Jason Todd: Robin, Red Hood, Arkham Knight Appreciation 2020

[Arsenal]

I’m kinda surprised they are bringing Red Hood in so soon, I figured they’d wait at-least a season or 2 before doing that.

Unique Character Abilities and Customization – Each hero has unique abilities, gear, weapons and a customizable suit. Batgirl wields her melee tonfa; Nightwing uses his signature dual Escrima Sticks; Red Hood has trained to reach peak human strength; and Robin is expertly skilled with his collapsible quarter staff.

So Jason is the brute of the squad?

He is the Wolverine of the group most likely.

The rumor about a Red Hood DLC for the Suicide Squad game wasn't confirmed (and feels unrealistic).
The game takes place in the same universe as the Arkham games though. (So maybe we'll get some Easter Eggs in the Suicide Squad game?)
The playable characters, by the way, are Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark who have to kill the Justice League.

We don't really now yet

So far, Tim seems to be stealth/tech and acrobatics, and Babs seems to be non-stealth with weapons/tech. Dick could be melee and acrobatics with stealth, and Jason non-stealth weapons specialist and tech. I mean, they seem to have different things going for each of them, not just one set of skills depending on the character. It makes sense, if they want to give the game some sense of RPG-like growth of the characters. Honestly, I'm waiting for a gameplay video for Dick and Jason to make a more focused picture of the mechanics behind.

Edit: I've just read the info that Dark posted in the other thread. I guess that yes, Jason is the most physical oriented of them. A pity, honestly. I was hopping for a weapons specialist, something a bit more subtle and fun to play.

That, and I want to see a cutscene or two of the characters interacting. It does look very good, but I still want character interaction.

It did occur to me that they might not be banking on having the season or two to wait. Well, at least that they might not be betting on just having two or three more seasons to do what they would like to.

I'm betting each of the four characters will represent a kind of base class, but that you can branch out towards the other paths with tech or ability upgrades. My speculation (and it IS PURELY SPECULATION ON MY PART): Batgirl is the balanced 'jack of all trades' (being the Bat representative). Nightwing is speed and agility. He might not hit as hard, but he will be more fluid and focused on mobility. Tim looks to be the stealth and tech character, he'll deal the least damage with his physical attacks but will have all the best toys and sneak attacks. And Jason is the heavy or tank, all about brute force and direct, in your face combat.

Potential spoilers for Three Jokers are out there, so if you don't want to risk being spoiled, tread carefully.

If you look how tall and bulky he is in comparison to the others that seems likely.

[Immortal Hulk]

Jason always been my favorite. So, no doubt he's gonna b my main character!

[Rise]

I have no problem with Currun. He had done a great job as Jason and was one of the few highlights of the show.

The problem is the show iself and its writing. I have no interest in season 3, but we will see.

He is an absolute unit. I'll say it does play into when artists like making him larger than Dick. Considering he is the most ruthless of all of them when pushed, sometimes even more than Damian (though he certainly talks less), making him the most physically imposing makes a degree of sense. I kind of like that while Damian fronts the most about how dangerous he is, you're always side-eyeing Jason in the corner. If he must be the Bat family's bad boy, making him their brute certainly fits.
