@Ax Thizzle What do you mean that's exactly why it's good. Talking about jokers torture, talking about how his father figures just straight up abandoned him for 6 months, that's exactly how he should've been portrayed in the game, he's supposed to sound like he's going to cry any minute now.
I agree troy is talented but the issue is how this version of red hood was written, I think troy could've done a much better job with a better script, he pulled a darker and more aggressive and more dangerous version of hamil's joker and perfectly imitiated Kevin, it mostly falls on the writers and directors shoulders he might've immitiated Jensen too who knows.
@@therulerofthelastcentury871 Definitely gonna have to disagree on the implication of Jensen's one. His voice sounded _way_ too deep, he didn't really sounded like Red Hood
Exactly he saw his son and saw how broken he was in that moment. That he couldn’t hurt the boy he rescued from Crime Alley who tried stealing the wheels off the batmobile. All he wanted was to be a good father for his family and to help each one of them. That’s why he forgave him despite what he did that night.
if you spent a year being tortured by the Joker only to find out you were replaced by someone else instead of being saved you'd probably hate Batman as well

@ッCxrth It kinda wasn't it's because Jason Todd was like a son to batman and as a father you take full responsibillity for the misfortunes of your son.
@ッCxrth in the Arkhamverse it's a totally different story: during the attack on Arkham, Joker took advantage of the confusion and ambushed Jason,who was guarding the place, and captured him, so it's not Jason's fault. It's in the comics that he disobeyed at Batman's order and went searching for Joker
that makes absolutely no correlation with why he said that, truly it could be anyone. because batman has made so many enemies he can’t remember which one he spoiled with vengeance and revenge. so actually, it’s not narrowing it down.
@@jelly442 However, none of his enemies have ever refered to him as old man. Also, most of his villians wouldn't, or shouldn't know his age. The only people who'd know that are people who'd know him as Bruce and Batman. Narrow it down even further to the fact that the Arkham Knight was a young male, and that basically narrows it down to one of the Robins.
This is how they should have made the boss fight Stage 1: 1-on-1 like with Deathstroke in Origins. Stage 2: It's Predator, but he's the only person you're up against, you can't use Detective mode to find him and he's using the same methods you are (hiding in grates, up on gargoyles) so it's like one big game of cat and mouse Stage 3: Arkham Knight reveals who he is and you get this boss fight.
They missed the Red Hoods character / motives. In the comics Jason forgived Bruce for not saving him, but was angry that the joker was still alive. He had hoped that Batman had killed him.
Yeah in the comics, he never hated Batman. He only hated his code. It didn't really give this Jason a good motive to kill Batman. It didn't even make sense why he had to create two personas.
Raiden Yeah but he hated his code. It was "no killing no matter who they are". Even if they are as bad as the Joker. He forgave Batman for not saving him but he didn't forgive him for not killing the Joker after.
Victor Hugo .Ortiz Vargas Who still hates Tim Drake? Bruce or Jason? In the comics, Jason does nurture resentment for both Dick and Tim for a long time. Dick he resents because he felt that Bruce always wanted him be Dick 2.0 and felt that Dick was the favorite (which he IS actually right about). Tim he resents as his replacement.
***** In the comic and in "Under The Red Hood" (movie adaptation), that's the case. But for Arkham Knight, since the Joker is already dead, then the second best thing for Jason is killing the one who abandoned him when he needed him the most.
Batman didn't replace him quickly though, it was all part of Jokers physiological torture of Jason. If anything Bruce didnt take Tim on as Robin until probably years later.
*Batman:* “I have to sneak up on him, take him by surprise...” 2:35: *Proceeds to grapple through a window directly under Jason, loudly smashing through the glass*
Maybe the first phase should've been trying to sneak up on sniper, 2nd phase out stealthing the other using gadgets and weapons to trap the other. 3rd phase being a fist fight.
as everyone else says it was kinda obvious that Jason was the Arkham Knight but it still got me when he confirmed it to Bruce you could just feel the pain and rage in his voice.. I hope they bring Jason into the upcoming DC movies he's a great character with a insane story
We're all thinking it. We all know it. Jason's dual pistols are AWESOME! I mean come on. Pistols that turn into a sniper! And the way they do it looks cool too. lol
You know what I'd like. If instead of that J brand on his face you got to see a massive scar. Jason had scratched off his entire cheek to get rid of that brand
The_Pyromancer you know what, that does make sense, for someone who hated what had happened to him. But in a sick, twisted sense, he kept the brand intact as some reminder of what he felt he needed to do to avenge himself. Both sad, really.
Guys in the arkham knight comic he got rid of the scar then later on he fought joker and joker pinned him on the ground and carved the j on his face again with a sword
"I wish there were a real fight." This IS a real fight. It's a guilt ridden father fighting to get his traumatized and broken son to listen to him and come home. Bruce loves Jason. As much as he loves Richard, Tim, and Damian. They're his kids and he wants them safe.
Nah. The fights in this game were god awful - - they could’ve still had a better Boss Fight and incorporated good dialogue into them like they did with Deathstroke’s boss fight
@@firstlast9846 Though the boss fight wasn't good, it makes sense given that Jason would be aware that he can't fight Batman h2h so he would have to snipe him and rely on numbers.
