A classic DC Comics story, Batman: The Hill, has been re-written for a new generation and features former Dark Knight protégé Jason Todd as the focal point of Red Hood: The Hill.2000’s Batman: The Hill, created by writer Christopher Priest and artist Shawn Martinbrough, told the story of a neighborhood in Gotham overlooked by Batman and the GCPD. The series introduced a community devoid of hope, with corrupt public figures neglecting its impoverished citizens. Facing the evil residing in the Hill, Batman had to confront the limitations of his methods. Martinbrough has returned to The Hill twenty-four years later with a new protagonist and a story of a community choosing to fight against corruption. Per DC, Red Hood: The Hill sees, “Jason Todd return to the neighborhood he once called home, finding himself in the middle of a conflict between aspiring vigilantes and the descendants of those who preyed on the Hill in years past.”Martinbrough continued, “Years later, (Batman group editor) Ben Abernathy approached me to write a two-part Red Hood story that took place between Joker War and Future State. I thought about how to make a story that wouldn’t necessarily change him but give readers a new experience. As far as I know, the Hill had never been expanded on since Christopher Priest and I created it, so I thought about what it might be like twenty years later.”
