Who is the Arkham Knight?

 * No one knows yet. Some people have theorized it's the Joker reborn, some Hush, others a new character altogether. - Nx1701g (talk) 03:57, March 8, 2014 (UTC)

Who wants to bet that it's going to be the Joker hiding inside the suit? Just like in Arkham City and Origins.(125.237.254.247 07:34, April 12, 2014 (UTC))

I think it's more likely it's the Arkhamverse version of Jason Todd. 99.179.78.43 07:53, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Well, one things definietly certain, I seriously doubt that its Hugo Strange. I know in Arkham City, the Riddler mentions that Strange has a bat-suit hidden somewhere in Wonder Tower. But it just doesn't fit. For one thing, their body types don't match at all. Also if what I've heard is true, then the Arkham Knight is at peak physical and mental conditioning equal to that of the Batman, which immediately excludes Strange, at least physically. In Arkham City Batman was able to beat the sh*t out of him without breaking a sweat. (125.237.254.247 08:51, May 10, 2014 (UTC))

A thought... Batman already had an two anti-Batman's. One was Owlman from another universe. Another was Prometheus, who happened to dress like a knight.

Prometheus was raised by criminals who he witnessed being killed by police, and thus as Batman decided to fight the crime that killed his parents, Prometheus decided to fight the justice that killed his. PyroGothNerd (talk) 14:34, June 18, 2014 (UTC)

Good point. Hadn't thought of that. Just because Arkham Knight is a new character doesn't mean the guy in the costume is.(125.237.254.247 11:05, August 2, 2014 (UTC))

The new leader of the league of assassins OR Ras 'Al Ghul. He's too normal to be Joker. (87.113.68.86 17:14, September 8, 2014 (UTC))

although i am intrested in finding out who he is, its overshadowed by what is said about him that he will be a match to the dark knight like the joker could never be. thinking about it makes waiting for the game to come out more agonising 0551E80Y (talk) 11:22, December 2, 2014 (UTC)

Its definately Jason Todd. The Joker never killed him. simply warped him into hating the Bat. Its another one of his twisted games. Also I played the game and found out XP. I have screenshots for those of you who havent seen yet. Click here.

Original Character?
Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm personally looking forward to seeing Arkham Knight. Its rare to see a new Batman villain these days. DC has a bad reputation about constantly recycling Batman villains ove and over again. I mean I like The Joker, The Penguin, and The Catwoman as much as the next guy, but seriously, why can't there be some new blood every now and then.(125.237.254.247 09:01, May 10, 2014 (UTC))

Army Loyalty
Ra's Al Ghul is another villain whose followers are bound by loyalty, not merely fear or leverage. The League of Assassins is a highly orginized and fanatically staunch unit. Removing the offending line in the Trivia section. 98.246.49.97 11:16, October 18, 2014 (UTC)

It's so obviously Robin. Why pretend he's someone else?
How many times, counting every single form of batman media there is, has there been some incarnation of a Robin turning on batman (for whatever reason). You look at Death in the family, Under the red hood, The Dark Knight strikes again, and a dozen other examples of when some form of robin has turned against batman (usually because he [batman] has wronged him in some way.) This is no different; the arkham knight is a variation of this; which one it will be, remains to be seen (Dick grayson, Jason todd, Damian wayne perhaps, etc.). I am aware Robin and nightwing already debuted in arkham city, but since when has that ever stopped DC from completely altering precedent? Gotta give them props for for rehashing this though in the upcoming game; it'll certainly refresh an element of tradgedy that comes with the batman world. (50.183.139.244 20:03, December 10, 2014 (UTC))

he is a character that was created from scratch just for this game plus the creators hinted that arkham knight's identiy will probably be never revealed 0551E80Y (talk) 11:19, December 12, 2014 (UTC)

->As I just said Numerous amounts of times, while the concept of the Arkham knight is original, using robin as his true identiy is not original, which is more than likely what is going to happen, when compared to the sum total of every form of media batman has appeared in or perhaps you need to educate yourself on such titles as "A death in the family", "Under the red hood", "The Dark knight strikes again" and numerous other titles I could name. (50.183.139.244 01:09, December 17, 2014 (UTC))

And like i said rocksteady hinted that his true identity will probably be never revealed so even if what you say is true it could never be proven as the creators will make the character never take of that helmet he's wearing and reveal his face remember that as a possibility0551E80Y (talk) 19:38, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

-> See the difference in our theories is that I actually have precedent to go off of. ("A death in the family", "Under the red hood", "The Dark knight strikes again" and numerous other titles) you have nothing but pure fan-based speculation guiding your theory. Obviously rocksteady has to keep the identity hidden until the last possible second before the game is released, but name even 1 video game where the villian has absoulutely no backstory other than "this guy just showed up with an army, threw the city into chaos, and left". If any video game, book, or movie did that (not even just the arkham series) they would recive wide-spread criticism for underdeveloping the character and it would be universely panned. See the flaw in your theory is that it dosen't make sense from an economic or story-telling stand point to never reveal his identity. It's true they have never given an EXACT CONFIREMD identity of the joker, but they have still provided several backstories, which is what we can expect for the arkham knight character. (50.183.139.244 18:17, January 30, 2015 (UTC))

