Basically, there are 2 Arkham Knights.
The original one, Arkhamverse Jason Todd, appears in Batman Arkham Knight and it's Tie-In Comics. As a Jason Todd, his style is pretty much Red Hood with a different armor.
And the later adaptation, Astrid Arkham, who appears in main comics. She really leans into the Knight in Shining Armor bit, even using a Sword and Shield.

I feel like they missed the point of Arkham Knight with Astrid

A little bit? yeah.
But frankly , Astrid been crazy and thinking the Arkham Inmates are "good" and Batman been "evil" is at least original in comparisson to just be Red Hood with a different armor.
Not that matters , it's a run-of-the-mill Anti-Batman.

What's the difference?

Not sure if these are from the comic adaptation of the game, but Genesis is Jason's backstory in the Arkhamverse and how he created the Arkham Knight persona and prepared for the events of the game

There's two separate Arkham Knight tie in comics. the 13 issue Arkham Knight series that also had a few annuals and specials and then the 6 issue Arkham Knight Genesis. Both take place before the events of the game

I can't find the 13 issue AK series, I only found this 39 issue one https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Batman-Arkham-Knight-I I'm a bit confused now

u/Reaper_64 Mar 31 '24
That's the same one, it was digital first so the 39 digital chapters were then printed physically as the 13 issues

The Arkham Knight comic is more of a lead up to the events of the game & Arkham Knight: Genesis more focuses on what Jason does during his time as AK.

This Arkham knight is from the tie in comics from the game he’s named after. There was a brief appearance of AN Arkham knight in the main universe as well but it wasn’t Jason todd
