Here’s the last DC comics movie review for awhile, I promise!

I expected this last one to be the most boring so I saved it for last. Many reasons for this, one is because it focused on a single hero instead of the eclectic JLA (and resident joker Flash). Second, the store focused on Batman. I like/liked Batman, but I am just a bit tired of his brooding act. And it makes him one dimensional in my opinion; as the cartoons never focus on his Bruce Wayne persona. So I didn’t expect much, but fortunately I was slightly happy with the result.

The story of Batman: Under The Red Hood focuses on the death of the second Robin, Jason Todd, and his subsequent re-emergence as the quasi-villain and current incarnation of the Red Hood. Batman and the Red Hood fight, and as Red Hood is his protegé they are fairly evenly-matched. Eventually they deal with the conflict; well I’m not going to say how as that would spoil the ending 🙂

Looking at it impartially, it isn’t that good; but because I didn’t expect much, it was more entertaining than I would have thought. I will give it 2.5/5.
