Introducing Red Topper Jason Todd from the Gotham by Gaslight timeline
- “Topper” is an old slang for top hat, apparently. I wanted it to be reminiscent of the hood he wore during the Grant Morrison era, or even the one in Ninja Batman.
- I turned him from a redhead in the Gaslight universe into his usual brunet
- He’s wearing the same red ascot/scarf as the one he wore as a child from the movie
- It’s not a gun, it’s a grappling hook! Design taken straight from the Batman in this universe. Added some steampunk elements to match.
- Normally, he would have the goggles on to hide his identity
- The Smoking pipe is a reference to Sherlock Holmes (Holmes first appeared in print in 1887, and Jack the Ripper was active in 1888 when the Gaslight story took place) Being a book lover, I bet the novels made quite the impression on him. Yes, Jason also smokes in this timeline, but it’s much classier with a smoke pipe, right?
- The brown letter jacket and bluish shirt/vest has the same color scheme as Rebirth Jason.
- I find it amusing that this is probably one of the “happier” timelines for Jason. In this one, all three “cock-robins” were adopted together, so there wasn’t as much inferiority/replacement complex when he compares himself to the Robins before and after.
- Also, the “brothers” are on extremely good terms, considering “Dickie” probably took care of the younger two when they were living on the streets, and Jason naturally deferred to Dickie’s leadership in the movie
- Considering Bruce and Selena probably got married in this timeline, that means no Damien, but the boys will get a sister in the form of Helena Wayne
