Jason Todd, aka Robin???

Said no one ever. Most telegraphed plot twist in video game history.

Worst part is the devs tried to play it up and act like it wasnt going to be him. I prefer the fake leak that said he was a clone of Bruce.

I'm sure some super casual Batman fans were surprised since they probably didn't even know who Jason Todd was.

I Remember the dev's specifically saying he was a new character, and not just some established character in a mask.

I was surprised in the sense that I didn't think they were going to be so obvious about it. I thought it might be a fake out or something. And then it wasn't.

We literally voted for him to die so they made him come back with multiple identities. Die already.

The game made very sure that you knew who he was with flashbacks and extensive motives given for why the guy should hate Batman

People who do not know who Jason Todd is were likely surprised, or those who did not know there was a Robin after Richard Grayson, and before Tim Drake.

It's possible that they thought it was going to be someone else and then it just turned out to be Jason Todd all along.

Like the time the 6;11, 336 pound Big Red Machine Kane was set to do battle against the bizarre one known as Goldust

j6qhlCu

However Goldust shortly shocked the entire world when he took off his entrance robe to expose a flamethrower set fire to Kane's face for the second time in his life

2wcK3xJ

Everyone was stunned and confused until "Goldust" revealed that he was actually the Cerebral Assassin Triple H, Kane's long time arch-rival who had merely disgused himself as Goldust as a ruse to get the drop on Kane and be first man in history to take down the unstoppable juggernaut.

Considering the relationships between Batman and Jason Todd are very similar to the relationship between Kane and Triple H, you can imagine how the developers could have made a similar mistake.

The game made very sure that you knew who he was with flashbacks and extensive motives given for why the guy should hate Batman

The fact that they showed all those scenes probably means that it was never supposed to be an epic twist, and it was clear who it was since they were leading up to it maybe.

I find the game disappointing for so many reasons, that included (but the annoying batmobile most of all, it really WAS just as annoying as everyone said it was) but maybe the fact that they made those scenes was so that you could see it was Jason Todd who had cause to hate Batman.

The best part of that was how the PS4 version prevented the reveal scene from being recorded by the PS4 share option. I'm still not sure if someone at Rocksteady is that dumb or if it was Warner Bros mandating they try to hype up the twist to boost sales.

Nope.

But after the AK reveal you notice his helmet turns red and he pretty much assumes the red hood costume.

I mean FFS there was even Red Hood DLC that was said to take place after the main game. There's no way most of the dev team didn't know how stupid the whole charade was.

I knew it as soon as he said Old man. But then again, I only know who the red hood was because of the animated movie that came out prior.
