I think a lot of people like it for the differences between Slades relationship with Dick Grayson,because Jason is morally looser than Dick,he can team up with slade for any reason,and his killer skills would impress a soldier like Slade,so long as it doesnt stop slade from doing a job
People pointing out how Deathstroke would be very unlikely to take a contract with the Joker, however I like to believe it was a ruse. Deathstroke finding out one of Batman's Robins was alive, that Joker has been crushing the boy's will into dust? Deathstroke saw an opportunity there. Notice how Deathstroke for all the ways he could have landed a shot on Jason only elected to give Jason the most superficial of wounds before explaining the contract, he was giving the boy the chance to work for him. He always planned on double-crossing the Joker, and setting up Jason was an audition.
Glad I watched this, because I had no idea Jason was still in Arkham Asylum during the events of the game. It makes no sense to me how Batman didn’t find him somehow, but now I see why Jason was so mad about Tim being Robin. It had only been about a year
@@billyboleson2830 you should have watch the link that I put lad. Jason was already in the Arkham Asylum... a fucking game that has being developed since 2008.
@@eetfuk3571 It's not an intentional reference, no. I highly doubt that Rocksteady had planned out the story for the third game by that point, and if they had I'm sure there would have been more clues. In my opinion the whole plot twist in Arkham Knight is executed poorly and there's nothing in the first two games to retroactively justify it.
The Joker is one of the few people that Deathstroke would never accept a contract from under any circumstances. He does have morals to an extent. He also doesn't accept contracts that aren't meaningful and stimulating to him and/or those that don't push his limits. So a completely and utterly out of character setup to their partnership if nothing else, demonstrating grave misunderstandings of both Jason and Slade. I like the idea of Jason getting away on his own and building up the militia himself, he VERY much could do that especially arkhamverse Jason. I'm also a fan of the idea that deathstroke was brought in as a contingency plan during the events of the game in real time when it seems like Jason and Scarecrow were in real danger of being defeated, which dovetails perfectly with the idea that Jason put the militia together himself.
Plus the fact that while Deathstoke knows he himself is a ruthless and dangerous killer he’s knows that the joker is a true sadistic and psychotic monster
Oh, i suspect Joker made an initial down payment...enough to get him to show up. Slade isn't an idiot. but when Jason presented a counterargument, logic took over. Anyone OTHER than the Joker, it might be considered unprofessional. Side note: i love how this is EVIL Harley, not the "manic pixie hero wannabe" that has become so popular to the point it was practicly a running gag in Injustice.
It really shows you that its a different continuity while Reading the comic if Deathstroke And Red Hood are working together, since in the Main continuity both of them hate each other very much And they fought between each other a Lot of times 😂.
It’s weird. In every main universe comic, they hate each other and fight (though they do have some respect for each other), but in all other “elseworlds” they get along pretty good (like DCeased, the DCAU comics, etc.)

Cause remember Jason was brainwashed to think that Batman was the true enemy. He only cared about eventually killing Batman. Plus he probably knew that Joker was dying already.
@@holymoly-ii6of Agreed! Finally someone gets it. Yeah I have a lot of respect for the character too. But like you say he doesn't fit in the vanilla Gotham continuity. He would be the perfect character to do a one-off story with. Like DC zombies or, _x_ Kills the DC universe.
I Feel like the dynamic between Slade And Jason is the best, Not only their ruthless but they also have strong determination and that's what I like in a character, just to have all that confidence to destroy Batman is insane.
Yeah, Rocksteady's writers absolutely dropped the ball with that game. The whole studio did, but what the writers did was on another level, absolute disrespect to this universe's characters.
that comic was the only reason i liked jason in Arkham Knight. I get why many fans were kinda not ok with it when they didnt read the comic cause they assumed it was the same backstory as in the regular comics.
