I Used My Batman Brand Detective Vision To Find This

[Seil]

Or I got bored after doin' my Biology test and screwed around on Youtube for a while. Either/or.

But I did find this:

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u59/Poetisch/BatmanArkham2.jpg

That's the list Harley had in Arkham Asylum, the people she was freeing? Did we ever fight Mr. Cobblepot? I don't think so. But then, with the Joker and the Harley fights, they just stood around while their thugs did all the work, so maybe The Penguin was excluded so he didn't have to embarass himself trying to fly somewhere out of range? Oh well.

Wait, he did have that umbrella... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfY760grSOU&feature=related#t=8m28s)

[Magus]

The Penguin will probably be in the sequel...

Danny Devito was a good Penguin, it's too bad the Nolanverse is too realistic for helicopter umbrellas or I'd like to see that in a movie again. Now, the shotgun or flamethrower umbrellas, on the other hand...

Anyway, in the game universe the Penguin could have like a bunch of different umbrellas for his multiple attacks, not only the ones already mentioned but I'm sure they'd come up with others, like an umbrella that shoots acid like in the cartoon.

[Seil]

I can read:

Selena Kyle? - Catowman
Harvey Dent - Twoface
Jervis Tetch - The Mad Hatter
Basil Karlo - Clayface
Waylon Jones - Killer Croc
Oswald C. Cobblepot - Penguin
Arnold Wesker? - The Ventriloquist
Luke Oliver

[Magus]

From what I can see on the internet no one knows who Luke Oliver is, let's have a guessing game.

[Melfice]

I've seen suggestions that it's some contest winner.

[Rejected Again]

Clearly the English "Football" Player.

[krogothwolf]

It could be an anagram for something?

[Token]

Why in the hell would Selina be in Arkham? O_o

[Melfice]

Why in the hell would Selina be in Arkham? O_o

If one of those older Batman films was anything to go by, she was as mad as any hatter.

[krogothwolf]

Why in the hell would Selina be in Arkham? O_o

She's a prostitute who is also dresses around as a Cat and steals cat things. How is that not crazy?

Oh wait, Post-Crisis removed her Prostitute past life. So she's just a girl who dresses as a Cat and steals cat things. Freakin CRAZY! Also she's fallen in love with a guy who runs around in a bat suit fighting crime.

meh. Not that Crazy. I mean, in comparison to say, Poison Ivy, or Harley.

[Magus]

According to a topic on the Gamespot boards, the people crossed off are people NOT in Arkham. There's some game-related official website where a doctor says that the Ventriloquist and Two-Face have been cured and the rest of the people crossed off there are normally in Blackgate penitentiary...

I'd presume that Blackgate penitentiary would maybe be in the game, though.

First off At the end of AA Two-face was robing a bank, and the Ventriloquist has been cured over and over and over again I really don't think it will stick

[Aerozord]

Of course thats assuming the Ventriloquist is actually insane

[Magus]

Really, with all the crazy stuff that goes on in Gotham, encountering a ventriloquist dummy that is possessed by the ghost of a mafioso would be quite likely.

[Doc ock rokc]

Of course thats assuming the Ventriloquist is actually insane

When Your dominate personality is a Puppet you're Insane.

[Magus]

Not if Scarface is actually pulling a Chucky.

[Nique]

He's not. But his backstory is hella spooky.

[Aerozord]

He's not. .


or is he?

they were never clear on it, which is why its so creepy. Scarier if it might be true. especially since if it is that makes him a very tormented man

There are some similarities.

There is the Thought it could be true but It could be In turn a Excuse used by the ventriloquists to Justify their submissive behavior.
plus The Wiki article doesn't say shit about possessed dolls

[Yumil]

Considering Peyton Riley has taken over the Ventriloquist gig. Her Scarface is basically the same as Arnold Wesker's. He's probably not insane.

There is a lot of mysticism in the Ventriloquist's back story, since the first Scarface dummy was made out of a gallows wood. It's good story telling to make you question if it's some sort of poltergeist or if he's just insane.

[Aerozord]

or both. No one said they had to be mutually exclusive

[Nique]

I think it is creepier that it is a question, but if I remember right there are stories where Batman matches scarface's voice to the ventriloquist via voiceprinting or something. Also, Batman, to me, seems to be more about exposing the truth in cases that might appear to be supernatural, or in fact taking advantage of superstition to further his cause. Like Sherlocke Holmes, he might be above believing in such things.

[Archbio]

Don't take Wesker's insanity away, it's all he has!

[Magus]

Guy can't even pronounce "b". Plus he's a villain called the Ventriloquist, that's gotta hurt everyday.

