Reception
Reviewing Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood, Sayantan Gayen of Comic Book Resources noted how the limited series makes use of a non-linear narrative to "paint a complete picture of the past". Gayen also commented on how the comic book series' art style appears to frame characters in low-angle shots in what filmmakers often call the Dutch angle.[15] Matthew Aguilar of ComicBook.com gave Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood a rating of 3.5 out of 5, calling the comic book's art style "stunning" and praising the characters' dialogue and interactions as "charming and full of life".[16] Ray Goldfield of GeekDad gave Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood a score of 8 out of 10, as he felt the comic possesses the "momentum" that Batman: Beyond the White Knight has been lacking in its narrative.[17]
Continuation
After the end of Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood, Jason and Gan appeared together in Batman: Beyond the White Knight, starting in its fifth issue.[18]
