This current earned run average ofDC Comicshas brought braggy changes forRed Hood , making it finally time for him to apply his most brawny weapon , theAll - Blades , once again . At the end ofBatman : Urban Legends#6 by Chip Zdarsky , Eddy Barrows , Eber Ferreira , Scot Eaton , Julio Ferreira , and Oclair Albert , Jason Todd leave up using gunsin his bodily process as a vigilante , name an incident where he closely orphaned a child from Gotham Narrows after losing his surliness . Since then , he has been seen using crowbar , batarangs , and electric batons alongside his new costume in an endeavour to move aside from using deadly force . And while Red Hood was already using pry before theInfinite Frontierera even started , it is fourth dimension to reassess what they think for him in his current flight . In many ways , Red Hood has been defined by the weapon that he chooses to use , perhaps more so than any other phallus of the Bat - Family , and the All - Blades would be a bluff choice to symbolize his character growth from the past few months .
What is unequaled about the All - Blades in comparison to Red Hood ’s other weapons is that they are powered by magic . earlier debuting during theNew-52run ofRed Hood and the Outlaws , theAll - Blades were forged by the All - Caste , a witching radical that were responsible for much of Jason ’s training . What makes them unequalled as weapon is that they are power by the energy from Jason ’s psyche . The All - Blades ' exercise and effectualness have change between Scott Lobdell and James Tynion IV’sNew-52run onRed Hood and the Outlaws , but the end of Tynion ’s run established that they could be used only against sorcerous foe .

compare to his other artillery , the All - Blades are one of the only pieces in Red Hood ’s armoury that belong all to him . His gun for hire are an act of rebellion against Batman ’s " no guns " rule , while his pry bar are a dark character to the weapon that the Joker used to kill him when he was Batman ’s Robin . This leaves him only with the All - Blades and the katana that he used throughout thelatter part of hisRebirthrun . With DC making a concerted attempt inInfinite Frontierto fete the singularity of Jason Todd ’s character , bringing back the All - Blades would be an efficacious fashion to not only excavate into another part of his publication story , but also expand his purpose within the DC Universe .
The All - Blades have a extra significance because of their role inRed Hood ’s defeat of Ra ’s al GhulinRed Hood and the Outlaws#27 ( write by James Tynion IV , pencils by Julius Gopez and Noel Rodriguez , ink by Sandu Florea , Walden Wong , and Dan Green , colors by Nei Ruffino , and letter by Travis Lanham ) . Over the line of their combat , Ra ’s tease Jason by say that he would never be in full control of himself , leading Red Hood to declare that he was done agonise over whether or not people would ever observe him worthy of buyback . Jason defeat Ra ’s with the All - Blades , and the government issue is a defining moment in Red Hood ’s outgrowth as an unapologetically troubled character .
The All - Blades have empowered Red Hood to do commodity in the yesteryear , and also move him away fromhis reputation as a Joker dupe . Because Jason can utilise them as non - lethal weapon , they would be a suitable replacement for the crowbar . The crowbar may typify the evil that Red Hood experienced from a immature eld , but the story of the All - Blades points towards a more bright future for the character reference . Either agency , there has never been a more talkative clock time forRed Hoodin DC Comics than now , and incorporating theAll - Bladesinto this new era could sincerely exemplify the principle ofInfinite Frontier .
