Batman: Under the Red Hood

Blu-ray details of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths confirm that the next DC movie is Batman: Under the Red Hood. This is most likely a take on Judd Winnick's Batman: Under the Hood story arc, where Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) returns as the anti-hero Red Hood, killing drug dealers and whatnot.

The characters in the graphical novel are following:
- Batman
- Nightwing
- Alfred
- Jason Todd
- Black Mask (2nd Main Antagonist)
- Joker (Minor Role
- Mr. Freeze

The comic also has Captain Nazi, Hyena (think were-wolf but a Hyena) and Captain Boomerang in a flashback with Jason as Robin. Now i could dare say Bruce Timm and others will atleast swap Captain Nazi to something less offensive perhaps, and maybe take something more "Batman" villain as Black Mask's thug.

The GN is very action packed with some drama between Jason and Bruce, it's my favorite Judd Winnick story and this is going to be awesome.

PS. I doubt this is a Joker as Red Hood story, because if they'd do a Joker origin, we all know it would/should be Batman: The Killing Joke.

Oh wow, if it is Winnick's Jason Todd story, then I am super excited for this.

It's one of my fav Batman stories

My favorite quote from this book has to be between Jason and Joker.

Joker: Didn't i kill you?
Jason: We've been over this...
Joker: I know! But i love talking about it!

Winick Writes BATMAN: UNDER THE HOOD Animated Feature

Comics2Film at Mania.com has confirm that the next DC Universe animated feature film after 'Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths' will be 'Batman: Under the Hood'.
The movie will be based on the recent storyline featured in Batman #635-641. We've also learned that Judd Winick, who wrote the comic series, is also writing the script for the film.
The comics storyline features the return of the mysterious Batman villain, The Red Hood, which was originally the identity adopted by the Joker before he fell into a vat of chemicals and was transformed into the clown prince of crime. This new Red Hood rises up as an anti-hero in Gotham City, waging a violent war against the likes of the Joker and the Black Mask.
The villain's campaign puts him at odds with Batman as well as various allies including Nightwing, Green Arrow, Zatanna and others. While most readers of C2F likely already know the character that is eventually revealed to be under the Red Hood, we'll avoid spoiling it for anyone who isn't current on their bat-books.
Watch for 'Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths' to arrive in February. Expect 'Batman: Under the Hood' to drop in the summer.

Yay, Winnick is doing the script

 

[Travesty]

I'm glad it will be called "Under the Hood", and not include "red" in there. I thought the story was pretty good, not one of my favorites, but it was still a good read, non-the-less. I may pick it up and give both a read again.

Good read. Hmm i wonder if they will just ignore the events of hush completely

 

[TheBatman072]

I'll be buying this.

Probably. Superman|Batman: PE Doesn't refer to Hush and heck. Superman refers Lois as Lois instead of "my wife" in the movie due to the casual fans.

Bruce Greenwood is Batman. Neil Patrick Harris is Nightwing. One of the guys from Supernatural is Red Hood.

If i end up wrong. Just laugh at me, but some people have already gotten the DvD for the crisis on 2 earths movie, and this source would be from one of it's owners.

Awesome

Love the screencap of Red Hood. He looks badass.

 

[Travesty]

That pic looks rad.

 

[Sonic1002]

Awkward choice for Joker (I'm sure it'll be great), but I'm pretty psyched about the rest of the casting!

 

[Drz]

Just like Owlman. The antagonist gets hiw own special statue for this movie! Details here!

Time to show some character designs for the upcoming movie:

 

[JokerLedger]

The heck is up with Nightwing's hair? Meh
Also... the TDK influence is definately there. Looks like they're giving the joker black eye make up and a cut smile.

Nightwing resembles a lot his first design on The Batman, except the hair.

Liking how the movie is turning out.

This is looking great.

 

[Young Superman]

Agreed

 

[Sawyer]

As I said in the other Under the Red Hood thread, I think this may be my favorite animated Batman design. And the Gotham City shots look gorgeous.

 

[Sonic1002]
