Warning! Spoilers ahead for Batman: Urban Legends #6!
In Batman: Urban Legends #6, Batman and Red Hood's alliance will be changed for good. Throughout the series so far, Red Hood has continually gone against everything that Batman stands for. Always on the wrong side of things, Jason Todd's ruthless tactics are not in the slightest appreciated by his so-called father. Killing criminals is where Batman draws the line. Batman's biggest rules are no guns and no killing, these are two things that Jason completely ignores. Batman and Red Hood's feud is a moral one.
Their ongoing feud has been the same for years, even as far back as when Jason first became Robin. Through the use of flashbacks, Batman and Robin's past relationship is roughly outlined and parallels neatly to their relationship today. The origin of their feud is obvious and almost unsolvable, as violence is engrained into the tactics of Red Hood. It's how his mind operates and if he must step over a moral boundary for justice, he will. This is exemplified, in a previous issue, when Red Hood kills a boy's abusive father.
In the "Red Hood" segment of Batman: Urban Legends #6 by Chip Zdarsky, Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira, Jesus Merino, Marcus To, and Adriano Lucas, Batman and Red Hood team up one final time. As teased in the solicitation for this upcoming issue, this is the final chapter of the "Cheer" storyline. Both so-called heroes are obsessed with putting an end to Cheer, the villain behind Gotham's latest drug. Once again, both Batman and Red Hood will join forces to give Gotham a better tomorrow. However, eliminating their target isn't going to be easy as they will supposedly be at the mercy of its creator, Cheer. Check out the cover art below:
