    I like to call this “protocol 12” in which footage of Bruce Wayne suiting up as Batman from the beginning of the game is broadcast on every network in Gotham

    • @leithaziz2716
      @leithaziz2716 21 день тому +28

      I always found it Strange (heh) that Hugo threatens Bruce to reveal his identity if he tries to stop him, and then...he never does it despite Bruce obviously trying to stop him at several points. At least one scene where he taunts Batman about his leverage in the middle of the game could have been suspensful. The only time he boasts about it is against the Riddler.
      The only headcanon I can draw as to why he doesn't is that he worries the reveal might draw attention away from the convicts trying to escape Arkham City (something he setup to gain clearance to use Protocol 10). At the very least, he could have setup a failsafe incase he dies where he plays the footage of the interrogation.

    • @BatsBeyondStar
      @BatsBeyondStar 21 день тому +8

      another thing to add, at the beginning of the game Hugo says "Now that we have you, Protocol 10 is ready to commence." So that means that capturing Bruce Wayne was protocol 9.

      I think it’s because of Strange’s over confidence. Batman was busy dealing with the criminals, so Hugo didn’t see Batman as an active threat to his plan. By the time Batman directly confronted T.Y.G.E.R, Protocol 10 has already begun and has wiped out hundreds of prisoners. Hugo is confident that his men could kill Batman and even Batman finally got to him, Hugo still thought he won. Hugo thought himself untouchable, but no one is.
      It was only when Hugo was stabbed and bleeding out that Strange realized that he failed.

      ​@@comicfan1324 I literally had the same idea for an Arkham City ending rewrite. With his last breath, Hugo reveals Batman's identity as part of a Protocol 12 or maybe a double-failsafe Protocol 11 that also blows up the tower. I think that would've made him a more memorable villain that leaves a lasting impact on Batman even with his small screen time and made that thread actually go somewhere.

    "the plotline where hugo knows who batman is didn't go anywhere".
    No, it was literaly his entire character arc. Hugo strange wanted to become the new Batman. He has his own batman suit from the riddler tapes. He purposely DIDN'T reveal batmans identity so he could take over his mantle as the new batman. He constantly says "Gotham will thank Hugo Strange". He even at the start says "No one is untouchable" but then at Wonder Tower says "I am untouchable", implying he thinks himself to be the new Batman.

    • @themadtitan7603
      @themadtitan7603 19 днів тому +3

      I think one way it could've went somewhere while still not contradicting Hugo's goal to become Batman is if he still keep it as a failsafe that he activates as Protocol 12 while he lays dying, as that's when he knew he failed, so he might as well try to ruin Batman's life by exposing his identity.

    You know, just an idea, and this could apply to what actually happened during Knightfall protocol as well, Batman has to have had some identity. He could walk around the streets as right? The guy still needs to eat and he can’t exactly walk into your local grocery store in his Batsuit nor can he show up as Bruce Wayne.
    So what if during the time where he was MIA his civilian identity was Matches Malone (long time Batman fans will likely be familiar with this name.)

    • @themadtitan7603
      @themadtitan7603 19 днів тому +3

      I actually had several ideas into how to incorporate the Matches Malone persona into the Arkham Games. It would be a cool way to experience playing as Bruce that isn't Batman or just Bruce in his one-off mission or when in around the mansion imo. I'm imagining certain quests that start off or progress by us investigating some criminal hideout as Matches Malone then coming in later as Batman.

    one of the Joker hallucinations says something along the lines of "love new car, all those guns! It's like an evil clown was whispering in your ear as you drew up the design" meaning that batman was already infected by the time the ak batmobile was being designed, you could be charitable and assume he only means when he drew up the deign ofnthe guns themselves but i doubt it.

    Although I would prefer that Batman keeps the mantle of Batman, there is a different identity. Batman has had that I think could work:
    THE SHOOTING STAR.
    There’s a DC Elseworld comic which acts as a parody of Batman’s origin story in which, instead of a bat flying through Bruce’s window to inspire him to become Batman It shows what else he could’ve become. One of them was seeing a shooting star fly past his window so Batman, a white and gold costume and calls himself “The Shooting Star”.
    A modernized adaption of this could potentially have it so Batman uses a voice modulator to make him sound different when the mask is on and some of the less intelligent criminals probably wouldn’t make the connection that the big black bat is suddenly running around as a giant gold star themed vigilante. And even if some villains figure it out, they can’t prove it so that just adds to the mistake of this “new” superhero.

