Astrid agrees with Batman and uses a flashbang to make her escape.

The Arkham Knight manages to bring the conflict to a standstill after throwing herself in front of stray bullets to save a female officer's life, and after a brief standoff between the opposing sides Batman decides to cease fighting with the knowledge that neither he or the Arkham Knight want any citizens being harmed in the crossfire. She survives the shooting due to her suit’s armor before the situation quickly escalates into a fight between her forces and the GCPD. With her foe weakened, the Arkham Knight raises her sword to execute him, but is suddenly shot with a barrage of bullets fired by nearby police. He attempts to draw the knights away from civilians nearby using a smokescreen, but the Arkham Knight emerges to knock the smoking projectile back at him before pinning Batman to the ground. During the assault, Batman realizes the knights all wield medieval weapons that can pierce through his armor and wear outfits that deflect his Batarangs. The Arkham Knight begins by poisoning Gotham City's bat population, which kills thousands of bats and seems to almost cost the life of She-Bat, before activating a powerful device that creates an miniature artificial sun in the night sky.īatman is then attacked at Gotham Zoo by an organisation of the Arkham Knight's followers called 'Knights of the Sun'. She proceeded to work hard for months to prepare for her assault against Batman, and plotted to bring about an event she called 'the eclipse' with the help of her followers.

One day, Astrid witnessed Batman fighting criminals on asylum grounds and she eventually came to believe Batman was a villain she needed to oppose as a way of dealing with her fear of him.Īs Astrid got older, she became more firm in her belief of Batman's villainy (something further enforced by the inmates) before learning that a Batarang was used to kill her mother, which pushed her enough to become the Arkham Knight. However, Astrid would always find ways to sneak into areas she was not supposed to go and interact with asylum inmates. She was raised within the asylum where her father could keep her close and walled off from the rest of Gotham. Astrid was born in Arkham Asylum, and her mother was killed by an unnamed prisoner with a Batarang during a riot.
