Narrative Toward Books Batman: Under the Hood, Volume 1 (Batman: Under the Hood #1)

I own both volumes of the original collections of this story. Vol. 1 includes Batman 635 to 641 and there is a new edition of this title that collects both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (Batman 645 to 650 and Batman Annual #1) in one book. I will be reviewing both of these volumes separately. Just cuz.



Be warned, some spoilery stuff in this one folks. Judd Winick proved with Under the Hood Vol. 1 that he can not only can write a great story, but one of the greatest Batman stories ever told. I couldn’t help but think of Brubaker’s epic run on Captain America and the birth of the Winter Soldier (equally epic) when re-reading this one for Red week. Judd introduces us to the new and improved Red Hood in this kick-ass Bat-tale.



So who is it that’s under the hood? Jason Todd? Clayface? The Joker? Alfred? Barbara Gordon? Tom Selleck? Winick does a great job of making you wonder right up to the big reveal. And yep, it’s Tom Selleck….I mean, Jason Todd. Killed off in a vote by fans (I voted to kill him) years ago, Jason was one of those characters that everyone once thought of as dead-dead. Like permanently. Like Bucky and Uncle Ben, never to return. Well he’s back, and I actually like him this time around.



This whole book pretty much revolves around Batman’s investigation into who’s wearing the red hood, an all-out war with the crime lord Black Mask, and the big reveal. A few of the high points for me in this one were Batman and Nightwing’s toe to toe with an Amazo android, Bats paying visits to other Justice League alumni that have returned from the dead, Jason’s reunion with Mr. J, and the final showdown between Batman and the Red Hood. Winick did such a good job building suspense, voicing other long-established heroes, making me like Black Mask, and finally in telling an awesome Bat-story. The only parts I didn’t really care for were the portions involving Onyx, a character I never really liked, and a couple of other minor elements that I think DC editors made Winick shoe-horn into this story for continuity purposes with other Bat-titles at the time this was first published.



Doug Mahnke’s art is fantastic and consistent. The only weak spot was issue 640. Paul Lee was the fill-in artist on this one and just doesn’t do it for me. Sorry Paul. Matt Wagner provides all of the cover art for this collection and man does he kick ass. Love his stuff.

This one’s a favorite of mine and it’s one you should definitely check out if you’re a Bat-fan.

Notice Of Books Batman: Under the Hood, Volume 1 (Batman: Under the Hood #1)

This is an intriguing Batman story I really enjoyed, despite the fact that I knew "who dunniit?" prior to reading it.Under the Hood first volume sets up an intriguing mystery that you can enjoy even if you are not that familiar with Batman comics.Definitely recommended.

I would give this volume 3.5 stars.I really love the animated film that coincides with this story. In fact, I like the animated version of the story (so far at least) a whole lot more than the novelization. I couldn't help but make comparisons throughout. Some of it was kind of dull, but the part of the book where the Red Hood beats the piss out of the Joker and then reveals himself is pretty boss. This may be irrelevant, but the voice that always pops up in my head for Black Mask is Voldemort

A classic modern Batman story with a grim sense of humor and a firm grasp on what these stories are all about. A weird new vigilante called Red Hood shows up in Gotham City and starts murdering baddies and mucking things up for Black Mask, new baddie extremo. Batman takes on both of them, warily intrigued by the Red Hood who turns out to be--??! It's awesome, but you would've had to have read Batman since 1985 for it to have any impact on you. I guess a spoiler would mean nothing then...okay,

Really enjoyed the first volume of this. Nightwing, Batman and guest appearances from Superman and Green Arrow make a great read and Winick has impressed with this volume so much so that as this was a library read I'll be getting the collected edition of this & Vol.2 as a permanent physical copy edition to my collection either from the local comic store or Amazon.

Judd Winick made an entertaining book were Batman must live with and be reminded of the greatest mistake of his career as the Batman. The death of the second Robin: Jason Todd. When this new villain comes to town called the Red Hood He causes trouble for batman in the crime world by having a gang war with Black Mask. The audience is mostly for boys and men over 13. Due to the graphic violence and foul language. The theme is that if you make mistakes don't forget them or they will come back to

I just watched the new animated version of this graphic novel (well...the two parts of it), and I really liked it. However, I liked the graphic novel better. The scope of the story is a lot grander, incorporating more elements of the DC Universe.It's a compelling story, inspired by some of the events in Batman: Absolute Hush, and following the events of Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying. Even though I'd watched the movie first, I greatly enjoyed this because of its larger picture of events.
