I don't see Making William Jason as a regression at all. I already have a lot of characters that are basically "What if I was X?" Jason is probably up their though of characters I star a lot, but I have twist. The Batman Beyond thing isn't a mere twist. If you noticed, between all the Robins, Jason lives most obviously in Batman's shadow, I even broke down once how his whole Red Hood journey is essentially another Batman journey with guns. This reality plays with that notion by making the same Jason Todd Batman as a teenager. He has all that rage and passion, but he has to be Batman, a superhero with the brilliant mind that took down criminal and terrorist organizations and even godly figures. I think Jason has much more personality to play with than Terry.

Superman I most proud of as far as the additions go, because I want to have a BvS moment, and Jason's not the type to go out of his way to pick fights that don't directly serve a purpose, so I made Superman a hothead, which honestly makes sense to me, I mean most people probably would if they had Superman's power.

Holt will be important, but it's just that some origin stories don't take a long time to set-up, and not everyone needs half a movie to see them become a hero, there are people who would just do good if they had the power to do so, and Holt is one of those. He is without any real tragedy until the accident, and even then he was out for most of it, so he has the most positive outlook compared to the Jason Todd's and Vic Stones, and he's more amicable then Superman and Raven.

Raven's going to exactly as she is in Teen Titans. The only difference is her teammates. Raven is perfect and I have nothing to add to her other than Jason.

Once again, some origins are not as good as others, and Cyborg's is one of those where the origin kinda sucks, but he's an important member of the team, because of his powers, intellect, and sense of humor. Over time, his sense of humor betrays the fact that he is deeply tramuatized by losing most of his body.

Batgirl's already been described, so I didn't do it again. She's a counter weight to Jason's amateur vigilante, and for all intents and purposes, appears to be more Batmany than Jason. She exists to show Batman's legend is far reaching and influential, and to make Jason further question whether or not he deserves the cowl.
