This was nothing like the trailer depicts. Just one recap of the whole Under the Red Hood movie, and 4 other pointless animated shorts of other DC comics. No secondary story of Jason Todd, no nothing.
Just sooooo bad! I wish I payed attention to the reviews before renting it! This is why Marvel universe is doing better then DC... DO NOT BUY... you can literally watch the whole recap in YouTube... heck I think the preview it’s the whole movie.. just like a minute more.
I brought it day one release and I know for a fact there was two version of the film ok cool brought the interactive version it didnt work maybe I did something wrong no big deal go back to rewatch it later to have it say non interactive so I will no longer buying digital if you want to watch this buy or rent the disc but I do like how apple can change things up on you without you knowing
What a let down. Don’t buy. Not worth it.

This is the non-interactive version, which is just a recap of the Red Hood movie.
You can watch clips of the interactive version on YouTube for free.
Wow. The selling point was the Batman story line...way to rip off fans and viewers.
I bought the movie and cannot say it was worth the money. You are buying bits and pieces of "Batman Under the Red Hood" with a few alternate ending storylines. To make you feel like you got your monies worth they added four Showcases, however not one of which is new. I am sorely disappointed.
FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.ZERO STARS
This is basically a clip show and not what it was billed to be. The actual Batman portion was about :30 minutes and then shows that are based on something completely unrelated to Batman. Do not waste your money and wait until it’s on a streaming service you already pay for or redbox. A total waste of money unfortunately

This is an odd one. Here I was expecting a feature-length animated adaptation of the “Death in the Family” storyline from the Batman universe. What you get is a half-hour, flashback-driven chat between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent comprised of clips from previously released DC animated movies.
The run time in the description is misleading, because after the credits roll there are totally unrelated shorts like Sgt. Rock tacked on. The bonus content includes alternate, what-if storylines that are completely unsatisfying. Why aren’t they after the credits instead of that other random stuff?
I bought this at a discount, but I’m still feeling ripped off.

This in no way should have been titled Death in the Family. Its cut up footage from the Red Hood being narrated by Bruce Wayne. The follow on shorts are all obscure characters and none of them were good. Waste of money and time.
Literally just a bad recap of Red Hood and some shorts. Total waste of $$$.
This is terrible just a recap!
Misleading. I’m filing for a refund.
I thought I was watching the aftermath of Batman: Under The Redhood but it’s not. This whole movie are short films that have absolutely nothing to do with the trailer besides the first short film. Each one is about 20 mins such a waist of money.
This is just a recap of UNDER THE REDHOOD - which is one of the best DC Animated movies out there. Just go BUY/RENT that one.
This seems like a cash grab.
It’s not what was advertised
Come on, it is a summary of the Red Hood.......but horrible. I wish I could get my money back.
If you’ve watched Batman: Under the Red Hood the DO NOT BUY THIS!! It’s 90% of UtRH and 10% filler. Waste of money.
This movie isn’t worth one star!

I am sorry to see all the negative reviews for the digital version. I opted for the Blu-ray plus digital out of habit. The truly interactive part is only available on the Blu-ray. The digital version gives you three more of the seven possible endings in the extras. Yes - they should have made that part clear for those who purchased only the digital version - that they wouldn’t get the full functionality and all seven possible endings available on the disc.
That being said, I really liked the movie. Under the Red Hood is my favorite animated Batman movie and what brought me back into comic books after years away. Batman is my favorite hero/anti-hero followed very closely by Red Hood. There was a lot of uproar when Jason Todd was killed off in the comics. This gives you the what if he didn’t die and different progressive choices that lead to different endings. Some were shocking. Most were heartbreaking. I thought all were entertaining. I would recommend the disc, but I also watched the digital version and did not feel cheated but definitely wanted to see them all.
Just a recap of The Red Hood (which is GREAT!), and used as a Trojan Horse for other shorts for DC.
Super disappointed -really wanted a real Batman movie.
You get just the best choices in this. None of the negatives and no ability to choose those outcomes.
Where are the other options?
This movie had HUGE potential! It could have been a stepping stone for their animated universe as they basically restarted it in Apocalypse War, but it’s 30 minutes of recapping Under the Red Hood. The alternate endings are sub par, and not worth the money spent on it.
This is just Batman recounting “Batman: Under the Red Hood”. It was such a waste of money!
Complete crap, waste of money. It was a rehash of under the red hood. DC should be ashamed of themselves.
This isn’t the interactive film. Just a short recap of under the red hood with some extra added on. Wish I had saved the $15 snd bought the physical copy so I could get what I was actually looking for
Why the cover is red hood but nothing new about that
This was horrible. I’d ask for my money back but I don’t want go through all the bull crap just for 5$ rent. Just a recap of the red hood movie with extra scenes of dialogue of in between scenes. What a money grab waste of a film.
The first 28:24 of the movie is about Bruce having a “therapy session” with someone - (don’t want to spoil it). During the session, we can see Bruce detailing the events of “Batman Under the Red Hood” the other person but nothing else is shown. The rest of the movie is DC’s showcase of 4 other storylines which have nothing to do with the movie itself. Do not waste your money. It is a waste of time.

