DO NOT rent it digitally, interactive functionalities are not available, waste of money without it, have no idea why they don't mention it.

*Digital versions don’t come with interactive functions*
“The fans will remember that.”

"Spoiler, DC readers weren't very fond of Jason Todd at the time" - Not true! The vote was incredibly close

[devinforman]

Feel like I got ripped off. Bought it digitally and no choices at all. A bunch of cool shorts though but still can't believe this wasn't mentioned.

[LoksTheGamer]

Funny how most of the comments are reviews of don't buy the digital, lmao.

[LOREWITHBLAZER]

All this would have been prevented if Jason listen to Batman

[Makman]

Feels like one of those DVD interactive games from the early 2000's.

You HAVE to buy the Blu Ray disc!
I wasted $15 on digital, because it doesn't have the interactive choices and ONLY has the Red Hood story...

This just screams "Jason will remember that"

[shahmegat]

Jenson dont voice red hood because this is young jason. Not adult jason.

The only downside was that you could SEE the drop in quality between the original Under the Red Hood scenes and the new scenes.

"Don't go after joker alone" should have listened to the world's greatest detective

[sigma]

"not all versions of the movie include that option". Ya the digital release only got a recap of under the red hood

[ElricSowrd]

Kinda reminds of Telltale take on Batman.

I bought the movie today. While it was an interesting experience, it definitely could’ve been better. Story wise, I liked the alternative scenarios. But they did so many shortcuts with certain plots. I wished they fleshed them out more.

[MTVOO]

Black Mask’s deaths in this were hilarious

Batman: Under the Red Hood the Snyder Cut

[notjosh]

So true would have been better off if they just made a movie revolving around those alternate stories.

[apple-guy]

I’m not sure I’m into this picking a choice through out the movie to watch different scenarios.. i just wanted to watch on straight story..🤷🏻‍♂️

The new red hood va is fine but this movie honestly reminded me about how Jesen ackles is probably one of the most underrated comic book va’s ever. He was so perfect in the role.