Yeah, pretty sure it's Robin (specifically Jason Todd, Red Hood). One reason is that Dick Grayson and Tim Drake are already playing as Nightwing and Robin, respectively. Second, it would be lame of DC to create a new villain, contrary to some silly arguments about villain "staleness". I wonder how many people complaining about stale villains have actually read the comics - there are nearly a limitless amount of villains for DC to use - why make a new one that resembles Jason Todd so much? A lot of them are old, yes, but all of them can be revamped to be relevant in a modern story. Anyone familiar with Jason Todd's story will see how similar Arkham Knight's lines are to Red Hood's - their existence is a living mockery of Batman. Red Hood being playable DLC, voiced by the same actor as the Arkham Knight, is also another reason to believe Arkham Knight is Jason Todd. 142.161.160.227 17:30, May 2, 2015 (UTC)

TROY BAKER (VOICE OF JOKER) IS CONFIRMED TO VOICE ARKHAM KNIGHT AND ROBIN (TIM DRAKE)

IMDB has listed Troy baker, as voicing both the Arkham Knight as well as Robin (Tim Drake) in this video game, therefore what can we assume? The Arkham Knight IS Tim Drake...Way to go DC for rehashing the old robin-wants-revenge-on-batman storyline. (50.183.139.244 03:11, May 14, 2015 (UTC))

Matthew Mercer is confirmed to voice Tim Drake. Get your facts right before spreading such bullshit, you goddamn stupid moron.--94.221.147.130 14:26, May 14, 2015 (UTC)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3554580/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3554580/

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3554580/

I'm the moron when you can't even work google you illerterate shit for brains? how about next time YOU actually get the facts before you go shooting off your shit face lying mouth you moron. TRY actually reading IMDB then get back to me you fucking almighty idiot. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3554580/) Tell me, who does it list Troy baker as voicing on IMDB? well, if you had actually used IMDB, you'd know he's voicing Robin (tim drake) in arkham knight. here is a list of troy baker's roles that he will have in arkham knight, because ayone with an IQ above 0 can simply click the link to IMDB and check that all that i'm saying is right. I admit that I was getting way to ahead of myself by saying the Arkham knight is Tim drake, that remains to be seen and i jumped to a conclusion. HOWEVER that does not change the fact that Troy baker IS voicing the arkham knight AND Tim drake Robin. Honestly, don't go shooting off your mouth when you're too lazy to do factchecking, you dumb fuck. (50.183.139.244 21:40, May 14, 2015 (UTC))

Baker also voiced Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins and Two-Face in Batman: Arkham City, so the fact that he's voicing both Robin and Arkham Knight doesn't prove anything. Also, anyone can edit on IMDb, so you should trust it about as much as Wikipedia; meaning you shouldn't trust it at all.BatGuyful (talk) 06:38, May 15, 2015 (UTC)BatGuyful

Yes, you are the moron. Anyone can change IMDB, you could even add Spider-Man to the list. Maybe you should provide a reliable source before acting like a... well, a stupid moron. And you better stop talking about factchecking. It would just disgrace you even more.

I love how you say the international movie database "isn't a source" then you cite a twitter update as your only source. that's just pathetic even for someone as stupid as you. First of all if IMDB is so easy to edit and change then by all means edit it now to say that troy baker isn't voicing robin if you think it really is incorrect. The fact is IMDB isn't the kind of website that would list that kind of mistake a month before the game's release; sorry but it's official word. Hell, I'll tell you what, if you can add spider-man, like you said, as a character to the game just like you said and the entry can stay that way for more than an hour, than i'll gladly admit I was wrong and admit to anything else you want me to, but the fact is IMDB isn't the kind of site that would allow such an error to go unoticied for long. As for using twitter as your only source? that's just pathetic and you know it. ANYONE can open up a celebrity twitter account. I opened two under matthew mercer's name just to prove this point: (@MATTMVA and @MMERCERVA). ANYONE can open up a twitter account and say what they want. Does that mean that the link you provided is wrong? OF COURSE NOT, but you can't say IMDB is a bad source then cite twitter as a source; that's as ass backwards as it gets, little bobo. I already said i was getting ahead of myself saying Tim drake is arkham knight, and already admitted that it was wrong of me to say that early, but that doesnt change the fact that I have a legitimate source backing me up, and you have twitter, the thing teenage girls use when they want to tell the world they got their period; good luck with proving anything using that as your source, you incredulously pompous little man. lolol (50.183.139.244 11:37, May 15, 2015 (UTC))

Wow, I usually don't argue with people who actually say things like "lol" and then complain about teenage girls.