A quick retelling of Under the Red Hood. Besides some additional scenes this was very disappointing
I did not realize this was just a condensed version of a previously released DC aninated movie, with a couple new shorts thrown in. To be honest, I recognized a couple of the other shorts as things I've seen before as well. I hope this isn't some new thing DC is going to be doing. Recutting previously released content, and selling as new. I'm definitley not going to be buying DC stuff day one anymore. I will be waiting to find out if it is actual new content.
This is a mass up of different stories and not a death in the family only stay away, just reuses animation from Under the Red Hood for the first part which was death in the family everything after that is complete bunk.
I rented this movie but there are no choices there is just one short that is a recap of Under the Red Hood. The other shorts are boring. Do I have to buy the movie in order to get the proper experience or did DC pull a bait and switch? Also tone down the sexism guys it’s 2020. Very upset.
Just a recap of other films. Nothing new. Not worth the time or money. Felt scammed.
We were promised an interactive story with multiple endings, and iTunes hardly lacks the capability to allow that to happen. Still, all I got was one story that was a glorified clip show from Batman: Under the red hood.
I’d be able to forgive that if I could at least gotten what I was promised, but I wasn’t. I had already heard the movie could’ve been better in terms of the stories not being as fleshed out as they could’ve been, but what happened here was basically theft. Don’t buy this movie here
And iTunes, I want my money back
They lied and don’t give you the option to view the alternative option of the story unless you buy it in full
Basically a narration of Red Hood with a few B-list hero stores attached. You only get the alternate endings if you buy a physical copy. What a waste of money. My advice? Hard pass.
Not even in the rental version. BS.

A new low for DC animation. No new movie here. Just a 20 min recap of a 10 year old movie plus other shorts that had been previously released. DC is no longer animation artists, they are now Scam artists
You don’t not get to choose the alternative time lines. You just watch a re cap of “Batman: Under The Red Hood” movie with Batman narrating it. A total waste of money. I regret buying it

Let me preface this by saying I never write reviews. After this hot garbage, I felt the need to warn others. This is billed as an interactive movie, but the digital version is nothing of the sort. It’s just a short retelling of the Red Hood story and other DC animated shorts. Totally not worth the money I spent on it. Skip this and save yourself the money.
This is a recap of Red Hood - that is it! Nothing more - when the credits ran at the end, I was furious! What a waste of money
Yup. That’s right. Like others have said the movie is only 30min long. And it has a bunch of other DC shorts attached to make it seem like a feature film. Also the bonus content is that same 30min movie cut into shorts with different endings.
This isnt even a movie. Read up the reviews before you buy. You will waste your money
Basically the editors cut up the Under the Red Hood movie and added about ten minutes of new footage. A couple ideas were interesting but not worth the time to even watch them.
Terrible version of Under the Red Hood. Waste of money.
Are you serious? DC been promoting this for months based on the premise of the movie being interactive and you getting to pick alternate endings, and yet for $5 all I got was a lame sparknotes recap of a Batman movie from 10 years ago and some shorts staring some c-list at best characters. What the heck?! The least you guys could’ve done is included the alternate scenes here. Complete rip-off. This is why Marvel is still my favorite lol
Waste of money and time!!! Didn’t have nothing to do with what was shown On the trailer. I want my money back honestly.