  • @comicfan1324
    @comicfan1324 21 день тому +6

    Batman’s probably gonna have to hack cobra tanks to make them work for him since he likely wouldn’t have the upgraded Batmobile in this timeline since Lucius would’ve presumed he was dead. And it’s heavily implied from one of the city stories ear as he drew up the designs
    Unless he was making the car for Robin, I guess
    But just for fun factor let’s say they at least had the prototype version of this Batmobile ready

    • @themadtitan7603
      @themadtitan7603 19 днів тому

    You know, maybe I’m being a bit too much of an optimist, but what if Batman got a presidential pardon for stopping a terrorist plot that would’ve poisoned the entire East Coast of America.
    So perhaps that could explain why Batman won’t be arrested as soon as he shows back up in the public conscience again as long as he “plays nice” (which actuality is the authorities admitting that they either don’t want to arrest Batman or no they can’t bring him in unless Batman wants to be brought in.)
    Maybe after seeing how well the batfamily handled themselves will trust that they will be safe, even if his identity is public. Although I believe Bruce would still be a recluse and the public would only see him when he’s in costume.

    If Dick didn't know Batman was still alive, Jason wouldn't know neither.
    Dick is the eldest child in the Bat family, there is no way Bruce wouldn't tell his first Robin about Knightfall Protocol if Jason knew too.
    The Joker infected would also probably heal themselves mentally... Because without Batman they cannot be Joker. We know that Joker's only motivation in life is Batman, without Batman there is no point for Joker.
    Jason would be Red Hood without exacting revenge on Batman. Most of what we have in Arkham Knight will not exist because of the events of your alternate Arkham City. It will likely be more akin to that lost Arkham Beyond game, where crime is more loose without Batman. Even if Robin, Nightwing, and Red Hood are still fighting crime, it won't be the same without Batman.

      Right. Even if Lucius thought Batman was dead, I agree that he'd still continue developing the R&P department to assist the Bat-Family with their war on crime. I don't think Batman would only appear at the end though, but maybe at the end of the first act, late second act; around when Barbara is kidnapped. Which here would eliminate the drama of Batman hiding the truth about her safety from Tim.

    I'm not sure the GCPD would still take the risk of working with Batman - at least, not publicly. It is one thing to dismiss and arrest warrant for Bruce Wayne, by lying about the fax machine malfunctioning (at the end of Arkham Knight), but it is another one entirely to overtly work with him after receiving a direct order to arrest him. At the very least, it would bring the whole Batman/GCPD dynamic back to square one : just like in Batman's earlier years, when a few police officers trusted and helped him in the shadows, while the rest of the force was trying to end his career.

    I feel like if this word to happen that the timeline would still stand. But in this version, the Arkham Knight would try to draw out Batman, forcing him to return and still use scarecrow turn the city in fear, toxin and rally not just the villains that we saw in Arkham Knight, but others as well. Want everybody to see Bruce Wayne afraid, even though that he has nothing to lose

    my immediate thoughts are that Azrael usurps the identity of Batman between City and Knight. once Knight kicks off, Bruce would return to Gotham and have to also deal with Azrael as a second, lethal Batman.
    on the Jokers, i think he'd quietly work out who it was, get them all in one place, and then get Robin and Oracle to start looking for a cure. Nightwing operates out of Bludhaven, and Tim and Barbara are far more capable detectives.

    What if joker never injected himself with titan in batman arkham asylum
    If joker was never sick & poisoned, who would this effect arkham city and knight? Would hugo strange still plan out protocol 10? Does talia live at the end of arkham city? Will clayface be in arkham city but with a different mission ( or would he still be fake joker? ). I think it would make for an interesting video. Would scarecrow even be the main villain in arkham knight? What happens with jason todd in arkham knight? Will he still be the arkham knight or will red hood be introduced early so he can fight joker?
    Think if joker not being sick would have major ramifications on arkham city & probably arkham knight too

    Here's a thing if batman did the nightfall protocol, wouldn't azrael become batman or become batman's successor because the arch wouldn't be complete, so there would be azrael executing his justice etc in gotham but then what of Thomas elliot and his plot, because if people are convinced bruce Wayne is dead then Thomas wouldn't be able to try to execute his plans etc. These are 2 things you didn't mention in this video, so I feel these where important in arkham city as they carried over into arkham knight as well, and would've happened in some variable way

  • @TheUnknown8924

    I think the Arkhamverse would’ve change a bit but not a lot I still think Arkham Knight would’ve stayed the same but Hugo Strange is one of my favorite atman villains ig would’ve been so interesting to see how the world would react to it despite nobody would or will believe him at the same time I do think it could bring a lot more interesting plot threads as with Gordon, GCPD, Jason Todd, Barbara, Dick, and other characters would impact them as well.

