Gotham Knights: Who is Jacob Kane?

Ermm… Jacob Kane?

Gotham Knights features some of the most recognizable faces in comic book history but some are not as familiar. With such a pivotal role in the game, who actually is Jacob Kane?

With his first appearance in 2009, Jacob Kane is a relative newcomer to the franchise, however, he quickly became established as part of the lore. He is the uncle of Bruce Wayne and his sister is Martha. His life has also been marred by tragedy with his wife and daughter being killed. Due to this, he uses his lifetime of military expertise to support his remaining daughter, Kate Kane to be able to defend herself. As her morals center around justice, he supports her in eventually becoming Batwoman!

Well, there you have it. Now that you are caught up on the comic book lore of Jacob Kane, dive back into Arkham Knights to see his story unfold in a new universe.
