I am a few days late to the game with this one, and I do apologize if you have already seen it. But rumors are going around that the next solo Batman movie could be an adaptation of Under the Red Hood.
There is speculation that the direction of the Batman franchise would be an adaption of a combination of “Under the Hood” and “Death in the Family.”
The “Under the Hood” story line runs in Batman #635, 636
, 637
, Jason Todd’s identity was revealed in 638
, 639
, 640
, 641
, and then continues in 645
, 646
, 647
, 648
, 649
, 650
, and Batman Annual 25
.
The “A Death in the Family” storyline runs through Batman #426-429
Screen Rant had this the other day.
The DC Extended Universe will kick off in a big way next year, starting with Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in the spring, and continuing with the villain team-up film, Suicide Squad, in the fall. After that, we have years of DC Comics movies to look forward to, introducing heroes like Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Cyborg to the big screen for the first time, as well as some offering fans big event films like Justice League 1 & 2 and the supernatural themed Justice League Dark.
In the midst of this massive superhero universe rollout, there’s been vague info on when the two primary staples of the DCEU – Batman and Superman – might once again grace movie screens in their own respective solo films. It seems like it could be 2020 before we’ll see Man of Steel 2 and The Batman reboot; and while we’ve heard lots of plot rumors about the Superman sequel, it’s only today that we’re hearing some first rumored details about the Batman reboot.
Also, as rumors go, Ben Affleck is co-writing and could possibly direct the next solo Batman movie.
That could be something.

I hope this is true. Would love to see Red Hood brought to the big screen.
Been looking for these 2 series for a while now but people want to much for them. Now with this news, the prices are going to go even higher. I guess I will have no choice but to see if there is a TPB for this series. But over all good news. Red Hood has a lot of followers due to the “bad boy” style he has. So this would probably be a rated R movie. I HOPE!!
So, 635 and 638 on this one? And death in the family of course? I got a nice set of death in the family a while back for about £12/$18 (steal, seriously, from a shop rack, even the guy on the till was like wtf)! 635 pretty pricey but lots of room to grow if this happens. If..