I just love Kevin Conroy's masterful voice acting here. The gentleness that comes into his voice when he says that it's not too late is touching - such a difference from the usual stern, unforgiving tones of Batman.
I gotta say, I never knew about Batman's sidekicks stories and their relationships before. And when I played this game, I was every bit as shocked as Bruce to see Jason alive under that mask. After that, I've become a huge fan of DC.
Welcome to the dystopia that is DC. We have meetings and discuss topics lol, but when you die you die here, no Marvel, marvelous (no pun intended) resurrections..
You can really tell the amount of hell he went through, especially when he says "You left me in that abandoned wing in Arkham... for over a year... with HIM" That line right their says just how sadistic the Joker is.... And if I'm not mistaken, Jason was being held in Arkham Asylum during the 1st game. Broke my damn heart, cause in this moment Batman knew he was at fault for letting that happen to him...
He was tortured sadistically by Joker for over a whole year, let all the villain like Penguin, Two-face, Killer-Croc and etc. that was in the Asylum to have their turned to tortured him and was forced to eat spoiled food. Sorry but I blame Batman on this one for letting Joker lived. I don't care this time it's his fault for letting Jason went through hell. Also two of those thing I wrote happened in Arkham Knight Genesis.
Bats says he's Robin, he understands and he's not what he made him. Untrue, he WAS Robin, now he's the Arkham Knight turned Red Hood. No going back. If Batman really understood then he must've been tortured by Joker for over a year too both physically and mentally day in and day out barely getting any sleep. I think the last bit of what I said pretty much summarized that he is indeed what Joker made him. In the end Joker won. I don't know if Joker wanted Batman dead after his death but he certainly had fun messing with him and even in death he messed with him one last time, by driving his student away from him.
SilentAssassin927 i sorta guess from the start when the knight said "you havent lost your touch" that it was him..having said that I really did like Rocksteadys take on the red hood story...I was much happier with it being him rather then shoehorning a new character into the role..If it was not Jason how could he have known all the personal stuff about Bruce in the game(oracle .....)
SilentAssassin927 i know what you man but i still give them major credit for the execution it all.I would prefer that rather then having them scarifying story by throwing in someone just to surprise us
Troy did such a perfect job I literally almost cried. So many versions of this story but I think that THIS GAME had the best Jason Todd/joker scene. So powerful. Ugh.
Nope, in this game, it was obivious that Jason was the dark knight, the game was full of clues: the arkham knight knew exactly where to shoot in batman's armor so he could hurt him with a gun -while batman's armor is supposed to be able to withstand a few shoots without too much damage-. He knews all the batman's tactics . Also, as we have seen his tortures scenes with the Joker. Seen him later in the game was the only logical conclusion.
1:14-1:41 I love how the room turns red when Jason prepares to hit down Batman. It not only shows he will become Red Hood in the future but also shows how he is just filled with so much hate after Batman left him to die by the hands of Joker.
4:30 where Batman says they can fix it together makes me tear up everytime. Batman extending the olive branch and deep down Jason knows he's telling the truth/is sincere. Amazing writing
ClassicToonFan64 Considering all the REAL monsters that exist in the DC Universe, let alone the Arkhamverse (Man-Bat and Solomon Grundy, for example), the Mystery Inc. gang would be better off not getting into that business... at least, not without some gadgets and skills like the Bat-Family's. That said, it would be interesting to see how the current-gen consoles could be used to make them. Just look at the detail put into Arkham Knight's character models. We'd be able to get a talking dog that doesn't look as cartoonish as the one from the 2000s live action movie.
Ilyas Adam That would be awesome in fact. And the thing would be cool its Scarecrow with that new apperance would be Jason. It would be more painful to Batman.
llanto209 I think i am the only one who didn't think that, i had a feeling that the Arkham Knight MIGHT be Jason Todd, but he really wasn't my first guess
llanto209 it was changed cause its original idea was a bruce Wayne clone stolen from hugh strange lab in arkham city.....it was leaked well before game was done
He didn’t say anything to Batman. Batman said stuff to him and Jason demanded him to stop talking. If your gonna complain at least get your facts right.
"Focus on what I want to achieve, and it will happen." That's my new driving words for when I go to work out at the gym. Just focus hard enough on lifting those weights, pushing yourself and eating the rights stuff and you will be slim and fit before you know it.
0:10 batman-who are you arkham knight-it doesn't matter who we are what matters is are plan (takes off helmet) You never cared who I was till I put on the mask
I feel bad for Jason in this. He was tortured by joker for almost a year and was never rescued by batman or anyone else which caused him to feel unloved and useless and unworthy and even made him mad that batman wouldn't bother to try save his sidekick
JTG 2102 for me it was because it was obvious that they were gonna make a big reveal on who it was in the end, and it wasn't gonna be someone who we had no idea who it was. Another thing for me is that this wasn't Troy Bakers first time voice acting Jason. In the dlc I could see the similarities between the two helmets and during the movie studios they went too far into Jason's back story.
