Batman: Under the Red Hood #[nn]

In a quiet moment of grief, Batman stands before the coffin of Jason Todd, searching for answers in the silence. Flashbacks reveal the complex bond between Batman and the young Robin, a relationship shaped by loss, loyalty, and the weight of choices that would echo far beyond their time together.

In "Franchise, Part 1: Supply Side Economics," Batman clashes with Red Hood as the two pursue Black Mask’s criminal empire, each driven by their own code. When Deathstroke appears, offering Red Hood a dangerous alliance, the lines between vengeance, justice, and control begin to blur.

In "Franchise, Part 2: The Away Team," Red Hood finds himself targeted by the Black Mask, who sends Deathstroke’s elite trio—Captain Nazi, Hyena, and Count Vertigo—to eliminate him. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Red Hood teams up with Batman to stop the villains, but their clash of tactics and morals puts their partnership to the test.

In "All They Do Is Watch Us Kill, Part 1," Black Mask attempts to bargain with Red Hood, but when the deal collapses, the situation turns deadly—leaving Red Hood seemingly dead. In a chilling twist, Red Hood sends a cryptic message to Alfred through a package containing a single strand of the Joker’s hair.
