We’re back again with our Tooncast beyond crossover spectacular. Returning this week are Mike “TFG1” Blanchard and Steve “Megatron”. This week, we talk about a movie that is far superior than the comic from which it was adapted. Under The Red Hood is an exciting take on the return of Jason Todd, also known as the second Robin.We give away a few spoilers, but it’s nothing you don’t get from the first ten minutes of the film, anyway.
Overall, we liked this.
Also, for our bonus section, we conclude our first attempt at the video games episode. By the end, it becomes obvious why we recorded a second take. Still, we felt that the conversation was entertaining enough to release as supplemental material. Now as to what we’re going to put on the end of next week’s Tooncast Beyond episode, I have no idea. We’ll think of something.
Bravo guys, I felt the same as you with this movie. Best part was I have very little background with the the comics and had no idea that they planned to bring Jason Todd back. So the transition to the reveal was smooth for me to understand. Apocalypse wasn’t so bad, average until the end then it was great.
I really enjoyed this one, too. The fact that Nightwing was played by Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Todd by Jensen Ackles really sold me. It was quite a fun ride to watch. ^^
I totally agree. Champion effort in story and voice acting here. Probably my favorite of this series.
Also, you played the whole j-suite melody? That is friggin’ AWESOME!
FYI: the bit of Batman jumping through a hurled car’s windows was lifted from Batman vs. Hulk (1981).
