Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)

IMDb plot summary: There's a mystery afoot in Gotham City, and Batman must go toe-to-toe with a mysterious vigilante, who goes by the name of Red Hood. Subsequently, old wounds reopen and old, once buried memories come into the light.
Directed by Brandon Vietti. Starring Bruce Greenwood, Jensen Ackles, John DiMaggio, and Neil Patrick Harris.

With both this and Mask of the Phantasm, which I watched earlier in my challenge, I found myself struggling to get into it as a movie. This one similarly feels like just a long TV show episode, like I'm missing last week's episode to make this one really stick. That being said, it's not a bad TV-episode-like movie. It has some good dramatic action toward the end and builds a surprisingly effective climax with the little bit of worldbuilding it incorporates. Part of the problem with Batman on the whole is that his villains are *always* more interesting than he is, so it's tough to be on his side.

2.5 stars.
