I think I get it now, one’s got the other’s memories imprinted in their brain, both have daughters named Zoe which is how the copy believes they’re the real Deadshot. This sounds like a Waller experiment

@@Brandon_Y. they backtracked and said that shit wasn't canon to arkham verse now🤷♂️ i kinda prefer it that way i like the movie but not it being part of arkham verse
"As a result of the Earth-2 Deadshot continuing to work as a mercenary under the name Deadshot, it brought a lot of heat down on the original Floyd." It still doesn't make any damn sense. How did Batman or literally anyone in the old games acknowledge in that time that "hey wasn't Deadshot black? What's this white dude doing now" even with similar names you gotta be blind to not notice they're different people. This is a lazy retcon that just makes Batman and the others look stupid
So in the end they couldn’t even commit to the retcon or multiverse BS. Like you said, the fact that Batman didn’t notice 2 deadshots is stupid. ( especially after their duel. The bullet holes left from the battle would’ve been a dead giveaway) the multiverse excuse is another example of lazy writing. The fact that a guy had to come from an entirely different reality to justify the black deadshot retcon…the multiverse concept needs to be shelved for at least 5 years cause this is dumb
To me the biggest gap is how it complicates the timeline, by the time of Arkham Knight both Boomerang and Shark are already dead Not to mention Harley had already met Waller more than one occasion by that point but somehow with this game it never happens I see the game as either an elseworlds story or a seperate timeline of its own, but never and I mean never will I consider it as a part of the true Arkham timeline, not just because I dislike the game but that it logically makes no sense within the series and complicates all that the true rocksteady had pre established
@@railie6081 exactly. At least then he would have a connection to Superman instead of the weird/forced rivalry with Green Lantern. Plus it would be a nice way to highlight a Superman villain who doesn’t get a lot of shine.
This is what happens when you make Deadshot black in your game and then halfway through someone reminds you that Deadshot was white in the last two games, so now you have to come up with excuses as to why Deadshot is black this time around. Never mind the extra canonical details from Assault on Arkham or tie-in comics which killed King Shark and Captain Boomerang. Or were there two them too.
@@Raiden22YT comics are also too contradictory like arkham knight Genesis showing us the Asylum being destroyed in an explosion. But in arkham knight it's where batman was unmasked. Bane was killed by Jason in the comics but in arkham knight he moved back to Santa Prisca.
I am certain that the other Deadshots were from different universes since the multiverse is a major part of this game and main focus for the DLC. The same with the Justice League. That’s why the evil Flash clearly still has a thumb after there was so much focus on Boomerang cutting off his thumb and trying to cut off other thumbs. There were even several closeups of the Flash’s hand and his fingers spread apart.

So the “fake” Deadshot has been around since Arkham origins and the “real” Deadshot finally killed him? Yeah… that seems like horseshit. That would mean the “fake” Deadshot would have been around for at least 20 years… this is some of the laziest retconning I’ve ever seen lol. I mean if you wanted to do the multiverse thing you’ve just made this Deadshot from an alternate universe.
Deadshot thinks he kills deadshot number 2. For all we know Deadshot 2 could still be alive. Lex Luther seems to imply that he has met this other Deadshot.
@@jgstudios117 i dont take anythign this game as canon i mena teh founders and most of teh telent left in teh middle of development plys teh writign was from sweet baby inc.
Alright horrible writing aside i guess theres gonna be a future plot point showing us who the real deadshot is and its probably old one from the arkham games and maybe the new one somehow got transported into this universe although it would not explain how both deadshots have the same families in the same universe

There's defenitly problems with this verison of Deadshot, but honestly i dont see the probelm with him dealing with Multiverse doppelgangers (or hell, possibly BEING one).

