I’m really liking the DC Universe Animated Original Movies from the Justice League: The New Frontier to the Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, I really like how they stay true to the comic and also the violence that comes with, no more those pussy ass censorship targeted for children.

Under the Red Hood, follows the “A Death in the Family” and “ Under the Hood” storyline, and in my opinion is one of the best storyline ever,it is basically about the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, the one who replaced Dick Grayson when Dick Grayson decided to be Nightwing. Jason Todd was killed in action by the Joker, it is well explained in this film and also on how he became the second Red Hood, the first red hood was the Joker before he fell to the chemical that made him the iconic Joker.

He might not be Mark Hamill, but John DiMaggio really did a good job being the Joker, Bruce Greenwood and Jensen Ackles also did a good job being Batman and the Red Hood, the only negative with the cast was Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing, i felt those comedic one liner and his voice wasn’t fitting for the iconic Nightwing.

Overall, the movie was great, it had a great cast and a superior storyline, the only weaklink was the characterization of Nightwing.


PROS: Great Story especially it is just a direct-to-video Film. Great Cast

CONS: Anti-Climatic Ending, Neil Patrick Harris is a bad fit being Nightwing