Bleh... Don't think I'll read this one. I feel like the idea that Jason would need to be systematically brainwashed by the Joker in order to end up hating Batman does a serious disservice to what he went through. I think just being tortured for more than a year, going through every day hoping that Batman will come save him, only to have him NOT show up, day after day, week after week, month after month... That would be enough for him to reject Batman. The pain of being left alone to suffer would be enough, even without the Joker's influence. Plus, I don't like seeing Harley cheerfully torturing someone. I like my Harley to be bad, but not too bad.
@@IronLordEXO I heard she tried to blow up a group of children in one, and made a boyfriend wear the Joker's face while they made out in another. Eugh. 🤢 Poison Ivy sometimes suffers shock value revamps, too. Like when she's an actual voraphile picking up randos from clubs just to feed them to her plants. 😫👎 I guess it's a good thing you can just kind of pick and choose whichever version makes the most sense to you, since there are so many writers. Like, I liked how in The Dark Prince Charming she has an agreement with the Joker that they don't hurt kids or little old grannies.
One thing I hate about Batman is how he always tries to make out that Harley's just "another one of Joker's victims" when she's doing shit like this. Nah, fuck that
@@thehumblepotatoreborn9313 In both cases the writers are attributing too much to Joker's power and not enough to the person's own feelings and motivations. Harley is based on women who fall in love with serial killers. People who have a bizarre positive draw to serial killers are like that in part because they associate power with violence. It's safe to say when Harley does crimes with Joker, it's not just to please him, but because she, too, gets a thrill out of wielding that kind of power over people, and sees the Joker as an integral means to accessing it.
It won't be as good with scarecrow, you can't just throw hush cause he just a normal guy for deathstroke and jason , and without scarecrow the plot of joker will be so small and he won't be a theart , What i wanted was the court of owls as the main enemy cause it will be logical more and the ending will be the same they will unmaske him than while they brainwashing him joker will break free then stopped at the last second and let's don't forget nightwing will get kidnapped same as oracle, hell that's better
Title: Deathstroke helps Jason Todd escape Jokers’ year-long torture Recap: Jason Todd makes his own escape effort, Deathstroke shoots Jason Todd in the shoulder but opts to work for Todd realizing that a soon-to-be dead Joker can’t pay him any money; Jason Todd and Deathstroke leave without so much as a goon encounter mentioned in recap I guess they used Deathstroke’s chopper to facilitate the final leg of their leaving Arkham… but yeah
"oh no, joker has tortured me for a year, I'll cope by blaming Batman who didn't know I was still alive." Yeah, being pointlessly edgy is totally cool.

I remember someone theorizing that the militia general was originally meant to be Deathstroke. With that in mind It does make a lot of sense why Deathstroke appears once you get rid of the drones
This comic makes the story for Arkham Knight better, however it also kinda takes a sledgehammer to the continuity of all the previous games. And also botches everyone's character, aide from giving Jason some subsistence outside of edgy. More edge.
It does add more context to the game even if it isn't 100% canon. For example, it explains how Jason allied with Deathstroke, when he escaped Arkham Asylum, etc.
@@joaquincasascortes624 It also shows Jason killing Bane which doesn't line up with the games where it is explained that Bane goes back to reclaim Santa Prisca.

@@thefollower2933 it actually does. I just read the comics a week ago, it was implied there that Joker's thugs are being sent to Jason by The Joker to "play with him".
Everyone wondering why jason was in arkham knight, it’s pretty obvious. Jason’s armor protected him from the gunshot. Then joker continued to torture him for a year until arkham asylum. Then during the titan joker vs batman boss fight jason tried to escape. Then deathstroke shot him in the shoulder explaining that joker paid him to kill Jason, and jason told him joker was going to be taken out and slade wouldn’t be paid and told him that he’d triple the amount to help him escape. So basically no joker did not let jason escape and he didn’t die and get revived by the lazarus pit. Deathstroke helped him escape and worked for jason then on, that’s why he took over for jason after the arkham knight disappeared

To bad Slade doesn't get his own show.....I mean the dude kicked teen titans ass.....fight with Bats,turn an entire city against Arow.....fight against Aim......and when he got something it was just that movie.......