PJ Silavwe I might not get the best response for this, but this game is what got me into hero’s and villains and stuff and I had no idea who that was or that there were multiple robins, I just thought robin was robin and he’d change his style from time to time
I don't care about how they made this reveal painfully obvious. The real crime here was the shitty boss fight. I was expecting an epic fight between Bruce and Jason, but instead I get Bruce trying to avoid Jason's sniper fire while sneaking up on him, so he could talk him down. I don't even think he hit Jason once. This whole thing was anti climactic and a complete disappointment.
Daniel Cainion I really, really, REALLY wanted a hand-to-hand combat sequence. They could have easily incorporated the dialogue they had in the game into a fight AND used the final shot of Jason prone on the ground looking up at Bruce and Bruce being unable to deliver the final blow. Agh. Would have been so much cooler, especially if it depicted Jason's anger and how he tends to unravel and become more desperate as his blind rage clouds his judgement (and if possible, Bruce's reluctance to seriously hurt him). But no, he goes up and hides. Seriously, would this kid, a guy who makes shitty, impulsive decisions (and gets himself killed BECAUSE of this in the comics) the more emotional he gets take the time to just sit and wait in the corner for the man he loathes to randomly wander into his sights? Idk. I haven't seen the entire walkthrough. Maybe it'd less out of character than I'm thinking if I'd watched the whole thing...
Batman: Jason, please. I'm not the friend who you're looking for, but I'm here for you. It's time for you to come home. Jason: Which home, Bruce?! The batcave? Or the place where you left me to die?
If it was simply just "Oh yeah, Arkham Knight is Jason, just cause" then it'd be shit, but the fact they put a twist on the Death In The Family story is really cool. Plus, I assumed the game would end with Jason, fully insane after the torture, declaring himself as Jokers legacy, and with Harley then killing him over that. Plus I thought there'd be some subplot where, as revenge, scarecrow captured Croc and tortured him while using him as a guinea pig for his toxin and would make him and Batman fight to the death.
Michael Mitchell Honestly, that ending would've been so much better. But have Batman on fear toxin so Croc is just horrifying, and make the battle seem near impossible to win, then end it with Batman becoming stronger and overcoming the fear toxin, taking down Croc, and slowly walking to scarecrow, who keeps attempting to poison Batman with the toxins, only to fail and have batman inject scarecrow with his own toxins.
brightfamia yeah I definitely had batman on fear toxin in mind, I was also thinking of the arkham knight, if he were an original character, joining forces with the court of owls to destroy Batman's presence in Gotham, this being the prophecy Azrael predicted, and the order of St Dumas aligning with batman to help take him down. Two armies fighting for the power of Gotham would be cool.
brightfamia Tbh, I'm thinking just now, why did they make Scarecrow the main antagonist of this game, and not just have the Knight and the Court ravage the city? I mean, scarecrow's cool, but each time his plan is a big fear toxin cloud, we saw that in Batman Begins :L
+Straw Mann he was tortured by the joker for over a year. Knowing the kind of things the Joker is capable of that's got to be one of the worst versions of hell
Troy Baker did such an amazing job as Jason Todd. I can hear the hurt, the betrayal, the anger in his voice. As someone who’s favorite robin is Jason it makes me happy to see him so well portrayed.
Exactly Remember the part where he finds batman's weak point? There he only shot one bullet and left him. Like a menace, but I'd he wanted to. He could just dump mag him and let Bruce to die
nah he tries killing bruce multiple times but in the end batman was able to save him it's sad cause i feel his pain would've been traumatising being stuck with he joker for over a year thinking batman would save him.....
It's so interesting that after all Jason has done when it comes to facing Bruce again you can hear in his voice how close he is to breaking down. In those moments he is just like a pained young boy in front of his father
I absolutely love the cutscene but the boss fight was subpar. Like if they started with the sniper part and then went to a hand to hand combat part, that would be great but nope.
rexkeelicarter i dont know why you wouldve expected a completely new character... i mean, it's not like that's exactly what they said he was... ...wait....
+Iambic Pentameter While I love Under the Red Hood, J.A's voice is a bit too old for Jason Todd. Despite their build and heights, all [former] Robin's are rather young. Nightwing is around 24-25, Jason Todd is 4 years younger than Dick, Tim is about 5-6 years younger than Dick, and Damian is the youngest at 10. Even if Nightwing isn't 25 in the games, Jason is still 4 years younger. Ackles sounds much older than 20-21.Hell, Ackles sounds more around 28-31, which would make Jason Todd just seem older.
Akshar Patel It was obvious from moment The Arkham Knight started speaking that it was going to be Jason. Just by how he addressed Batman I knew it was him. On top of that, they keep flashing back to Jason being tortured by the Joker. It would have been much more shocking had the Knight started out dispassionate in the beginning, but over the course of the game he gets more and more unhinged to where he's ranting psychotically like a deranged maniac when he's revealed to be Jason.
I was not denying that the reveal was predicable because it was. What I am saying is that they did a great job with his character through the flashbacks and the emotion that comes from him after the reveal.
***** Thpugh Nightwing is my favorite, youre right. Dick's motivation to becoming Nightwing was the fact that he hated being Batman's "shadow" and wanted to be recognized as his own hero. Jason's motivation to become Red Hood has a much more deeper meaning to it(him being tortured by Joker for so long lead him to be more of an anti-hero due to his willingness to kill criminals than to restrain them). I hope for RockSteady to develop a game all about Jason Todd and his journey to becoming Red Hood.
