Batman: Under The Red Hood

Batman: Under The Red Hood (2019) is an 2019 Live-action adventure, drama, comedic and suspenseful comic book film and is the long awaited solo Batman film to be included in the DC Extended Universe as well as the live-action counterpart to the animated movie of the same name and one of the two sequels to Justice League: Part II. Multiple rumors had tried to pinpoint when and even if this film would be out, from the direction it would go towards with Ben Affleck stepping down from the directors chair to other rumors claiming he’s stepped down from portraying Batman all together. It took an extra 2 years since the box office success of Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice for news to break through: the film had begun principal photography around the time “Justice League” had hit theaters......

.....which meant that an early 2019 release was inevitable. Whether or not this is Ben Affleck’s last time portraying the Caped Crusader remains to be seen.

The film is written and directed by Matt Reeves, produced by Zack Snyder and distributed by both Warner Bros., and D.C Entertainment.

Cast members will include Ben Affleck, Jared Leto, Tobey Maguire, Jermey Irons, Hailee Steinfield, Zac Efron, Steven R. McQueen, etc.

Plot
Over on the mountain side.....

.....just on the outskirts of Gotham......

......the time of day had finally changed as the reflective beaming of the suns shadow began to slowly roll and fade away from the surface as the mild tranquility of the afternoon transitioned into a beautifully cool evening breeze and a beautiful sapphire sky.

The wind was rather soothing as it brimmed past the metal texture, structure and surface of what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse. Rather convenient for someone to be doing business in the middle of nowhere, huh?

Thing is, though......that couldn’t be ANY more further from the truth.

WHACK

The blowing wind sound of a crowbar smacks against the soft tissue and flesh of human skin, leaving another mark on the face of a young man.

With a black eye swollen over his left eye, barely covered with a mask over his face......and his excessive coughing......this boy was in dire straits.

The unfortunate thing about the situation was......this was NO ORDINARY boy.

This.....was the teenage Jason Todd (Ty Simpkins)

The Boy Wonder.

Robin.

The second Robin......if you will.

And he was practically in the WORST condition of his life in here. His bones have been broken, his body has been shattered, his vision was all but blurry, he could barely stand up, and the blood.....

......HIS blood.....

......was splattered all over the walls.

WHACK

Another whack of the crowbar launches him back towards a pile of wooden boxes, as he crashes into them. Once again, he coughs excessively and without any control.

'WOW. That looked like it REALLY hurt.'

That voice from out of the corner of the room was nothing sort of nightmare fuel for the now vulnerable Boy Wonder was nothing short of nightmare fuel inducing. The shadow that perforated through that dark corner of this room could’ve been only ONE person.....

.....the Clown Prince Of Crime himself......

......the Joker (Jared Leto).

Jason: B-Batman? Is that you?

Joker: Batman's not coming to save you kid. He's already searched from roof to sewer for a full 365 days and.....well now......I’d say he's already given up searching.

This little announcement, if you will, made him look down I’m not only disappointment but in pure anger. Mostly because he didn’t believe him.

Joker: Oh, don't look so sad, broski. You have a place with us by our side.

Breathing heavily, Jason skewed out a mighty......

Jason: F__K YOU!!!

Joker: THAT'S THE SPIRIT! Imagine you and me together on the streets chasing down the weak and defenseless. We'd be a NEW dynamic duo. Just like Batman.....and that new boy wonder of his.

“New Boy Wonder”?

Did he.....he just say that as......a means of saying that Batman replaced him?

Jason: What?? You mean he-n-no....

Guess denial is the clincher.

Jason: H-he wouldn't do that!

Joker: No?

He digs into his jacket pocket, unfolding it with care......before shoving it into Jason’s face.

Joker: So this isn't.....Batman with a Robin wanna-be? Or is that—Funny. Was it the ears that fooled me? Or the cape? I can't really tell the difference.

The funny thing was it wasn’t a new Robin. Joker just photoshopped the picture and edited it himself to make it look like it was somebody new.

The little bugger.

Jason: No....Bruce.....

Joker: What was that??

(Uh oh...)

Jason: He wouldn't do that!

Joker: I know it's hard to bare the pain. I didn't even want you to see that picture but sometimes.....you have to be cruel to be kind.

More coming soon....
