YMMV / Red Hood/Arsenal

Go To

  • Base-Breaking Character: The inclusion of Joker's Daughter has fans divided on whether or not Lobdell can made anything good come out of her character. It doesn't help that both Jason and Roy are also Base Breakers in their own right, given that they're nothing like their pre-New52 counterparts. Some fans thought that Lobdell did a decent job with the character, giving her a redemption arc. Until it was revealed to be a trick, and a case of Shoot the Shaggy Dog.
  • Contested Sequel: While reception towards Red Hood and the Outlaws was very mixed from Jason's fans (wider DC readers loathed it), Red Hood/Arsenal is even more divisive. Some enjoy it for being simple and mindless while others hate it for that same reason.
  • Tainted by the Preview: Thanks to the solicits for the Rebirth titles of Titans and Red Hood and the Outlaws, we knew well before the release of the last issue that, in some shape or form, Jason and Roy part ways.
  • Unexpected Character: NO ONE saw coming Joker's Daughter joining the boys.
  • What the Hell, Costuming Department?: Jason's new costume at the start of the series, specifically the sleeveless hoodie that replaced his leather jacket. The costume was retired after Denis Medri (former artist of the series and designer of the costume) left DC, although it was still used in variant covers. However, it should be noted that this costume did have its fans, specifically people who thought it made him look more attractive, and it's not entirely difficult to find a decent amount of fan art of it.
