I hadn't considered the fact that there were designations unaccounted for. (Thank you for mentioning it, Avenger.) One of them could easily have belonged to Jason. The thing is, Jason was unpopular enough for READERS to vote to kill him off. Obviously, most writers and producers would be leary of dealing with a character that like that.

This lead to a VERY brutal death that could never be shown on-screen in the show, so they would need to do take two different approaches with that: Rewrite the manner in which he dies or only reference it, rather than actually depict it. Who knows, we may see the Red Hood yet.
