Last month we ended with Jason Todd’s unconscious body being dropped next to Tim Drake who also was taking a nap. The Titans and the Outlaws were looking to team up to track down their leaders who had both gone missing.   Before going on much further, one thing to note is that the story in this month’s issue is a direct continuation from the end of Teen Titans #15, not the end of Red Hood #15. To sum that issue up in simple terms, Tim Drake had…

Scott Lobdell currently writes both Red Hood and the Outlaws and Teen Titans. While Teen Titans is not covered directly by The Batman Universe and beginning next month neither will Red Hood, the paths of the series will continue to cross the main Bat-books in the future. This would include the upcoming "Death of the Family" crossover. In addition, the zero issues this month lay out the origins of Tim Drake and Jason Todd. Newsarama spoke with Lobdell about the zero issues and the upcoming Joker story.