Deathstroke is definitely an underutilized and underappreciated character outside of the comics. He should be as big a name as the Joker imo. It's been shown time and time again how perfect of a foil he is to Bruce, he'd make a fantastic live action Batman villain.
you mean to tell me that joker had a room with jason and torture equipment in it and all that noise, harley and joker getting in and out and thugs dressed as batman going in and out so many times in ARKHAM ASYLUM for over a year (more than 365 days) and not even ONCE batman suspected something ODD..... Guess he is really a BATMAN (BLIND AS BAT) also harley being harley and not giving away joker secret. IRL, women can not hold a secret for more than a week MAX>

Well, do you know? You stick it right in front of him, right under his long, pointy nose... and wait!"
There are places Batman is not allowed to enter in the asylum. Jason was being kept in an abandoned wing. Meaning there’s no blueprints or schematics for it.

So Jason could have killed him if he wanted to but Joker messed with his mind so much that he hated Batman more than Joker.
Cause remember Jason was brainwashed to think that Batman was the true enemy. He only cared about eventually killing Batman. Plus he probably knew that Joker was dying already.
@@holymoly-ii6of Agreed! Finally someone gets it. Yeah I have a lot of respect for the character too. But like you say he doesn't fit in the vanilla Gotham continuity. He would be the perfect character to do a one-off story with. Like DC zombies or, _x_ Kills the DC universe.
A horribly disturbing fact that no one probably wants to hear or think about.
gruesome
I didn't know Jason escaped during the last fight in Arkham asylum I thought he was dead
In world where everything is made up, anything can happen for no reason at all.
how could you think he was dead when he's alive later
@@greenarrow3756Lazarus pit
@@Mawhinz
People have this misconception that he died.
Arkham Jason never died, there was no body and he never when ti the pitt
I Feel like the dynamic between Slade And Jason is the best, Not only their ruthless but they also have strong determination and that's what I like in a character, just to have all that confidence to destroy Batman is insane.
0:28 Mind you, this is also the Harley that killed Batman in KTJL
Yeah, Rocksteady's writers absolutely dropped the ball with that game.
The whole studio did, but what the writers did was on another level, absolute disrespect to this universe's characters.
that comic was the only reason i liked jason in Arkham Knight. I get why many fans were kinda not ok with it when they didnt read the comic cause they assumed it was the same backstory as in the regular comics.
Guess that explains what Deathstroke had been up to after Arkham Origins
I wish we could get Arkham live action movies one day. The trilogy would be sick
Arkham Knight looks so sick!!
& so does Arkham Deathstroke 🔥🔥
"You're Robin, Jason. You're not what he made you!"
Man l really loved Batman arkham knight game.
Bleh... Don't think I'll read this one.
I feel like the idea that Jason would need to be systematically brainwashed by the Joker in order to end up hating Batman does a serious disservice to what he went through. I think just being tortured for more than a year, going through every day hoping that Batman will come save him, only to have him NOT show up, day after day, week after week, month after month... That would be enough for him to reject Batman. The pain of being left alone to suffer would be enough, even without the Joker's influence.
Plus, I don't like seeing Harley cheerfully torturing someone. I like my Harley to be bad, but not too bad.
This is tame compared to what Harley has done in other comics though 💀
@@IronLordEXO I heard she tried to blow up a group of children in one, and made a boyfriend wear the Joker's face while they made out in another. Eugh. 🤢
Poison Ivy sometimes suffers shock value revamps, too. Like when she's an actual voraphile picking up randos from clubs just to feed them to her plants. 😫👎
I guess it's a good thing you can just kind of pick and choose whichever version makes the most sense to you, since there are so many writers. Like, I liked how in The Dark Prince Charming she has an agreement with the Joker that they don't hurt kids or little old grannies.
One thing I hate about Batman is how he always tries to make out that Harley's just "another one of Joker's victims" when she's doing shit like this. Nah, fuck that
@@thehumblepotatoreborn9313 In both cases the writers are attributing too much to Joker's power and not enough to the person's own feelings and motivations.
