Batman: Arkham Knight DLC - 8 Things That Would Save The Season Pass
8. Anything On The Arkham Knight's Whereabouts/Motivations
Maybe it comes from being a huge fan of Batman and his mythos, but I demand a little more from my character reveal than a 'My First Revenge Arc' exchange, a terrible boss battle and a 'saw it coming' allegiance-switch. Following the reveal that the AK was Jason Todd (which you can figure out from the very first thing he says), the game switches focus from tackling him on, to going up against Scarecrow as Joker's viral strain slowly takes over Batman's mind. The Knight simply disappears both times after his confrontation with Batman, only re-emerging after spray-painting a red Bat symbol on his chest to sort of become a quasi-Robin... kinda... if you really want to believe it. Thing is, we barely got to know this guy despite him being all over the promotional materials - even the Red Hood DLC doesn't shine anything close to a light on his motivations other than "He likes to shoot people and trash-talk", meaning when he switches alliances at the end to save Batman, it's more like a "Well of course he did" than anything else. Where is Jason Todd in Gotham now? How did he respond to what Bruce did at the close of the story? Did he care? Did Bruce really care, after the fact? Even a phone call from Wayne discussing what it meant to see Jason alive again and know that he could've saved him from Arkham Asylum in the first place would be awesome.
