User blog comment:ScarletWhisper/No Red Hood In Season 2/@comment-5188108-20121002220024

Though I fully believed Jason had been Robin on Earth-16, before this tweet - even before Satisfaction - I didn't think Jason would 'return' in season two, or that he should. It's hard to say who is or isn't likely for a season three that doesn't even exist yet while we aren't even half-way though season two, but there's fan interest, there's creative interest ("I wish we had the room for him"), and, in my opinion, strong story potential. I hope we see him. But my continued viewership is hardly contingent on that.

I think there are plenty of interesting things they could do with Jason. There are some key differences, both in what we know of his life on Earth-16 and in the type of story Young Justice tells, that could very naturally lead to a somewhat different Jason than we know from UTRH and the comics:


 * The Batfamily dynamic is different. Bruce is more emotionally aware (if not necessarily available) than many versions. Greg has told us Dick never had the falling out with Bruce he did in the comics, and I can't see Dick moving to Bludhaven before he was 18. Which probably means Dick and Jason were closer.
 * Jason was a member of the Team. He wasn't a member of any such group in the comics (I think?). That opens up a load of new relationships to explore - I could see him getting along very well with Artemis and Rocket. Kaldur... not so much.
 * Under The Red Hood, as Tupka said, was a Bruce and Jason story. But Young Justice isn't a Batman show. If they bring Jason back it'd surely be a Dick and Jason story foremost. Probably some focus on Tim, too. It's also where the point above comes in. That's not to say Batman wouldn't be heavily involved, but they'd never just retell UTRH with YJ characters.
 * YJ doesn't do much in the way of stand-alones. If Jason comes back, there's a 90+% chance it'll be a via Lazarus Pit, and that means Ra's, which means the Light. Jason's story wouldn't just be his own, but part of a larger one.

Taking all that into account, it'd be hard for them not to come up with a fresh take on Jason. Perhaps even a Hood-less one. And I'd like to see that.
