Trivia about Batman: Under the Red Hood. * This is the first time that the story of Jason Todd, the second Robin, is told in any DC animated series or feature film. * The story is based on the 1988 Batman Comics storyline 'A Death in the Family', where readers voted via a 1-900 number to either save or kill off the second Robin, Jason Todd. Over 10,000 votes were cast and with only a 72 vote majority, the decision was made to kill him. Todd was later brought back in 2005 as part of the 2005 "Under the Hood" storyline. * The opening sequence in which Batman is carrying Jason's dead body out of the rubble is taken directly from the comic book. * This is the first time Jason Todd has appeared by name outside of the comic books. He has however been mentioned by name twice before.
