Can explain the Arkham Knight to me? Why was the game different?

AK was just basically the same as when he was red hood and trying to kill batman.

which would have gone fine as well, if the pubblished didn't start that campain of "AK is not red hood, but a new charather altogether"

Was Jason Todd the Arkham Knight in this version? Or does she become the "first"?

In the comics he's Red Hood. He's only Arkham Knight in the game, but that was the first use of the character.

For comics, that IS pretty amazing. Franklin Richards has been 12 for like 20 years now.

It's also a running gag that his age is rarely stated in the comics, during the Onslaught event (mid-90s) he was 5, and according to Tom

How bad do you have to be at parenting to not only let your child to come to Arkham with you, but also let them spend time with the Joker.

Just a guess, this is probably when he was doing the 'Good Behavior' thing right before he turned Harley and made his second escape.
