Suggested by matthewfenner
Gotham City, Earth-291620 — 2025. Two years after Batman’s death, the city has fallen deeper into chaos, ruled by fear and the ghosts of its past. Jason Todd, the once hotheaded Robin turned ruthless vigilante Red Hood, has spent twenty-five years waging a personal war on crime, crossing lines Bruce never would. But when news spreads that the Joker has once again escaped Arkham Asylum, Jason’s long-suppressed rage resurfaces. For decades, the Clown Prince of Crime has poisoned Gotham’s soul and haunted Jason’s every waking thought—the man who murdered him, remade him, and robbed him of peace. Now, with Gotham on the brink and the Bat-Family scattered, Red Hood vows to end the Joker’s reign of terror once and for all—no matter the cost. As bodies pile up and old wounds reopen, Jason descends into a brutal cat-and-mouse game across Gotham’s decaying alleys and blood-soaked rooftops. Every confrontation drags him closer to the edge, forcing him to confront not just the Joker, but the darkness he inherited from Batman himself. Allies like Nightwing and Oracle plead for restraint, but Jason knows mercy is what let the monster live this long. In this R-rated, gritty finale of vengeance and redemption, Red Hood: Last Laugh pits Gotham’s most broken soul against its eternal nightmare—one final, savage showdown to decide if justice dies with the Batman… or is reborn through the blood of the Joker.
