Considering the Joker is the one narrating this segment, it is open to debate whether he is telling the truth or not. Though only lightly touched on, his resurrection is also simplified: he is resurrected with a Lazarus Pit by Talia al Ghul as Infinite Crisis did not occur in this timeline. Following the events of the " Flashpoint " storyline, the DC universe was relaunched, with Red Hood becoming the leader of the Outlaws in their series, part of the New 52 line of comics.

Following the events of Death of the FamilyBruce and Alfred care for a sick Jason in the Manor, culminating in a warm embrace between Jason and his father figure as he regains consciousness, suggesting that their animosity might finally be put to rest.

During his time as Robin, Jason did not possess any inherent super-powers and instead relied on his natural abilities, skills, and technology, similar to his mentor Bruce Wayne.

During his time as Robin, Jason was initially considered a first-class athlete and a capable hand-to-hand combatant, although his detective and reasoning skills were considered to be relatively weak. After the character's resurrection, Jason's skills became more advanced and received more training details depending on continuity ; in modern stories, his training has included the mystical All-Caste order and the League of Assassins, having learned under premier instructors in the latter such as Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva.

However, his dagger remains his preferred weapon of choice for hand-to-hand batman arkham knight wiki jason todd it can cut through Batman's armor and arsenal. Having been trained in the use of Batman's batarangs in perfect aim, he has some lethally sharpened shurikens similar to his dagger that based on his former mentor's designs as throwing weapons.

His weapons of choice are a pair of customized IWI Jericho sfitted with extra Picatinny rails and mini red-dot sights. After training with the All-Caste, Jason received the All-Blades which are capable of slaying magical foes but are harmless against mundane enemies. The blades magically appear in Jason's hands when needed. So he'd be this kid, who wanted to be Batman's sidekick.

He sneaks into the Batcaveand the first thing he sees as he boots up the bat-computers is Batman murdered. And so he uses Bruce's stuff, training himself to take over for him. I think there was even talk of his possibly being Deathstroke 's Robin. Contents move to sidebar hide. Article Talk. Read Edit View history. Tools Tools. Download as PDF Printable version.

Archived from the original on Retrieved ISBNp. Retrieved 28 May Kevin VanOrd, writing for GameSpotawarded the game a 7 out of 10, praising the game's "terrific" amount of variety, its improvement of past games' elements, the cleverness of the game's puzzles, and the "Dual Play" mechanics. VanOrd reacted positively to the segments involving the Batmobile's Battle Mode, calling it a "delight", and called the vehicle's driving "slick and satisfying".

However, VanOrd found fault with some of the game's logic, particularly the clash between Batman's no-kill rule and the Batmobile's significant propensity for destruction. He also noted how the story's thematic elements and repeated metaphors became exhaustingly redundant, mentioning its "ham-fisted storytelling" and describing the batman arkham knight wiki jason todd overall as "only as good as the world allows it to be.

However, Roberts did reserve some criticisms, calling some of the Batmobile's additions a "misfire" and deemed it a "mixed affair"; the campaign was described as full of "generally wonky storytelling, sometimes hammy dialogue and unconvincing duo of primary villains. The Riddler's Batmobile racetracks were considered "beyond silly," though he still commended the character for his increased involvement in the story.

The reveal of the Arkham Knight's identity in Batman: Arkham Knight was met with a mixed reception from critics. Stapleton and Sam Roberts from GamesRadar both took issue with Rocksteady's marketing of the Arkham Knight as an original character, as the character behind the moniker is not. Stapleton felt the problem was that the marketing for the character indicated it was a "big mystery" to his identity, but any "moderately knowledgeable Batman fan could reasonably" deduce the identity: "We all already knew who the Arkham Knight was; we were just hoping it wasn't true because we wanted the original story we'd been promised.

Carter was critical of the Harley Quinn and Red Hood story packs, both originally pre-order bonuses before being released as purchasable DLC. Carter called both "painfully" and "disgustingly" short, respectively, with the Harley pack lasting around 30 minutes, and the Red Hood around 10 minutes. He added that he expected more from the downloadable content, hoping additional "Arkham Stories" would feature more content.

A prominent concern, however, was the short length of the campaign and lack of replay value aside from the rather simple collectables found around the map. He added, "worse, there's no new AR challenge map where you can play as Batgirl, which means her great-looking character model is trapped in this single piece of story content. Considering Arkham Knight is fairly stingy in the challenge map department, that's another big missed opportunity.

Aoife Wilson of Eurogamer was critical of Batgirl's characterization, calling it a "bland, no-frills reading of the character, to be frank, which focuses on her familial connections rather than her youthful exuberance. She offered words similar to Stapleton's on how the lack of additional challenge maps confines the Batgirl character model to only the DLC.

Wilson was skeptical as to whether the future season pass DLC would be worth purchasing unless there was an increase in production value and a real introduction to new gadgets and gameplay variety. In contrast to Stapleton, Carter felt that not many of the environments were particularly memorable, and also felt the length was sufficient compared to the game's previous story packs.

Carter pointed out that a benefit to the game would be a free-roaming option involving the downloadable characters. He also criticized Warner Bros. Carter awarded the "Season of Infamy" content a 7. He felt that the Mad Hatter mission was "the weakest link in the chain," calling it "a neat concept but it's so fleeting that I barely had time to digest it.

Additionally, he added that the Batmobile sequence had "more of a reason to exist than most of the ones in the campaign. He also added the setting of Elliot General Hospital was a good way to highlight Hush's family legacy since his "part in [the main game] was extremely disappointing". The Windows version of the game had a more mixed reception, with criticism aimed mostly at the technical issues present at the time of the game's release, [ ] [ ] [ ] ultimately leading to sales being suspended.

Even high-end graphics cards at the time such as Nvidia 's GeForce GTX were unable to handle the game well, with users reporting frequent frame rate dips and stutters. On June 24,Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that it would suspend sales of the Windows version of Arkham Knight to work on addressing the performance issues to satisfy the company's quality standards.

They also offered refunds for anyone who already purchased the game. Rocksteady noted that they were continuing to focus on the frame rate problem, the low-resolution textures, and overall performance problems, among other issues needing fixes. On August 21,Warner Bros. Lesser priorities intended to be covered include the photo mode and downloadable content.

Likewise, the Nintendo Switch version of the game, ported by Turn Me Up Games, was criticised for its downgraded visuals and poor technical performance. Issues reported include various gameplay glitches that rendered the game impossible to complete, a frame-rate that consistently falls below 30 frames per second, and severe, persistent stuttering occurring whilst Batman traverses the game world, most notable when driving the Batmobile at high speeds.

Oliver Mackenzie of Digital Foundry called the game "legitimately quite challenging to play" and "painful", when reviewing the conversion, citing asset and game world streaming issues and describing Batman appearing to "momentarily jerk back", "every so often as the frame-rates drop", akin to a rubber-banding effect found in various older multiplayer titles.

A patch for the game to address performance issues and bugs that prevented game completion was released in Februarybut the game remained unable to be fully beaten as the Riddler ending cutscene still triggers a software crash. Batman: Arkham Knight was the highest-selling game for June and became the fastest-selling game ofbeating the record previously held by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
