Batman: Arkham Knight - Jason Todd Torture Scenes

Jason Todd being tortured by The Joker in Batman: Arkham Knight.

[@TheOnlyMeChanneI]

I dont blame jason for wanting to kill batman. being tortured by the joker for a year, knowing how persistent batman is in saving people but yet failing to save him would really piss anyone off

[@daisyguzman9259]

I agree

[@yourgrandsonsdarkknight3702]

GraceAndGlory Couldn't agree more

[@thespidercrafter8547]

I agree

[@romanticleave8982]

Totally agree. Batman sucks sometimes.

[@myasmith1820]

Then he got replacement in 6 months by Tim

[@phantomwriter05]

My favorite line in the whole game is the ... "I'm fine Jas-Tim." "You haven't done that in awhile." I just like the implied history of that moment. Like Jason's death was something that took a long, long time to get prospective on. And even know Tim understands that it's just something he's gonna have to live with.

[@TheTheDontae]

I sometime I forget because of how much fun the joker having and how interesting his character can be written I forget how much of a monster he really is I mean he fucking broke that man Down

[@noahrules9946]

Dontae Kelly Honestly, I think Arkham Knight's portrayal of the character is really in line with the Alan Moore version of the character (the best version aka the one from Killing Joke) and is probably the best of the Arkham series.

[@Ironbat92]

When all said and done, this is a great twist on the Classic Death in the Family storyline. Rather than having Jason dying from an explosion, the Joker actually toys with him till he's willing to what ever he wants and even using Tim as a reason to make Jason hate Batman really makes it even more surprising and darker. It might not be more violent than past games, but it's thematic subject matter is what really gave this game an M rating.

[@WinstonPoptart]

Looking back on it, I agree. It makes more sense now because the Joker is now dead, Jason would've been happy thinking Batman killed him. I'm glad they altered the story just a bit, but still having that classic feel to it.

[@mustafairfan43]

Yeah, like a lot of people are going "it was obvious it was Jason" and stuff along that line, but that really wasn't the main theme of the game, the Knights identity. I kind of thought that this Batman was sort of like Rocksteadys personal psychological introspection into Batman, like his regrets, his values, his fears, his limits, and his tenacity, and I feel they honestly nailed it.

[@YungKuroKami]

jimmy mustard Same here

[@youknowwho8001]

Ironbat92 so tell me what's worse GTA V torture scene or this?

[@Ironbat92]

Jermone Lol Oh, GTA V's hands down.

[@AksisAllyed]

This was so painful to watch. The fact that you are still in control of batman during this scene really instills the emotion that batman is going through. You can move all you want, but no matter how hard you try you can't save him.

[@grant5635]

it even gives an example of how hard batman looked for jason while he was missing but still could never find him no matter how hard he tried

[@angelagreenwood7939]

so we can all agree this scene pretty much gave the game the m rating right?

[@stealthynaxo]

Angela Greenwood In this universe, Joker sent a tape of the six months he torture Jason to Batman.

These torture scenes shows how joker is the best villain in comics seriously,the sort of character you hate and love

[@g0atboy207]

Marlon Rodrigues Love to hate.

[@kickassrb21]

Tortured by the joker for a whole year. Damn

[@johny1220]

I think Joker told batman that Jason is dead so batman stopped looking

[@abdullahahmedt]

Guys how did Jason get caught in the first place?

[@Deuce972]

Abdullah Tariq Jason was frustrated that Batman wouldn't kill the Joker. So he decided to go after him himself. And well, you see what happened.

[@leon4000]

Idiots, both of them Robin for being reckless and tried to take care of the joker only to get caught and tortured....and Batman...for not questioning Joker and his tape...and confirming Jason's death himself. Granted he took it hard...but find out first before concluding.

[@neptuneniq]

Abdullah Tariq in the comics he found his birth mother...but she was blackmailed by Joker to give him up.

[@BoringMan]

If you look at from the voice actors it's mark hamill teaching troy baker a lesson.

[@mpperrusquia]

[@loyalcompanion2104]

BoringMan he is just like " i think your time is up as the joker, NOW ITS MY TURN AGAIN"

[@BoringMan]

kylo ren "this is what happens when your drag your friends into this crazy little game of ours"

[@sofiamatos8297]

Batman replaced him without proof of his death? Six months later? Assuming he trained Tim for a few months, that means he replaced Jason almost right away.