Overall, every Batman video game feels like if you're in a movie, but only you have full control into the next action to take place. This game is a masterpiece.
This fight really passed me off, I was hoping to go fist to fist with the arkham knight, not a stealth fight. Other than that the game was really good.
I think it's a cool fight, because it emphasizes that Jason still uses all the tricks Batman taught him. Batman taught Jason everything he knows, but not everything that Bruce knows. It's almost like fighting yourself. There are no too many characters in the DCU who use stealth as efficiently as The Bat Family. Most of the people Batman encounters will want to throw fisticuffs, they are criminals after all. They don't have order or control. They don't all think to try and hit Batman with his own medicine. But Jason knows what it's like, he's been on both sides.
+Joshua Sixx I could end with an epic hand to hand fight after all their tactics fail against each other, providing an intense, yet symbolic and emotional point in the game......
Joshua Sixx I think that's a really cool idea, but to me it's not what plays out in the boss battle. Jason doesn't employ Batman's stealth tactics against him, he just sits on a perch with a sniper rifle and sends a bunch of goons out like every other villain. I'd love to have seen them go along with your idea instead. Maybe AK says "turn around," then there's an interchange and it comes to hand to hand combat. AK uses all of the moves you've learnt over three games against you - stun and beatdown, evade, quick fire gadgets - then he gets a shot off and wounds Batman who lands on the deck. AK is standing over him. "It's over, hero." Batman has something in his hand, behind his back. The first gen disrupter. Jason reveal. On screen prompt: jam gun. Jason tries to shoot, showing that he's for real, gun jams and Batman hits him, cracks helmet, drops smoke pellet to get away. "You can't hide from me. I will hunt you down." The tech hood turns red. Batman is wounded, and you have to use the environment to see off the threat of Jason who hides in the shadows, taunts you, attacks from the vantage points and grates. Eventually, Batman talks him down and wins the day. What you'd have then is a boss battle that takes elements from the Deathstroke and Mr Freeze battles from Origins and City respectively, and something more challenging than simply sneaking up on the guy. Also, with Batman wounded it would make more sense when he doesn't take Scarecrow down immediately on the rooftop before he finds out Barbara is still alive. Then there's the tank battle and the return to the GCPD where Batman has his wound treated and the story continues as usual.
Rocker Cole No, the Harley Quinn one is set before the game. The Red hood DLC is set after the game. He doesn't become red hood until after he stops being Arkham knight. Plus, Black mask was still alive during the story.
Kinda messed up really Batman: Alfred I found Jason Alfred: Todd?..... really..... Batman: yup.......... k bye poor old guy probs has 1000 questions the never got answered because they had to blow up the house second he got home.
I really wished there had been more dialogue between Bruce and Jason in this game. Especially now that Kevin Conroy has passed on, may he Rest In Peace.
Poor Jason. In every single bit of dialogue it sounds like he's trying so hard to avoid bursting into tears.
SpiderLily yeah, it's so heartbreaking...

@@ultrateamxz8121 I think the first part was an advanced heads up display while the second part was an extra layer of protection.
This is how they should have made the boss fight
Stage 1: 1-on-1 like with Deathstroke in Origins.
Stage 2: It's Predator, but he's the only person you're up against, you can't use Detective mode to find him and he's using the same methods you are (hiding in grates, up on gargoyles) so it's like one big game of cat and mouse
Stage 3: Arkham Knight reveals who he is and you get this boss fight.
That would be just perfect man !! To me, they messed up the fight though it has so much potential :(
Flatulent Orc. Nah, last stage should be a long brutal fist fight like Batman has with the Mutants leader in Dark Knight Returns

I think that but in reverse would've been the best way to do it
This looks super underwhelming compared to the Deathstroke fight from Origins.
They missed the Red Hoods character / motives. In the comics Jason forgived Bruce for not saving him, but was angry that the joker was still alive. He had hoped that Batman had killed him.
Yeah in the comics, he never hated Batman. He only hated his code. It didn't really give this Jason a good motive to kill Batman. It didn't even make sense why he had to create two personas.
Deathpool_04 No he hated that Batman had not killed Joker after ehat he had done too him.
Raiden Yeah but he hated his code. It was "no killing no matter who they are". Even if they are as bad as the Joker. He forgave Batman for not saving him but he didn't forgive him for not killing the Joker after.
Deathpool_04 Yes, but he did not want batman to kill like every criminal. Just the Joker.
Raiden Yeah, he only wanted him to kill only when it was necessary to.
Batman never really apologizes for replacing him so quickly, does he?
Caitlin Brewer he still feels hate for tim drake , but he hides it
Victor Hugo .Ortiz Vargas Who still hates Tim Drake? Bruce or Jason? In the comics, Jason does nurture resentment for both Dick and Tim for a long time. Dick he resents because he felt that Bruce always wanted him be Dick 2.0 and felt that Dick was the favorite (which he IS actually right about). Tim he resents as his replacement.
Jason never wanted Bruce to die I am pretty sure he wanted Bruce to avenge him by killing Joker
***** In the comic and in "Under The Red Hood" (movie adaptation), that's the case. But for Arkham Knight, since the Joker is already dead, then the second best thing for Jason is killing the one who abandoned him when he needed him the most.
