SYNOPSIS: The secret history of Batman’s second Robin revealed at long last! Next chapter hints at further revelations so if you’re a Batman: The Animated Series fan, make sure you come along for the ride! Things are (literally, judging from the last panel) heating up! – Javier E. Everything just shines and Kubina adds depth to the minimalist art style. Everything pops on the digital screen, be it the murderous yellow and red glow of The Joker’s eyes, the vibrant palette of the carnival hideout, or the cloudy red skies of Gotham. He even adds his own embellishments to the bat logo inside the yellow oval, as a way of marking a transition from the old look to the new during the flashback. If you like the animated aesthetic, Templeton continues to stun with his art, capturing the visuals of the show perfectly. Jason’s new origin allows Tim to relate to his predecessor far more than he did to Dick Grayson, which should lead to an interesting meet-up, if one should occur. The writing duo had their work cut out for them in order to finesse in a back story that would 1) make sense 2) not just copy and paste comic continuity 3) stand on its own and still remain true to the character of Jason Todd and the concept of a Red Hood.īy taking inspiration from a fairy tale, the Animated Series continuity now has the makings of its own unique Jason Todd and my hat is off to those gentlemen for their inventiveness.
As I’ve discussed previously, there’s a lot of comic Jason in animated Tim. It’s here that Burnett and Dini weave their continuity magic. Joker and his goon quickly provoke a confrontation, causing Jason to flee, but not before leaving evidence behind, evidence that leads the Dark Knight to a stunning revelation as to who has been following him these last few chapters!Īs Bruce heads off into the night to learn more about his no-longer-deceased-former-partner, he leaves Alfred to tell the tragic tale to Tim, who demands that he has a right to know the truth.
He’s got a new henchman, Straightman, who looks like he could give Bane a run for his money. The issue opens upon The Clown Prince of Crime, realizing he is under surveillance. If you’ve been waiting for the moment the Timmverse animated version of Jason “Red Hood” Todd made his full-fledged debut instead of just skulking in the shadows, wait no more! Chapter 9, “Red Son Rising, Part 1”, is a doozy!
Meanwhile, someone launches an assault on the clown prince of crime, the Joker! SYNOPSIS: Batman is hot on the trail of the man who’s been watching him for months, and he can’t believe who it is.
