According to Mania, Judd Winick is writing a screenplay for an animated film adaption of Batman: Under The Hood. Winick had collaborated with artists Doug Mahnke and Paul Lee to do the comic book storyline.

The comic book saw the return of former Robin Jason Todd, under the guise of the Red Hood. Returning to Gotham to avenge his death at the hands of the Joker, the character eventually comes to blows with Batman. Major DC characters, including Nightwing, Green Arrow and Zatanna made cameo appearances in the series.

Interestingly, this will be the first official animated Batman film since Batman: Gotham Knight. Do you think it is a good idea to do a film adaption of the storyline?

Under the Hood is one of my favorite batman stories out there, I'm definitely pumped for this. I think it would be cool to see the death of jason todd in disjointed, grainy, black and white flash backs. We see Red Hood beating up some thugs, then a quick flash back, then back to the thugs being killed, then another flash back, and then Bruce waking up in a cold sweat. Something like that at the beginning would really set the tone.

I think you can just skip it della, have a flash back of him breaking out of his coffin with no knowledge of how or why he's back. Leave it a mystery, one that even batman can't explain.

Really weird. DC Direct is dumb for not giving Grayson his 15 minutes of fame yet.

I honestly think the should do The Arkham Asylum as an animated movie. Big potential there I think.

How he get resurrected isn't really that important, it's not like they talk about it after the fact, it was a dumb way to do it so DC doesn't mention it anymore. The reason for resurrection aside Under the hood is an amazing story and definitely will make for an excellent cartoon.

I would rather see A Death in The Family first because Jason Todd has never been presented in animated film or show. I loved that story as a kid. Also I wish they had never brought him back because that tragedy made Batman more interesting. Plus I always thought Jason was a douche. Plus the story was one of many that showed just how F***ed up the Joker really was. Though I have never had a chance to read the Red Hood story so I dont know.

You have to read it Dmon, though the reason Todd got resurrected was dumb this story makes it worth while. Under the hood is one of my favorite Batman stories of all time, and it is certainly a worthy sequel to A Death in the Family, after years of obscurity this story really hammered home the effects of Todd's death on Batman. People had pretty much forgotten about Todd, he wasn't mentioned anymore and boom he's back and now Batman has to look his greatest failure in the face. A lot of people claim that bringing todd back lessened his impact, but what they forget is that before he returned he no longer had an impact he was dead and forgotten, a rare point of Batman trivia. With his twisted return he became relevant again, he came back to cause even more trauma to Batman. I mean not only did Batman fail to save him, but because of that he is also responsible for the torment that Todd received after he became "healed" through the lazerus pit.

How would you like to repeatedly look your biggest failure in the face, to see his accusing eyes stair back at you? When written well he has an even greater emotional impact than he ever could while he was dead.

@ thwhtGuardian that does sound cool I have been wanting to read it but now from what you have said I want to read it even more. I did not realize that it was pretty much forgoten now cause when I was reading regularly in the 90s that torment from it was still shown alot in the stories.

I always thought that the torment caused by what happened to Jason and Barbra was greater then the torment caused by his parents being killed.

It's certainly up there. I think it's potent because it's represented a total failure of his mission. He became batman not just to avenge the deaths of his parents, but to protect innocents and the ones he loved from violence...in the end he was shown that his efforts will ultimately be met with failure...and yet he can't stop, he has to trudge on. That's powerful.