[@WinstonPoptart]

He was sent a video of his death.

[@sofiamatos8297]

Jason was killed after a year of torture, that's when Joker sent the video. By then, Bruce was already fighting with Tim as Robin.

[@sofiamatos8297]

In the game? About 70%, when Batman goes see the infected jokerized people that were kidnapped by Harley. In the first hallucination/flashback, Joker said to Jason that has been 6 months since he captured him and shows him a photo of Batman with the new Robin. It proves that Bruce replaced Jason before getting confirmation of his death and assuming Tim had some training, he replaced Jason very shortly.

[@WinstonPoptart]

Sofia Matos Well DC is going to produce a comic showing more of this Arkham Jason Todd. Maybe we'll see more there.

[@WinstonPoptart]

Canis Mayoris Awhile ago. Saw it on IGN.

[@Psnowdog7]

So that's why the game had an M rating......that being said, since the rating was already there, would it have been too much to ask that I hear a thug say "OH *FUCK* IT'S BATMAN" just once?

[@SuperMicklovin]

Much darker than the comic version,anyone else get a Batman Beyond Return of the Joker vibe ?

[@Elspethknighterrant]

SuperMicklovin The comic version was pretty dark too after all it inspired this one.

[@SuperMicklovin]

True but I feel this is more disturbing.

[@jericho7173]

It's a bit more than the comic version yea, but I still say the comic version was still darker. Jason's mom betrayed him and handed over to the joker, beat him, and Jason's dying act was he was still trying to save her. But then they both died.

[@sahayeda5220]

SuperMicklovin I know...brings me goosebumps thinking about it...

[@BullistixFLC]

SuperMicklovin I came here after watching the return of the joker scene cause I was reminded of this =P =(

[@davidshen801]

If Joker REALLY wanted to embarrass Jason, he should have put the brand's font in Comic Sans.

[@PoeDameron15]

Those scenes were really disturbing to watch. No wonder this game got rated M.

[@DJJaayL]

The "j" never stood for Jason, it stood for "joker" because he owned him....

[@somethingwicked7869]

Ouch, yes. That scar means that he can never go back to his old life. Joker may be an insane maniac, but at that moment, he knew EXACTLY what he was doing.

[@Samuel152]

Joker isn't insane. He's just very evil and rotten to the core.

[@thespiritus4440]

Its up to Jason, he can either crumble under the suffering and become jokers pet or rise above

[@two4328]

The Joker is insane, he feels no guilt and he has killed people for no reason at all. Some people who are killed are killed for a reason but sometimes its just because why not.

[@tiannataylor9586]

Joker isn't crazy or clinically insane he is a psychopath (there is a difference crazy is a temporary feeling or in some cases it just means off your hinge in a way that means your usually out of touch with the real world) he was driven to "madness", the only reason we think he is insane is because thats what the doctors and batman and all the other characters want us to think. As a psychologist and psychiatrist (not like Harley so don't even make the joke) i can tell you that he is a very complex character and there is more to him than meets the eye.

[@Xehanort10]

The fact that you can hear the chattering gag teeth from Asylum and City in the background of the flashbacks is a nice touch.

[@sheyanneapple2367]

Who else saw the crowbar and went "aw shit..."

[@kayceerhayneproductions7933]

+Dickie Bird146 I did

[@kamikoks]

When Jason say ,, No, he wouldn't" my heart broke

[@gorrow1990]

This section of Arkham Knight pretty much secured the M rating for this game.

[@TheNutty1NiNjA]

It feels weird hearing him begging for mercy in the dark with joker branding him like some sort of slave. Especially with him being highly trained by batman too, but everyone has there limits.

[@monteroprince9832]

Do you really think he was able to keep up the muscle and health after a year of malnutrition

[@Megs24theJokerQueen]

Ah so that's what he did to him while he and Jason was in the dark part of the room

[@somethingwicked7869]

