My first experience with the character Red Hood actually came from watching the movie Batman: Under the Red Hood (Single-Disc Edition). The movie was quite good. It was definitely one of the better animated movies I have ever seen. After seeing the movie, I wanted to read the source material, so I picked up this book at the library. Very glad I did!
Though most of my favorite Batman tales are ones that take place out of regular continuity, this book is an exception. Fortunately, Judd Winick's writing is also an exception, when it comes to this book. I'd found most of his writing to be extremely average. In the case of this book, however, Winick's writing is nothing short of exceptional. Given the circumstances of the set-up behind this story and the weird explanations behind the changes in the DC universe that were taking place at the time, it's pretty significant that Winick was able to craft such a great story. This story took place shortly after the DC event Infinite Crisis - a mess of an event if there ever was one. For anyone who missed that, you really didn't miss much!
A new vigilante is in town and he's shaking things up for Black Mask, the new crime boss of Gotham. But when Batman steps in he finds that this new guy happens to know lots of things about him, things his enemies don't know, couldn't possibly know. But who could know Batman so well, who could be... under the red hood?
I think most people coming to this book will know who it is under the red hood, so much so the subtitle of the book should be "The Resurrection of Jason Todd". Jason, the second Robin, was famously murdered by the Joker in the book "Batman: A Death in the Family" and became Batman's biggest failure. But hey this is comics, it's all middle story, nothing's forever. Superman died, Green Arrow died, and they're both alive, why not Robin too?
The book is actually pretty good. Besides some shaky dialogue characterising Batman as an extremely grumpy and unlikeable man (the back and forth between him and Nightwing was unlike the way their relationship has largely been written), the plot was full of action and intrigue moving forward at a blistering pace and throwing a few curve balls at the reader. I especially liked the final confrontation between Batman and Red Hood, I think what most people expected to hear wasn't what was said and that's always a good thing, that a writer can surprise like that. Think you know what motivates Jason? Think again. And of course Joker is knee deep in it as usual.
But I think the biggest problem most people have with the book is how Jason was brought back from the grave. It's included here at the end and I have to agree it was a bit convoluted.
