Batman: Gotham City Chronicles – Red Hood (New 52) is an expansion for Batman: Gotham City Chronicles released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Frédéric Henry and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Area Movement, and Dice Rolling.
Jason Todd was the second Robin, replacing Dick Grayson as Batman's accomplice. He was more free-spirited than Dick and less obedient. When Jason was killed by the Joker, Batman blamed himself for years, but that wasn’t the end of Jason’s story. He was mystically resurrected by a Lazarus pit and, though he came back stronger, he was even more erratic and less trustworthy than before. For a time, he adopted the disguise of the Red Hood, formerly worn by the Joker, to disassociate himself from the Bat-family. Eventually he realigned himself with Batman, even though he favored using firearms over Batman’s non-lethal force. This new profile sees Red Hood’s mobility increased, and even though minigunless – he’s still just as impressive with only his 2 handguns. He still unleashes murderous rain of bullets, and his training under Red Robin has ramped up his hacking skills. Red Hood (New 52) is only playable in Versus Mode. This figure expansion includes 1 Red Hood miniature, 1 Character Tile, 1 Lifepoint Token, and 1 Versus Power Card. —description from the publisher