I think he may have had theories, but I don't think he believed interdimensional travel was even possible since it's never happened in his universe before. So he probably chalked it up to coincidence. However, if he survived long enough in this universe, he would've come to that conclusion quickly.
Because there was only one deadshot on his earth during the events of asylum/city/origins/knight. The multiverse only started to screw up in the gap between knight and suicide squad. That's when Brainiac starting taking alternate worlds.
Arkhamverse Deadshot retired when Zoe was born, and she's apparently a teen when this game takes place, so he's been out of the picture since before Batman was even in the picture. So he would have only known one Deadshot, and considering Arkhamverse Deadshot was able to live in peace without being recognized, he probably kept his face hidden. Earth 2 Deadshot was also Floyd, so if anyone did know his name, they probably didn't know his face, meaning any records of Floyd Lawton doing assassinations would probably have been attributed to the Floyd Lawton currently active as an assassin named Deadshot whose face was known, even by Batman, simply because 'multiversal doppleganger' probably wouldn't be the go-to answer for him even if he did find out the Deadshot doing those earlier assassinations was black.
Why would he? Until after Arkham Knight, there was only one Deadshot active at any given time. And since the original wore a mask and gloves his whole career, and the second one had the exact same name, skills and M.O. (due to being another Deadshot from Earth-2 it seems - Lex was clearly lying) Batman had no reason to suspect there were two Deadshots. He's the world's greatest detective but he isn't an omniscient god.
Guessing something is interfering with his life. Give it to gman refrence from half life. Or the fact Batman hasn’t seen the difference enough. Waller must of been unaware until brainiac came along. That explains why she was unaware of the situation he had.

Ngl, I prefer a black deadshot over a white deadshot. I'm not saying that because of wokeness, equality, and racial inclusion, not even because I myself am mixed with black. Deadshot being black is like Batman being white or black panther being black. I just feel like it is naturally better for the character to be black than white.
I think both is fine within other continuities and other worlds, but since this is the Arkham universe, it would be nice if continuity wasn't obstructed the way it was in this game. I personally prefer a white Deadshot mainly because that's where the character's roots are from. And that's where Deadshot's roots in the Arkhamverse was from

He also had mid boss fights (seriously, world's greatest marksman and the best they could do was sneaking to a vent when his back's turned?) and no mention of his daughter outside a non-canon movie. I don't anyone who's upset over this retcon really cares about the character of Whiteshot, they're just mad about retcons in general.
@@selinawalsh9075did you play origins? Yes deadshots boss fight in city sucked (however his side mission was amazing) but the origins bossfight was perfect
@@Isaacisaperson4677 Eeeeeh, it was kinda just a normal Predator section with a beefed up enemy. Fun, but definitely the weakest of Origins' otherwise amazing boss fights.
So, Deadshot we saw in Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman: Assault on Arkham and Batman: Arkham City is actually Floyd Lawton from Earth-2, whose biography, DNA and fingerprints match those of Deadshot from Earth-1 (Arkhamverse), and unlike Floyd Lawton, who We've seen all these years, the REAL ONE is black, and he killed his Earth-2 doppelganger, thereby regaining his identity and reputation back. Well, that's quite a logical explanation for why Deadshot was made black. The only thing I don't understand, however, is why King Shark is alive if he was killed in Batman: Assault on Arkham, and why does his appearance in the game differ from his appearance in Batman: Assault on Arkham? Is one of them also in another Earth?

I'm one for headcanon, especially with the Arkhamverse, so I try to tie all of the little continuity breaks into a nice little package. My personal, not-at-all-canon, fan theory is this: King Shark from AoA was a regular guy who heard stories/myths about the real King Shark and became obsessed with him. He experimented on himself with Shark DNA and who knows what else to become who he is in AoA. He was so obsessed with the legend of the real Shark that he took his real and code names (Nanaue and King Shark) as his own. The KTJL King Shark is the true one from the stories/myths Again, that's just my little headcanon that makes sense to me 😂

So Multiverse is in Arkhamverse too. This is explains how Boomerang and king shark still alive and our original deadshots absence. Maybe they can travel back and make stop Batman surrender to Scarecrow and make Joker drink his vacsine

I thought they were going with a multiverse explanation until he started talking to his daughter and i was like are you serious they actually followed through on the this is the real dead shot. Just say floyde trained a new guy. Now the reason they did this is probably because of the 2021 film and the 2016 film and they were worried people would be confused even though deadshot has been all sorts of colors.
@@Sundarran the problem is its also quick to point out that not only was dead shots daughter im ssktjl but also that fake floyde appeared before braniac. But to be fair i wrote this hefore seeing the last tape which was mainly to dispute it. Tbf they may bring time travel into it and i say this because i garentee the league will be revived. Regardless it still makes no sense
@@somedorkydude6483 It's entirely possible Earth-3 Floyd crossed over without his own knowledge. People do that in the comics all the time. He walked or fell through a rift in space, or he was hired to kill someone working on an interdimensional transporter. If Earth-3 was similar enough to Earth-1, he probably didn't even notice he'd been sent somewhere else and just resumed his work.