Batman didn't replace him quickly though, it was all part of Jokers physiological torture of Jason. If anything Bruce didnt take Tim on as Robin until probably years later.
*Batman:* “I have to sneak up on him, take him by surprise...”
2:35: *Proceeds to grapple through a window directly under Jason, loudly smashing through the glass*
Lol.
Yea but that was his blind spot .......for hearing? ....
He didn't hear him
What now you are going to start bitching about game mechanics too ...
Well still fast enough to tackle him if before he can gain aim again
I was hoping a fist fight between Batman and Jason Todd. Kinda like Batman vs Deathstroke. Not against a sniper. I was a little disappointed.
Maybe the first phase should've been trying to sneak up on sniper, 2nd phase out stealthing the other using gadgets and weapons to trap the other. 3rd phase being a fist fight.
That would be cool.
You must watch Under the Red Hood brah
This was the 4th best boss fight in my opinion.
jason knew he couldn't take him in hand to hand combat
Jesus Christ it's Jason Todd
What are we, some kind of Jason Todd?
wait
that doesn't work
Meghana Satish holy fuck really lmao
DAHLicious Wafflez
WWWWOOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!! the todd part fitted so well.
What about:
"OH MY GOD IT'S JASON TODD"
Why do u think Jason is the son of god?
as everyone else says it was kinda obvious that Jason was the Arkham Knight but it still got me when he confirmed it to Bruce you could just feel the pain and rage in his voice.. I hope they bring Jason into the upcoming DC movies he's a great character with a insane story
Jacqueen 17 yes, agreed!!!!
Teen titans the serie 🙃

Spiral TTV ikr
Spiral TTV I knew I couldn't be the only one
Carlos Darío Cisneros i developed them myself
"My God, is he alright?!" "No...No, he's not." You can hear the guilt and shame Batman feels in his voice.
The Kid's Not Alright
You know what I'd like. If instead of that J brand on his face you got to see a massive scar. Jason had scratched off his entire cheek to get rid of that brand
The_Pyromancer you know what, that does make sense, for someone who hated what had happened to him. But in a sick, twisted sense, he kept the brand intact as some reminder of what he felt he needed to do to avenge himself. Both sad, really.
Blush then what do you recommend I do?
Blush joker gave me that scar
Guys in the arkham knight comic he got rid of the scar then later on he fought joker and joker pinned him on the ground and carved the j on his face again with a sword
So true
"I wish there were a real fight." This IS a real fight. It's a guilt ridden father fighting to get his traumatized and broken son to listen to him and come home. Bruce loves Jason. As much as he loves Richard, Tim, and Damian. They're his kids and he wants them safe.
Nah. The fights in this game were god awful - - they could’ve still had a better Boss Fight and incorporated good dialogue into them like they did with Deathstroke’s boss fight
@@firstlast9846 Though the boss fight wasn't good, it makes sense given that Jason would be aware that he can't fight Batman h2h so he would have to snipe him and rely on numbers.
@@littlen8279 yh but he gets knocked off a gargoyle once and repeats it like 3 times till he loses
@@littlen8279 It makes sense but it is so boring. Arkham Asylum had a better fight than this.

No he meant when he takes over batman he will be sent to the asylum

Lol, wtf is up with that Lego floor?
And during the cutscene, they aren’t even on it lol
That's a Lego Batman reference
Wait, what in the hell
No it’s not
Muu Too stfu it’s rad
I gotta say, I never knew about Batman's sidekicks stories and their relationships before. And when I played this game, I was every bit as shocked as Bruce to see Jason alive under that mask. After that, I've become a huge fan of DC.
Welcome to the dystopia that is DC. We have meetings and discuss topics lol, but when you die you die here, no Marvel, marvelous (no pun intended) resurrections..
You can really tell the amount of hell he went through, especially when he says "You left me in that abandoned wing in Arkham... for over a year... with HIM" That line right their says just how sadistic the Joker is.... And if I'm not mistaken, Jason was being held in Arkham Asylum during the 1st game.
Broke my damn heart, cause in this moment Batman knew he was at fault for letting that happen to him...
You also gotta consider the level of sadism Joker is capable of, over a year is a lot of time for a guy like him to do god knows what to Jason.
He was tortured sadistically by Joker for over a whole year, let all the villain like Penguin, Two-face, Killer-Croc and etc. that was in the Asylum to have their turned to tortured him and was forced to eat spoiled food. Sorry but I blame Batman on this one for letting Joker lived. I don't care this time it's his fault for letting Jason went through hell.
Also two of those thing I wrote happened in Arkham Knight Genesis.
He escaped during Joker’s takeover
Bats says he's Robin, he understands and he's not what he made him. Untrue, he WAS Robin, now he's the Arkham Knight turned Red Hood. No going back. If Batman really understood then he must've been tortured by Joker for over a year too both physically and mentally day in and day out barely getting any sleep. I think the last bit of what I said pretty much summarized that he is indeed what Joker made him. In the end Joker won. I don't know if Joker wanted Batman dead after his death but he certainly had fun messing with him and even in death he messed with him one last time, by driving his student away from him.
