In a recent post, Titans actor Curran Walters, who plays Jason Todd, shared a picture with himself in a mall beside a cardboard cut out of Ben Affleck’s Batman.
The image shows the Titans actor next to the Batman image throwing the peace sign. Behind the two are a collection of Funko pops. In the caption with the photo, Curran Walters mentions that he ran into him at the mall:
Ran into this guy at the mall @BenAffleck

From the look of things the actor has a sense of humor.
The character first appeared in the show at the end of the 5th episode before having a more major role in the 6th. In the original comics, Jason Todd is popularly known as the second Robin but proved rather unlikable and was eventually killed off by The Joker in the Batman: A Death in the Family storyline by Jim Starling. He was eventually resurrected as the violent vigilante, Red Hood, who maintains an tense relationship with Batman and the rest of the Bat Family. The version that we see in Titans appears to be Jason Todd during his earlier years before falling victim to the Clown Prince of Crime.
What have you thought of Curran Walters as Jason Todd in Titans? Has he made a decent addition to the cast or is the second Robin a character one that should never have made it to live action? Let us know what you think for the comments below!
