Jason Todd aka Red Hood used to be the 2nd Robin under Batman until he was killed by Joker and later brought back to life thanks to the Lazarus Pit. This resurrection however made him a violent sociopath who doesn’t really adhere to Batman’s code of no killing. However, in Gotham Knights, Red Hood is a bit more mellow and does adopt a non-lethal fighting style.
The fighting styles of Red Hood in Gotham Knight are pure strength and range combat with the help of his two iconic pistols. The unique thing about the pistols is that they are nonlethal.
Red Hood has a variety of skills in combat. The most common is the human bomb which can cause concussions. He can also grab enemies of any size with the help of Large Grab. Red Hood can also focus on enemies from long range in a short time.
