Years after the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, Batman witnesses the arrival in Gotham of a new vigilante using the name Red Hood, an old identity once connected to the Joker. Brutal and determined, this mysterious opponent sets out to seize control of the criminal underworld by imposing his own rules, freely using methods Batman refuses to accept. As Black Mask struggles to protect his empire and the Joker is drawn back into the conflict, Bruce investigates Red Hood’s identity. The case reopens one of his deepest traumas and forces him to confront his beliefs about justice, revenge, and the limits he has always imposed on himself.
