Batman: The Brave and the Bold (DCU)

Three years after the death of Jason Todd, Batman continues protecting Gotham alongside Nightwing, Robin, and Oracle, but the loss has left Bruce increasingly overprotective and emotionally distant from his family. His world is disrupted when Talia al Ghul brings his eleven-year-old biological son, Damian Wayne, to Gotham. Raised by the League of Shadows and trained to kill, Damian struggles to understand his father's refusal to take a life. At the same time, a mysterious vigilante known as the Red Hood begins executing Gotham's most dangerous criminals. As Batman investigates, he discovers the shocking truth: Red Hood is Jason Todd, resurrected after his murder by the Joker. Jason has returned determined to end Gotham's cycle of violence by eliminating the criminals Batman refuses to kill. With Lady Shiva and the League of Shadows becoming involved, Gotham descends into chaos while Bruce's fear of losing another child causes him to push Dick and Tim away. The conflict reaches its breaking point when Jason captures the Joker and forces Batman to confront the person responsible for his death. Jason gives Bruce the opportunity to kill the Joker, arguing that Batman's code has accomplished nothing but allowing innocent people to suffer. When Bruce refuses, Jason prepares to kill Joker himself, leading to a brutal confrontation between father and son. Damian arrives and nearly executes the Joker, but Bruce challenges him to recognize that killing is not justice. Damian ultimately lowers his sword and chooses his father's philosophy over the teachings of Talia and the League. Jason escapes after destroying the warehouse, leaving his fate uncertain. In the aftermath, Damian chooses to remain with Bruce and becomes the new Robin, while the Bat-Family begins rebuilding its fractured relationships. However, the final scene reveals that Jason survived, watching the Bat-Signal from a Gotham rooftop—still conflicted about Batman, but not yet finished with his mission.