@@cjacks9743 Actually Luthor-2 says his Deadshot was killed during Brainiac's invasions of Earth-2 in one of his audio logs with our Deadshot. The other Deadshot is from an as-of-yet unvisited Earth-3.
All this effort just to make the character black lol. It’s just like when they did that convoluted shit to explain why there’s a white Wally West and a black Wally West.
He is in fact the true and original Floyd Lawton of the Arkham universe. The explanation provided for the simultaneous existence of two different Deadshots is that the Deadshot that had been established in the previous Arkham games was the Deadshot from Earth-2, the same Earth that the Lex Luthor the Squad encountered once they travelled to Earth-2 and brought back to their Earth is from. The Deadshot of the main Arkhamverse had retired the Deadshot moniker after his daughter Zoe was born. As a result of the Earth-2 Deadshot continuing to work as a mercenary under the name Deadshot, which by technicality belongs to both of them, it brought a lot of heat down on the original Floyd. To clear his name from what he at the time thought to be just an impostor, as well as to keep his daughter safe from the consequences of the actions of the Earth-2 Deadshot, he took up the role of Deadshot again and after months, he eventually tracked down the other Deadshot. The Arkhamverse Deadshot and the Earth-2 Deadshot engaged in a massive shootout which resulted in quite a few civilian casualties.

Why did they have to introduce the multiverse confusion to the Arkham-verse?! It would be a lot simpler to say, this is the new and improved Deadshot. A mantle taken by someone else worthy. Like Batman’s sidekick Robin’s mantle.
Interesting but crazy explanation at the same time I prefer kill the justice league deadshot anyway 100% only cause I dont know the other one (never played the arkham games) didn't know they'll do 2 deadshots

Most random yet forced & dumb storyline ever….what was the reason behind any of this Why couldnt they have simply went with the Deadshot from City & Origins……..
Because he sucks. Plus this is a clever way to subtly indicate that something has gone with the multiverse right from the very first scene of the game.

Ok so which one was the Arkahmverse Deadshot? If it’s this one fine but why didn’t he show himself in the 15 years before THIS game? Ok he killed him before this game but that’s still over 10 years.

so where's the hispanic deadshot from the Assault on Arkham?
@@Brandon_Y. they backtracked and said that shit wasn't canon to arkham verse now🤷♂️ i kinda prefer it that way i like the movie but not it being part of arkham verse
"As a result of the Earth-2 Deadshot continuing to work as a mercenary under the name Deadshot, it brought a lot of heat down on the original Floyd." It still doesn't make any damn sense. How did Batman or literally anyone in the old games acknowledge in that time that "hey wasn't Deadshot black? What's this white dude doing now" even with similar names you gotta be blind to not notice they're different people. This is a lazy retcon that just makes Batman and the others look stupid
@@supercard9418 assault on Arkham was also Hispanic or Italian
@@supercard9418 well black dead shot always wore a mask to hide his face and the white dead shot left his mouth exposed so u could tell he was white
this must be the gap where it doesnt connect with the Arkham verse fully... cause Arkham Batman wouldve noticed 2 deadshots to begin with.
So in the end they couldn’t even commit to the retcon or multiverse BS. Like you said, the fact that Batman didn’t notice 2 deadshots is stupid. ( especially after their duel. The bullet holes left from the battle would’ve been a dead giveaway) the multiverse excuse is another example of lazy writing. The fact that a guy had to come from an entirely different reality to justify the black deadshot retcon…the multiverse concept needs to be shelved for at least 5 years cause this is dumb
@@shadowprotector99should’ve of just used bloodsport.
To me the biggest gap is how it complicates the timeline, by the time of Arkham Knight both Boomerang and Shark are already dead
Not to mention Harley had already met Waller more than one occasion by that point but somehow with this game it never happens
I see the game as either an elseworlds story or a seperate timeline of its own, but never and I mean never will I consider it as a part of the true Arkham timeline, not just because I dislike the game but that it logically makes no sense within the series and complicates all that the true rocksteady had pre established
@@railie6081 exactly. At least then he would have a connection to Superman instead of the weird/forced rivalry with Green Lantern. Plus it would be a nice way to highlight a Superman villain who doesn’t get a lot of shine.
@@shadowprotector99 the multiverse thing has been overused alot
This is what happens when you make Deadshot black in your game and then halfway through someone reminds you that Deadshot was white in the last two games, so now you have to come up with excuses as to why Deadshot is black this time around. Never mind the extra canonical details from Assault on Arkham or tie-in comics which killed King Shark and Captain Boomerang. Or were there two them too.
Well Assault on Arkham isn’t canon, idk about the tie in comics
@@Raiden22YTthe comic aren't canon eather
@@Raiden22YTsource?
Don’t forget, the original Deadshot also kills Amanda Waller in Assault on Arkham.
@@Raiden22YT comics are also too contradictory like arkham knight Genesis showing us the Asylum being destroyed in an explosion. But in arkham knight it's where batman was unmasked.
Bane was killed by Jason in the comics but in arkham knight he moved back to Santa Prisca.
I am certain that the other Deadshots were from different universes since the multiverse is a major part of this game and main focus for the DLC.
The same with the Justice League. That’s why the evil Flash clearly still has a thumb after there was so much focus on Boomerang cutting off his thumb and trying to cut off other thumbs. There were even several closeups of the Flash’s hand and his fingers spread apart.
I noticed this too but it could also be a mistake in the game. It wouldn't surprise me in this game

