What to read after Under the Red Hood?

Hey guys, so I just finished Under the Red Hood and I'm slightly confused. At the end of Batman #650 Joker shoots the C4 and sets it off. The smoke clears and there is the sillouette of Batman in the rubble. Next in the TP is Batman Annual #25 which is about how Jason came back to life but doesn't reveal what happened after Joker set off the bomb. Then we have pages from Batman #618 at the end when he fights Jason/Clayface.

Am I missing something? What happened after the C4 went off? Batman obviously lived but what about the other two? What should I read next to find out what happened directly after Batman #650? This seems like an insanely abrupt ending.

Infinite Crisis is pretty good. Though it's a sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths and Identity Crisis so it will be bringing up stuff from those stories.

In between Batman and Son and Under the Hood is the "One Year Later" story Face the Face.

Ah, so Infinite Crisis was happening at the same time. So right after that would have been some of the latter issues of that story. And then there is a 1 year time jump.

Is it worth reading the Infinite Crisis stuff if I haven't read anything but Batman yet?

Next on my list is the Birth of the Demon collected edition and then Batman & Son, do you have anything you would put between Red Hood and those two?
