Batman: Under the Red Hood

   This post relates not to a comic, but to a DC Classic animated movie, "Under the Red Hood". Now with Comic book related movies, comes a lot of incorrect hooha. However, this movie does not. There are a few minor details that are focused on more, and a few comic related moments that are ignored, but overall it gets the point across.
   The story opens in a warehouse were The joker is beating Jason Todd ( second Robin now deceased) to death with a crowbar. Joker leaves, and a bomb goes off killing Jason right as Batman arrives. Cuts to modern day, Batman meets the new Red Hood in a rooftop chase sequence, and loses him, but through voice clarity, finds that The Hood calls him Bruce. So after a sequence of Black Mask and the Red Hood having a turf war, The Black Mask sends in the Fearsome Hand of Four to fight the Red Hood, and is then met by Batman, and the two square off against the Four, and after a victory, Red Hood vanishes leaving a single drop of Blood on one of the Four's swords.

   So then metaphorical feces fan slinging happens. DNA matches the blood to that of Jason Todd, which leads to the sympathetic vendetta to save Jason from this new life of crime. At this point, Black Mask has gone into cahoots with the Joker, who has put, not only Black Mask but, all of the Black Mask's goons into a truck bed, filled with gasoline, and drops a lighter. His plan to... well... his lack of plan was then thwarted by the Batman who douses the flame with a Batplane projected fire extinguisher. Batman then grapple hooks the Joker from the truck and begins to carry him away, until the Red Hood cuts the Joker free and escapes with him.

    The two Meet up in Crime Alley and Chase through the streets until they crash through the wall of an abandoned apartments bathroom, where batman brakes the wall of a bathtub, the wall of the toilet, and the wall... with Jason Todd's head. Jason then holds a gun to Batman and reveals that he has captured the Joker, and demands Batman shoot the latter. Batman refuses and leaves.

    The majority aforementioned is absolutely accurate. Thus Under the Red Hood is a good watch for all you diehard Batfans.

JSA: Liberty Files

   This blog relates to a DC time bender called "JSA: Liberty Files. This comic is about a what if world in which the JSA were heroes and spies helping fight the Axis Powers in an underground race for time.
   This story focuses around three main characters. The Owl (Doctor Mid-nite), The Clock (Hourman) and the Bat (Batman), who are all three intelligence seekers for the U.S. armed forces.

                                    (From top) The Clock, The Bat, And The Owl
   In part one, They are tailing a German smuggler Jack the Grin (The Joker) who is carrying plans for a German secret weapon. They intercept him in Egypt, and recover the plans, only finding that the plans reveal the "ümbermensch" or in German, the Superman.

                                                           Jack the Grin
   Part two, starts on a sadder note. The Owl had been injured in a previous battle with the Germans and is recovering in the hospital when is killed by a German assassin. They (Now the Bat and the Clock) meet with a Swiss liaison, Terry Sloane, known as Mister Terrific.  However a German agent known as the Scarecrow bursts in and begins to fight Sloane, and during the struggle, Sloane's wife is killed. Then Sloane dons the Mister Terrific Alter-ego, and joins the Bat and The Clock , who all hunt down and kill the Scarecrow. (All the while Batman had been writing his thoughts in a small black journal, and when asked what he was writing, he responded with "nothing" and proceeded to burn the journal. Classic Batman moment.)

                                                  The Scarecrow
   The Bat then travels to Egypt, and confronts the German Superman, revealed to be the Martian Manhunter, who do to his ability to absorb thoughts from other people, Jon had only known Hitler's obscured and hate filled thought of the world. So Batman Dons a Jet-Pack, flys into the middle of the Germans rally, and touches The Martian Manhunter, who then sees that Hitler is... well.... a crazy murderer. So he then decides to join the allies. Batman stopped the release of the German superman just in time, for had he not, the allies were going to release the actual Superman.

    Part Three and forward will come later.
