My understanding of Jason Todd's age;

Jason dies when he's 15, 4 months before his 16th birthday. He is dead for any number of time; it doesn't count towards his age.

He's resurrected; he is in a coma for 1 year, then catatonic for another. He is then put into a Lazarus Pit. (These 2 years are practically useless, as he doesn't remember them and they contribute very little to the story. They could be condensed to 2 months and it would change basically nothing.)

He trains for about a year. You can then give him 1-12 months of prep and planning time before his debut as the Red Hood, and the story of UT(R)H, at which point he would be mentally 16-17, physically 18-19, and it would be (--) years after his birth.

#my dc posting #jason todd #dc #red hood #i havent read lost days so idk abt the timeline between lazarus pit and debut as red hood #and this isnt strictly about following canon as close as possible. just how i view it in my head #which makes the fandom treatment of the tim vs jason titans tower fight so funny to me. theyre like the same age bro #btw i refuse to take anything about jason somehow growing up/maturing while dead or catatonic/in a fucking coma #like i'm sorry but i refuse to count when he was a literal decomposing corpse ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#i also just find Teenaged Crime Lord funny. your boss tells you not to deal to kids (he's 16) (don't worry about it)#<- to be very clear that is not in an infantilizing way. i am 17 and i can very confidently say i am old enough to be held #responsible for my own actions #it's tragic he is so young but it doesn't absolve him of his bad decisions. such as the Murders #i like jason's age cus it's actually really easy to make him comically young #make him die at 14. very short period between resurrection&lazarus pit. 1 year of training. your 15 year old son takes over the criminal #underground. wyd?#<- anyway these are just some scattered thoughts. ponderings and wonderings and musings. if you disagree w my timeline i'd love to hear it!
