Amazon.com The animated adventure Batman: Under the Red Hood pits the Dark Knight against a trio of his most fearsome enemies while attempting to uncover the true identity of the vigilante known as the Red Hood. Adapted by Judd Winick from his own comic book story arc, Under the Hood, as well as the late-'80s serial A Death in the Family, Under the Red Hood is a fairly dark affair, with considerable amounts of violence, not the least of which is the act that gets the story in motion--the murder of Jason Todd, better known as the second Robin, by the Joker (voiced by John DiMaggio). The death puts Batman (Bruce Greenwood) into a guilt-ridden tailspin, but there's little time for mourning, as the arrival of the Red Hood (Jensen Ackles of Supernatural) puts the Caped Crusader on the defensive. Together with original Robin Dick Grayson (Neil Patrick Harris), now operating as Nightwing, his search for the Red Hood brings him in contact with the Joker--who, as DC Comics fans remember, started his criminal career as the Red Hood and is portrayed here as a violent psychopath à la Frank Miller's depictions--as well as the immortal Ra's al Ghul (Jason Isaacs) and Gotham's leading underworld kingpin, the fearsome Black Mask (Wade Williams). The confrontations between Batman and his foes are explosive but never overpower the dramatic weight of the story, which hinges on themes of regret, revenge, and redemption. Artwork is streamlined and expressive, while the scripting by Winick distills the essence of the comics into an action-packed hour. --Paul Gaita

Awesome for any Batman fan September 9, 2010 Kristine Perito (FL,USA) If you have read enough comic book history,then you will have no problem following this movie.It starts with Jason Todd's death at the hands of the Joker. Of course,Batman/Bruce has a major guilt problem about this,blaming himself for the demise of his young partner.Sometime later,A new guy pops up,taking down crime in the streets,in a much more volatile way than Batman's.Batman seeks the help of Nightwing,formerly the first Robin,to figure out who this gun toting crime fighter is.I'm going to end this by saying it may be kinda obvious,but it is very cool.Go get it!
Great story September 9, 2010 J. King (Philadelphia) Great story and happy it was made into a movie. Check it out if you are a Fan of Batman
One of the best Batman movies, but where is Mark Hamill? September 8, 2010 H.P. Louris 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am not a fan of the Batman animated movies that pretend the comic books don't exist so I really loved this one. It started off with a variation of what any comic book fan would recognize as the end of "A Death in the Family" and then gets into the Joker's origin as the Red Hood. It feels exactly like the comic did and was my favorite Batman animated adventure since "Return of the Joker" or "Mask of the Phantasm." Unfortunately, it loses a star because the voices in previous movies, the animated series and especially the "Arkham Asylum" video game were so much better than they were here. If Mark Hamill had been the Joker and Kevin Conroy Batman, I would have given this five stars instead of four.
A look inside the Dark Knight!! September 8, 2010 Stanley This movie absolutely blew my mind!
The sounds is phenomenal when combined with explosions and terrific fight scenes.
Though not 100% accurate, according to the comic book series, the storyline is intriguing as well as thrilling. Any Batman fan will throughly enjoy this movie. With a combination of violence, mystery, and darkness it forms the perfect tone for a true Batman film.
Don't hesitate, get the movie. That means own it, cause you will want to watch it over and over again.
Not Far Enough Under the Hood September 6, 2010 Aaron Gilmore (Morris, IL) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love love love this movie! The reason why I do not give this 5 stars is because of the 2-Disc DVD. The featurette about Jason Todd that is on the Blu-Ray is not here. I think it would have been great to see in on here since Jason is so important to the story. Also, there is only an hour of features on the 2nd Disc so it's not as if there is not room in the disc for this 21 minute feature.