@@BlossomPathOnStage15not just that it's hinted at in one of the tie in comics he was raped
It was so painfully obvious that it was Jason Todd
SilentAssassin927 The DC RUclips channel guy said it wasn't Jason Todd, he lied.
The very first time he opened his mouth was you could tell who the knight was.
SilentAssassin927 i sorta guess from the start when the knight said "you havent lost your touch" that it was him..having said that I really did like Rocksteadys take on the red hood story...I was much happier with it being him rather then shoehorning a new character into the role..If it was not Jason how could he have known all the personal stuff about Bruce in the game(oracle .....)
I was really hoping it would be someone completely different. Or at least someone you would never expect.
SilentAssassin927 i know what you man but i still give them major credit for the execution it all.I would prefer that rather then having them scarifying story by throwing in someone just to surprise us
I like how Playstation disabled the option to record this scene, expecting us to be surprised with the reveal

PrettyBrown&Nerdy you've obviously never seen batman:under the red hood
ll Noice ll the only problem I have with Under the Red Hood, is that even if you don’t know who he is, it’s so painstakingly obvious that it’s Jason.
So... exactly like this game?
Ripsicle unlike this game?
Nope, in this game, it was obivious that Jason was the dark knight, the game was full of clues: the arkham knight knew exactly where to shoot in batman's armor so he could hurt him with a gun -while batman's armor is supposed to be able to withstand a few shoots without too much damage-. He knews all the batman's tactics . Also, as we have seen his tortures scenes with the Joker. Seen him later in the game was the only logical conclusion.
Jason Todd, my favourite Robin.
Dick Grayson for the win
Dick Grayson: the independent robin
Jason Todd: the anger robin
Tim drake: the detective robin
grimmitachi LOL meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tooooooooooooooooooooooo
Andrew Meyers Damien Wayne: The Murderous Self-Righteous Samurai Robin.
grimmitachi if only he was everyones Robin before turning into Red Hood he wouldn't have been killed off in the first palce
1:14-1:41 I love how the room turns red when Jason prepares to hit down Batman. It not only shows he will become Red Hood in the future but also shows how he is just filled with so much hate after Batman left him to die by the hands of Joker.
I love how his suit loses the blue colors after he brings down the 'hood' as it turns red, as almost a final evolution into Red Hood.

+Montesama314 Scooby Doo Reference FTW... I wonder, how would Arkhamverse versions of Mystery Inc. look and behave?
ClassicToonFan64 Considering all the REAL monsters that exist in the DC Universe, let alone the Arkhamverse (Man-Bat and Solomon Grundy, for example), the Mystery Inc. gang would be better off not getting into that business... at least, not without some gadgets and skills like the Bat-Family's.
That said, it would be interesting to see how the current-gen consoles could be used to make them. Just look at the detail put into Arkham Knight's character models. We'd be able to get a talking dog that doesn't look as cartoonish as the one from the 2000s live action movie.

I feel bad for Jason in this. He was tortured by joker for almost a year and was never rescued by batman or anyone else which caused him to feel unloved and useless and unworthy and even made him mad that batman wouldn't bother to try save his sidekick
Over a year actually
Okay let's face it, we all knew it was Jason.
PJ Wayne Agreed, but then again it was a good game and giving him a new identity and the way they handled his character was nailed perfectly.
BigBroCohen
at first i was quite disappointed...but then i thought about it and it was brilliant!
I didn't. But how did everyone else?
JTG 2102 for me it was because it was obvious that they were gonna make a big reveal on who it was in the end, and it wasn't gonna be someone who we had no idea who it was. Another thing for me is that this wasn't Troy Bakers first time voice acting Jason. In the dlc I could see the similarities between the two helmets and during the movie studios they went too far into Jason's back story.
PJ Silavwe I might not get the best response for this, but this game is what got me into hero’s and villains and stuff and I had no idea who that was or that there were multiple robins, I just thought robin was robin and he’d change his style from time to time
I don't care about how they made this reveal painfully obvious. The real crime here was the shitty boss fight. I was expecting an epic fight between Bruce and Jason, but instead I get Bruce trying to avoid Jason's sniper fire while sneaking up on him, so he could talk him down. I don't even think he hit Jason once. This whole thing was anti climactic and a complete disappointment.
Don't forget how we listened him bitch annoyingly
You'd be bitching too if you were beaten and tortured for over a year in a remote location
Amen brother then he helps batman at the end... Bullshit
Daniel Cainion I really, really, REALLY wanted a hand-to-hand combat sequence. They could have easily incorporated the dialogue they had in the game into a fight AND used the final shot of Jason prone on the ground looking up at Bruce and Bruce being unable to deliver the final blow. Agh. Would have been so much cooler, especially if it depicted Jason's anger and how he tends to unravel and become more desperate as his blind rage clouds his judgement (and if possible, Bruce's reluctance to seriously hurt him). But no, he goes up and hides. Seriously, would this kid, a guy who makes shitty, impulsive decisions (and gets himself killed BECAUSE of this in the comics) the more emotional he gets take the time to just sit and wait in the corner for the man he loathes to randomly wander into his sights? Idk. I haven't seen the entire walkthrough. Maybe it'd less out of character than I'm thinking if I'd watched the whole thing...
