Should Jason Todd Die? Again?

 
 
Jason Todd might be dead (again), and fans are being asked whether he should be (... again).
This week’s episode of DC Universe’s Titans ended with a cliffhanger, as the superhero soap opera is wont to do. Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) and Starfire (Anna Diop) were unable to stop the assassin Deathstroke (Esai Morales) from dropping Jason Todd (Curran Walters) off of a building. The young Robin plummeted and the show cut to black, leaving fans in the lurch for a week.
But in the meanwhile, DC Universe’s forums have something for them to do: Vote on whether Jason should live or die.
“Will he live or will Jason Todd die?” says the poll description. “Take the poll below to let your voice be heard! This isn’t the first time that Jason’s fate was left to the whims of others; will history repeat itself or will he live to mouth off another day?”
The description refers to the 1988 Batman story arc A Death in the Family, in which the second issue ended with the potential death of Jason Todd, the second Robin. Readers were offered the opportunity to call a 1-900 number and vote on whether he should survive.
