Honestly the thing that made that scene with Jason asking Bruce why he didn't kill Joker better in the movie is when Jason said that he just wants Bruce to specifically kill him, because he took him away from Bruce. That made me tear up when watching it.

This storyline is one of the prime examples of an interconnected universe really restraining the creative team, the movie proves that it would've been much better without Winick being forced to cram in the Secret Society/Infinite Crisis stuff just because it was happening in the comics at the same time

And Joker, scorpion on the turtle's back that he is, tries to kill them all as soon as he can.

32:44 - At the time, Black Mask was the Carmine Falcone of Gotham. All of the gangs paid tribute to him, and he ran crime at just about every level. So by targeting Black Mask, he’s targeting the biggest crime lord in the city.

[@mikesetzer9379]

Idk how they dont have a million followers, this channel is amazing! Been watching for 4 years now

[@kylethestud1237]

I know Sal doesn’t like Jason’s resurrection because he thinks it ruins everything his death stood for. I understand why and respect it. But I disagree. I don’t think it fully ruins it. Because Batman in the comic states that “it doesn’t change anything” when Alfred asks if Bruce wants the robin memorial removed. And I love Jason coming back to life. Specific as his original interpretation as a villain/anti-hero and not a member of the batfamily like he is nowadays. I love the idea that Jason, his son who’s death represents Bruce’s rush to find a companion and a friend in his crusade, and that also represents all of Bruce’s ideals personified in the beacon of light that Robin represents to his darker Batman. I love all of those concepts being confront by a resurrected Jason who died in the middle of Bruce’s crusade against crime, who died because of Bruce’s ideals of not killing criminals, and who died in the hands of Batman’s greatest foe, Jason forces himself to grow up and grow out of those restrictions to then face Batman with the “reality” of what he should have done and what he should do. Jason not only represents Batman’s greatest failure because of his death, but he also represents the repercussions of Batman’s moral code and the counter act to that moral code. All the more impactful knowing that the “counter act” is coming from someone he trained with the foundation of Bruce’s moral’s and should know better.

[@ChadCRed]

I really like this book, cause there are some cool moments and Jason is my favorite character, but the movie is way better. Cause it's the same writer going back, cutting out all the fat, and going back to streamline and improve his story. Also the movie is kinda what got me more into comics and DC so I also love it for that reason

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

I always thought of Red Hood as a combination of Winter Soldier and Punisher

[@alzaronwayne5255]

I never understood ComicPOP crews issue with the "kill one person Batman won't stop". Cause Jokers not the only one mass murdering people in Gotham.....Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin, Black Mask.....they all have rap sheets two miles long.....the point of Batman is he doesn't cross that line no matter what......he's not the Punisher

[@jrob4795]

Great point. Because Batman’s whole deal is keeping what happened to his parents from ever happening to anyone else…so let’s say he kills, Joker, then why stop there, why not Two Face, and Riddler and so on, and so forth until no more super crime in Gotham…why stop there…what about Lex Luthor, or Captain Cold, or Ocean Master? He’d be constantly talking himself into why he should off these people. He would never stop until everyone’s parents were safe.

[@loki_l_1380]

I thought the animated film was much better. Mostly in pacing. Maybe this would have been better to read monthly, but it's pacing was all over the place and it just felt messy. Even if the overall story and ideas were good.

[@architeuthis3476]

The film was definitely paced better. It kept all the best parts of the comic and cut out all the garbage. The only thing the comic did better was actually showing all the heads in the duffel bag.

[@JakeTylenol]

I don’t know if this is a better answer but instead Batman’s argument should’ve simply been:”Because I’m not judge jury and executioner. That’s not for me to decide. My mission, and the mission of all Robins by extension is to save Gotham, Gotham should decide for itself what Jokers fate is.” To me this makes more sense as to why Batman doesn’t cross that line, even if it raises the question why doesn’t Gotham just give Joker the death penalty

[@robertmathews7971]

Has anyone ever made a story about Mr. Freeze learning about Lazarus Pits? That might have been a decent setup for Red Hood and him being a tighter hero-villain pair. Or something.

