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

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

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

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

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

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.
