the Red Hood and liked it. Jensen Ackles is kind of my Jason now and NPH, well we knew he'd be awesome. It's funny how that story makes such a good standalone, yet in the comics in general Jason continues to seem neither here nor there. The movie benefits from having no confusion on this score--Bruce failed him, and he's now his worst nightmare. They even get to polish up the story of Jason's death and resurrection so that they are no longer distractingly confusing and stupid.

( My thoughts on what the story tells us about Jason and what he's about. )