[@camerondodge2070]

There actually was a story about Freeze and the pits. He got to put his wife in one, cure her disease, and then somehow she became able to shoot fire and raise the dead, and she called herself Lazara, and the only way to stop her was to freeze her again, and it was just dumb. And it all happened just before the 52 reboot, so none of it matters!

[@kingjuuzou]

One of my favorite Batman stories, had to watch this right away

[@terrencecastonguay1984]

Judd Winick understands the character of Red Hood better than Scott Lobdell does, and Under the Red Hood is one of my favorite stories.

[@ComicCrossing]

Bro Red Hood Rebirth is great. Lobdell is a great Jason writer. Judd Winick is good though, and Id like to see him return to comics.

[@prettyvillainous9505]

John S Lobdell has been better since Rebirth started (I enjoyed New 52 RHatO in spite its many many problems). But Winick is still the only one who I feel firmly understands the character.

[@terrencecastonguay1984]

John S I would agree with you on that his run on Rebirth was great but at the beginning it was, they are changing his overall design he kinda looks like a Mortal Kombat character.

[@OberonNaga]

Comic book hero and villain designs change sometimes. No need to bash the writer over a design concept. Let’s give it an issue or two of the new look and story before we complain about it. Otherwise it looks like we just don’t like change in general.

[@prettyvillainous9505]

SharsChosen Expressing dislike and disappointment isn’t really bashing. And I’ve now seen the design so I feel comfortable saying that I strongly dislike it. Yes character designs change. Sometimes they’re good (like the black body armor with the red bat and the brown jacket) sometimes they’re not. You can appreciate the effort and work that goes into creating something without liking the outcome. I don’t need a couple issues to know if I’ll like the new design because I’ve seen it. I need a couple issue to decide if I like the new story direction.

[@WhelmedButReady]

This story is pretty good, but the changes Judd Winick made in the movie boosts this story to unquestioned greatness. It removes all the minutia you don't need and makes logical retcons where its needed to fit the mythos.

[@dakotanelson8523]

The movie also just makes the story a lot more coherent and puts certain moments in much more appropriate places, like Bruce not suspecting Red Hood being Jason until he calls him 'Bruce', having Jason only encounter and start torturing Joker with a crowbar near the end. no face reveal of Jason under the mask until the final fight between him and Bruce, etc.

[@jordonnelson7980]

The lean. The mean. Ass kicking machine! Jason Todd. One of the best stories. Red Hood has become an amazing character thanks to Scott Lobdell (never thought that would happen) in this Rebirth era. He feels more like Spike Spiegel with some Punisher added in.

[@benhramiak8781]

I think the best bit is when Jason says why he should kill the joker

[@wilagaton9627]

A tangent: but the movie version voice cast is like the second best right behind BtAS crew. Bruce Greenwood (from a lot of things like Admiral Pike in the 09 Star Trek) - Batman/Bruce Wayne Jensen Ackles (from Supernatural) - Red Hood Niel Patrick Harris (from HIMYM) - Nightwing John DiMaggio (Jake the Dog from Adventure Time and alot of other cartoons) - Joker

[@Darkdragon902.]

Wil Agaton Mark Hamill voicing Joker would’ve made it better.

[@Unknowmn45054]

Darkdragon902 Though Hamill is the definitive Joker in my eyes, I actually really enjoyed and preferred DiMaggio’s for this movie. He did such a great job of switching from laughing hysterically to deadly creepy that it gave me chills the first time I watched the end of the warehouse scene.

[@shettynischith77]

33:00 Black Mask was established very heavily like he ruined and Owned Gotham in the War Games and No Man's Land Storyline.. And hence that is why he was important to this as well..

