Batman: Under The Red Hood (2031)

Picking up right after the fractured events of the first film 3 years ago, Bruce has mended ties with his young, hot-tempered second Robin, Jason Todd. Together, they try to restore order to a chaotic Gotham. However, the Joker escapes Arkham with a singular, sadistic goal: to completely break the Dark Knight by targeting his partner. ​Ignoring Batman’s strict tactical orders, an impulsive Jason tracks the Joker to an abandoned chemical warehouse alone. Batman arrives just minutes too late. The warehouse explodes, and Bruce is left pulling Jason's lifeless body from the rubble. The tragedy completely shatters Batman, driving him into a dark, reclusive isolation. ​Three years later (in the present, 2031), a ruthless new vigilante called the Red Hood violently seizes control of Gotham's drug syndicates. He gives the mobs a simple choice: stop or die. When Batman intervenes, he discovers this new killer fights with an identical, brutal mirror of his own martial arts style. ​The mystery unravels during a rooftop confrontation when Red Hood removes his mask, revealing a resurrected, scarred Jason Todd. Saved and altered by the Lazarus Pit, Jason isn't back to be rescued, he's back for vengeance. He condemns Batman’s moral code as a failure, pointing out that the Joker is still alive and terrorizing Gotham while he lay in a grave. ​​The film culminates in a tense, three-way psychological showdown. Jason kidnaps the Joker, forcing Batman into a devastating ultimatum: Bruce must either break his one rule and execute the Joker himself, or Jason will do it, permanently destroying the legacy of the Batman.
