Not of the little variety.

Batman: Under the Red Hood.

When DC first announced they would convert this storyline to a cartoon movie several problems arouse. In order to understand the Red Hood story you need to read: A Death in the Family. The Killing Joke, and the Red Hood miniseries. You also need to know who Jason Todd is, and how Dick Grayson (the original Robin) became Nightwing.

How would they combine all these story elements that took decades to do in the comics and put them in one 80 min movie and make it all make sense and still be entertaining?
Well watch and find out!

They did it! They actually did it. F all those guys who make movies based on stuff and say “well it was too hard to adapt”, or “that wouldn’t work in film” etc. I say this cartoon is equal to the Dark Knight movie!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s right. F them all, screw these guys who cant tell a story. This is a great Batman story with an emotional finale that has to be seen to be believed. You would never expect this from a cartoon. Batman lives on in these great DC cartoons.

If they could only translate half of this to the big screen and we would be seeing comics and superheroes in a new light – oh yeah they did that in Watchmen and everyone pissed on it. Thanks dumb asses.

I must apologize for that rant just now, but it really pisses me off when great stuff gets panned.

Anyway, this Batman cartoon is just amazing, it is a MUST MUST buy for all of us who read this.

5/5
