Plot

As grad student, Harleen Quinzel researches a newly deceased Joker for her thesis, she soon uncovers the commonality she shares with Gotham's most-feared; spiraling back into the darkness of her own private and tortured past.

After his final quarrel with the Batman comes to a fatal end, The Joker's followers gather to mourn for the late clown prince of crime as they suddenly rally under the new direction of the next clown up. In response, citizens of Gotham renounce their admiration for The Caped Crusader; protesting the break from his usual humane approach to fighting crime. Soon, the unrest in Gotham evolves into all-out chaos as factions of former "bat-fans" join hands with the grieving clown militia; putting on masks and makeup before storming in the streets. On the same evening, Harleen Quinzel; a Psychology Major at Gotham University and outsider, begins researching the newly deceased Joker and his origins in an effort to get a head start on her thesis - even though it's her birthday. Soon, as her birthday evening goes awry, Quinzel becomes deeply invested in the commonalities she shares with Gotham's once most-feared kingpin; spiraling back into the darkness of her own private and tortured past. Meanwhile, we meet Jason Todd; another independent vigilante in the making. During the day, Jason is Harleen's classmate and friend at Gotham University whilst being the disgruntled, adoptive son of the billionaire, Bruce Wayne. By nightfall, however, Jason is Robin; the faithful, younger counterpart to Batman. Like Batman, Jason too exercised a humane crime-fighting style yet rather reluctantly. As Batman's mantra and Harleen's mental state simultaneously deteriorate during the eve of a revolution, the boy-wonder is soon no more as Jason rejects both Batman's guidance and his helm as Robin. The bodies and the clown masks start mounting as Jason embarks on a lone journey through Gotham City in search of his fallen friend - under his new alias, The Red Hood. Based on the iconic characters by DC Comics, comes an unconventional fan film that shines a new light on Gotham City - like you've never seen before.—Christopher Leong
