Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)



After the death of Jason Todd (Jenson Ackles) at the hands of the Joker (John DiMaggio), Batman (Bruce Greenwood) becomes even more solitary, shunning help from his first Robin, now Nightwing (Neil Patrick Harris), in thwarting the crime lord Black Mask (Wade Williams).  But a new boss named Red Hood has come to town to settle a number of scores and Batman soon finds himself facing the ghosts of the past.

You know, I had always heard that DC's animated films were so much better than any of their live action ones (except for the Nolan trilogy) and it's true.  This is hands-down the best tackling of the Killing Joke aftermath I've ever seen.  Of course, if you're familiar with the story, nothing in the film will come as any sort of surprise.  Still, it's absolutely worth watching.
