Under the Hood is SO amaz- wait, WHAT?! JASON TODD?!?!?!


My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing bonus feature. It gives the film almost as much depth as the original graphic novel or at least gives us the sensation that it intends to do so and that's quite enough for me.

When I saw the castlist here on IMDb, I saw some young bloke named Vincent Martella seems to have played... Jason Todd!!

Robin/Jason Todd, no less! The second Robin that got killed by the Joker in the four-part Batman saga A Death in the Family, which truly devastated the Dark Knight.

Question; is it in anyway possible that this is NOT an error? Imean, I never saw a Batman, let alone a Robin in this short mockdoc. And I believe there has also been published a story-arc called Under the Hood about the return of Jason Todd. In comicbook-form, that is. Perhaps this is part of the confusion? Then still, why has this Martella-kid been linked to the part?

Any clarification is mostly welcomed :-).

Watchmen Under the Hood is Hollis Mason's Book in the 1985 Graphic Novel.

So technically it pre-dates Batman Under the Hood... so ... coincidence is my guess.