  • @CoolGuyJ84
    @CoolGuyJ84 23 дні тому

    Okay, couple of things;
    Firstly, I think Hugo Strange outing Bruce Wayne is Batman and everybody believing him premise is kinda flawed from the start.
    The onus will be on Strange to prove Bruce = Batman.
    And Bruce I'd imagine will do everything possible to prevent that; a really good example is the ending of the episode "The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne" from BTAS. Strange tried to out Wayne, but failed miserably because Bruce had Dick in disguise to look like him (while being present as Batman).
    Hence, unless Bruce literally gets unmasked by Strange like Scarecrow did to him in Knight (or caught in a video tape saying he's Batman) with no way to escape from it, I'd say it would be very difficult for Strange to prove it.
    Secondly, regarding impact on the Bat Family on Bruce's secret being found out, those thugs dialogue is interesting.
    Though thinking about it, it does raise the question in which how would Bruce Wayne a playboy billionaire who would be followed by the paparazzis with tons of public exposure manage to hide the adoptions/bringing in a ward?
    Not like Bruce can just keep the kid locked up and only let them out when they're being Robin (Dick, Jason, Tim).
    This would be solved if public knows these 3 are Bruce's wards, which leads to the 3 Robins getting more exposure and social experience growing up (particularly Dick and Tim), but I don't remember any dialogue acknowledging this, so yeah..... a bit of head scratcher.

  • @thedarkknight727
    @thedarkknight727 21 день тому

    Can you do a WHAT IF: The whole concept of the Arkham Knight was replace with Prometheus. The whole Modern Military Knight suit is perfect for a Modern Redesign just a simple name switch would have suffice, and it could look something like this, by using the game “A Way Out” for inspiration.
    WHAT IF: Way before Arkham Origins in “A Way Out” scenario, by switching the character of Vincent with Gordon, and having Gordon kill Leo, living Linda a widow, and Alex fatherless. Gordon’s betrayal would make Alex have a deep hatred for cops or anything authority related thus becoming Prometheus. Thus teaming up with Scarecrow to invade Gotham for revenge.
    At least that would be MY take. 😉

    If his identity got revealed, then bruce would have to stop being batman. All of his assets, wealth and everything relating to his family's Business would be taken away from him. The gcpd would get into his house, discover the batcave and take apart everything in it. All of his files and information on his computer would be known by the police. Bruce, along with every ally of his, would be relentlessly hunted down and thrown into prison for their crime. By simple association, Richard, Tim, jason, Alfred and lucius would also be the enemy of the gcpd. Their lives would be in constant danger, as Richard must have multiple enemies in bludhaven that want him dead. None of them could ever hope to live a civilian life ever again

    I've been having these ideas and no outlet for them so I'm going to leave them here.
    1. We need a game with the batman of the dark knight returns. I think that this would not only be awesome but also not even that difficult sense the fucking story is already written and you already have the mechanics in place from the arkham games
    2. There should be a game where bruce goes undercover in the mob as matches malone. It would be a mystery type deal like those old nancy drew computer games. I think we need a strong story based game with less brawling and tech and more of the "world's greatest detective".
    I've been writing these down in my notes app for a year but someone should make these a reality someday

    Actually . . . I agree with this whole theory 100%! The scarecrow batman could still happen at the ending with the existing timeline.
    My wishlist in this "What If" timeline though: Batman returns with a new Robin in tow, Damien Wayne. Tim Drake gets to have a heated gamer moment and get upset he got replaced, Red hood gets re-validated by saying "Look he did it again, he replaced you!", Time Drake could have a side quest ark where he becomes Red Robin, and at the end, it could tease a potential sequel of a Damien Wayne Beyond game that would eventually get cancelled in place of a SSKTJL game.