Daniel Cainion the boss fights sucked for me. Especially death stroke. Somehow origins got it right
Conroy is so talented. When he meets Jason his voicr becomes all confused and broken. Amazing game right here.

If it was simply just "Oh yeah, Arkham Knight is Jason, just cause" then it'd be shit, but the fact they put a twist on the Death In The Family story is really cool. Plus, I assumed the game would end with Jason, fully insane after the torture, declaring himself as Jokers legacy, and with Harley then killing him over that. Plus I thought there'd be some subplot where, as revenge, scarecrow captured Croc and tortured him while using him as a guinea pig for his toxin and would make him and Batman fight to the death.
Michael Mitchell Honestly, that ending would've been so much better. But have Batman on fear toxin so Croc is just horrifying, and make the battle seem near impossible to win, then end it with Batman becoming stronger and overcoming the fear toxin, taking down Croc, and slowly walking to scarecrow, who keeps attempting to poison Batman with the toxins, only to fail and have batman inject scarecrow with his own toxins.
brightfamia yeah I definitely had batman on fear toxin in mind, I was also thinking of the arkham knight, if he were an original character, joining forces with the court of owls to destroy Batman's presence in Gotham, this being the prophecy Azrael predicted, and the order of St Dumas aligning with batman to help take him down. Two armies fighting for the power of Gotham would be cool.
Michael Mitchell
That would be amazing.
brightfamia Tbh, I'm thinking just now, why did they make Scarecrow the main antagonist of this game, and not just have the Knight and the Court ravage the city? I mean, scarecrow's cool, but each time his plan is a big fear toxin cloud, we saw that in Batman Begins :L
Michael Mitchell maybe the idea of scarecrow capturing Croc could've been a side mission?
This scene hits different after Kevin Conroy’s passing. RIP to the legend.

I feel so sorry for Jason too. Underneath all that anger and hatred, I see a young man who is really hurting and heartbroken in the inside
If you read Arkham Genesis it is even worse and that is cannon to the main game
Troy Baker did such an amazing job as Jason Todd. I can hear the hurt, the betrayal, the anger in his voice. As someone who’s favorite robin is Jason it makes me happy to see him so well portrayed.
If Jason wanted to Kill Bruce, he would of done it already. He had countless opportunities during the story. He still sees Bruce as his father
Exactly
Remember the part where he finds batman's weak point?
There he only shot one bullet and left him. Like a menace, but I'd he wanted to. He could just dump mag him and let Bruce to die
I think he was more trying to get through to bruce than kill him
No, he wanted Bruce dead. He tries to flatten the batmobile with a giant drill machine.
nah he tries killing bruce multiple times

what do you mean always? what a smooth brain thing to say lmao
@LilC1deep it's kinda true, look at rocksteady and suicide squad.
It's so interesting that after all Jason has done when it comes to facing Bruce again you can hear in his voice how close he is to breaking down. In those moments he is just like a pained young boy in front of his father
“There’s no escape”
*Batman: “I need to escape”*
god its sad jason went threw so much hell and now batman feels so much sadness and grief like how he felt when he saw his parent's die
I absolutely love the cutscene but the boss fight was subpar. Like if they started with the sniper part and then went to a hand to hand combat part, that would be great but nope.
Plot twist
I was expecting a completely new character. But Jason will do.
They really did good on his character, really well done.
rexkeelicarter i dont know why you wouldve expected a completely new character... i mean, it's not like that's exactly what they said he was...
...wait....
LoudAngryJerk They said new to the series, Jason is technically a new one since we never seen his face in any other Arkham game as far as i know.
rexkeelicarter lol, they were talking about a new character to the universe.
Nope didn't do well the movie batman the red hood did good
LoudAngryJerk tbf the Arkham Knight is a new character, the person under the mask isn't. technically not a lie while it is
Arkham Knight: "IT'S ME BATMAN! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG BATMAN!"
Gordon: "Aw son of a bitch!"
It would've been interesting if they brought back Jensen Ackles who voiced Jason Todd in the Under The Red Hood movie.
Iambic Pentameter Then I feel it would be a bit too obvious but yeah he was perfect
hiimchrisj It was already too obvious.
Yeah Jensen Ackles' voice was perfect for Jason Todd
+hiimchrisj how about troy bakers distorted voice and then jensen with the mask gone
+Iambic Pentameter While I love Under the Red Hood, J.A's voice is a bit too old for Jason Todd. Despite their build and heights, all [former] Robin's are rather young. Nightwing is around 24-25, Jason Todd is 4 years younger than Dick, Tim is about 5-6 years younger than Dick, and Damian is the youngest at 10. Even if Nightwing isn't 25 in the games, Jason is still 4 years younger.
Ackles sounds much older than 20-21.Hell, Ackles sounds more around 28-31, which would make Jason Todd just seem older.
"Don't you dare lie to me"!
The most obvious plot twist in recent gaming history.
So?
Akshar Patel So it's cliche and wasted potential
No it's not.