So the “fake” Deadshot has been around since Arkham origins and the “real” Deadshot finally killed him? Yeah… that seems like horseshit. That would mean the “fake” Deadshot would have been around for at least 20 years… this is some of the laziest retconning I’ve ever seen lol. I mean if you wanted to do the multiverse thing you’ve just made this Deadshot from an alternate universe.
Deadshot thinks he kills deadshot number 2. For all we know Deadshot 2 could still be alive. Lex Luther seems to imply that he has met this other Deadshot.
they confirmed that the old deadshot was from an alternate universe
@@jgstudios117 i dont take anythign this game as canon i mena teh founders and most of teh telent left in teh middle of development plys teh writign was from sweet baby inc.
They're both the real deadshot. Just from alternate worlds.
Isn't that what's implied?
Alright horrible writing aside i guess theres gonna be a future plot point showing us who the real deadshot is and its probably old one from the arkham games and maybe the new one somehow got transported into this universe although it would not explain how both deadshots have the same families in the same universe

This is all fine but how did Batman never figure this out?
I think he may have had theories, but I don't think he believed interdimensional travel was even possible since it's never happened in his universe before. So he probably chalked it up to coincidence. However, if he survived long enough in this universe, he would've come to that conclusion quickly.
Because there was only one deadshot on his earth during the events of asylum/city/origins/knight. The multiverse only started to screw up in the gap between knight and suicide squad. That's when Brainiac starting taking alternate worlds.
Arkhamverse Deadshot retired when Zoe was born, and she's apparently a teen when this game takes place, so he's been out of the picture since before Batman was even in the picture. So he would have only known one Deadshot, and considering Arkhamverse Deadshot was able to live in peace without being recognized, he probably kept his face hidden. Earth 2 Deadshot was also Floyd, so if anyone did know his name, they probably didn't know his face, meaning any records of Floyd Lawton doing assassinations would probably have been attributed to the Floyd Lawton currently active as an assassin named Deadshot whose face was known, even by Batman, simply because 'multiversal doppleganger' probably wouldn't be the go-to answer for him even if he did find out the Deadshot doing those earlier assassinations was black.
Why would he? Until after Arkham Knight, there was only one Deadshot active at any given time. And since the original wore a mask and gloves his whole career, and the second one had the exact same name, skills and M.O. (due to being another Deadshot from Earth-2 it seems - Lex was clearly lying) Batman had no reason to suspect there were two Deadshots. He's the world's greatest detective but he isn't an omniscient god.
Guessing something is interfering with his life. Give it to gman refrence from half life. Or the fact Batman hasn’t seen the difference enough. Waller must of been unaware until brainiac came along. That explains why she was unaware of the situation he had.
The Identity thief strikes again.
They wrote all this lore and dialogue to justify blackwashing a character lol
So did the new Zoe had a "Fool had it comin" moment with the OG Zoe as well lol? 😂

