Anyone lucky enough to have seen this yet? Apparently WB are throwing out screener copys.
I could if I want to, *evil laugh*
Yea, if you're not going to buy it you should at least rent it. The more money they make, the more of these they'll continue to release.
Personally, I'm still hoping we get another theatrical release of a DC animated film.

Believe me, I would buy it if I could, but, like Public Enemies, I'm guessing that this won't be released in the UK, therefore, if the only way I can get it is through, certain channels lets say, then I will
It is an absolute disgrace that these are not available in the UK. What are they waiting for?
stupid question alert
what is under the red hood? is it about the joker when he was the red hood?
Isn't it about Jason Todd?
I thought I heard that its gonna be a secret who it is, and that its not really been mentioned who it is, actually, isn't this a new story?

I contacted Warner Bros in the UK a few days ago and got a response from them. Good news it appears - I will post it later this evening.

Woah, awesome, looks like I'll be picking them up now, thanks ;D
Not to double post, but I've seen it, watched it at a mates last night, he found it some how, so I had too;
- Its really dark, with little to no humor to it
- Really good story
- Pretty damn violent, and at one specific part very violent, so I'd reccommend actually watching it first before showing any younger one's
- I actually liked the voice of Batman, the guy who done it in Crisis On Two Earths, I hated, made Batman sound like an 80 year old, but this guy was really good, no Conroy, but good none-the-less
Entertaining for what it is but, like most of those animated DTV features by DC, nothing special. Gotham Knight is still the best post-TAS animated Batman, and I'd love to see something similar in the future.

So you didn't like
In Darkness Dwells...? :)
Just saw an ad for this on marvel.com. ;D
Must be REALLY good. Can't wait to see it.
Saw it recently as well and I must say I really liked it, the animation was mostly reminiscent of TAS, the action was intense and the story was very good. I'll rank it in the top three of Batman animated movies.
Caught this again last night. Quite a while between my last viewing, and it's still pretty good I must say. The action sequences are well done, although I would've preferred Nightwing's quips to be toned down a notch. Would've like more Joker, but what we got was good enough.
The best piece of dialogue was given by The Joker: "You did it! You found a way to win AND EVERYBODY STILL LOSES!"
Summarises a perfect Batman hollow victory finale. Joker's alive, but he lost his ultimate victory to die with Batman and Jason. And will be out to get that chance again. Batman stopped Jason, but he is potentially dead from the explosion and if alive, would have greater resentment towards him. And Batman is alive, but has to carry more mental weight. It's all back at the beginning, and is going to be worse the next time around. These incidents just build and build on top of each other, and become more personal.
This was a very good story i was compelled by it , its very dark but truly cool and as someone who hasnt been very consistant with the comics its an easier way to learn the origins !!!
I saw this movie two years ago, and I saw it again two nights ago. My reaction remained the same: it's great! 8)
I thought the story between Jason Todd's death, revival and reveal were juggled very well, the whole movie had this sense of very good pacing, I thought the secondary characters like Nightwing and Ra's al Ghul served their purpose to the story just right and didn't feel like I had to see more of them. I liked how Black Mask kept punching his own henchmen in the face out of frustration. ;D It felt like he was the comic relief instead of Joker, but I didn't mind that.
One thing that does make me want to nick-pick though is Batman's fear of killing the Joker would suddenly make him afraid of becoming an unstoppable mass-murderer (at least that's what I thought). I also thought the voice for the Joker didn't match, except for the deranged laughter.
Nonetheless it was very well told - luckily they managed adapting two or three stories without making it drag on. Another thing, I reckon Bruce Greenwood is just as good as Kevin Conroy.
Can't believe I never responded to this thread...
Under the Red Hood is up there with Mask of the Phantasm as one of my favorite Batman films. If I could change one thing, it'd be that Jason Todd's Robin costume would've stayed with the traditional look when he got older in the movie (instead of adopting the Tim Drake suit), so that the shot of Batman holding his body in the beginning would've stuck closer to the iconic image from A Death in the Family.
Other than that, it's got some great emotional scenes for Bruce/Batman, a lot of memorable Joker moments, and one hell of a third act. The final conflict is so raw, emotional, and personal. Everything from the Batman vs. Jason fight scene to the confrontation with Joker to the quiet flashback ending- "This is the best day of my life..."- has got to be my favorite ending of any Batman film.

TDK, wherever he is, would probably say that he and I have a gentleman's agreement to take turns.
I, however, would simply say I don't know what you're talking about and change the subject. Speaking of which, did you see this?

I agree.
I flipped through the comic and came to the conclusion my enjoyment of it rivals TDK Returns.
We have:
A foe who knows Batman's every move and matches him physically, giving great action sequences.
A foe who has an intimate history with Batman, giving a level of emotion that is hard to beat.
A foe who forces Batman to justify his methods, giving interesting philosophical debate.
In terms of a fully developed cast of allies apart from Alfred all I really need are Nightwing, Oracle, Robin and Red Hood. I have embraced Red Hood's existence as a key event in Batman's career just as much as Knightfall. I really like what it brings to the table.
I enjoy the trauma of having to confront a past believed to be long buried, and the way Batman processes that. At first he doesn't believe and puts in the time to investigate. When he accepts the truth, the way he holds onto past memories rather than the present gives me goosebumps.
This page below and its accompanying dialogue has particularly stuck with me:
