Product Description
Years ago, the Dark Knight suffered his greatest ever defeat...when the Joker killed Jason Todd, the second young man to adopt the identity of Robin. Now Jason has somehow returned from the dead, and taken on a guise once used by the Joker - the Red Hood! As the new Hood's murderous rampage through the Gotham underworld continues, Batman finds himself riddled with doubt and regret and uncertain of how to proceed. Is Jason a lost cause? Can he still be saved? Or will he meet his demise once again at the hands of Gotham crime boss Black Mask? This electrifying tale, the sequel to "Batman: Under the Hood", is one of the most talked-about Batman stories in years!

This collection is hugely underated. It is obviously the second part of the red hood saga and finishes the story nicely. Despite what you may have heard the return of Jason Todd is not the worst thing to happen to the batman comics as its cool to have a vigilante with no mercy. JT good be Dc comics Punisher if they use him correctly. As a bonus this collection contains Batman annual 25 which will set you back around a tenner, so you may as well buy this?

No fault with the storyline itself etc, as it was a gift and so I wouldn't know. It's just I bought this comic book and it fell apart upon reading. So I ordered another one (Amazon handled it fantastically, by the way) but had the same problem.. The pages fell out again.
Must be a problem with the batch Amazon recieved, so beware of buying it until they get new stock.

Jason todd has been in the background of the Dc universe for the last 22 years. His death at the hands of the Joker seen as Batman's greatist faliure. It allowed DC to take Batman down a much needed darker path. However For me Jason Todd never resonated. I was born the year of his death and by the time I got interested in comics, Tim Drake had taken over as Robin and Jason Todd became the odd reference or an image of the glass case in the Batcave. He needed to come back. In his role as the Red Hood Jason todd has become more than he ever was as Robin. He is tactical and recourceful, able to take down the black masks organisation almost single handed. Despite these strenghs however Jason is shown to be a deep character, visibly in awe in watching his mentor work and showing a strong connection with the Batman as they fight both with and against each other. He is deeply hurt, not because Batman did not manage to save him but because Batman never finished the Joker for killing him. This is where the Red Hoods importance really shines through for those who are willing to look. Batman has become progresivly darker over the last twenty odd years but has never killed. something the Red Hood has few qualms about. For the first time in a long time someone is more extreame than Batman. The red hood makes Batman think like a hero again. This book is great, not because the explanation for jasons ressurection is good, its not (superboy prime fixes reality by punching a wall) but because Batmans philosophy is called into question and when it comes right down to it Jason needed to come back, as an education to the younger readers of Batman comics and as an education to the Batman himself, to show him were his dark path could lead.