This is like if "Two Brothers" was a comic. *Winick:* "The Secret Society is coming, and they're also in the story, and Captain Nazi is going to come and cross-attack Batman and Red Hood. But let's get back to Batman and Red Hood, because they have a bond. You don't want to know about it or how Jason's back here, but I'll tell you one thing. Chemo is crashing into Blüdhaven and what're you going to do then?"

[@SamSphinx]

"Two Masks. But also Black Mask, and Deathstroke..."

[@brandonbest650]

Honestly this is one of my favorite Batman stories.

[@r.babylon2885]

I thought Batman's logic on killing Joker made sense from a personal angle. He knows that Joker should be killed. However, killing someone purposefully, is still an exception to the rule. And that is a morale break, no matter how justified. So, how long until another villain proves to be a huge threat, warranting another murder. Slowly, either over days, months or even years, Batman would slowly ease into becoming a murderer. That would lead to him eventually not even keeping murder as a reserve solution. And that would cause him to be no better than the others.

I enjoy the book more, but I am not blind to the fact that it is not perfect. For example, I think they give up the ghost too early on the Jason Todd and Joker thing. I enjoy the mystery of the book, but the movie is very well done. It consolidates all the extraneous characters and bloat and makes it mostly a story of Batman, Black Mask, Red Hood, and the Joker

[@normansmith9009]

Black Bantha I agree. The story from the movie can stand on it's own, while the comic story suffers from all the continuity that is built upon. 90% of the characters that appear in the comic are useless, and have no role to play at all.

Jason Todd is a badass I actually like Red X version of him the best( Red X is totally Jason Todd) and I wish they would use Red Hood and his Outlaws(atleast Artemis) on the Titans as kind of the antagonist/antihero basically I want Jason Todd to be Vegeta and Nightwing to be Goku(but Dick Grayson would act like the Teen Titans cartoon version of him)

[@benokazaki5462]

Doesn't make sense for Red X to be Jason Todd, Dick Grayson is still Robin and at this point has never been Nightwing. We have never heard of Jason Todd being Robin which is definitely something that Dick would've talked about. And finally, Red X is slightly taller than Robin, it wouldn't make sense that Jason, who is traditionally younger, would be taller than Robin. It would make more sense for it to be someone like Roy Harper

[@jonmercano1138]

Ben Okazaki I'm pretty sure it makes less sense for it to be Roy Harper since he's an established ally of the Titans. He's even a part of Titans East. Also, I would point out that besides the fact he exists, we know nothing about Jason in Teen Titans continuity. So your reasons don't really apply. And Robin also hasn't talked about having been Batman's sidekick either, wouldn't he have talked about that?

First time commenting, but I had to to thank you so much for doing Under the Red Hood. It is my favorite stories for him. As much as I am enjoying the Rebirth series, the original return story still reads great for me. Thank you for your coverage of this, your comments and criticisms actually enhanced the book for me. I always wondered whether it was lack of oxygen that caused his brain damage from his resurrection, but now i see that it was the damage the joker and his bomb performed that caused it. That wasn't the only insight i got from this episode of back issues. Explanations for why Red Hood likely targeted Black Mask have been put in the comments before me so I won't reiterate them here. I hope to see more Red Hood in the future (Lost Days is a good place to go after Under the Red Hood) but I know that there are many other stories that need their time in the spotlight. I really hope this video performs well enough to show that the Red Hood is a character that people are interested in hearing more about.

I agree wholeheartedly with many other commenters that the animated movie does the same story better, with less bloat. The only place where the comic’s bloat was a little better, in my opinion, was with Captain Nazi and Hyena attacking Jason, as opposed to generic cyborgs in the movie. Since they kept a character as seemingly tangiential as Amazo in the movie, I think they could have used other recognizable, or at least colorful, villains as contract killers, and since the movie presumably existed within its own isolated continuity, they could’ve killed off whoever they wanted. Maybe Killer Moth, or Zsasz, or other C-list bat rogues. Here’s hoping that a comment on a years-old video helps feed the algorithm and boost you guys towards the greater subs that you deserve!

