Under the Red Hood by Judd Winick
5.0
The story that got me into Batman (REALLY into anyway) from the movie, I can't believe I've never actually read it until now. A lot of the animated film is line for line when it matters, and I don't blame them. The writing is solid - snarky, smart, and completely in character.
I love the cameos in this that the film did not have - Bruce's exploration into how others came back from the dead, part of his denial that Jason really is back. I also appreciate how Ra's pool comes into play, it didn't resurrect Jason but did give him his real memories back while messing him up. He really goes through it and I think this does a good job of showing how he's not the same at all. This is really where my knowledge of the modern canon stops, so I'm excited to maybe get into some Red Hood and the Outlaws later on
