Review of Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010) by Arief L — 27 Nov 2010
Hard-knuckled violent action with Batman done as he should be for a change!. Animated but far from kid stuff, with a (literally) murderous pistol wielding Joker psychologically off the hook (well beyond the PG13 rating given this film).
Mark Hamill's Joker is the gold standard, but DiMaggio's Joker in this film is more sinister, which is an accomplishment in comparison to Hamill. Fools who think the 1960's TV Batman series is what the character is all about should be shackled and forced to watch this, if for no other reason so you can laugh at their shocked reactions to the story.
Borderline Manga-esque. Not to be missed entry in the hardcore vigilante genre of action films, worth the popcorn time...
