Last seen scowling at the airport when Donny Troy's body was being sent back to the Amazons, Todd had clearly lost all affinity for his teammates at the end of Titans Season 2. It's no surprise, then, that Jason Todd is officially taking on the role of Red Hood in Season 3, with his sights set on beating his former team. However, with pictures showing how the vigilante will look in Season 3, it's clear this costume is doing away with his comic origins and focusing more on how the DC Universe TV show altered the hot-headed soldier in Batman's war on crime.

In the comics, the Joker killed Jason, who at the time was Robin, during 1988's "Death in the Family." Jason remained dead for more than a decade. However, he officially returned to the DC Universe in 2004's Batman: Under the Red Hood. Now known as Red Hood, Jason wore plain grey armor without any real symbol on it. This was, in part, meant to hide his identity. Later, during the New 52 relaunch, Jason revealed his identity and began cleaning up crime with the Outlaws. His new costume featured a red Bat-symbol on the chest, which was meant to signal his attempt at reformation while showing the Dark Knight how he should be going about vigilante justice.

This new costume allowed Jason to remain connected to the Bat-family and his past as Robin while also charting a future for himself. But by wearing this symbol, Jason reminded Batman, as well as the audience, of the Dark Knight's failure to protect the sidekick from Joker.

In the Titans pictures, Jason isn't wearing any symbol, showing he has no affiliation to the Bat-family anymore. He didn't like how Bruce shipped him off to Dick and that he wouldn't let Jason go about things his own bloody way. Jason thought he might have had leeway with Dick, but he too made it clear he wouldn't condone Jason becoming the very monsters they fought against. So the lack of a traditional Bat-logo signifies he doesn't want any connection to their philosophies. It's basically a symbolic middle-finger and makes clear Jason wants to prove he's the better hero.

But through this narcissism and ego, by breaking away from everyone in the show, he won't have them to lean on when the trauma starts getting to him. He doesn't consider Bruce a father nor Dick a brother, and seeing as Rose/Ravager (Jason's ex) is buying into their methods as well, Jason firmly believes the lack of insignia means he's killing the past and becoming what Bruce and Dick were always afraid to be: judge, jury and executioner. However, by thinking this is resistance and he's a rebel, Jason may be forgoing the one thing that kept his humanity and sanity intact as this symbol's more than a moral compass: it's the sense of family he never had after losing his parents.
