Batman Under The Red Hood TP

Another pictorial book in the Batman Library. Bought for my grandson who was thrilled with it as an addition to his Batman collection

Really great book. Loved it

I did not expect to enjoy this that much. I expected to find out what happened to Jason Todd because I knew he died and then I knew he was back as the Red Hood which for those clever clogs out there might seem a touch odd since he had been in the ground for going on a few decades in real time. I loved this. It couldn't have been better, except for the end which we will get to. The Red Hood is fantastically clever, witty, confident, a good tactician and most of all someone the criminals are terrified of. It is the opposite side of batman. Instead of no killing and stop all crime the Red Hood's philosophy is you can't stop crime and you can't stop people being criminals. So he kills, he tortures and he steals only to sell it to other criminals if he helps his overall cause. He isn't a villain though, he protects children, he stops crime and he hates 'the freaks'. It is a very interesting duality and there is a great sense that Batman is both happy he is back and horrified at his way 'son' has become. The overall plot arc is very clever and moving. It is well reconned into other plot lines too so what is only one volume becomes a weaved story over multiple years of publications. Now to the reason it has four stars. This has spoilers. The reason Todd is back is because Superboy punched reality in anger and made Todd come back from the dead. yes that is the best DC could come up with. It was utterly disappointing, i would have preferred nothing at all over that and it just hangs over the story when you think back on it. I still wholeheartedly recommend this story, it is one of the best but keep in mind that someone at DC needed a serious smack for that last little bit.

incredible comic with great action but a slightly complicated world it still is amazing and has some really memroble lines and characters

I completely love this one!

Son in law loves it. Great value for money.

So much more content that the film and yet it's still good

One of the best batman comics I've read!! Red Hood storyline - fantastic

Book came in perfect condition, I recommend this after reading A Death in the Family, it’s so detailed and grotesque. I cried multiple times for Jason :/ #JusticeForTheFallenRobin

Brilliant trade paperback! Delivered fast and in great condition, thanks so much :)

One of the very best Batman graphic novels. The story is interesting and the illustrations including the inking is top notch. One of the most important batman comic to be had in the collection. Though a bit overpriced it is a better but than the cheaper DC compact editions.

Very good, happy.

Excelente, adorei!
