Red Hood Reading Order
FEBRUARY 14, 2017 BY DAVE 1 COMMENT
The Red Hood was one of the splashiest Batman villains to appear in the 2000’s, calling back to a
legacy of DC Comics history thought forgotten.
Let me note right up front that if you don’t know the secret of the Red Hood, and don’t want it
spoiled, you should absolutely jump straight ahead to Judd Winick and Doug Mahnke’s Batman:
Under the Red Hood. This collections of comics launches the modern Red Hood, and explains the
secret of the Red Hood.

Through a substantial amount of Batman pop culture, most semi conscious Bat fans likely know
the origins of the Red Hood by this point, and you all can check out all Red Hood appearances, as
well as the Batman comics that explain the history of the character and the mask.
Enjoy the comics!