If you really think about it, Jason pretty much is a slave by the end of this game. The transitions to Jason's character in each flashback show that clearly. In the first one, he's still fighting back. It's been six months and he still has hope, still has enough fire to spit that "Screw you!" at the Joker. But then, it changes. We see that it's just a mask, just a front, with that line, "Why won't you just kill me?" The second one is just horrific. From the sounds Jason was making at the beginning of the flashback, it sounds like he's gagged. God knows how long he's been strung up on that hook. And then Joker's monologue...at first glance, it seems like he's merely telling Jason that Bruce doesn't want him. But if you read into the whole "unwanted puppy" thing, he's pretty much telling Jason that Batman doesn't consider him a person- that he's no better than an animal, and it's heartbreaking. And then that brand, that mark of ownership..."just make sure people know he's yours." Everyone who sees Jason's face now will know what happened. That third scene, though...it's not a torture scene. Joker isn't doing anything to Jason until he shoots him. But we can see the evidence of brainwashing all over the place. Jason's completely broken by this point- he's not resisting anymore. He's saying exactly what the Joker wants to hear, hoping that he won't be punished for it. And he gets shot. Jason really is Joker's slave by the third scene. Joker says plainly, "He's mine. Mine, mine, mine. To do with as I wish." Jason would never have been the Joker's sidekick, he would have been his slave. Joker owns him. And what breaks my heart is that complete defeat in his voice when Joker asks him who Batman is. That quiet, "Of course, sir." Jason might just as well have called the Joker "Master." But to me, the worst part is how the Joker phrases his taunts to Batman. "Did you hear that, Bats? Kid's not yours anymore. He's mine. Mine, mine, mine. To do with as I wish." The worst part of that isn't the fact that Joker has essentially enslaved Jason. It's that second line- "Kid's not yours anymore." Jason's sitting right there. He can hear that. And that line- "not yours anymore"- suggests that Jason belonged to Bruce. That before he was Joker's slave, he was Batman's. And if Joker had killed him with that gunshot, he would have died thinking that he would always be owned by someone, that he would always be a slave in some way.

@@somethingwicked7869 Comments like these make me truly realize how complex the writing in these games are

[@alien-hs1zn]

He was 16 when this was all happening to him

[@melanated_persephone2334]

I don't blame Jason for wanting to kill Batman. Its one thing that he was tortured by the Joker for a year, but for Batman to replace him is an asshole move. Especially if your only going by what Joker showed and told you. At least look for Jason's body to confirm it, your Batman for crying out loud.

[@Treyman-yi7ei]

Tim came to him, Batman didn't want to replace him

[@belakovacs7687]

Trey D Still he accepted Tim and replaced Jason

[@Treyman-yi7ei]

Béla Kovács Rejecting someone so talented would be dumb as hell It's still not like he was actively trying to replace him, and he probably saw that Tim needed help, along with how Batman needed help himself

[@belakovacs7687]

Trey D I know what you mean but technically i'm still right by accepting Tim he hurt Jason. I mean come on Batman at least should look after Jason's body to make sure he is dead. He is the world's greatest detective after all for God's sake.

[@melanated_persephone2334]

Béla Kovács My point exactly.

[@virtuousjoffrey8022]

Arguably one of the best scenes ever gaming history , no game tied me down this much narratively.

[@Corallus_Caninus]

I felt so bad for Jason, this made me realise how truly of an iconic figure he is. He was emotionally and physically mentally distorted until he was numb and was indoctrinated to believe jokers twisted reality so that he really did resent batman we all saw the extremes he took to kill batman but in the end his conscious of morality caught up in his broken mind so he would do the right thing. This was truly captivating and I think Jason Todd / Red Hood / Robin is my new favourite character! What a hero. :)

[@ralphydelgado1267]

*"Im fine Jas-Tim.."* The feels

[@conorscott430]

When I completed the game and looked back at the story as a whole, I can see why Jason did what he did. I don't think it's just because Batman replaced him with Tim. Jason has a temper but he can be rational most of the time. He would probably hate the pair of them for the rest of his life, and might even challenge the pair to a fight, but to terrorise his home city and plan to destroy America? No, not even he would go that far. I think the true beginning of the Arkham Knight began with the end of Arkham City. Pretty much everybody assumed that Bruce killed the Joker, so imagine how Jason would feel that he was robbed of the chance to destroy his tormentor? Jason took years to recover and to plot revenge, and finding that it was all for nothing could drive anyone insane. So no matter how much Jason insisted that he only wanted Bruce to die, I think it's safe to assume that he wanted him to suffer just as much as Scarecrow wanted.

