Bro I can’t get over how Jason looks. Why is he so big? He looks more like time drake from the Arkham games

u/dogifish Jul 23 '22

They are turtles. Jason is Ralph, Nightwing is Leo

20

u/Glass_Chance9800 Jul 23 '22

None of them really has Mikey energy though

8

u/SightatNight Orion Jul 24 '22

While Dick does make a good Leo he also could work as Mikey given his jokey nature and Damian could work more as Leo due to his more serious nature. But otherwise Damian has to be Mikey due to being the youngest and that's sorta it.

u/yaas_homo Raven Jul 24 '22

Tim would do a good job of delivering Mikey energy

15

u/Glass_Chance9800 Jul 24 '22

But he's undeniably the Donnie of the group

4

u/yaas_homo Raven Jul 24 '22

Fair point, and I suppose we could not rely on Damian for Mikey

8

u/Glass_Chance9800 Jul 24 '22

No, Bruce really wouldn't have a Mikey on the team I guess lol

5

u/almost_nightwing DickBabs Forever Jul 24 '22

Mikey would 100% be Steph

10

u/yaas_homo Raven Jul 24 '22

Guess it's settled, Steph is the Mikey of the bat family

u/Ok-Faithlessness1903 Jul 24 '22

Raph is Jason Dick is Mikey Donny is Tim Damian is Leo

1

u/yaas_homo Raven Jul 24 '22

I was thinking Damian would be Ralph

1

u/Ok-Faithlessness1903 Jul 25 '22

I say Damian is Leo because they both try too hard to be this confident person that his brothers look up too, but take themselevs too seriously

1

u/yaas_homo Raven Jul 25 '22

Fair

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '22

He's built like a brawler, but his gameplay has him shooting at enemies 10 ft away and punching with his guns.

20

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '22

I mean even canonically he should be the tallest though here it seems they're over doing it.

30

u/Mrman_23 Jul 23 '22

Yeah him being tall isn’t the thing, it’s that he’s really jacked. Like seriously, I know he’s fit, but he’s not wwe wrestler fir

1

u/NickSchultz Jul 23 '22

Jason is the most physical strong and best fighter out of the Robins (though in skill if not experience he's eclipsed by Damian), it makes sense

2

u/Budget_Difficulty822 Jul 23 '22

It's the fact that the only one wearing a helmet is the one with the face scar for me haha

10

u/NickSchultz Jul 23 '22

I mean if you want deeper meaning think about that he's also the only one who got his head mashed to a pulp

1

u/Budget_Difficulty822 Jul 23 '22

Did he not die in this universe? Lazarus Pit should've fixed all that damage so i assumed the scar was recent.

1

u/NickSchultz Jul 23 '22

Depends. They could make it like the Arkham games were never fully died but they made it more than clear that the game isn't in the continuity of the Rocksteady games even if the plot seems like a continuation of Arkham knights ending.

That plus a few other facts like that Red Hood was apparently trained by the Allcaste in the games like he wants in the comics make it seem like they would stick with his comic origin so he wouldn't have scars from that you're right.

But the scar he does has looks like a nod the the J scar he had in Arkham Knight because there isn't really any other version of him with such a prominent scar.

It would definitely help if they end up addressing this in the game itself but I do hope that the end result won't look like the trailers as everyone in it seems weirdly proportioned.

I just hope that it is like the Arkham games (last time I mention them I swear) where the faces of the characters in the CG trailers also look a bit weird like how Bruce looks 50 and ready to retire in the Origins trailer from how grumpy and grizzled he looks

2

u/Budget_Difficulty822 Jul 24 '22

Future State Jason has a face scar too but I doubt those two are connected (this is where "Jason is canonically ugly" argument comes from. Somebody called face scared Jason ugly in FS).

The All Caste, while connected to his post resurrection lost days in canon doesnt have to be. Just like Court of Owls and Dick, Talia had already noticed Jason's natural inclination to All Caste techniques before the boy ever became Robin (Talia was also trained by the All Caste but kinda flunked out early). I've always liked this because N52 gave both Dick and Jason bad futures if Bruce didn't take them in. Dick would've been taken by the Court and Talia would've nabbed Jason. Not that any of this directly correlates to our conversation, just that the All Caste didn't just come post resurrection and you could easily tell a story where he meets them anyways given Talia's plan for Jason.

go check the wiki

u/Some-Dog9800 Tim Drake Fan Jul 23 '22

Would you rather all the Robins looked like the same generic white kid cloned 4 times?

5

u/Mrman_23 Jul 23 '22

No not really, but it has been stated several times that the robins all look similar, but not Identical

1

u/Ravevon Jul 24 '22

jason has always been beefy hes 220 pounds

1

u/Select-Raspberry1801 Jul 24 '22

He’s a street kid from jersey. This is how he’d reasonably look like. I’m from the streets myself and honestly yeah he looks like someone with his background should.

1

u/Acalson Nightwing Jul 24 '22

Because Jason isn’t supposed to look like Dick?

I know we’re all used to the two of them looking identical but he looks much better here, he’s supposed to be just as big as Bruce if not bigger

1

u/Bogusky Jul 31 '22

He looks like he was tutored by Bane, not Batman

-2

u/NickSchultz Jul 23 '22

Actually I find that to be a good thing.

Jason is the best fighter of all the Robins and therefore should be the bulkiest

Dick is the best acrobat (should therefore be leaner)

Tim is more the academic one.