Akshar Patel It was obvious from moment The Arkham Knight started speaking that it was going to be Jason. Just by how he addressed Batman I knew it was him. On top of that, they keep flashing back to Jason being tortured by the Joker. It would have been much more shocking had the Knight started out dispassionate in the beginning, but over the course of the game he gets more and more unhinged to where he's ranting psychotically like a deranged maniac when he's revealed to be Jason.
I was not denying that the reveal was predicable because it was. What I am saying is that they did a great job with his character through the flashbacks and the emotion that comes from him after the reveal.
Great voice acting on Jason’s part. You can hear the pain in his voice as he tries to keep it together.
Alright now I can finally say that Jason's my favorite character/Robin. We all gotta love the rebel
apart from all those people who didnt love the rebel and got him killed...
Malcolm Boyd
Touché, but he came back so you still gotta love the rebel XD
Jason Todd is so rebellious, he even refuses to stay dead!
I personally love Dick a lot more but thats just because of Teen Titans and Nightwing though...
***** Thpugh Nightwing is my favorite, youre right. Dick's motivation to becoming Nightwing was the fact that he hated being Batman's "shadow" and wanted to be recognized as his own hero. Jason's motivation to become Red Hood has a much more deeper meaning to it(him being tortured by Joker for so long lead him to be more of an anti-hero due to his willingness to kill criminals than to restrain them). I hope for RockSteady to develop a game all about Jason Todd and his journey to becoming Red Hood.
"Don't pretend to understand!!!"
Man, I've got to give Troy Baker props. He really did a fantastic job!!
His voice cracks were so painful and emotional. I nearly started crying when I was playing.
Overall, every Batman video game feels like if you're in a movie, but only you have full control into the next action to take place. This game is a masterpiece.
This fight really passed me off, I was hoping to go fist to fist with the arkham knight, not a stealth fight. Other than that the game was really good.
I think it's a cool fight, because it emphasizes that Jason still uses all the tricks Batman taught him. Batman taught Jason everything he knows, but not everything that Bruce knows. It's almost like fighting yourself. There are no too many characters in the DCU who use stealth as efficiently as The Bat Family. Most of the people Batman encounters will want to throw fisticuffs, they are criminals after all. They don't have order or control. They don't all think to try and hit Batman with his own medicine. But Jason knows what it's like, he's been on both sides.
I never thought of it like that. Wow this fight became way cooler
+Joshua Sixx I could end with an epic hand to hand fight after all their tactics fail against each other, providing an intense, yet symbolic and emotional point in the game......
Joshua Sixx I think that's a really cool idea, but to me it's not what plays out in the boss battle. Jason doesn't employ Batman's stealth tactics against him, he just sits on a perch with a sniper rifle and sends a bunch of goons out like every other villain. I'd love to have seen them go along with your idea instead.
Maybe AK says "turn around," then there's an interchange and it comes to hand to hand combat. AK uses all of the moves you've learnt over three games against you - stun and beatdown, evade, quick fire gadgets - then he gets a shot off and wounds Batman who lands on the deck.
AK is standing over him. "It's over, hero." Batman has something in his hand, behind his back. The first gen disrupter. Jason reveal. On screen prompt: jam gun. Jason tries to shoot, showing that he's for real, gun jams and Batman hits him, cracks helmet, drops smoke pellet to get away. "You can't hide from me. I will hunt you down." The tech hood turns red.
Batman is wounded, and you have to use the environment to see off the threat of Jason who hides in the shadows, taunts you, attacks from the vantage points and grates. Eventually, Batman talks him down and wins the day.
What you'd have then is a boss battle that takes elements from the Deathstroke and Mr Freeze battles from Origins and City respectively, and something more challenging than simply sneaking up on the guy.
Also, with Batman wounded it would make more sense when he doesn't take Scarecrow down immediately on the rooftop before he finds out Barbara is still alive. Then there's the tank battle and the return to the GCPD where Batman has his wound treated and the story continues as usual.
so u leave someone to rot with joker , u replace him with Tim drake then u beat him up
Technically he's just Red Hood. Arkham Knight is not even a character; just a different look.
Technically it's his 3rd alias. The way Two-Face developed a 3rd persona in "The New Batman Adventures": the Judge.
And also has an army
whoboy11 technically red hood didn't exist until arkham knight was gone.
TheEzio1991 The Red Hood DLC is set before the start of the Game
Rocker Cole No, the Harley Quinn one is set before the game. The Red hood DLC is set after the game. He doesn't become red hood until after he stops being Arkham knight. Plus, Black mask was still alive during the story.
Those hallucinations of Joker never get old, even through my third playthrough they're still hilarious.
4:40 I always liked to believe Jason dissapeared here because he simply could not face Alfred after the things he had done.
Unpopular opinion here, but this is my favorite version of Red Hood in terms of design. I especially love the Arkham Knight design.
"Gameplay recording paused"
*starts recording*
Kinda messed up really
Batman: Alfred I found Jason
Alfred: Todd?..... really.....
Batman: yup.......... k bye
poor old guy probs has 1000 questions the never got answered because they had to blow up the house second he got home.
Why didn't he tell Alfred that Jason was the Arkham Knight?
I really wished there had been more dialogue between Bruce and Jason in this game. Especially now that Kevin Conroy has passed on, may he Rest In Peace.
There was plenty of dialogue and they perfectly fleshed out the character
