Right so Jason like suuuper slumps in Arkham Knight right? Okay, now, run with me here cuz I have TWO theories as to why that's the case

THEORY ONE: y'know how like, he was tortured. By the joker. For a year. And as far as we know he seems to have been confined to a chair via barbed wire bindings for a good chunk of it? Yeah that probably really fucked up his posture

THEORY TWO, FAR MORE PLAUSIBLE: this boy is SO gay he can't even get his BACK to be straight

GODDDDD I JUST HAD A THOUGHT

Arkham Knight AU were everything is the same except The Arkham Knight isn't Jason

It's Stephanie

Because unlike Jason Stephanie was actually left to die by Bruce

The line "How long did you wait before replacing me? A month? A week?! I trusted you! And you left me to die!" is so much more tragic coming from Steph because unlike Jason it's true

Bruce didn't want to replace Jason Tim just kinda forced himself into Bruce's life whereas he only made Steph Robin to piss off Tim and didn't even bother saving her from Black Mask and didn't even respect her enough to take off his mask as she died

Her being The Arkham Knight would fit so well

favourite bruce wayne skin is "suit on without the cowl" because it either has so much meaning (e.g telltale or arkham series), he's just being a fucking dumbass and harassing his family members, or he's just had one of the roughest fights of modern age and he's stumbling back into the batcave to utter the words "you should see the other guy"

Thinking about the missed potential in Arkham Knight with the Joker stuff. Like the main antagonist is this guy who was tortured by the Joker for years, and is completely traumatised by him even long after his death. Then over here we have his Dad, who is literally becoming the Joker. Not once did Joker take control of Batman, while he was with Jason.

Imagine if there was a scene where Batman started acting like the Joker, mannerisms and all, while he was fighting Jason, or fighting somebody with Jason watching. Imagine seeing this guy you have a love-hate relationship with, but ultimately he’s still your father, but while you are trying to avenge yourself and secretly wanting to reconcile with him, he starts becoming the man who tortured you. Maybe he would be one of the few characters to notice Batman acting weird, and he would recognise the body language as the Joker’s, leading to emotional drama…

But alas, this never happened because it seems the Arkham Knight/Scarecrow stuff is completely separated from the Joker blood stuff, which is unfortunate.

arkham knight and maybe 2004 killer croc dating headcanons with a male reader?

you know what i got a real weakness for male readers so we're actually gonna deviate from my normal "all readers are gender neutral" thing for this one. AND THIS ONE ONLY. also pal i'm gonna do ak!croc for this one cause i know him the bestest

arkhamverse!killer croc w/male!reader

you almost don't even really compute to him at first

listen, by this point, waylon has sort of accepted that people are bad fucking news. every interaction he's had with them has sucked complete ass, and also almost gotten him killed. fuck humans

oh, and humans suck but men especially suck, given that they've largely been the ones hunting him down for his entire life.

so then you come along, and you throw him for a MASSIVE loop.

you talk to him like he's a person, not an animal. you're not afraid to be around him, and somehow not afraid to touch him, either.

you're not disgusted by how his skin looks or feels, and you're not afraid of those gigantic teeth, either.

he keeps waiting for you to be like "LMAO GOT YOU" and spring the trap, but it never happens, and that baffles him.

he's kinda gruff with you at the start because he doesn't trust you. once he relaxes into it, he's sort of hyperaware of your actions- this has been nice and all, but are you going to try to kill him now?

and then once he finally settles, you're the only human he likes or wants to be around.

he will likely try to convince you to live in the sewers.

he's pretty skeptical of other people, but he will let you vouch for some of them. he will be slightly less "i will fucking eat you" with the people you like just because you like them

he is really a gigantic guard dog on your leash. big scary dog privileges but its with a gigantic man-crocodile who eats people

(AND VERY TOUCHY)

Gonna be honest

Arkhamverse Joker is probably the most evil Joker ever

TW for a lot of fucked up shit

I'm sure I missed a few so if I did please let me know

He blew up multiple school buses and schools filled with kindergarteners and then sewed them back together and made their parents try to figure out who is their kids

He manipulated a father and his terminally ill 5 year old daughter made her an experiment for the Titan formula which killed her and then convinced her dad to kill himself with laughing gas pills

Tortured Jason Todd for over a year in Arkham Asylum, convinced him that Bruce abandoned him, permanently branded him, fucked up his posture by having him strapped to a wheel chair with barbed wire, had him beaten by other Batman villains, had other inmates dress up like Batman and had them beat him hell it's implied that Jason was even sexually assaulted by these inmates and remember this happened when Jason was a teenager then he proceeded to continue to lie to and manipulate Jason after the events of Arkham Asylum

Donated hydrochloric holy water to the Gotham church which resulted in the painful deaths of multiple babies

Tortured Jason and crippled Barbara to get them out of the way of him and Batman's rivalry as he thought they were ruining his game

Threatened to donate his poisoned blood to every hospital in Gotham if Bruce didn't find a cure and even poisoned Bruce with his blood only to make things worse which affected Bruce even worse in the long run

Poisoned four other innocent people with his blood

Drove his secretary mad when he was disguised as Black Mask

Kidnapped and tortured Black Mask

Killed The Executioner for questioning orders

Tried to kill Bane twice first by shooting him as he was leaving and second when he forced Bruce to kill Bane or he was gonna electrocute himself and Gordon to death