Ngl, I prefer a black deadshot over a white deadshot. I'm not saying that because of wokeness, equality, and racial inclusion, not even because I myself am mixed with black. Deadshot being black is like Batman being white or black panther being black. I just feel like it is naturally better for the character to be black than white.
I think both is fine within other continuities and other worlds, but since this is the Arkham universe, it would be nice if continuity wasn't obstructed the way it was in this game. I personally prefer a white Deadshot mainly because that's where the character's roots are from. And that's where Deadshot's roots in the Arkhamverse was from

The explanation provided for the simultaneous existence of two different Deadshots is that the Deadshot that had been established in the previous Arkham games was the Deadshot from Earth-2, the same Earth that the Lex Luthor the Squad encountered once they travelled to Earth-2 and brought back to their Earth is from. The Deadshot of the main Arkhamverse had retired the Deadshot moniker after his daughter Zoe was born. As a result of the Earth-2 Deadshot continuing to work as a mercenary under the name Deadshot, which by technicality belongs to both of them, it brought a lot of heat down on the original Floyd. To clear his name from what he at the time thought to be just an impostor, as well as to keep his daughter safe from the consequences of the actions of the Earth-2 Deadshot, he took up the role of Deadshot again and after months, he eventually tracked down the other Deadshot. The Arkhamverse Deadshot and the Earth-2 Deadshot engaged in a massive shootout which resulted in quite a few civilian casualties. After a long fight, eventually both Deadshots had a clear shot on the other, and both pulled the trigger. The Earth-2 Deadshot was able to graze the head of the Arkhamverse Deadshot, but was ultimately off by a couple millimeters. The Arkhamverse Deadshot was more successful on the other hand, or at least so he thought. Shortly after the fight had ended, Green Lantern had arrived to arrest the instigators of the firefight. When the Arkhamverse Floyd was confronted by Green Lantern, he had to explain that he was the actual Deadshot, but Lantern only cared about the damge he caused and the lives he took, and so he arrested him regardless. Curiously enough, it was never stated if the body of the Earth-2 Deadshot was ever found.
I don’t care about the deadshot change the old one looked like crap anyway
He also had mid boss fights (seriously, world's greatest marksman and the best they could do was sneaking to a vent when his back's turned?) and no mention of his daughter outside a non-canon movie. I don't anyone who's upset over this retcon really cares about the character of Whiteshot, they're just mad about retcons in general.
@@selinawalsh9075did you play origins? Yes deadshots boss fight in city sucked (however his side mission was amazing) but the origins bossfight was perfect
@@Isaacisaperson4677 Eeeeeh, it was kinda just a normal Predator section with a beefed up enemy. Fun, but definitely the weakest of Origins' otherwise amazing boss fights.
@@selinawalsh9075 no shiva was the weakest of origins bossfights her or croc
He looked very goofy in city
So, Deadshot we saw in Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman: Assault on Arkham and Batman: Arkham City is actually Floyd Lawton from Earth-2, whose biography, DNA and fingerprints match those of Deadshot from Earth-1 (Arkhamverse), and unlike Floyd Lawton, who We've seen all these years, the REAL ONE is black, and he killed his Earth-2 doppelganger, thereby regaining his identity and reputation back. Well, that's quite a logical explanation for why Deadshot was made black. The only thing I don't understand, however, is why King Shark is alive if he was killed in Batman: Assault on Arkham, and why does his appearance in the game differ from his appearance in Batman: Assault on Arkham? Is one of them also in another Earth?

I'm one for headcanon, especially with the Arkhamverse, so I try to tie all of the little continuity breaks into a nice little package. My personal, not-at-all-canon, fan theory is this:
King Shark from AoA was a regular guy who heard stories/myths about the real King Shark and became obsessed with him. He experimented on himself with Shark DNA and who knows what else to become who he is in AoA. He was so obsessed with the legend of the real Shark that he took his real and code names (Nanaue and King Shark) as his own. The KTJL King Shark is the true one from the stories/myths
Again, that's just my little headcanon that makes sense to me 😂
The Black one came from a Elseworld but somehow didn't noticed changing earths? Same with Shark cuz he should be dead
Guessing some sort of barrier that Batman would have not seen until in person. He was unaware.

