Jason Todd is reawakened from death; as he is taken care of byTalia al Ghul, he plans to take revenge on those who hurt him in life.
Talia finds Jason on the streets of Gotham after Jason’s resurrection. She cares for Jason while he is catatonic, and eventually throws him into aLazarus Pit. Jason's mind is healed, but he is deeply hurt by thecircumstances of his death.Batman had replaced him asRobin and failed to kill theJoker after the Joker killed Jason. Jason tries to kill Batman at first, but can't find it within himself to go through with it. Instead, he spends the next few years training under the various teachers Talia sends him to, usually killing them afterwards. Jason intends to return to Gotham and have Batman kill the Joker as recompense for Jason's death.
