    Story building at its finest!

    This is truly one of the most remarkable animation (or film for that matter) that i have ever rested my eyes upon. I haven't read the actual comics to this adaptation but if it is anything close to this quality of movie making it should be one of the greatest titles every written.  

     The Good

    Perfect score, very unforgettable and beautifully composed by Christopher Drake (who is fast becoming my favourite composer for animations). The characterizations (except Nightwing) and conflict between Batman and Robin is so fleshed out i felt myself on the edge of my seat during every confrontation. This makes the ending scene very powerful and emotional. Joker again delivers his psychotic charm and a crazed child killing lunatic. The story, dialogue and animation is through the roof and action sequences well played out. 

    The bad


    Nightwing is pretty useless here  All he did was expositorily complain about what the villains were equipped with, how dangerous they were and how batman would have to try harder than that to get it down. I'm 100% serious. He was very annoying when he talked. I mean yes i can see Amazo has lasers your, comments aren't helping batman here at all, better to shut up and allow Bruce to think. 

    Verdict


    Watch it! NOW! and Please don't play Nightwing any mind.

      This was one of thr best movies from DC yet. Gotham Knights was just to risky and when you start something as exciting as PG-13 animated Batman movies...you kinda want to do something that isn't so un related to the actual comics. This movie however, made up for that. It made sense. It was very well acted by all of the cast(Impressive voice from john as the joker(Bender from furturama). It had very dark and surreal emotions through out the movie and was very original in my opinion. Any Batman fa...

      Batman: Under The Red Hood by vagrantsaint on July 31, 2010

      Ok, I just watched the movie and I want to get this out while it's still fresh in my head.   Just for the record, I watched the Blu-Ray version of the movie (is there any other way to watch movies these days?) First thing's first.  The movie starts off with the Joker beating Jason Todd to death with a crowbar.  Batman is racing to save him, but as Ra's so accurately predicts, "he won't make it in time." The first thing that threw me off was the voice of the Joker (John DiMaggio).  With everyone ...
