History Characters / GothamKnights2022

* AdaptationalSexuality: Dick has a Blüdhaven mug with the bisexual pride flag on it, had an interview with a male interviewer where he flirts with the interviewer and says he doesn't want to limit himself and describing all people as gorgeous when asked and talks to Tim about going to Pride in costume without talking to Jason or Barbara, implying that Dick may be bisexual in Gotham Knights, unlike his heterosexual comics counterpart.
** According to the game directors in an interview, he's just an ally for Tim, but the writing seems deliberately vague. There's support for both claims.

* ConsultingAConvictedKiller: He is consulted about the Owls.

* EvilUncle: [[spoiler: He's Martha Wayne's brother, and consequently Bruce's uncle. He's also the Mouth of Sauron and primary judge for the Court of Owls.]]

* FieryRedhead: Jason's short hair is actually primarily red, and he's easily the most passionate of the Knights. %%https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gotham_knights_jason_hair_proof.png

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Oh yes.Jason uses quite a few "big man" wrestling moves in his takedowns, including chokeslams, body slams and a powerbomb.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Batgirl is the sole female member of the team.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Just because all of them have a past association with Batman, doesn't mean they command the fear or respect he did, and they'll have to fight hard to prove they can fill the void Batman left (Which does happen eventually: At the start of the game people on the street will be scared or doubtful to see them; by the end, most will be excited to actually see one of Gotham's heroes in person. At the end of the game there's a line that people are sending info about crimes straight to them instead of the police.).

* HazyFeelTurn: Oswald has claimed that, despite his conviction for numerous violent and financial crimes, he turned over a new leaf in prison, and presents himself to the public as a fully reformed citizen; in reality, he's acting purely in his own interests as a behind-the-scenes crime lord. While he was at least occasionally willing to give Batman information when it suited him, his lack of respect for the Knights makes him even less inclined towards doing good.

* CoolOldGuy: Alfred is reliable and trustworthy even in his advanced age.

* OldSoldier: He was a sergeant in the army. As he notes to Jason, while he came to Gotham after tiring of war, in the end he only switched one war for another. Until [[spoiler: the Bat Family let her in on the secret]] Renee Montoya was half convinced that Alfred was Batman and he'd only now retired.

* OldSoldier: He was a sergeant in the army. As he notes to Jason, while he came to Gotham after tiring of war, in the end he only switched one war for another.

* SpotOfTea: Insists that a cup of tea never hurt anyone, and offers it to the Knights when he feels they need it.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example, as she clearly does have some muscle tone, but she's still a good deal too slender for the feats she can pull off.

** Bruce tried to replicate his relationship with Dick over again with street-kid Jason and made some progress before tragedy (and the Joker) struck. While this drove a wedge between them even after Jason's resurrection it was still Brice who managed to reach him past the scrambling the Lazarus Pit put his brain through and get Red Hood to drop his JudgeJuryAndExecutioner approach.

** Barbara's father was alive through most of her life and was a strong presence in her life but, while not as close to him as Dick, she still modelled her superheroic identity on Batman and looked to him for guidance. Tellingly she never told Jim Gordon she was Batgirl but was comfortable with Brice knowing.

** Barbara's father was alive through most of her life and was a string presence in her life but, while not as close to him as Dick, she still modelled her superheroic identity on Batman and looked to him for guidance. Tellingly she never told Jim Gordon she was Batgirl but was comfortable with Brice knowing.

** Dick Grayson he took in as a young teen after his parents died and raised to adulthood. In his log entries Brice directly refers to Dick as his son.

* ParentalSubstitute: Despite Tim's actual dad being alive, Bruce was Tim's father figure, with Tim deeply regretting not having told Bruce some things before he died while his actual dad barely remembers he exists. Bruce wanted to become Tim's actual parent, having discussed adopting Tim with Dick, but died before he could go through with it.

In his youth, Jason was a StreetUrchin living in Gotham. He attempted to boost the wheels of the Batmobile but was caught by the Batman. Rather than discipline him, Bruce adopted the boy and anointed him as the second Robin. Jason was murdered by the Joker at the age of sixteen and revived in the Lazarus Pit two years later. Jason now goes by a alias originally belonging to the Joker - the Red Hood.

* DoesNotLikeGuns: He was apprentice about Jason's non-lethal gun proposal, but also admitted that the prototypes were promising.

Following the death of the second Robin, Harley left the Joker and went straightish, [[ComicBook/SuicideSquad even working for some government program]], but returns to her supervillainy following the death of Batman.

One of Batman's greatest enemies, Ra's al Ghul has lived for centuries, using mysterious mineral baths known as Lazarus Pits to prolong his life. Believing modern civilization to be corrupt and decadent, Ra's committed numerous terrorist acts with the goal of purging 90% of the population and starting anew. This made him an enemy of the [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]], but Ra's saw in Batman [[LikeASonToMe the son he always wanted]] and a potential heir to his legacy as the Lazarus Pits became less effective. When Batman proved incorruptible, Ra's vowed to destroy him. The two eventually had a final battle in the Batcave, where both seem to have perished.

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Ra's has two blades that he grips like knuckledusters, useing them to remove Batman's utility belt.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Zigzagged. On one hand, we see that if Ra's took off the kid gloves and seriously set out to ''destroy'' Batman, he'd be a scarier opponent than [[Characters/BatmanBane Bane]] and ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} put together. On the other hand, by this point he had devolved into an impulsive madman with a string of reckless decisions that alienated his daughter and many of his troops; a far cry from the focused mastermind he was in his prime.

* OldMoney: The Cobblepots are one of the founding five families of Gotham. [[spoiler:It is later revealed that his aunt, Constance, is a senior member of the Court of Owls.]]
