Red Hood is the first DLC character in Injustice 2. He is classified as a Gadget user.
Biography
Jason Todd once served as Batman’s second protégé "Robin" before being brutally murdered by the Joker. Years later, the powerful healing waters of the Lazarus Pit brought Jason Todd back to life. However the power of the pit comes at a cost, and a change takes hold in Jason. He now uses the mantle of the Red Hood to wage a lethal war on crime.
Injustice 2 Comic
Jason is briefly mentioned by Superman when Batman visits the Kryptonian in the Red Sun Prison.
In issue #46 of the comic, the fake Batman is revealed to be Jason Todd.
Injustice 2
Damian Wayne mentioned Jason to Batman that he couldn't save him. However, it turns out to be false as Jason was revived by Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit as Red Hood.
Red Hood is a current DLC fighter from pack 2.

Ending
That. Felt. Good. Titanium composite hollow point bullets with a C4 kicker. Fastest, most explosive ammo in the world. I made them myself. With the invasion over, Bruce and Superman started fighting again. I wasn't down with either of them. On the one hand, the Regime's right. Scumbag murderers and rapists deserve to die. But on the other hand, I'm no fan of government authority. Especially the dictatorial variety. So while the World's Finest fight each other, I fight for the people. The weak. The innocent. Anyone who can't protect themselves. When they cry out for a savior, I'll answer. As for the criminals who threaten them? They need to know that their actions have consequences. That the Red Hood is coming for them.
Costumes
To the right is Red Hood's base skin, Red Hood Rising. He is wearing his default gear. The remainder of his costumes can be found on his gallery page.
Trivia
- Jason Todd is voiced by Cameron Bowen, who previously voiced the Tim Drake incarnation of Robin in Young Justice.
- He is the second character to break the fourth wall (next to the Flash's Versus intro and Sub-Zero's victory pose), shooting the camera as his victory pose. This is followed by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who'd take a slice of pizza before tossing the rest of the pizza onto the camera.
- If Red Hood and The Joker were to battle against each other, Red Hood will directly paraphrase the iconic quote from Ghostbusters: "I ain't afraid of no ghosts".
- For most shaders, his mask is red, but when equipped with God shader, his mask is yellow, Tournament shader: chrome, and Electrum: black.
- While he wields dual pistols like other incarnations, this version uses custom guns (and ammunition) like his Arkhamverse incarnation; as his single-player ending reveals he capable of making his own bullets ("titanium composite hollow point bullets with a C4 kicker") that are the fastest and deadliest ammo in the world, and in-game, the magazines of his handguns (which slide into the bottom of the handle) feature taser spikes (similar to how his Arkhamverse handguns are custom-made to link together to form a sniper rifle) on the bottoms.
- His single-player ending shows him defending a young girl from Professor Pyg; this a (possibly intentional) reference to Scarlet, a victim of Pyg who becomes Red Hood's sidekick in the Pre-New 52 comics.
