Story

Meta

I wanted to get deeper into Jason's head during his rise as Red Hood and explore his emotional journey with regards to Bruce, so I remixed the Under the Hood comic arc, the Under the Red Hood movie, and Red Hood: Lost Days. I pulled from each of them since I really like what each one brings to the table, so the canons are a little mixed together (though I purposefully wrote both the ending for the comic and the movie, because they're very different and I couldn't resist). All of the dialogue comes from the original Under the Hood arc in Batman—feel free to ask and I can tell you the issue. I hope you enjoy! I listened to a lot of Kate Bush as I wrote this 😅
