At one point in The Killing Joke, Jason Todd is hinted by Joker to Batman that he is stuck in an unknown building. Batman is distracted by Joker and Deathstroke's thugs selling weaponry to Arkham Island, leading into a climatic fight with Batman and Deathstroke. Being too busy, Batman arrives late after finding out where Robin is trapped and the building burns.

After a huge battle in the Central Gotham highway, Batman learns that Red Hood is Jason Todd!! He learns the story behind Jason; after Jason was burned, Joker took his body into a secret hideout, taking out the burns and guts in Jason's dead body and gives him slight strength and robotic arm and a red suit with a cape, controlling Jason, making him not know about anything that happened, but to kill Batman. After Joker dies, Red Hood escapes Gotham City and 6 years after Bruce Wayne retires as Batman, Jason sneaks into Arkham Asylum to talk to Jonathan Crane, a psychotic officer who kills the inmates with fear gas, releasing their fears. Red Hood creates a new suit and dons himself the Arkham Knight to work with a gallery of villains to destroy Gotham and turn it into it's extinction.

Batman finds out it is Jason Todd, getting flashbacks and memories of Jason being Robin and him killing innocents as Red Hood.
