As much as I hated the idea of Arkham Knight being Red Hood, I will still give Rock Steady credit for getting him right because I KNEW it was him rather early on and I was concerned after 'the reveal', he'd be laughable. He felt so wrong in previews while everyone else seemed 'ok'.Yeah, my sole reason for playing this game was to play as the Red Hood and they fucking humanized him. This dude was mentally and physically tortured by the Joker and left for dead by his mentor. That fucks you up pretty much for life, if you aren’t already fucked in the head like Batman.
And then, to top things off, in this game he is revived with the Lazarus Pitt. That alone makes virtually anyone crazy. It’s not noticeable at first, but eventually insanity creeps through the door. And it’s worse if you continually use the pit.
He should be so standoffish to the other characters that he’s almost one disagreement away from turning on them. Maybe Red Hood wasn’t a good idea for a fourth character. This game reeks of mediocrity, social political ideology and CW nonsense.
I thought Red Hood was revived with the Lazarus Pitt in the comics? As a fucking TEEN he got wrecked by Joker with a crow bar and blown up. You pretty much have to use the Lazarus Pit. I know Arkham Knight explained Red Hood survived due to his armor and Joker not checking (or lying even...) after shooting Hood, so no pit needed. Red Hood being not so hostile to Harley is even weirder...people say he feels for her and I can see that in the performance but WHY?
Man I hope this helps people realize Arkham Knight was a pretty good game now and appreciate it better...it's baffling how this doesn't compare even graphically.
