Arkham Knight Batman

**Arkham Knight Batman** is a 3 star base Agility class, Legendary Hero.

## Description

Batman grants his teammates the ability to gain health and power by defeating an opponent. He boosts the defense and health of Tech and Agility teammates. He can interrupt Metahuman Specials.

## Acquisition

* Hero Chest: 0.192% chance
* Premium Hero Chest: 0.252% chance
* Ultimate Arkham Knight Batman Chest: 5% chance

The Platinum Chest has a 0.75% chance of yielding him.
He is also obtainable via various hero chests with a relatively small drop rate (e.g. 0.12% from Hero Chest, 0.46% from Vigilante Chest), but he can be found in almost any of them.

## Strategy

Use him as the damage character on your team as he does massive amounts of damage when equipped with a full set of gear. He also benefits your entire team with his passive.

Since he inherently gives all Agility and Tech class heroes (including himself) a massive defense buff, he can forgo almost any optional defense from his gear and talents and instead focus on offense.

When a Metahuman opponent uses a special on him while he has **Freeflow Counter** available, Arkham Knight Batman interrupts them, taking no damage, and summons a swarm of bats briefly that stuns them.

**Fear Multi-Takedown** benefits anyone on Arkham Knight Batman's team when they deal a KO blow. This applies even when Batman himself has been KO'ed.

Due to his gigantic Defense and Health buffs to Tech and Agility teammates (including himself), teams with him are often nigh-unkillable within the time limit to all but the most powerful and specialized teams.

## Interactions

### Good with

* **Sub-Zero**: Just like any teammate, his clones can heal and gain power from **Fear Multi-Takedown** if Arkham Knight Batman is on Sub-Zero's team. However, even if Sub-Zero creates an Agility or Tech clone, they do not seem to gain defense or health from **WayneTech**.
* John Stewart (Green Lantern) : John Stewart benefits Batman's second ability boosting the hazard damage done to enemies.

### Good against

* **Metahuman class heroes**: Due to Freeflow Counter.

### Countered by

* **Justice League Cyborg** and **Justice League Aquaman**: This classic duo is very effective against Arkham Knight Batman, due to the former's massive basic damage boost and the latter's armor-pierce on basics, for the whole Justice League team. Cyborg also gains power from Stun Bomb, even when blocked.
	+ **Mythic Wonder Woman** and **BvS Superman**: They benefit from the aforementioned effects, and have a special block ability that can block any of Arkham Knight Batman's attacks and reflect damage back (except supermove).
* **Sub-Zero**: Arkham Knight Batman's team **cannot** gain health and power KO'ing enemy Sub-Zero's clones. A Metahuman clone created by Sub-Zero will be affected by Freeflow Counter, however.

## Trivia

* He was the first Legendary character to be released.
* He is based on the version of Batman as portrayed in the video game, *Batman: Arkham Knight*. His name causes confusion among players and even the developers (as seen in the description for his Freeflow Counter passive). Unfamiliar with that game, they refer to him as "Arkham Knight". "Arkham Knight" is actually the antagonist of that game, who is revealed to be Jason Todd, better known as Red Hood in *Injustice 2*.
* His first passive shares the same name as the passive of Arkham Knight Batman on the first Injustice Mobile game, although the effects are completely different.
* Winged Avenger, his Special 3, shares the same name as Arkham Origins Batman's Special 2 in the first Injustice Mobile game.
* He used to have the highest minimum Attack (352) in the game. He also used to have the highest minimum Threat (7976), and minimum health (2200), prior to being surpassed by Darkseid.
* He was released with 1 passive and was later refactored to have 3, while his stats were massively buffed and his class changed from Tech to Agility.
* The animation of the Freeflow Counter is almost identical to Batman Ninja Batman's special 1, Bat Swarm, except that the former does not move.
* Upon his refactor, Fear Multi-Takedown allowed his team to gain power and health KOing summoned units (e.g. Sub-Zero clones). At some point (at or before 3.1) this was removed.
