It Runs In The Family

Well...in the DCAU, there never was a red hood and all...or so we thought. A red hood appeared in a comic series which took place in the DCAU, Batman adventures. Now we never got to know who the red hood was, because the comic was cancelled before that plot line could be finished...but..the writer has confirmed who the red hood is...And The Red hood in the DCAU..would have been revealed as Andrea Beaumont’s mother, Victoria Beaumont, who also happened to be the real head of the Valestra mob. Years ago, she faked her death in an attempt to get her family away from the Valestra mob, and was disappointed to see her family eventually fall into their clutches. However, when she saw what happened to her husband, and what eventually became of her daughter, she felt it was time to not only get revenge on the Valestra mob, but take Gotham for herself. Inevitably, this would have led to a devastating confrontation between her, Batman, and Andrea Beaumont.

Its a shame that the comic got cancelled, cause I feel that plot could have helped to make the comic even better. 

Phantasma and the Red Hood belongs to DC comics.
