Red Hood has magic powers in Gotham Knights, but the source of those powers stems from a dark part of both his and Batman's past. In this way, Gotham Knights shows both Batgirl's fear of not being good enough to fill the role of a hero, and her fear of not being there when her father needed her. Players are then able to play another tape that's sitting on the desk, which is an officer calling for help because Gordon has been shot. Then, when he's talking about crime being up in Gotham, he says that Batgirl has abandoned the city. ![]() Gordon says things along the line of Batgirl being the worst hero in Gotham and that she does more harm than good. The labyrinth seems to reinforce Babs' belief that she has a lot to prove as Batgirl in Gotham Knights, and this is especially seen through her unique hallucination scene.īatgirl's hallucination features her father's office, where she hears him talking about her. One of the earlier hallucinations she sees is a Bat Signal that flickers out as she hears police officers wonder where Batman is, which could stem from fears that she isn't able to fill the void left by his death. Although he proves himself to be strong in his own right through the use of his intelligence and stealth skills, Tim wonders if Batman truly felt he was unsuited for the role.īarbara Gordon, daughter of GCPD commissioner Jim Gordon, reclaims her identity as Batgirl in Gotham Knights after being confined to a wheelchair and working as Oracle. Robin then hears Gotham Knights' Batman saying that anybody other than him would have been a better Boy Wonder. ![]() Robin's unique hallucination is the Robin outfit on a mannequin surrounded by flyers with messages along the lines of there being a search for a new Robin. As the third Robin, Tim already had to prove himself, especially after Jason Todd's death made the Dark Knight reluctant to accept another Robin, and the hallucinations he sees show how ingrained his insecurities run about not being good enough compared to Dick and Jason. As is the case with every character who can end up in the labyrinth, Robin hears Batman's voice expressing disappointment and his regrets at bringing him into the Bat Family. Gotham Knights spotlights Tim Drake as Robin - the third to take up the role of the Boy Wonder in both the game's universe and in mainstream DC continuity. Gotham Knights thus shows Nightwing's grief over losing parental figures more than once in his life. The last image Nightwing sees is his parents' death, which occurred at Haley's Circus after their set was tampered with. Before he was Nightwing, and even before he was Robin, Dick was part of a circus family as his parents were the Flying Graysons at Haley's Circus. The last hallucination that Nightwing faces in the labyrinth is the one that is unique to each character, going back to a childhood tragedy for Dick Grayson. Like the other members of the Batman Family in Gotham Knights, Nightwing will also see a hallucination of Alfred, dead in a chair, and a different image of a table where members of the Court of Owls are sitting. One of the first scenes that Dick Grayson sees is Bruce's grave, which fits the grief the Bat Family feels over Batman's death. As Batman's first adopted son, it might not be surprising that Nightwing's hallucinations center around the loss of both his biological parents - the Flying Graysons - and his adoptive parent, Bruce Wayne.