[@Treyman-yi7ei]

Gotham is one of the only reasons Bruce became Batman not to mention he's spent billions on the city trying to make it better If it just became a parking lot and Bruce couldn't stop it I'm pretty sure they would have really fucked with him and he would have also died

[@Deathpool_04]

Him wanting to get joker might be a good point but wouldn't he not get mad that Batman tried to avenge him? I think he's pissed that Batman didn't come for him. He was waiting for the guy he trusted like a father to show up and save him but didn't. He thought that Bruce didn't care about him and that he just gave up looking for him and then replaced him right away. I would get pissed too if I was getting beaten and tortured for almost a year with the feeling of if your "father" was going to save you at any second but didn't.

[@ControlDesigns]

This is why I really liked the Arkham Knight as a villain, he's probably the only Batman villain who has legitimate grievances against him, it's chilling to think about what a year of torture under Joker would be like. Arkham Knight is definitely one of the highlights for this gen of consoles.

[@helenelizabeth9335]

Jason was wrapped in barbed wire :( his story arc is so sad ;-;

[@DeadFreakingPool]

Easily one of my favorite sequences in this entire game! Shows just how brutal Joker can be while portraying the pain Jason goes through.

[@TheOceanspray99]

I actually screamed, and now I'm weeping in my room. Great.

[@simonsofowora418]

I actually prefer this version of Jason todds story to the comic books. It makes more sense that he never actually died and was just tortured. In the comic books he's revived because superboy prime punches reality and causes Jason's death to have never occurred. Yes he punches fucking reality....also torturing Jason to break his will seems like something the joker would do

[@kirak1561]

Seun Sofowora Actually I also prefer the AK Version. This makes way more sense.

[@ramirosanchez5454]

I prefer Jason being revived by the Lazarus Pit tbh. It gave him more of the insane mind and legit revival than the SBP punching reality

[@batfreeze56]

Whenever I see the Joker I always think of 2 incarnations: Heath Ledger's EXTREMELY dark take and Ceasar Romero, the very light take. Then I see Hamill's and think "Oh, its light with a bit of darkness mixed in". That is until I played Arkham Knight, which was the first thing to shock me in gaming for years! I never thought of Hammil as THIS evil, so when I played this and saw the branding scene I kid you not I dropped my controller.

They sorta censored Barbara shooting herself in the head. Also, didn't they do something like that in Arkham City? With Rās impaling himself in attempt to kill Batman.

[@skywingproduction3691]

they did such a good job with Jason the eye emotion with the lights and tones on that part of him wow just omgs!

[@PossessedbyPhoenix]

This sort of thing happens in real life, and might be the reason for them they decided on centering the game around him as the militaristic leader Arkham Knight rather than directly as the vigilante Red Hood, to put emphasis on it being a battlefield. As he ranted, "I was just a child, you made me into a soldier and sent me to war." War can traumatize people, and it doesn't matter how badass you are, torture is inhumane and can break you, physically and emotionally.

[@EmptyMan000]

PossessedbyPhoenix Torture is quite humane. Only humans do it. To say it's inhumane is like saying something other than humans do it. Like being cruel is inhuman. Humane? Inhumane? What silly words to define humans as strictly compassionate entities.

[@thelordar8399]

proof that jason Todd is one of the three jokers and joker hypnotized him and beat him to insanity and jason biggest identity is now the joker new 52 joker to be exact and because jason came back from the Lazarus pit he is immortal and in the new 52 jokers bio he is immortal and if you listen to one of the torture scenes it sounds like he is spraying him and writing on him and which when you look at the suicide squad joker he looks like the tattoos where written or sprayed on also one of the tattoos says damaged and in the episode where jason Todd comes to life by ras al ghul he says but returned to the world (damaged) because he felt batman the closest person to him at the time just let him die and for that has tryed many identity covers including the arkham knight and red hood but his biggest attempt yet is the identity of the joker and in the batman vs superman movie Bruce Wayne says how many good guys stayed that way which is referring to Harvey dent who turnt to two face and also Jason Todd and duriwitglis there's a statue that says haha jokes on you and the big joke is that jason is the joker and batman didn't realise it and then because he is immortal and that he is jason Todd he knows batman couldn't kill him after the guilt he felt so there for he could get his revenge on batman for letting him die and haunt him forever and that's why new 52 joker looks so young and the only reason Harley Quinn is in love with him is because he has the same twisted mind as the joker and therefore making it so obvious yet complicated for batman as the joker will truly never die as there is no joker with out batman and there is no batman without joker as both batman and joker are obsessed with each other and this is wouldn't be the first time a robin became a joker just like Tim drake jason can become a joker and because batman has a never ending cycle of sidekicks they are just as vulnerable and the joker cycle will never end.

