Notes
- The concept of the Red Hood was created by Bill Finger where it made its first appearance in Detective Comics v1 #168 (February, 1951).
- On the Infinite Crisis hardcover, Jeanine Schaefer spoke about Geoff Johns original plans for the character, "Well, Geoff's idea was to have Red Hood be the Jason Todd of Earth-Two. So he'd be this kid, who wanted to be Batman's sidekick. He sneaks into the Batcave, and the first thing he sees as he boots up the bat-computers is ... Batman murdered. And so he uses Bruce's stuff, training himself to take over for him. I think there was even talk of his possibly being Deathstroke's Robin."
