The character has made appearances in several forms of media outside of comics, including television series and video games. Since his return, he operates as the Red Hood in current DC Comics continuity.
Todd was resurrected in 2005's " Under the Hood" story arc and became the new Red Hood, an antihero with a willingness to use lethal force and weapons. Subsequent Batman stories dealt with Batman's guilt over not having been able to save him. The poll ended with a narrow majority of votes in favor of killing Todd, resulting in his death. This negative reception led to DC Comics holding a telephone poll in 1988's " A Death in the Family" storyline to determine whether or not the character would die at the hands of the Joker, Batman's nemesis. Though initially popular, the character as written by Jim Starlin was not well received by fans following the revamping of his origin by Max Allan Collins in Batman #408–409. Initially sharing a similar origin to Grayson, subsequent portrayals commonly depict Todd as an orphaned street delinquent with a troubled past, whom Batman attempts to reform and mentor. First appearing in Batman #357 (March 1983), Todd was created to succeed Dick Grayson, the original Robin, as Batman's vigilante partner. He is the second character to assume the role of Robin and the second and best-known character to take up the Red Hood alias.
