I see, thanks. It's seem interesting enough to give it a shot.

What do you guys think about Red Hood coming to the Titans show?

You actually missed the discussion a few pages back. A lot of people like Curran Walters as Jason, but have reservations about him as Red Hood.

How different can the Knights become? Will my Red Hood be different to someone else's Red Hood?
Patrick Redding: "Between the ability tree for Red Hood (which is very unique), and his gear spec, and the way you can modify and upgrade both his ranged weapons, his melee weapons, and his suit - absolutely. In fact that range [between character builds] remains actually quite robust throughout the entire game.".
How do character skins work? Are they made up of individual pieces of armour, or full outfits?
Fleur Marty: "They're a mix of all that."

Patrick Redding: "So, just to be clear, when we talk about Gear, we're talking about your melee weapon, your ranged weapon, and your suit, which has certain armor characteristics.

And then there's your suit style - that's the sort of 'skinning' of the suit. Because we didn't want it to turn into just a random crazy quilt, what we've done is we've got distinct suit looks. And then within that there's accessory variation that the player can tap into, and that way you get a chance to tweak it and make it exactly the way you like it."

With some neat screenshots of Jason included




I'm starting to get the impression, from the promo materials and interviews, that Jason will have a pivotal role in the game.

That's the impression that I've got from the intro/trailer movie, to be honest. Him and Barbara being the ones with more weigh plot wise. But as I mentioned in other post, I can't believe that Dick wouldn't have a big role, with the Owls being the big bads and all that. I know that the Court is technically a Bruce villain, but we all know that they were intended for Dick and he does have ties to their history. Unless suddently all of them have ties, somehow.

And I'm glad to read that Jason is the weapons specialist after all. That's going to be a fun run to play.

This should be interesting

Red Hood (Series star Curran Walters) — Jason Todd now dons a new identity in his obsession to take down his old team.

Barbara Gordon (to be cast) — Former Batgirl Barbara Gordon is now Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department. Although she has a past relationship with Dick Grayson, she is wary of the Titans now being in Gotham.

Dr. Jonathan Crane (to be cast) — Known to most as the Scarecrow, Crane is a current inmate at Arkham Asylum and offers his services as a profiler and consultant for the Gotham City Police Department.

I knew that Jason would go up against the Titans but I wasn't aware that he will be "obsessed" to take them down. I haven't watched the second season. I only know that the Titans blamed Jason for something he didn't do, then Jason wanted to jump off the rooftop but Dick could prevent it - and later on Jason has some sweet moments with Rose ... and at the end Jason drives away on a bike and no one of the Titans seem to care. Can someone enlighten me what I missed?

So Barbara is an old flame ... I hope this won't turn into another shipping war between Dick/Starfire and Dick/Barbara fans.

Scarecrow's part sounds interesting. He's an inmate but also helps the police. So he's basically Hannibal Lector.

What do you guys think about Red Hood coming to the Titans show?

I'm curious how Curran Walters will interpret the Red Hood persona. He is a great Robin Jason - and personally I would have preferred a Robin spin-off with him. There are so many stories CW could have told: Ma Gunn, Nocturna, Jason investigating his father's "death", Batman: The Cult, his friendship with Eddie Bloomberg/Kid Devil, etc. It feels a little like wasted potential to turn Jason into Red Hood so soon.

In the first episode Jason got in front of tv camera and said "Titans are back, bitches!" This was broadcast, seen by Deathstroke who then came out of retirement to kill the Titans, freeing Dr Light from prison to fight them after 4 months of prep time. before the 4 month timeskip Dick does in fact start a new group of Titans with Gar, Rose and Jason (requested by Bruce). In missions against Dr Light, Dick kept the younger Titans benched, caused Jason to convince Gar to go off alone to find him. Deathstroke and Dr. Light capture Jason, sets a trap to trade him for Rose, Dick tries to save Jason, the trap is sprung and Jason falls off a building but is caught by the Superboy (first appearance of the character), Rose has been leaving messages in the Titans building as a means of psychological warfare, Jason is thought responsible, who also can't get the experience of falling of a building out of his head, Jason gets up on the roof to jump but Dick shows up and tells him how this war started because he ended up involving Jericho in their fight with Deathstroke and ended up getting him killed.

After this story Rose leaves (no one suspects her of being responsible for the messages), Jason goes after her because Rose hit on him in the previous episode, Rose tries to get Jason to take him to Wayne manor. Jason rather opens up to her about his past before Batman. Rose gets second thoughts about using Jason for Deathstrokes revenge, heads back to San francisco to fight Deathstroke, Jason does not want to go with her. Donna dies in the fight against Superboys creators. Jason comes attend the funeral on his motorbike.

spoilers:

In season 2 of Titans, Jason is kidnapped by Deathstroke, and while captive, he's kicked off the side of a tall building while strapped to a chair. If not for the timely arrival of Conner Kent, he would have gone "splat". And boy does he realize it. The moment he's falling keeps playing over and over in his mind (he has PTSD), and when he comes out of his room for something, the others begin blaming him for certain things going wrong or something that really affects them emotionally. Dick does talk him down, but then later on, wanting to get away from everything, and joined by Rose, the two become quite involved. That said, Jason finds out Slade is Rose's father and flips out. Suspecting she's working for Slade to torment him some more. From then on, Jason leaves the Titans. And Bruce being Bruce, can seemingly only focus on one thing (and one thing only) at a time. Meaning no one tries to clear up the misunderstanding for Jason, no one apologizes for the false accusations... The last he's seen is when Donna's body is shipped off to Themyscira. He's on a motorcycle a good distance away from everyone else, and you can see he is (rightfully) pissed off at them.

I'm sorry. I realize now that I kept my explanation too short. I actually know about the stuff in bold too but I only mentioned the things I know about that happened towards the end.
I also remember that Hank and Jason had a tiny character development. Hank didn't like Jason at first but when Jason was captured by Deathstroke, Hank was really mad about it - and later on the whole emotional growth went to complete waste because Hank immediately sided with the other Titans when they accused Jason of ... putting crosses in Raven's room, or? I hope I remember that correctly. Wasn't that the scene when Jason is alone in his room looking out of the window, still being in shock because of the fall and the near-death experience - and then Raven storms in and screams at him? (I also know that Raven suspected Jason because he had made a hurtful comment towards her in an earlier training session.) The Titans accuse him and Jason states that he would rather want to be with Deathstroke than with them and leaves (for the rooftop).

And Jason is a thespian.

Man, the second season was a mess script wise. They better get, well, better.

Donna, Hank and Dawn also find stuff in their room that indicate someone is messing with them. Gar and Jason are the only ones seemingly left out.

Hell yeah. Now I'm stoked.

What's the timescale of the game? Is there a day-night cycle?
Fleur Marty: "It's actually over many nights. So yes, we do kind of have a day night cycle, but the daytime is when you spend your time in the Belfry. The Belfry is super-central to our game because it's your base of operations. You get to go back there, analyze all the clues that you've picked up during your previous night, have a little chat with Alfred, craft your gear, and really prepare yourself for the next night of crime fighting. So yeah, daytime is Belfry, and then at night you're roaming the streets, fighting criminals and unraveling the mystery."

If I’m remembering the end of S2 right, I wouldn’t be surprised if S3’s Blackfire & Red Hood story lines end up being connected.

I think that Jason and Barbara are the ones that they are taking their losses (Gordon for Babs and Bruce for Jason) the hardest and a lot of the game is gonna be then coming to terms with it, plus Babs recovering her confidence now that she is out of the chair.

Dick and Tim are seems to be pretty straigthfoward, they keep "figthing the good figth" like Bruce wanted then to, althougth for different angles, Dick is already an acomplish solo hero that is probably going back to Gothan because he owns it to Bruce, while Tim wants to prove to himself that he can be an equal to the rest of the family.

Oh, I didn't realize that there's a Janus Cosmetics advertising. That's the company of Roman Sionis/Black Mask's family, right?
