Red Hood Breaks His Pledge to Give Up Firearms in Epic New Cosplay
Recently, Red Hood pledged to Batman he would stop using firearms, but he breaks that promise in epic cosplay. Reddit user Takoyaki67 shared a sample of a recent photoshoot, showing Red Hood going back on his word to Batman by brandishing two guns, firing them at an unspecified target.
Red Hood is Jason Todd, the second Robin. After dying at the hands of the Joker, Todd was revived many years later, taking the name Red Hood and dispensing violent justice on Gotham’s underworld. Red Hood did not hesitate to kill, sometimes using guns. Batman’s distaste for guns is well documented, and for many years this put him at odds with Red Hood.

Red Hood’s recent decisions have led to him being fully welcomed back into the Bat-Family, but an epic new cosplay shows him breaking his vow to Batman.