I personally prefer this comic more than the movie. It doesn’t read well in trade and the movie makes the mystery less suspenseful. When the reveal of Jason happened he disappears and it’s mysterious to what he’ll do next. Cool for hype but killed the energy of this story.Black mask in a previous story escalated a crazy gang war and killed Stephanie Brown. He became the biggest villain at the time.They were pushing him hard.Black Mask I guess are similar both Jason and Batman as just being regular dudes in the end no matter what anyone says. Black Mask is more direct. Jason basically cripples all of crime in less time Batman does. The point is Jason gets Batman’s point on why he doesn’t kill from the start but wants to know and hear why joker. It shows how similar they think and it’s kinda scary. I don’t like the reasoning Jason gives because it destroys his moment of finally becoming a hero when he died. There was a Deadman Book where Jason relives his death and forgives Batman and peacefully walks into the afterlife. It’s ambiguous to where he goes.

Also isn't captain nazi a captain marvel junior villian

[@jonryder7269]

Tevya Smolka yes, i think he killed juniors parents.

5:50 “I have a problem with a vigilante... I’m gonna call Mr. Freeze. Nobody calls Mr. Freeze!” Mr. Freeze: it’s still nice to be included...

[@changvasejarik62]

You know, I’ve read the stories, I know the context behind them, I know their true power. And even I can’t take a team up between hyena count vertigo and captain nazi seriously.

[@TheBisness]

Anybody else notice Ben is wearing the same shirt from the A Death In The Family episode? Just me? Ok I'll be quiet then.

[@Redem10]

How long untl they make a character with the name "blue Hood"

[@chancylvania]

and then they make a whole corps of different colored hoods

[@melancholiclonging8641]

Chancylvania Messer haha

[@dyno017rhino]

32:14 Best part of the commentary in my opinion XD

[@kunalhembram8593]

Jason's son Damien ,DC won't do in main continuity,but it may be a possibility of elseworlds.

[@michaelravencharnes9543]

Riddler used to rethink life after owning what you did to a child

[@russellgarifulla1114]

I kinda don't like, that Sal always tells a story right away judging it and telling his own opinion, making Ben, Tiffany n Ethan don't like it too. When Tiffany runs the show, she either tells the story really inspired n emotional, or calm n steady, if she doesn't like it.

[@comicpop]

This is the show, Russ.

[@bbthumb43]

Make your own show with your own opinions then

[@Unknowmn45054]

Russell Garifulla That’s why I think The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the best show on the channel. Sal is often on point about comic goings-on but can also be pretty cynical sounding too. With GBU we still get that knowledge and viewpoint in a helpful dose while also hearing other opinions on the comic that aren’t filtered through Sal’s biases. It’s the kind of variety I think the channel desperately needed.

[@ggez6127]

Sal is pretentious af. Would’ve rather had Tiff host this episode.

[@bbthumb43]

SAL IS THE VOICE OF RIDICULOUS REASON

[@nikthedestroyalator6796]

I hate this books explanation on why Batman won't kill. I choose to believe that Bruce has such a deep hatred and disdain for death because of his parents death that he won't allow anyone else to die, no matter what.

[@alexnejako777]

Hyena is one of the great Firestorm villains. since he cant alter the atoms of living things he has a lot of fearsome nature villains like Hyena, Weasel, Typhoon, and Black Bison who has mystic powers .

[@polilla318]

I sincereley hope you one day cover grant morrison's doom patrol

[@architeuthis3476]

Agreed! _Invisibles_ too!

[@simonstoten4819]

33:45 ish, sometimes you just can’t get rid of a bomb !

[@daoust26]

The Rick and morty reference got me 😂

[@r.babylon2885]

I never realized just HOW MUCH of Jason's identity was stolen by Damian. 1 asshole Robin 2 trained by League of Assassins 3 killed and resurrected

[@nic558]

The first 2 I can overlook but NEVER the death & resurrection
