For Your Batman fan
I bought this Batman: Under The Red Hood for my nephew's Christmas present, then went and bought the Superman: Doomsday one as well and gave him that for Christmas. Did I keep the Batman for myself? No, I just bided my time (Heh! Heh! Heh!) knowing he would try to complete the set and finding them all long sold out. Then his birthday came and he unwrapped this! As with Superman, he loved the story and liked the movie, so it's a second win! As before, the hardcover means repeated readings without pages falling out, plus he thinks it looks great on his dresser next to his Superman one. Good gift! What stops it from being great? Unfortunately as before, the discs are kept in sleeves against the page's surface instead of elevated cores like you usually get with disc cases. Yes, I sprung for another double disc case when I found out, because he's a good kid.

What Can It Be Said? Classic!!!
Nice collection. Movie Review. DC Animated movies have been coming straight for fans of the comic books, usually adapting some stories here and there, Batman or Superman. While this is a Batman story, believe me, it's one that deserves to be adapted into a feature-length film. This movie primarily adapts 2006's "Under the Rood Hood" story, but it also takes the epic foundation story "Death in the Family" as its prelude. Plus a little bit of "The Killing Joke" too. Ever since the beginning of Batman, there's been Robin, the young ward of Batman taken in after a tragedy and formed to become a superhero like him. But the young ward grew up to become his own man and a new generation had taken his place. Strong and talented as he used to be, but also angry and impatient. These factors lead him to an encounter with the Joker, Batman's nemesis. Joker murders the new Robin as Batman moves on years later still grieving his old partner. But then a new criminal called the Red Hood, an identity once used by the Joker but it becomes clear that subtle hints are alluding to not just the Joker but the murdered Robin. It was an epic comic book story, truly one fitting Batman as he ended up meeting this Red Hood in a climactic end. This movie is a wonderful adaptation. Very loyal to the source material and in some ways better than the story. The art is simple but still makes its point. Voice acting is splendid with Bruce Greenwood doing a great turn as Batman, along with John DiMaggio as the Joker, the two men might not be Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, but they are really good. But its Supernatural star Jensen Ackles who steals the show as the Red Hood, taking his lines from the comic book and making them his thanks to his phenomenal delivery and intensity. Some characters and various angles from the original story are deleted for what is added to make the movie work as a stand-alone movie. But the changes are negligible at best, some even make the story better. Though I have to admit they did good involving Ra's al Ghul in the story, I'd have preferred more detail as to how and why Jason was able to turn himself into the Red Hood. Great film. A- Graphic Novel Review. NOTE: This only covers the first half of the story of Under the Red Hood or as it was originally collected as "Under the Hood, Volume 1." It includes the revelation of who the Red Hood is but doesn't show what happens with the Joker. It would have been nice if it included it too. Well. What can be said? AMAZING. This story appears to resurrect an uncommonly known villain from Batman's 40s era crime-fighting days. But this wasn't the Red Hood of that time. No. We get a violent, ferocious anti-hero who makes his bones polishing the streets of the very worst of the criminal underworld without taking much. All this while Black Mask has gained a hold on the criminal underworld and Bruce is grieving for Stephanie Brown/Robin IV. But it becomes more than that as Bruce begins to realize from a distance that this Red Hood is not just vicious but skilled... as skilled as he or anyone else he has trained before. He begins to become suspicious at what this could be and while this is going on The Joker has been kidnapped and beaten terribly by said Red Hood with a crowbar... and... if anyone remembered a certain "Death in the Family," you shouldn't have been surprised by who the man was when he was unmasked. It brought back what was thought to have been a cheap attempt to get under Bruce's skin in Hush... but it wasn't. It was as it appeared all along. I remember the prints of Bruce looking shocked as he unmasked this Red Hood and it was worth it at the end. A little slow in the beginning and middle but well worth the wait. AMAZING story. B+ Overall a great collection. A

Great movie and deal
The movie of course is pretty good. The better part was the price at only $10, plus they gave me a code for 30 days free to the DC Universe streaming service which was in itself pretty awesome, not to mention that they also include the graphic novel tie in as well. All of this for just $10 is highway robbery. Fantastic deal.