When Joker talks in that kid voice before branding Jason, I realized nobody can ever play the Joker in such a dynamic way like Mark Hammil.

Where exactly in Arkham asylum was Jason kept? You explore the whole island in Asylum, but you never see any evidence of this

[@dannililiac]

it happened way before the events of the game so of course there is no evidence anymore

[@emojimoviehypetrain4978]

Danni Liliac well Jason was tortured during the time of the interview tapes, Witch take place 1 year before Arkham asylum. Plus in Arkham knight gennissis ( a comic series based on what happened before Arkham knight ) it's revealed that he what still being tortured by Harley and joker during Arkham asylum, and just before the joker-titan boss fight deathstroke helped him escape.

[@Xehanort10]

The Arkham Knight comics are non canon. Jason was tortured years before the events of Arkham Asylum. He wasn't still being tortured during Arkham Asylum because he was already long gone and had become The Arkham Knight by then. Deathstroke didn't help him escape either. Joker himself let Jason go after he faked his death, satisfied that he'd completely broken him and turned him against Batman and planning to use Jason as a weapon against Batman at some point but he never got the chance before Joker died of his Titan disease in Arkham City. Jason was only tortured in the asylum for a year. For him to have been there until the events of Arkham Asylum he'd have to have been tortured for years which he wasn't.

Jason was in arkham asylum Reddit link shows the easter egg amp.reddit.com/r/BatmanArkham/comments/e614s7/red_hood_easter_egg_in_batman_arkham_asylum/

[@levimcfarland3330]

if u look in doctor young office there’s a room with the same markings on the floor as seen in arkham knight and there a wheelchair in the corner with the wheel still spinning a little easter egg

[@EyeBeZombie]

5:27 that part really caught me off guard it's so well done

[@xKingx16]

"World's Greatest Detective" ...Ha.

[@MrSneaky97]

I was texting my friend when I saw harley quinn and he responded, "Your about to see the knight." I saw jason and i responded "It's jason isn't it?" Then he said "lol ya." Then jason got shot and i responded "are you sure lol?"

[@ruhp2500]

Why bother making it m for mature if they're just gonna censor the violence?

[@johny1220]

Joker is so crazy and he put that J on his face

[@yuejin1776]

J - Joker - Jason

[@brightfamia]

The fact that the game randomly went "I know you want to fight some bosses, but JASON TODD RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW" kinda spoiled the ending.

[@Freelancer4tehwin]

Reminds me of the Joker/Tim Drake scenes from Return of the Joker. It's a really great development for the Joker-Batman dynamic. It's really messed up, but it really encapsulates just how wrong everything between them is.

[@platinum_noelle]

Jason, my poor baby, noooooooo! Q~Q :::>.

[@SiaSeeya_]

Are you his mom or girlfriend? Lololol

[@faizanchaudhry8745]

I still don't get how he's still alive and how he was able to get an army and all that equipment

[@staticasthenia]

Lazarus Pit

[@faizanchaudhry8745]

i hate how they didnt show us that

[@FIXINGSHREDDER09]

He was never killed in this story arch he was tortured for a year

[@kevonmcneil8346]

Fixingshredder He gets shot and killed..he definitely died. Joker even mentions it in AC how he killed him

[@faizanchaudhry8745]

but how did he get his army?

[@user-oe1hq3wm4r]

Jokers got fuckin quick-draw on that gun.

[@g0atboy207]

I haven't played the game (yet), but this seems like a nice mix between what happened in the comics, what happened in the Under the Red Hood film and of course in the Batman Beyond film.

[@mattykatig9256]

Okay. I don't want hate. But they seriously need to make a batman show with all the robins. Not just dick. Or just Tim and dick. No. All. Dick(Nightwing). Jason(Red Hood). Tim(Red Robin). Damian(Robin). And the bargirls. Cmon. Barb(Oracle). Cass(Black Bat). Steph(Spoiler)

[@jordonbautista6360]

MY NAME IS REEK!

