About the series
In this 2005-2006 DC miniseries, writer Judd Winick and artists Doug Mahnke and Paul Lee reintroduce a figure from Batman’s past whose brutal methods challenge the Dark Knight’s code. A new vigilante, Red Hood, emerges in Gotham, wielding lethal force and a deep knowledge of the city’s underworld. The story pits Batman against a ghost from his history, forcing him to confront the limits of his no-kill rule. This compact, two-issue arc is a key chapter in the modern Batman mythos, setting the stage for a lasting rival.
