Batman: Second Chances

Product Information

The acceptance of the Robin mantle passing from one to the next could not be clearer, and they panels on which these take place beautifully show how the end of one era has been accepted and the dawn of another era has been celebrated by the participants themselves. But, this seems to be a common failing in DC's current editorial office: they don't feel like their collections deserve explanations even when they really need them. But when a bullet fired from the Joker's gun nearly clips Robin's wings for good, their partnership is severed, and Batman resumes his war on crime alone.

Al igual que en la primera parte, en esta tenermos más historias autoconclusivas con villano de turno, que cierran el arco de Batman y el nuevo Robin, además de mostrarnos que pasó con Dick en una mini historia junto con Jason que es muy buena. Resurrecting him as the antihero Red Hood was an egregious mistake, as his death had more meaning to the mythos than his brief life ever did, and should've been held sacrosanct. Inside the hospital, the doctors tell Harvey that his bad side has been mostly submerged and they believe that if they remove the scars that created Two-Face, the persona will be gone forever.There are a couple of stories that have interesting themes, and another issue has Two-Face and Batman facing off in a baseball stadium that's full of painful, yet somehow entertaining, baseball lingo. The issues are interrupted by Year One which makes things a bit funny in regard to Jason’s timeline. Penguin explains that while Harvey had stolen a jewel-encrusted statue of a two-headed roc from him, he isn't behind the kidnapping and would rather take on Two-Face directly.

Written by acclaimed mystery novelist Max Allan Collins, best known for his graphic novel The Road to Perdition, which was made into a Academy Award-winning movie starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, and Jude Law.

He begins his run with the first chapter in an ongoing story where Batman is hunting down a serial killer.

When they announced the Under the Red Hood Deluxe I was kinda hoping they’d slide in a bit of Jason’s Robin era as some extra material but sadly no. In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach.The switch to Starlin’s scripts at the end is a welcomed change but comes too late to do anything about the book’s overall feel as a complete miss. When Batman goes into action on his own and meets a young hoodlum named Jason Todd, he's determined to guide Jason away from a life of crime. The Dark Knight sees Jason�s potential to be a hero-as well as the rage and revenge that torment him.
