    Jason Todd was the second Robin, until he was brutally murdered by the Joker. After he was resurrected, Jason learned Batman didn't avenge his death.

    Jason shows up with Dick and Tim to help against Terminus. Why? It goes completely against his character to help Bruce - that's why it was a big deal during the Night of the Owls. And how did he even hear Bruce needed help? Unless the other Robins gave him a call?

    He's kind of "friends" with Tim, so he probably ask for a favor i haven't read the issue yet so I'm just guessing

    I was annoyed at the lack of explanation for his appearance.

    That being said. Jason does still pursue justice and fight the good fight, just in a different manner to Bruce, so he could've easily gone to the scene of his own accord and bumped into the others whilst there.

    I don't like him working with the Bat Family but it seems like that is going to be the case going forward as his popularity continues to grow.Especially since Scott Synder likes him

    Well, we don't really know Jason's stance on Bruce in the N52... maybe it's like a silent treatment kind of thing.

    He's said a few times in the DCnU that he resents Bruce and doesn't like being around him. He's still pissed he didn't do anything to the Joker for killing him.

    Its possible he just randomly turned up but his focus isn't really on justice - its sort of on his needs and avenging his trainers.

    Plus the main thing - he's in space at the moment!!

    I don't really care since it looked pretty damn spectacular to see Bruce's "children" in action together.

    He still resents Bruce in the new 52

    its a great idea for red hood to be with the bat family he's just like you older brother you never see that is angry at the family. I think hes going to have a important role during the later issues and the jokers coming back this is something we have to see

    Jason answered a call to arms from The Bat Family twice so far with the time in question being number two. So I'd say it's a new world and a new Jason Todd as far as willingness to work alongside them
