10 Most Brutal Things Jason Todd Has Ever Done

4. Was The Arkham Knight - Arkham Knight

The Arkham video game series is the perfect example of how to deliver a superhero game.

While the speculation and online scuttlebutt about a new entry in the Arkham series has yet to be officially confirmed, it remains that Arkham Knight is the most recent outing for the franchise. And key to Arkham Knight, was the mystery surrounding the titular villain.

That mystery would eventually be answered when the Arkham Knight revealed himself as Jason Todd. As gamers would come to learn, Jason's death at the hands of the Joker had all been faked. Instead, the Clown Prince of Crime had held Todd hostage for a year in an attempt to drive him insane. Manipulated by the Joker and then Deathstroke, Jason ended up despising Batman and the larger Bat Family of characters.

Not only did Jason set out to torment and kill the Caped Crusader during the Arkham Knight game, but the added kicker was that he'd previously been aligned with Batman's greatest nemesis.

Jason would slightly redeem himself, however, when he stopped Scarecrow from killing the Dark Knight during the end of this latest instalment in the Arkham franchise.
