One of the greatest Batman movies ever created, live action or animated. Jensen Ackles gives an all timer performance as Red Hood that still hasn’t been followed, and Bruce Greenwood is a seriously underrated Batman. He plays the character so well in this movie and in Young Justice

[@CamJamROC]

Yeah, I considered him the definitive non-Conroy Batman from this movie. And I was so glad to realize he returned hearing him in Young Justice.

[@AustinFoss00]

Jason Todd as Red Hood is the best example of an "edgy" character done right. He has easily become one of the best DC characters and his comics (Red Hood and the Outlaws, Red Hood and Arsenal, Task Force Z, etc.) are proof that even without the other BatFam members, he is more than capable of carrying a series as the protagonist. I love his rocky relationships with the other BatFam members too

[@BabyGirlTiny]

To bad he’s a character with zero motivation out behind him. All his character amounts to is issues with Bruce and wanting to kill the joker. DC has done nothing with his character since this movie

[@AustinFoss00]

@@BabyGirlTiny You're stupid if you actually believe that. The Red Hood and the Outlaws was one of the highest selling DC comics for years, including when they went into Rebirth. He had more growth in those 2 series runs than any other Bat Family member has in years, And his newest Task Force Z series is fantastic.

[@silverblade357]

I like how the second Jason Todd flashback suggests that Batman's campaign, like the comics, became darker over time. You've got Robin in the trapeze getup and Riddler's gang using gimmick weapons. Then we hard transition to street criminals and a way more aggressive Robin. We also saw previously that the Joker would kill Robin some time after this.

[@BWingCommander]

I like that they got Judd Winnick, the writer of the original story in the comics, to write this screenplay. It allowed him to have a revised and more grounded take on Jason’s return, and the story as a whole is a lot more focused. Also, hot take: John DiMaggio is one of the best to ever play Joker and might be my personal favorite.

[@jonasquinn7977]

The final confrontation is the greatest scene in any DC Animated movie and one that encapsulates what I think is the definition of who Batman is. I can also quote it forbattum.

[@valiantshadow89]

Ra’s was involved, but Jason was more Talia’s project in the original story. When Jason started talking about wanting revenge on Batman, Talia tried to buy time to dissuade him by sending him to deadly criminals all over the world to train under, claiming it was to get him ready and help him, but secretly hoping his vengeance boner would die down with time.

I'd definitely recommend reading Lost Days Red Hood, it shows his training with the league and his Batman Esc training where he goes around the world and trains under great masters of certain skills like marksmanship and explosives.

[@kimberleyrigg7503]

One of the best DC animated films. They nailed the story and animation and the voice cast did not have one weak link. The scene between Redhood and Batman at the end is my all time favourite scene out of DC...they just nailed the emotion and it hits every time I see it. Please watch Long Halloween.

[@aaronfite1332]

Something I do find interesting about how the way comics have changed is that Jason Todd when he came back was originally a villain. He was a bad guy a part of Batman's rogue's gallery then somewhere down the line he became an antihero. That's what everyone knows him better as like an anti-hero but a large amount of people forget he was a villain for a long time.

[@Mizraab2912]

46:40 Man, whenever Coy starts passionately talking about his favourite characters...i instantly get goosebumps. The way the passion flows seamlessly through his words is uncanny!

[@ipilot7777]

This movie is definitely one of my most favorite animated film. It takes us back to the 2nd robin Jason Todd and who he was and what happened to him. This movie reveals red hood to us for the first time

I'm surprised Coy hasn't seen this movie but it's great to experience it with him and hear his raw thoughts on the Red Hood character.

[@Sheen04]

I really love this movie, its so sad that Jensen has now aged out of the role his look in the early seasons of supernatural was perfect for Jason Todd

[@swimtastic645]

This is one of the pinnacle DC animated movies, it was outright outrageously good. I teared up at the end when it showed young Jason because of how happy he was to be Robin when the movie was about all the pain and misery that came from being Robin 😢

[@thedarkknight2221]

This movie is tied with Mask of the Phantasm, and The Dark Knight Trilogy and The Dark Knight Returns animated movies for my favorite Batman movies of all time. I remember never even looking up who Red Hood was before seeing this and the absolute surprise I felt when I learned who he was. And the cast of this movie just knocked it so damn far out of the park, especially the actors who played Batman, Red Hood and Joker.

[@Batman1084CK]

2nd only to Mask of the Phantasm amongst the animated Batman films... what an honor that is.

[@LoyalWolf4665]

I like the fact that Ra’s is simpathetic to Batman after unintentionally killing Jason and how he resurrected him after that fails he doesn’t pursue him and says “Besides, I’ve done enough”

[@howiejbrown6919]

41:52 No, it was not. The in-comic explanation is *far* more crazy. So, after the fan-vote to kill Jason, DC Comics held another big Crisis storyline. The main villain in the story was a character called Superboy-Prime, who came from a universe where the DC heroes existed in comics. Sort of a Gwenpool type situation. Anyway, Crisis happens, and Superboy-Prime ends up punching a whole through the space-time continuum, causing some changes. One change was that the Jason Todd that died was replaced with an equally damaged but still alive Jason from a parallel universe. So, Jason wakes up, freshly exploded but still alive, IN THE COFFIN. He then DIGS HIMSELF OUT, runs for miles, get's hit by a car, and is then captured by Ra's al Ghul. After a bit of training and Lazarus healing, Jason is released back into the world, and becomes the Red Hood. Now, I may have gotten some parts wrong, but that's the general gist of what happened.

[@jamesonbrown3789]

Good start but I'll help ya out here. Jason wasn't replaced with somebody from a parallel universe. When superboy prime literary punched reality, that sent ripples throughout the pre-new 52 universe, and restored him back to life. He was indeed captured by the league but Ras wanted to use him to get back at batman. There wasn't any real training as he retained most of it, even though he was basically a brain-dead walking thing. Talia gives him access to the pit and then Talia releases him from her father. I'd read Red Hood: Lost Days to find out more 👍

Funny that Coy brings up Hamlet: When Kevin Conroy started Batman: The Animated Series, he only knew Adam West's Batman. When Bruce Timm explained it more to him, the Juliard actor had an epiphany: "he's Hamlet!" and he was able to understand the character better.

As far as I know, Jason comes back somehow (side effect of the Motherbox, resurrecting Superman perhaps? lol), still in his coffin, digs his way out, and spends time on the streets of Gotham in some sort of catatonic state (likely brain damage related). Eventually he's found by Talia and brought home with her. She realizes he's not getting better, sticks him in the Pit and then spends a few years training him or sending him to other League members for training. At some point, she shows him stuff about Joker still being alive, Tim being his replacement, ect, and basically points Jason towards Bruce like a heat-seeking missile. Enter the Red Hood.

To Coy's question about the apostrophe in "Ra's al Ghul": it's a common English transliteration of the Arabic letter ء (hamza). The Arabic word that they transliterate as "ra's" (meaning "head" or "leader") is pronounced with a slight glottal stop between the r and s.