While I’m glad they gave an explanation, this is just so lazy and honestly would’ve been okay if KTJL was its own canon.
It NEEDED TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!
So Multiverse is in Arkhamverse too. This is explains how Boomerang and king shark still alive and our original deadshots absence. Maybe they can travel back and make stop Batman surrender to Scarecrow and make Joker drink his vacsine
Well no. Time travel banned by Batman, plus green lanterns know to never interfere with timeline.
Dead shot had a timeline incident most likely, either magic or a tech device that affected him.

Now I want a game that revolves around this whole topic for some reason 😂
2 universes are merging?
Deadshot Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League: I AM Deadshot, asshole. That's MY name!
Me: No stranger, you are nothing but a cosplayer!
They could have explained it much easier if it was just a matter of recasting. Acknowledging that he’s a different Deadshot and trying to make it fit makes it too contrived

So I beat the game and for some reason Deadshot and Harley don't have their final tapes unlocked for me. Any idea why?
Same for me it says it unlock during chapter 6 and I completed it and still looked, did you found any fix?
I thought they were going with a multiverse explanation until he started talking to his daughter and i was like are you serious they actually followed through on the this is the real dead shot.
Just say floyde trained a new guy. Now the reason they did this is probably because of the 2021 film and the 2016 film and they were worried people would be confused even though deadshot has been all sorts of colors.
But the video shows they did go with the multiverse explanation
@@Sundarran the problem is its also quick to point out that not only was dead shots daughter im ssktjl but also that fake floyde appeared before braniac.
But to be fair i wrote this hefore seeing the last tape which was mainly to dispute it.
Tbf they may bring time travel into it and i say this because i garentee the league will be revived.
Regardless it still makes no sense
@@somedorkydude6483 It's entirely possible Earth-3 Floyd crossed over without his own knowledge. People do that in the comics all the time. He walked or fell through a rift in space, or he was hired to kill someone working on an interdimensional transporter.
If Earth-3 was similar enough to Earth-1, he probably didn't even notice he'd been sent somewhere else and just resumed his work.

@@cjacks9743 Actually Luthor-2 says his Deadshot was killed during Brainiac's invasions of Earth-2 in one of his audio logs with our Deadshot. The other Deadshot is from an as-of-yet unvisited Earth-3.
How did you get the latest audio?
All this effort just to make the character black lol. It’s just like when they did that convoluted shit to explain why there’s a white Wally West and a black Wally West.

Wait so the Arkhamverse Deadshot is dead now?
He had to die, knew too much. He was too much in the loop. Guess Batman didn’t realize there were 2 instead of one. Batman hadn’t known the link

Why did they have to introduce the multiverse confusion to the Arkham-verse?! It would be a lot simpler to say, this is the new and improved Deadshot. A mantle taken by someone else worthy. Like Batman’s sidekick Robin’s mantle.
Interesting but crazy explanation at the same time I prefer kill the justice league deadshot anyway 100% only cause I dont know the other one (never played the arkham games) didn't know they'll do 2 deadshots
How did you obtain them because I can’t find the last two and it’s very frustrating if you want my opinion
All this contrive nonsense added to the game and made up solely to justify making dead shot black because Will Smith
Couldn't they just use the recton button?

Most random yet forced & dumb storyline ever….what was the reason behind any of this
Why couldnt they have simply went with the Deadshot from City & Origins……..
Because he sucks. Plus this is a clever way to subtly indicate that something has gone with the multiverse right from the very first scene of the game.
We needed to play with multiverse somehow

Naaah I'm not buying this
Glad to hear and same. Fuck this shit
What a joke...
Ikr ?
Ok so which one was the Arkahmverse Deadshot? If it’s this one fine but why didn’t he show himself in the 15 years before THIS game? Ok he killed him before this game but that’s still over 10 years.
I think they explain that he was retired at that point and after all the Arkham antics he came out of retirement
The white one is our Arkham Deadshot and The Black one is thr alternate
