Wonderfully obnoxious. Especially his bald faced lies to Grayson about Batman letting him drive the Batmobile. Truly great braggadocio. As if that ever happened! That fact that Dick falls for it is delicious.
All this serves to create a epic portrayal of Jason Todd. One who is mouthy and so utterly full of himself. Not so far removed from the street punk he was when he crossed paths with the Batman.
All we see makes one almost think his future final run in with the Joker might have mitigating circumstances. Dare I say, it makes one sympathize with the clown price of crime's decision to shut the little punk up permanently. Poor Joker just wanted some quiet.
The juxtaposition with the staid Dick Grayson works so well. This is obviously an episode that moves Grayson a step closer to becoming Nightwing. To finally become his own man separate from Batman.
