Review of Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010) by Jim W — 20 Nov 2010
Still mourning the lost of Robin "Jason, not Dick Grayson" at the hands of the Joker (voiced by John DiMaggio), Batman finds himself up against a new enemy that calls himself the Red Hood (Jensen Ackles).
The Red Hood cleans up Gotham as well but unlike Batman, killing is an option. While trying to stop the Red Hood, Batman finds himself up against Ra's Al Ghul (Jason Isaacs), The Joker and Black Mask.
Batman gets help from Nightwing (Neil Patrick Harris) but he rather work alone since he blames himself for the death of Jason. Batman: Under the Red Hood is easily the best Batman animated film...ever! It has plenty of intrigue, action and it's also surprisingly very violent.
The film is crowded with villains, even a Riddler cameo, yet the movie isn't a mess like Spider-Man 3. All of the villains fit into the plot extremely well. I didn't expect the movie to be so well made that dare I say, it's almost as good as the Dark Knight.
I strongly recommend this movie!
