It follows the source material for the character. It doesn't add scenes which further shows him being an inept character in the universe before they show the killing, and in fact the focus of the movie is his resurrection and his ability to go toe to toe with the bat, NOT his death. It shows PLENTY of respect to Jason Todd. Have you seen that movie?

As for the second part, I never said I would want to show it to anyone, I merely mentioned the two people I live with. THis is your own leap of logic.

Under the Red Hood definitively strays from the source material--way more than the Killing Joke did. I guess the problem you have is that you like the way one strays more than the other.

 

The closest DCU films to the comics have been Dark Knight Returns pt 1&2, Batman Year One, and The Killing Joke. The rest take a lot of liberties, some good and some bad. At least, with Under The Red Hood, the same guy that penned the comic penned the screenplay (Judd Winning). Maybe that's why it seemed better to you.

All Star Superman is also pretty faithful to the original Grant Morrison 12 part series.
