Back from the Dead: Feeling remorse for his actions that ultimately cost Jason Todd's life, Ra's al Ghul arranges for the boy to be brought back to life by having his body submerged into a Lazarus Pit.Automatic Crossbows: One of Riddler's mooks uses one.Audible Sharpness: One of the tetrad of assassins that comes after the Red Hood has glowing blue swords-they make an obvious noise whenever a bullet is blocked or something is cut.Unfortunately, this means that Ra's is also responsible for all the trouble Jason causes as the Red Hood. He attempted to make up for his mistake by stealing Jason's body shortly before it was to be returned to Gotham, and resurrected him using the Lazarus Pit. The Atoner: Ra's al Ghul felt remorseful for indirectly causing Jason's death, via hiring the Joker to keep Batman and Robin distracted, under the delusion he could control him.
BATMAN UNDER THE RED HOOD MOVIE
As You Know: Used several times throughout the movie to explain who/what many lesser known characters and plot points are.He is ultimately revealed as a Woobie Anti-Villain. Even when Batman broke into his lair and almost laid the smack down on him, he called his guards off saying that he will be 'entertaining a guest', and the next scene was Ra's and Batman sitting down for a drink while Ra's tells his story. Affably Evil: Ra's al Ghul, who states that he never resorts to violence or killing unless it's for a "greater cause" and is deeply remorseful that his hiring of the Joker was ultimately what led to Jason's murder his attempt to fix things via Lazarus Pit resurrection is what sets off the main plot.Likewise, the removal of the ties to Infinite Crisis also meant the removal of Deathstroke, Captain Nazi, Hyena, and (technically) Superboy-Prime, as well as the destruction of Bludhaven by Chemo.As noted above, Gotham's then-police commissioner Michael Akins is replaced with the more traditional James Gordon.The absence of Tim Drake is the most notable since that means that this Batman never took on another sidekick after Jason's death. Batman, Nightwing, Alfred, and Jason are the only members of the Bat-Family featured in the movie note though Jason makes a cryptic reference to Barbara Gordon when he mentions "the friends crippled".Adaptation Title Change: When the "Under the Hood" arc was adapted into a movie, they added the word 'red' in the title, and thus we got Batman: Under the Red Hood.This is likely the reason the more familiar James Gordon is police commissioner in the movie when the Joker tried to set Black Mask and the drug dealers working with Red Hood on fire rather than Michael Akins, who was commissioner in the comics at the time.He's gone from a Chessmaster, He-Man Woman Hater, to a guy with a Hair-Trigger Temper constantly complaining he's Surrounded by Idiots (except for his right-hand woman, who's probably the only person who works for him he has yet to punch).
