View Full Version : Who will survive the rumble at Arkham?
some of gotham's worst were suddenly transferred to a dimension, and a voice tells them 'the last man standing gets anything he wants'. so the villains were then placed into a large building, at random positions, to fight so only one is left standing. here they are, bat's enemies:
two face
riddler
joker
harley quinn
poison ivy
clayface
mad hatter
killer croc
ventriloquist
penguin
man-bat
firefly
mr.freeze
bane
i know i must've missed some of everyones favorites, but if the following met to rumble in a large building, 'POOF' scenario, carrying what they routinely carry with them, who will be the one to claim the prize? make a vote on who you think will be the last man standing!
note: they are carrying everything they routinely carry with them EXCEPT guns.
also props to DTM for inventing the 'POOF' scenario! im sure everyone agrees it is a most enjoyable set of threads to read!
I am going to say this is a no-brainer.
I vote for The Joker.
When your mental state can't even be charted or specified by all the major psychiatrists than I think this gives him the "edge."

I'd say Joker.
Not just for the fact that he's the favorite Batman Villian, but he's been the leader of several Anti-Bat teams in comics over the years. In Gotham Knights, he's working with Riddler, who in turn, has worked well in the past with some of the others. I see Joker leading one team, Bane leading another, and Two-Face leading a third.
Joker's Stacked Deck
Joker
Ridder
Harley Quinn
Poison Ivy (Her strong Harley connections)
Mad Hatter
(You forgot Scarecrow, but he'd dig this team)
Two Face's team is about Duality and part of that Duality not thinking it's in the wrong.
Two-Face's Heads and Tails
Two-Face
Ventriloquist
Man-bat
Mr. Freeze
Bane's Bruisers
Bane
Clayface
Penguin (flanked with henchmen)
Firefly
I see Joker's team coming out over Two-Face's, but could be a good toss-up between them and Bane's crew. Bane is alot like Batman (espeically now).
That's how I call it.
ok... i knew i missed someone!
add scarecrow in there, right under bane
next: No teams please, they are all fighting so only ONE survives. (all the others are KO'ed)
also: No henchmen/thugs/underlings
and: this is a patented, no time to prepare, POOF scenario
i like the idea cigam, but this isnt a team battle.
also, if anyone would like to add anyone into the list, please post.

I just finished reading the Arkham Asylum Living Hell trade paperback.
Here are some prominent characters you could possibly add to your list although they would not win a rumble, and are not classic characters from Batman's gallery of rogues. However, they could shake things up a bit. Live Geoff Johns commented, they are "villains done right."
Humpty Dumpty
Jane Doe
White Shark
Oh, and there was some female who was cell-mates with Poison Ivy, but I don't recall her name. She liked shiny objects and banged inmates for said objects.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say: With no time to prepare, now way out, and everyone for himself, Bane will probably be the last man standing.
