As such, and even though the game is unaware of its existence, it gets the performance benefits from the texture reuse.

He then went ahead and implemented a texture pool on top of D3D11. The modder has used the source for ReShade (to use the API hooking/interception). This most likely results to the stuttering issues that most PC gamers have been experiencing. Going into more details, modder ‘ SheriefFarouk‘ has discovered that the game’s streaming system keeps trying to create thousands of new textures instead of recycling them. However, it appears that a modder was able to fix these issues via D3D11 hooking. And, as we all know, the game suffers from some stuttering and framepacing issues. Since The Killing Joke scene was a non-interactive bit of storytelling rendered entirely via motion-capture performances, there's no "young Joker" code buried anywhere inside the game that our clever modder could use.Batman: Arkham Knight is a game using a heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 3. Since that young, Killing Joke version of Joker was already incorporated into the game, naturally it was only a matter of time before a crafty PC gamer - one Heitor Fraga, who goes by the handle "Tchi6" - came up with a mod that lets you play as this version of Joker. Batman: Arkham Knight even depicted this scene in its entirety, as part of a hallucinatory flashback. The Batman: Arkham video games incorporated a strikingly faithful version of The Killing Joke into their backstory, most prominently including the fateful scene between Joker and Barbara Gordon.

This dark, demented tale is considered by many to be the greatest Joker story of all time. Longtime Batman fans are familiar with The Killing Joke, the 1988 one-shot comic book by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland.