Harley is based on women who fall in love with serial killers. People who have a bizarre positive draw to serial killers are like that in part because they associate power with violence. It's safe to say when Harley does crimes with Joker, it's not just to please him, but because she, too, gets a thrill out of wielding that kind of power over people, and sees the Joker as an integral means to accessing it.
@@ashleyshanks6821 Absolutely.
Kinda wished the plot of Arkham Knight was Jason, Hush, and Deathstroke being a triumvirate to take on Batman.
It won't be as good with scarecrow, you can't just throw hush cause he just a normal guy for deathstroke and jason , and without scarecrow the plot of joker will be so small and he won't be a theart , What i wanted was the court of owls as the main enemy cause it will be logical more and the ending will be the same they will unmaske him than while they brainwashing him joker will break free then stopped at the last second and let's don't forget nightwing will get kidnapped same as oracle, hell that's better
Joker is Satan, Jason was in hell
ya know even knowing that he was beaten like that and people still love joker n harley
I was looking for this comic, thanks!
Title: Deathstroke helps Jason Todd escape Jokers’ year-long torture
Recap: Jason Todd makes his own escape effort, Deathstroke shoots Jason Todd in the shoulder but opts to work for Todd realizing that a soon-to-be dead Joker can’t pay him any money; Jason Todd and Deathstroke leave without so much as a goon encounter mentioned in recap
I guess they used Deathstroke’s chopper to facilitate the final leg of their leaving Arkham… but yeah
Stroke is my favorite Man villain
Officer Balls >
this is the same harley quinn who we're expected to root for in KTJL
Stand down, Robin!
I don't care what people say about Arkham Knight, this is the best version of Jason Todd. Period
Nah, he's a whiny little bitch
"oh no, joker has tortured me for a year, I'll cope by blaming Batman who didn't know I was still alive."
Yeah, being pointlessly edgy is totally cool.
man i dont blame him he went through hell and bruce is literally the worlds greatest detective and still couldnt find him. On top of that he literally replaced him
@@ddyuhduhbdugsbyxhudnsugs9840 Being the world's greatest detective doesn't make you clairvoyant. and Todd himself was a replacement for Dick Grayson.
Your mental issues should never be someone else's problem. this guy is so smart and collected that he comes up with a complex masterplan to takeout the freaking batman, but I'm supposed to believe he was simultaneously too unstable to seek professional help? and that with all those smarts he still fell for the Joker's bait? it's just the writers trying too hard to justify him becoming a villain.
@@tremendousyeet3467seek professional help? He was tortured for a YEAR! You can’t fix that with some therapy sessions that will always be a part of him.
amazing video. deserves way more likes
poor jason 😥
Deathstroke and redhood vs batman and knightwing would go hard
But sadly enough, that tank level was a big disappointment, and he didn’t get to have a real fight with a stroke, which is ultimately disappointing
I remember someone theorizing that the militia general was originally meant to be Deathstroke. With that in mind It does make a lot of sense why Deathstroke appears once you get rid of the drones
I'm glad they answered the question of how they got the money for the events of arkham knight
This comic makes the story for Arkham Knight better, however it also kinda takes a sledgehammer to the continuity of all the previous games. And also botches everyone's character, aide from giving Jason some subsistence outside of edgy. More edge.
Comics aren't canon to the arkham games btw.
@Lt Krunchye ?
This is such a messed up backstory of red hood, the art style is sick though
batman would give harley a pardon because he loves psychopath woman.
When does he do that in the Arkham verse?
He throws her around and arrests her
Poor Jason! How could he survive a hole year of torture 😢. It's so heartless
This should be a prequel game
Lego Jason Todd: Run away Because Batman won’t let Him Play video games Arkham Jason Todd:
I love the idea that only deathstroke knew about Jason's Real identity
The Arkham Knight comics, while enjoyable, overall they don't make a lot of narrative sense in the context of the games and aren't really canon.
I couldn't care less if it's canon or not as long as the story is good.
