Synopsis: The truth behind Jason Todd's resurrection is revealed.

Thoughts: This is the perfect example of why compression isn't always a good thing. Jason's rebirth, struggle to regain control of his life and realization that Batman did next to nothing to avenge his death could and should have led to a heartbreaking tale — one that could have justified Jason's vengeful actions. But instead of spreading the story out over four to six issues, Winick jammed it all into 48 pages. The result is a choppy, rushed and sadly forgettable story that needlessly ties into Infinite Crisis and has several glaring plot holes.
