The classic storyline of the return of Jason Todd. I watched the movie way back and enjoyed it a lot, but never got around to reading the comic. Now that I did, what is the verdict? It's great!

This is a quickly paced fight of who can outsmart who first. Bruce has been outsmarted before but never by someone so close. To know almost everything he will do in nearly every situation. A nice twist is that Jason Todd is revealed pretty early on in a wonderful beat-down to the one who had killed him in the first place. Then we watch as both Red Hood and Batman butt heads and also team up some, leading up to the final confrontation that you know won't go well.

There's a lot to like here. I love the character of Bruce here. A father unsure of what to do about his son coming back to life. It gives the character a nice depth. I also LOVE Black Mask here. He's funny as hell and also a real asshole, too good. Jason is great and maybe one of the only times I really enjoy the character himself. Joker also brings the lolz while giving a nail biting situation at the very end. The very end of the climax is a little flat and the art can be wonky at times.

Overall though this is fantastic. It is a classic for a reason. A 4.5 out of 5.
