Batman: Under the Red Hood

Batman: Under the Red Hood: The Deluxe Edition is exactly the kind of upgrade this story deserves. The oversized hardcover format immediately stands out; the pages are sturdy, the binding feels durable, and the larger art presentation gives Doug Mahnke’s art far more impact than in the standard trade. If you’re a collector or someone who appreciates premium editions, this one delivers. What makes this edition especially valuable is that it collects both Under the Red Hood and The Lost Days in a single volume. That means you get Jason Todd’s full arc, from his resurrection to his confrontation with Batman, without needing to track down separate books. Judd Winick’s writing still holds up beautifully: emotional, sharp, and morally complex without ever losing the pacing of a great action story. The bonus material, including behind‑the‑scenes art and additional context, rounds out the package and makes it feel like a true “deluxe” release rather than just a repackaged reprint. If you’re a Batman fan, a Red Hood fan, or someone who enjoyed the animated film and wants the definitive source material, this edition is absolutely worth adding to your shelf. High‑quality production, complete story, and a presentation that does justice to one of the best Batman arcs of the 2000s.

This book is stunning, it tests batman's moral code in a very intriguing way that makes you almost think that batman is in the wrong. This story solidified red hood as my favorite batfamily character he is so cunning and mysterious and the climax with him, batman, and the joker is one of my favorite moments in all of comics. If you watched the animated movie you won't get that much out of this, it's basically the same story with a few minor changes and different plot points. I loved most of the side characters/cameos in this story Black mask was genuinely hilarious and i thought his inclusion was lots of fun, nightwing showing up was a fun surprise, but i gotta say i did not like Deathstroke in this. his entire reason for being in this story is for the reader to say "hey look! it's Deathstroke." and thats it, he has no major reason for being in this story. red hood's origin story at the end is a little complicated and convoluted which i did not like that much but it doesn't really hurt this score that much i still think this story is, and deserves a 5/5. if i could say one big problem i had with this book, it would probably be the art, sometimes the art is amazing and sometimes its not, specifically with how red hood is drawn in this comic, he doesn't look that cool a lot of the time. All in all this book is Incredible one of my favorites and nothing will change that, the writing is just superb and i would recommend it to any fan of the dark knight.

When I first read this story, in the two separate trades, I had little appreciation for the history and what was being brought to the table. Having gotten this wonderfully put together full collection, I love this story more than ever. Judd Winick does a great job of writing this intense drama for the Dark knight, which shoves one of his greatest failures in his face. Judd is also great with characterization, dealing with the Batman, Red Hood, Alfred, Nightwing, Black Mask, the Joker, and their interactions together. The artwork is also top notch. This one is hard to put down as the writing and art just kept me engrossed in such a heart-breaking tale. This collection even has a nice little bonus at the end of having the section from Jeph Loeb/Jim Lee's Hush storyline, where "the Red Hood" makes his first appearance. The only complaints I have, and are minor, and don't detract a star here but I would give this one a 9 out of 10, is the cheesy silver age portrayal of Mr. Freeze. He's the deranged mad scientist stereotype in this, not the complex more interesting emotional damaged empathetic character that Batman the Animated Series turned him into. And of course, the initial reason for "the Red Hood's" return with a lame Infinite Crises tie-in (although on second reading it's not as bad). All in all a great modern Batman story worthy of anyone looking for a great read!

Amazing quality, amazing content, wish I could read it again for the first time
