I will never forgive dc for what they did to Roy. RHATO Roy isn't Roy Harper he just happens to share the same name, that's how different he is. Roy has always been an incredibly important character who grew immensely from when he first appeared to joining the justice league. Even before the end of post-crisis dc was already doing him dirty by killing Lian and having him relapse. RHATO would have been so much better if it had a more accurate Roy (and kory for that matter) who teamed up with Jason cause he could see the similarities between them and wanted to help him just as Dinah helped him. Also Roy should have been the leader of the team as he you know actually led the titans for a while there and has proven himself to be a good leader whilst Jason (at least I think personally) isn't really the leader type.
Roy Harper is an incredibly rich character with a history that spans nearly 80 YEARS and it is a DAMN SHAME that RHATO forced him into a position in which he will either be forever known as a Jason Todd supporting character or be forgotten entirely. The fact of the matter is that RHATO was a badly written book that wrote Roy unacceptably and unremorsefully out of character. The only saving grace was that were good moments within the interpersonal relationships of the characters, and evidently that was enough for people to latch onto the book. It is not a coincidence that most of the book’s avid fans consisted of new readers or Jason stans who either didn’t know anything about Roy to begin with, or just flat out didn’t care about anything other than his relationship in regards to Jason. However, despite being one of seemingly millions of examples of how anything can be popular if it has a shipable ship regardless of quality, the impact that it’s made on a character that hasn’t been an A lister in a long time has been catastrophic. Very few people know or care about Roy outside the context of RHATO and because of the internet, it will never quite be forgotten. And if Roy does in fact die during Heroes in Crisis, I think that not only is this a slap in the face to people who are actually fans of Roy, but is an immense loss to comic book history as a whole. Roy is one of the few characters who has been there since basically the beginning and has endured the test of time. He’s been part of things that literally paved the way for every aspect of the modern comic book industry. I doubt he’ll stay dead forever, but the supporting cast doesn’t usually come back right away, and part of me is afraid that Roy has strayed too far the public eye for editorial to ever really consider him useful again.
