Batman: Under the Red Hood

[BatmAngelus]

Can't believe I never responded to this thread...

Under the Red Hood is up there with Mask of the Phantasm as one of my favorite Batman films.  If I could change one thing, it'd be that Jason Todd's Robin costume would've stayed with the traditional look when he got older in the movie (instead of adopting the Tim Drake suit), so that the shot of Batman holding his body in the beginning would've stuck closer to the iconic image from A Death in the Family.

Other than that, it's got some great emotional scenes for Bruce/Batman, a lot of memorable Joker moments, and one hell of a third act.  The final conflict is so raw, emotional, and personal.  Everything from the Batman vs. Jason fight scene to the confrontation with Joker to the quiet flashback ending- "This is the best day of my life..."- has got to be my favorite ending of any Batman film.

TDK, wherever he is, would probably say that he and I have a gentleman's agreement to take turns.

I, however, would simply say I don't know what you're talking about and change the subject. Speaking of which, did you see this?



It's a Facebook cover you (or anyone) can use. Made and uploaded it meself.

I agree.

I flipped through the comic and came to the conclusion my enjoyment of it rivals TDK Returns.

We have:

A foe who knows Batman's every move and matches him physically, giving great action sequences.
A foe who has an intimate history with Batman, giving a level of emotion that is hard to beat.
A foe who forces Batman to justify his methods, giving interesting philosophical debate.

In terms of a fully developed cast of allies apart from Alfred all I really need are Nightwing, Oracle, Robin and Red Hood. I have embraced Red Hood's existence as a key event in Batman's career just as much as Knightfall. I really like what it brings to the table.

I enjoy the trauma of having to confront a past believed to be long buried, and the way Batman processes that. At first he doesn't believe and puts in the time to investigate. When he accepts the truth, the way he holds onto past memories rather than the present gives me goosebumps.

This page below and its accompanying dialogue has particularly stuck with me:
