Gotham Knights' Red Hood Has Superpowers, And It's A Bit Weird
A recent Gotham Knights gameplay video showed off Red Hood's mystical traversal ability, and the superpower doesn't quite fit into Batman's world. The upcoming open-world adventure sees Batman's closest allies unite to defend Gotham City following the untimely death of the Dark Knight. In Gotham Knights players will take control of Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin and Red Hood, and each of these iconic characters will possess their own unique combat abilities and traversal style. However, Gotham Knights' resurrected Red Hoodwill possess very different abilities when compared to his typical incarnations.
The brutal vigilante known as Red Hood was once Jason Todd, a street orphan caught by Batman while attempting to steal the Batmobile's tires. Batman decided to train Jason as the second Robin — following Dick Grayson's transformation into an original hero named Nightwing — to form a new incarnation of the Dynamic Duo. However, after a brief stint as the Boy Wonder, Jason was brutally tortured and killed by the Joker during an infamous storyline called Death in the Family. Death was not the end for Jason Todd, however, as he was eventually brought back to life by the universe-altering events of the Infinite Crisis storyline. After his resurrection, Jason became a lethal vigilante named Red Hood, named after the Joker's supposed first criminal identity, which is a title he holds to this day.
