The film stars Bruce Greenwood as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jensen Ackles as the Red Hood/Jason Todd, and John DiMaggio as the Joker. The screenplay was written by Judd Winick, who also wrote the "Under the Hood" run in the monthly Batman comic. Bruce Greenwood reprises the voice of... Batman in Young Justice.

Robin, half-dead, is left trapped inside. Although he attempts to escape, a planted explosive destroys the building, taking Robin with it as Batman arrives too late to save him. Five years later, a masked man known as Red Hood muscles his way into command of the drug trade, assuring protection from Batman and crime lord Black Mask in return.