[@rckgirl414]

Every time I watch this it breaks my heart especially when Jason gets branded. Just hearing him beg and scream makes me want to cry. Poor Jason. T_T

[@somethingwicked7869]

I know!! Jason was so strong and rebellious as Robin, and even in the first torture scene. By the branding, though, he's lost all hope. And in the third one, poor boy's completely broken.

[@dylanrobles2391]

I always feel bad for Jason whenever I look at him in comics or on TV. I get the feels 😭

[@simonzone3]

It's sick :(

[@ericfukumoto5737]

Originally this was my theory for the arkham knight but I quit on it cuz I thought that would be to predictable because Jason Todd has done jack shit in the arkham series but as soon as he called batman "old" I was like god dammit rocksteady y couldn't u have made it Jim Gordon now that right there would have been a good twist, they constantly threw hints in our faces regarding his identity anyways

[@Juanito825]

I was hoping it was gonna be Damien Wayne. It would've made sense since his mother Talia died in Arkham City and he could've used that to fuel his revenge by blaming batman.

[@Dagenspear]

Juan Ramirez I agree.

[@mustafairfan43]

you know why Jim Gordon would have been a twist? Cuz it's an absolutely horrible idea. Surprise doesn't necessarily equal great, otherwise we could have had Rosie o donell as the arkham knight, what a twist!

[@shaman1922]

jimmy mustard I think it was a joke.

[@charlesford7887]

Juan Ramirez Damian was such a horrible and poorly made character

[@Conzioco]

This is actually terrifying. We've seen several minutes of the YEAR that Jason was tortured. Just imagine, being beaten and burned all day. Then when Joker left, just waiting alone in the dark. It's horrifying.

[@darrickmangual2635]

I remember seeing this scene a few days ago, when I first beat the game. Jason's scream is horrifying. To think that he went through a year of torture by the Joker. I can only imagine how Bruce felt when he found out about the Arkham Knight's true identity.

[@somethingwicked7869]

I can only imagine what else Joker did to Jason that the game didn't show us. If you look closely at the character during each flashback, there are new scars and wounds every time.

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

How would Batman have these memories?

[@EazyLai]

I was wondering the same thing

[@dat078912reppa]

Because he has Jokers blood in him that's why he can see Jason Todd getting tortured and seeing Barbara being shot by the Joker

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

***** Yeah, but having the Jokers blood doesn't mean he has his brain cells... imagine if everyone got memories from every blood transfusion.

[@soaringnegro5929]

Joker sent him a video of jason being tortured when your fighting arkam night batman mentions it.

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

Thunder Flash Yeah I get that part but not the other two.

[@Howlingburd19]

Who is the big, bad bat? His name. Tell me. Of course, sir. It's- *Gun Shot* O_o

[@joshuanelson6795]

If they showed us these scenes after The Arkham Knight's identity was revealed, it MIGHT have not been so predictable.

[@mj9088]

This version of the story is so sad I almost cried.

[@bonniethebunny151]

OK number one Jason was shot with BODY AROUMOR because joker put it on him number Jason escaped during jokers prison break number three joker Paid death stroke to kill Jason but Jason paid death stroke first they both worked together for a tiny bit until Jason left him then Jason became TEH RED HODD *cheer cheer* thank u 💃💃💃 fabulus!

[@oldboy3813]

Damn, why i see this in the suggested one video list? Whatever... the title is already sufficient. THANKS FOR SPOILER, BIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH.

[@29AndreG]

Ya know, when they showed this, I knew where this was going.

[@RedDeadEdits]

This is hearbreaking, does anyone else feel like they want to save Jason Todd?

[@PunkkRatt]

I think im the only person who laughed watching all of these.

[@TheFLAMEXD]

You're the Joker

[@PunkkRatt]

Thunder Goku that's the plan

[@TheFLAMEXD]

Luna Aggerholm what is the matter with you?

[@user-jk6uh7gx7i]

Me too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

[@somethingwicked7869]

You psycho.

[@natetruehart7562]

Joker broke his body, mind, and his spirit. I do feel genuinely bad for Jason.

[@thejoker5454]

One of my best accomplishments! Of course, he came back. However, you've got to give the kid points. He came all the way back from the dead to try and kill me and Bats!

[@Megs24theJokerQueen]

He sure did joker

[@EatPlayNoSleep]

I mean honestly I died of laughter with that shot. It was just too hilarious but I kinda felt bad afterwards lol