It does add more context to the game even if it isn't 100% canon. For example, it explains how Jason allied with Deathstroke, when he escaped Arkham Asylum, etc.
@@joaquincasascortes624 It also shows Jason killing Bane which doesn't line up with the games where it is explained that Bane goes back to reclaim Santa Prisca.
@@The_Phantasm What events are and aren't canon are up to the interpretation of the reader.
You could also say any events or products outside the trilogy made by Rocksteady aren't canon. I still take with a grain of salt any product outside of the "main" canon mady by Rocksteady (be it games, movies, comics, etc), but these help to expand the Arkham universe even more.
@@joaquincasascortes624 Tbh i dont care whats canon or not since i Just want to experience a good story. But there is a video on yt abt arkham verse canon with the material we got from The arkham verse, really recommend it. Yes ik its not official canon but its a good interpretation of what makes the most sense to be in arkham verse canon. Although some stuff really doesnt make any sense in that canon, but it is a canon that at least has some truths to it.
It’s implied joker did more than just physical and mental abuse to Jason Todd 😔
Sexual?
thats gay
Nah, not even Joker would stoop that low
Nope
@@thefollower2933 it actually does. I just read the comics a week ago, it was implied there that Joker's thugs are being sent to Jason by The Joker to "play with him".
Reminder: They’re trying to make this Harley Quinn have the moral highground over batman because “he hurt them”
How did batman not find jason for over a year its not like they were across the globe they were in arkham asylum
Because plot
@@billyboleson2830 fair 😂
I mean at least it wasn't the Tokyo Ghoul torture. That was much rougher
man that waterboarding ain’t no joke
First time watching your vids great voice for story telling
If the arkham knight was like this in the game and not so fragile mentally....
Dude went through the most messed up stuff imaginable lol I’d expect him to be a tad shaky.
Asylum, City & Knight happen over the course of two years? Wow
And Harley had the gaw to talk shit to brain washed Batman
Deathstroke + red hood = best combo
Everyone wondering why jason was in arkham knight, it’s pretty obvious.
Jason’s armor protected him from the gunshot. Then joker continued to torture him for a year until arkham asylum. Then during the titan joker vs batman boss fight jason tried to escape. Then deathstroke shot him in the shoulder explaining that joker paid him to kill Jason, and jason told him joker was going to be taken out and slade wouldn’t be paid and told him that he’d triple the amount to help him escape. So basically no joker did not let jason escape and he didn’t die and get revived by the lazarus pit. Deathstroke helped him escape and worked for jason then on, that’s why he took over for jason after the arkham knight disappeared
Now i get spoiled that Jason Todd is the Arkham Knight..... i thought it was batman ..... thanks a lot
What backround music sis you use?
No way is tim Drake a whole grown ass man during this time.
or he's just a big boy even though he was still young. gifted genetics I should say.
@@eetfuk3571bs. These comics are not canon. Its that simple.
I wish the game would’ve expanded on this just a little bit somehow
Love you’re videos and first🦇🐐
I wish Nightwing was the one to arrive at Jason instead of Deathstroke, he always has been better at handeling other people's emotions than Batman
Holy shit this is knight !
If this was Knights and Dragons Deathstroke, he would’ve freed Jason and killed the Joker for free.
in Deceased him and slade have good momments
Alot of channels don't state which comic plus for u and thumbs up
I didnt even know that there were comics from the arkham-verse
Jason would have lost all his gains after a year
I’m glad someone finally pointed this out. He been sitting in a chair for a year how is he muscular? He hasn’t fought in a year or trained or even ate properly.
Comic book logic. Heroes can’t lose there appearance even if it makes no sense
The worst thing about batman is that he never loses
Except all those times he lost to Ra’s, Hush, Bane, and others 😂
@@MILDMONSTER1234 he always wins at last like in tdkr he lost to bane he went to that prison HE LITERALLY didn't train and came back to beat bane like how?
@@Shelby-bo5ym>Makes a broad general claim
>Someone retorts with instances where it is not true
>”Okay but in the end, he wins because he is batman!”