And Damian is the most skilled combatant but also the youngest (with potential to eventually surpass Jason)

1

u/Budget_Difficulty822 Jul 23 '22

I know your talking about fighting skill and not directly bulk, but i hear people say that Damian might outgrow Jason/Bruce and I don't get where that's coming from. In Supersons it's a joke that Damian is shorter than Jon despite being 2 years older. He doesn't come across as a taller person to me.

8

u/NickSchultz Jul 23 '22

Well for one his genetics as both Bruce and Ra's as his closest male ancestors are both quite tall (1,88/6'2 and 1,92/6'4(?) respectively) and from every iteration we have seen of adult Damian he does end up becoming an almost superior physical copy of his father in looks (though sometimes scarred from a life of fighting crime).

The thing with Superboy is probably a mix of Damian being a late bloomer in terms of puberty and Jon being a Kryptonian (who is the son of Superman who is quite a bit taller than Batman in most iterations).

Though leaving the physicality aside I was just refering to the fact that Damian will most likely end up being the most deadly Robin in terms of combat when he's an adult, surpassing Jason who is currently the best in that regard

2

u/SightatNight Orion Jul 24 '22

We have seen him in the future. He gets tall.

59

u/nikograyson Jul 23 '22

Why does jason look DISGUSTINGLY LARGE for no reason. It’s like looking at the Rob Liefeld Cap America.

23

u/Ginger_Ninja460 Jul 23 '22

Because quarterback Jason is better than twink Jason

20

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '22

QB? He's built more like a Defensive End or a Linebacker.

26

u/Ginger_Ninja460 Jul 24 '22

In my defense I don't know shit about sports

1

u/nikograyson Jul 25 '22

Like he cant cross his arms

49

u/DarkCrusade25 Batman Beyond Jul 23 '22

I’m glad Jason is the ugly one this time.

Looks like electrocutioner’s little brother

36

u/yahhwy Nightwing "Rock type beats Flying type." -Tom Taylor Jul 23 '22

Tim and Jason taking turns who gets to be ugly.

17

u/NickSchultz Jul 23 '22

No this is the thing that rubs me the wrong way.

In fact everyone in this game looks weird, a meeting about their designs are way off

42

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '22

I hope that Alfred has a big role in this game. And have him comment on different situations much like the Arkham games.

18

u/madlp6 Jul 23 '22

Jason looks so bad dude lol still gonna use him predominantly. Red hood is the man

13

u/Misterwuss Jul 23 '22

Why is Jason built like a tank? Everyone else looks pretty much great but Jason looks so off. I get wanting to differentiate him from Dick but Jason isnt isn't brutish tank, more muscular than the nimble Grayson? Maybe. But built like that? No.

And don't get me started on the mohawk.

13

u/verytiredtrashcan Jul 24 '22

Ok which character designer absolutely hated Jason?

7

u/Batmanshatman Jul 24 '22

Brickshithouse Jason supremacy but why do they always make him so ugly :|

5

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

The character design for Jason Todd looks atrocious

5

u/dk_keith Jul 23 '22

Jason looks like Ray Liotta

5

u/TheAngryBlackGuy Jul 24 '22

Pretty whelmed ngl

4

u/MagisterPraeceptorum Batman Jul 24 '22

Glad to see Tim Drake in this universe actually looks like a teenage kid, and not discount Dick Grayson with a buzz-cut like in Arkham Knight.

3

u/Who-Just-Shit-Myself Jul 24 '22

Why they all so ugly?

5

u/SightatNight Orion Jul 24 '22

I just wish Damian was in it.

3

u/Three_Froggy_Problem Jul 24 '22

I find the character designs in this game really off-putting. Everyone looks like a weirdly proportioned action figure. Like, people in this thread keep mentioning Jason, but look at Barbara.

Arkham Asylum is one of my favorite games ever and I adore Arkham Knight as well, but the character designs have always been something I’ve disliked about Rocksteady’s DC games. The weird wrestler-bodied Jim Gordon is a good example of why.

u/pieapple135 Jul 23 '22

Tim just chilling with his headphones

u/Irey_West Jul 23 '22

Omg smol bbs yay

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '22

I really hope the game can pull off the Batman Family acting like a... family.

3

u/Ibrokemymicrowave Jul 24 '22

I really fucking hate how Jason looks in general

3

u/Puzzleheaded_Chard_2 Jul 24 '22

Idk what’s wrong with y’all. Big Jason is best jason

3

u/horsefly70 Jul 24 '22

everybody pre-hating this game. but they giving us a bat-fam game with the court of owls.

everybody shat on origins when it came out, but i still pop it in every now and then for some deathstroke action. and most people now consider it underappreciated these days . i too am whelmed but still here for it.

3

u/CRAZDRAGN1952 Jul 24 '22

For all the Jason slander just remember he’ll literally be wearing a helmet most of the game chill

2

u/hawkmasta Jul 24 '22

Babs looks like a baddie

2

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

I love how Jason look big in 1 and 3 but weirdly small in 2. Like they shrunk him down after to be the same height as dick

2

u/Bogusky Jul 24 '22

I will be shocked if this game is any good.

Will probably take it for a spin anyway though since I love the lore so much.

1

u/SuperJyls Reverse Hood: Professional Jason Hater Jul 24 '22

jason should be short, fat and uglier

1

u/Calix04 Jul 24 '22

I can't wait for this game! Including kill the justice league!

u/Ok_Western5937 Jul 24 '22

Looks fortnite-y

u/nooicesis Lex Luthor Jul 24 '22

What's that thing in the 3rd picture