Murdered his own goons just to piss off Bruce

Blew up an entire building full of people the second time him and Bruce met

Threatened to blow up things Bane cared about if Bane didn't do as he said

Manipulated and abused Harley

Killed Talia

Caused a massive riot at Arkham Asylum torturing many GCPD police officers and Arkham guards and keeping them hostage

Kidnapped Starro and used him to mind control helpless citizens in his amusement park

I just played and finished Gotham Knights for the first time

And I have a LOT of thoughts. I might go in depth on certain things in other posts, but I want to kinda go over my general thoughts and feelings about this game. Spoilers ahead for:

First things first, if you want this to be "Arkham: Gotham Knights", you are going to leave very disappointed. The game's reception was hurt pretty bad by comparisons it to the Arkham series. Arkham is a masterpiece. Gotham Knights is very good at what it wants to accomplish, but comparing it to Arkham feels unfair. I mean...I'm gonna do it anyways, but I'll compare them with the intention that the Arkham games and Gotham Knights set out to accomplish two different things

The Good:

•By far, the best aspect of this game is the scripted moments between the Batfamily. This game features Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Red Hood (Jason Todd), Robin (Tim Drake), and Alfred. It's very clear this is the aspect the developers put the most focus into and it really pays off. It gives me the same feeling as reading "Batman: Wayne Family Adventures". If you just want to see the Batfamily interact and support each other, you're gonna love this game

•While it took me a while to get used to, I really fell in love with the art direction of this game. The skyline of Gotham City is gorgeous. I love the way the bright neon signs illuminate the low hanging fog giving everything a sort of colorful haze. And while I don't love every suit design, I think the customization let's me really like most of them. Batman especially looks really great in this game. His suit in this game is inspired by his look in the Rebirth comics and it translates beautiful

The Bad:

• I'm genuinely confused by the characterization of Mr. Freeze in this game. His motivations are all over the place to the point that I wonder if WB Montréal decided to combine Victor and Nora Fries into one character. At the beginning of the Mr. Freeze side mission, it's explained that Mr. Freeze had given up crime because Batman had promised to help develop a cure for his condition, but now that Batman is gone, he's back at it. Victor doesn't normally care about his own illness, he just wants a cure for Nora. But Nora is never mentioned in this game. Even weirder, nothing he does in the story is ever to cure his condition. SO WHY DID HE STOP CRIME IN THE FIRST PLACE IF HE DOESN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT FINDING A CURE AND HE JUST WANTS TO FREEZE GOTHAM!? It's just a weird creative decision to take

•Yeah so this one isn't a big deal, but at one point in the story, a cat sneaks into The Belfry and the Batfamily just kind of adopt it. It stays there for the rest of the game. You can't pet the cat. I know this isn't important, but it actually made me genuinely sad when I found this out

The Ugly:

•To call this game underdeveloped would be a compliment. I wouldn't call it unpolished, because the game runs perfectly as intended in my experience. I didn't encounter a single bug or crash. But the story and the gameplay feel half-baked, which really sucks considering those are the two main aspects of a video game

•In the gameplay department, combat is passable but the skill ceiling is REALLY low. It reallys very restrictive in what you're actually able to do, but the combat by itself isn't so bad that it isn't fun.

Traversal on the other hand is awful. All the characters use a grapple to get around, but there's no momentum, so you feel like you're barely moving. You stop and lose all momentum between grapples. Arkham also has a grapple gun but it allowed you to string multiple grapple points and keep your momentum through them so they'd be more fluid and you keep your speed going

The Batcylce is also not great. It's REALLY slow and despite the added movement lines around the screen to provide the illusion of speed, you're barely moving faster than the cars on the road. Again, compare this to the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. I did not love the Batmobile in Arkham Knight, and I outright hated the Riddler races, but it was fast and you could really feel the speed in it

Finally you don't actually unlock the ability to glide or any of the other weird traversal abilities if you're playing as anyone other than Nightwing or Batgirl until you complete the Knighthood challenges. Locking an essential traversal ability behind an option set of challenges is weird to say the least. I don't have much to say about gliding, it controls fine but feels slow compared to Arkham

•Lastly, the story of this game isn't bad for what is is, but is disappointing when you realize it had the potential to be so much better by including two characters who are absent from this game: Kate Kane Batwoman and Damian Wayne Robin. The game is set up as a sort of gang war between the The League of Assassins lead by Talia Al Ghul and The Court of Owls lead by Jacob Kane. Both of their child are members of the batfamily, but were weirdly excluded from this game. Including them as playable characters could have made the conflict more personal and interesting.

Additionally, Catherine Kane, Kate Kane's step-mother, is the current anti-vigilante Commissioner of the GCPD. Her daughter being Batwoman would be great character drama that goes completely unexplored. As is, Catherine is a one dimensional, underdeveloped character. And Damian could be shown as torn between the recent death of his father and the re-emergence of his mother in Gotham City. These characters feel like obvious inclusions for the story of this game but are missing without any explanation

In Conclusion:

This game has a lot working against it. I couldn't even fit half of my thoughts into this already way too long rant. The game is just average in the gameplay, mediocre in the story, but absolutely phenomenal in the inter-character relationships. I compared it to Wayne Family Adventures earlier, and if you love stuff like that and want more of the Batfamily being supportive and wholesome to each other, you'll love this game. And I think that's genuinely the main appeal of Gotham Knights. But if you're not interested in the characters and just want a Batman action game, it's passable, but you'd be better off playing any of the Arkham games

I really like how Mad Hatter is portrayed in the Arkham games. Truly disturbing and deranged. I feel like he is the one that rattles Bruce the most in here.