Media literacy is dead, and your comment proves it.
@@twenty-fifth420 he seriously wins because of plot armor it's annoying man
The joker never had money to give him, it was a scam
Nobody is talking about the massive continuity error that is Tim Drake's Robin because why is he wearing his Arkham Knight suit in the comic when it takes place during Arkham Asylum?? he should be wearing his Arkham City suit instead this is a detail that's bothered me for years
To bad Slade doesn't get his own show.....I mean the dude kicked teen titans ass.....fight with Bats,turn an entire city against Arow.....fight against Aim......and when he got something it was just that movie.......
Deathstroke is definitely an underutilized and underappreciated character outside of the comics. He should be as big a name as the Joker imo. It's been shown time and time again how perfect of a foil he is to Bruce, he'd make a fantastic live action Batman villain.
you mean to tell me that joker had a room with jason and torture equipment in it and all that noise, harley and joker getting in and out and thugs dressed as batman going in and out so many times in ARKHAM ASYLUM for over a year (more than 365 days) and not even ONCE batman suspected something ODD.....
Guess he is really a BATMAN (BLIND AS BAT)
also harley being harley and not giving away joker secret. IRL, women can not hold a secret for more than a week MAX>
Robin is in the wrong costume,that’s disappointing
I didn't know Deathstroke was in Arkham Asylum either
He shows up in arkham origins and arkham knight
Slade saw professor pyg a t 1:44 ???
I'Ll Give Five Stars to Your Channel! 😮🤝🤩
😵DamM, GooD Luck 4 Ur Future maN Keep IT Up Maa friend!!! 😮❤😀👍
Let's be fr if batman didn't have plot armor or if it wasn't his story he would have actually died
Is there more to the comic
this whole premise is stupid because Batman never betrayed Jason, it was Joker all along, so is Jason stupid to not understand this? lmao
Something soemthing brainwashing it’s still dumb
Joker kept him for a year ? Away from Batman ? Away from Superman’s X ray vision ? Away from the flash who can search all of Gotham in less than 7 mins ?
Batman didn't even think to ask them for help? IS HE STUPID?
Was it one year or two years he was torturing for
In all honesty I wouldn’t hesitate to kill the joker if that was my adoptive son. I hate Batman low key
So is it canon
Guys, Batman saw Joker kill Jason, obviously that's why he didn't find him 'cause he wasn't looking for him anymore
Yeah but he would still look for a body. So much about Jason in knight doesn't work because he doesn't actually die and jokers already dead
Arkham knight doesnt ever reference this comic or its events
Because it’s damage control
@@billyboleson2830 it's canon n non canon at the same time, like captain boomerang dies in the genesis comic and he's alive in the Arkhamverse... Like wtf
Where is the greatest detective?
The plot apparently
Mannn where was Bruce that shit don’t make sense
I would've just had a sniper out on Bruce Wayne during one of his speeches
If he dodged, that's basically announcing to the public that he's Batman. If not, revenge complete😕
🔥 vid what’s the song?
Thanks! It’s the museum OST from Batman Arkham City. My music for these vids are always in the description for future reference!
Slade and Jason , the biggest losers in Gotham .For real , they are an embarassment .
“Your an embarrassment”-Bully Maguire
I mean come on, did Batman not check Arkham asylum, he had a year to search the asylum and never found him, worlds greatest detective everyone
he never knew that jason was in Arkham Asylum.... its still insane that batman didn't notice since he literally has security footage of arkham asylum and would notice something off if one of the guards scheduling isn't right... but it all happened under the wing of Arkham Asylum.. as Joker himself said "So, how do you keep a secret from the world's greatest detective? Well, do you know? You stick it right in front of him, right under his long, pointy nose... and wait!"
He thought jason was dead
There are places Batman is not allowed to enter in the asylum. Jason was being kept in an abandoned wing. Meaning there’s no blueprints or schematics for it.
@@Pres100 he’s the type to want the corpse