But anyway, you really can't be stupid enough to think that the real Matt Mercer wouldn't correct this post IF this was a fake account. And I can say that IMBD is a worse source than Twitter. Not just because of the reason above but also because the tweets have always been correct in regards of the Arkham games while IMBD was already proven wrong and unreliable several times before. And how would it prove that you're right if I would add Spider-Man and he'd be deleted within an hour? That wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with IMDB being accurate. Every other user who has at least a small amount of average intelligence and knows that this character doesn't belong there could change it as well. Maybe you're too stupid to understand it but IMBD has NEVER been a legitimate source. Now do the world a favor and crawl back into your cave.--94.221.207.118 11:56, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

aww it's so cute watching you struggle to defend twitter as a source, it's like watching a child defend his thesis in 4th grade. Now where to start correcting you, because you gave me plenty of things I can correct. I guess I'll start with the fact that I already said "OF COURSE NOT" that the twitter status is fake, but that's entirely different than elevating twitter to this holy grail of sourceful information, which you seem to want to do. I mean like I already said ANYONE can open a twitter account under anyone's names, just like anyone can edit IMDB, that doesn't mean both of those things are more, or are not more, credible than the other, which only you seem to think, because you're a child who simply cannot take being wrong. I'm not saying Matthew mercer ISN'T voicing robin, because we clearly have conflicting sources at this point, but you thinking that twitter somehow gives you a source advantage is so funny I can bust a nut laughing. Only a 9 year-old would think that way. And it sure is funny how I gave you an out to test IMDB, by adding spider-man like you said, yet you still don't? because you know it's wrong and will be corrected by IMDB. I on the other hand, opened 2 twitter accounts both under matther mercer's name, just to prove my point. but since you said adding spider-an won't prove your point (which is ironic hilarious considering YOU suggested it in the first place) you are welcome to edit the IMDB entry to show that Matt Mercer IS voicing Robin, because after all, if you are right like you keep wanting to belive, then the edited entry won't be reverted, providing it is indeed correct. (which remains to be seen.) but i know you won't even do that much because you're a pathetic coward, who's dug himself in too deep. Why don't you go back to 2nd grade and learn what the words "legitmate" and "source" mean before you come back, because you just keep embaressing yourself at this point little man. But hey, you can always whine about it on twitter little man. then maybe someone with an IQ of 80 like you will find one of your status updates, and cite it as a source for you to use, little bobo. lol (50.183.139.244 22:18, May 15, 2015 (UTC))

I Was Right All Along

Well there you have it everyone, it is the day of the release and the Arkham knight was officially revealed to be the former robin, Jason todd aka the red hood. Shame on Rocksteady for misleading everyone and claiming the Knight was a brand new character when it was really just a brand new persona for jason todd. However Like i said back in Decemeber of 2014, it was so obvious the AK was a former/current robin, so why pretend he was someone else? i still look forward to the game though as i hope all of you do.

Voice Actor
IMDb says Troy Baker will voice the Arkham Knight, but the article says his VA is James Horan.Arkham Knight's voice sounds like Baker to me.BatGuyful (talk) 16:50, December 28, 2014 (UTC) BatGuyful

The Joker Confirmed?
Anyone else think it's awfully convenient that the guy who voiced the Joker in Arkham Origins is now voicing Arkham Knight?

If this isn't a sign that their going to pull off the same shit as they did in the previous game then I don't know what is. (122.62.85.124 09:52, February 28, 2015 (UTC))

Amanda Waller is the back bone behind Scarecrow? What about that blimp in Arkham City
75.147.56.74 13:02, April 1, 2015 (UTC) 13:02, April 1, 2015 (UTC)75.147.56.74

What if Amanda is the one in that blimp in Arkham City? What if she is the one behind the events in Arkham Knight? Think about it, that blimp must mean something and it had access to the restricted airspace of Arkham City otherwise Strange would have shot it down, not to mention it was staying in Arkham City not just passing by as it is seen doing loops around the City. Then Scarecrows army is massive with tanks and highly trained soldiers, drones and the Arkham Knight. Plus it's claimed Arkham Knight knows about batman and what's happened in city and asylum. Amanda also has a massive squad (Known as suicide squad) at her disposal so perhaps that's why this army scarecrow has is so massive and well armed and trained. Perhaps the Arkham Knight is one of Amanda's "Hired Criminals". Course it has to be someone batman has crossed because it claims Arkham Knight wants "Revenge on batman" according to scarecrow in the trailer. I could be wrong about all this but I think it's the best theory i've came up with/ heard. What do you guys think?

Can a damn admin change "}}}}}}}} to Jason Todd? It looks really ugly.

Merging Pages
since Jason Todd and the Arkham Knight are one and the same couldn't we just merge the pages together instead of having two separate pages for Arkham Knight and Jason Todd? Jkirk8907 (talk) 08:49, July 2, 2015 (UTC)
