The problem with writing about the cancellation of DC’s Red Hood is it’s impossible to write about in a vacuum.

You can’t write about the cancellation of Red Hood without writing about Jason Todd, the second Robin, the one who perennially finds himself on the outs with the Bat family for his brooding, murder-boy nature. He’s not as loyal as Dick. He’s not as smart as Tim. He’s not as related to Bruce as Damian. Therefore he must kill.

You can’t write about the cancellation of Red Hood without writing about Gretchen Felker-Martin, an accomplished trans sci-fi horror novelist whom DC brought in to write this comic about this Bat-bad boy and his friend the Huntress, another Bat character whose whole deal is revenge but with abs.

You can’t write about Felker-Martin without writing about what she posted on Bluesky the day Red Hood was canceled.

You can’t write about what Felker-Martin posted on Bluesky without writing about how quickly DC erased Red Hood from existence. You can’t find it on Lunar. You can’t find it on League of Comic Geeks. You can’t find it on Midtown Comics. You can’t find a comic that, officially, no longer exists.