Yes batman is totally against the supernatural and the unexplainable despite the fact that He likes a girl that is technically animated marble; has fought alongside Dr.fate, A man that can create objects with his willpower alone, a Alien that can make newton cry, and mutants; Commonly fights against Gods, monsters, super scientists, Immortal environmental terrorists, Shape-shifting monsters, Ghosts, wizards and just recently Zombies BLACK LANTERNS.

He is TOTALLY above believing such things after facing them on a near weekly basis.

[Yumil]

Besides, he has two signature villains that showcase either side in the crazy vs supernatural deal.
Joker is his crazy arch-nemesis, while Ra's al Ghul is his supernatural arch-nemesis. The other villains are minor to those two vs Batman.

Edit: I know Ra's doesn't use magic, he's a Scientist, but dont tell me the Lazarus pits are not magical.

[Magus]

That or their "magic" is an as-yet unexplained scientific phenomenon.

^Batman answer

[Rejected Again]

Or maybe Ra's created them by arrangement for large amounts of toxic waste to be dumped there?

[Doc ock rokc]

That or their "magic" is an as-yet unexplained scientific phenomenon.

^Batman answer

But he fights alongside Wonder woman, Green lantern, the specter, dead man, and Dr.Fate.

[Marc v4.0]

Even magic is a scientific phenomenom, just mostly unexplained.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Not necessarily.

[Aerozord]

science or magic, whatever, point is he has seen, for a fact, stranger things then a haunted puppet. Besides even if he doesn't believe it, doesn't change the fact that in the setting it is well within the realm of possibility

[Nique]

Batman in the JLA =! Batman as a concept.

These characters didn't always cross paths so readily. Even in his JLA appearances, Batman rarely admits to believing in anything supernatural.

I mean, the DC universe is a mess. So yeah if you want Batman to team up with the Ghostbusters to fight Dracula with shotguns it's not outside the realm of possibility in the DCU, but that's an entirely different discussion. At some point you have to look at these characters as independent entities or concepts.

Is the Spectre going to fight ghosts? Likely, his whole backstory is largely spiritualistic. Is Batman going to fight ghosts? As the inspiration for the character can be taken from other characters along the lines of Sherlock Holmes, and that his goal seems to be aligned with the idea of using false ideas about the supernatural in order to frighten his enemies, I'd guess no.

[Aerozord]

While darker and grittier, I always thought Arkarm Asylum was in DCAU, I mean it has the same voice actors

[Doc ock rokc]

While darker and grittier, I always thought Arkarm Asylum was in DCAU, I mean it has the same voice actors

if you read through the Bios you would see that it's Heavily stooped with the DCCU (especially Clay face)
I think that it's a kinda fusion between the two.

[Nique]

I thought somehwere in one of the special feature videos they mentioned it was based on the comic book continuity, obviously sometime after Barbara Gordon takes on the role of Oracle but before Bruce Wayne "died". The many character bios reference the comic books for backstory and first appearences.

Even though the great voices from the DCAU are used for Batman, Harley Quinn and The Joker, I'm pretty sure they aren't using any major points from those shows in this game or it's potential sequels. For instance; Harley Quinn first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series and was later adopted by the comic book continuity. In the game under her character bio, it lists her first appearence in the comic sometime in 98' or 99' instead of her arrival in the show.

BTW did anyone know that there are like, 4 or 5 Clayface's? What's that all about?

[Magus]

They all have some different shapeshifting abilities and backstory and thingamabobs that make them totally "unique" and yet still confusing. Personally I'm surprised they went with the Basil Karlo one, I'm pretty sure one of the others had a very sympathetic and interesting back story (Preston Payne? Whichever one was in The Animated Series).

There are also two Clock Kings and three Firebugs and like five Tally Mans...

[Doc ock rokc]

BTW did anyone know that there are like, 4 or 5 Clayface's? What's that all about?

Well the first one was a No Powered actor (at-least till now where he stole the majoritys powers) the second one required a Chemical bath to shape-shift and was obsessed with art. the third was a Dude that Melted people that he touched. fourth one was a chick that had permanent shape-shifting. the fifth is the child of the 4th and 3rd. 6th was a Monster with no memory and the 7th was a guy that just wanted to be cured and was manipulated to try to get Alfred arrested in which he myrtles himself and clears Alfred name
the 5th was called claything and could melt anything he looked at...So i don't really consider him a clay face.

[Aerozord]

what about the 7th?

and what the heck is "permanent shape-shifting"

[Doc ock rokc]

what about the 7th?

and what the heck is "permanent shape-shifting"

well up till then all the others ether couldn't shapeshift or had it for only 5 hours to 48 hours. She had shapeshifting that didn't stop
and I messed up in the numbering.
