Nine heroes and one villain Gotham
Gotham. City rotten to the ground. The darkest, stench and dangerous city of the world. It is not clear here who is the hero and who is the villain. Here, neighbors hide from each other behind seven locks, and passers -by prefer not to look into each other's eyes. Everything is here, from the dishwasher to the mayor, bought, and evil and good are mixed in the combustible cocktail of hatred and anger. And only an ominous eared shadow, reminiscent of a bat, slides from corner to corner, raising fear in the townspeople before the dark.
The last stronghold of justice, the last hope of salvation is the hospital "Arkham", which has been preparing heroes of the new time for a decade for a decade. Gotham in the form in which we know him from Batman: Arkham City And see in Batman: Arkham Knight, should not exist. And only our brave heroes can save him!
Poisonous ivy
Pamela Lilian Aisley
“You really think that you can win mother nature?"
Poyshch fundamentally stays away from all of this Gotham mud, preferring contemplation to destruction. Gotham is invariably dark, dusty and dirty – corporations clog the environment, so that nature slowly leaves this place. To save what remains can only Pamela Aisley, the personification of the mother-nature itself. Who will miss stone cells, what we call houses when green forests become a true house?
Being imprisoned in the Armham hospital, Pamela begged people not to hurt her plants, but they did not listen. She asked Batman to help her save her wards, but he was passionate about his own meaningless manic hunting. Finally, the Joker used it for her own purposes, but at least at this time she could be with her children. And then Aesy left to die in one of the deaf chambers of the hospital.
However, even having got out of the hospital to jail, ivy did not need more-they continued to use it for their own purposes, but now the female female in the same name for Arkham City. It is time to put an end to this, nature should return the lost!
Mr. Frieze
Victor Fix
“Isn't she beautiful? Like a flower frozen in time "
Dark times can be wait out. It was this idea that the brilliant cryogenetic Viktor Fix was preoccupied, when he immersed his beloved wife, an inconspicuously ill, in Cryroson. But due to the fault of evil and greedy people, of which Gotham consists of 99%, Victor freezes himself too, dooming to eternal suffering and the inability to feel at least a little warmth. And no one is going to save him.
When during the events Arkham City Batman is on the verge of death, he crawls to Frieze for salvation. Why help someone who tried to harm you many times? But there is no choice left – the "dark knight" threatens Victor … death. While he is just trying to save his wife.
The happiness of two is higher than the indifference of many. The world that rejected this truth must be rejected. For the sake of saving life. For the sake of saving feelings. For the sake of the future of one cozy little world, in which there is only two.
Ro’s al-Gol
“The blood of the demon gave me six hundred years of life. Imagine how much good can be brought with this gift!"
For several centuries of life, the head of the League of the killers studied humanity well. If people are drowning (like the inhabitants of Gotham), then, trying to survive, they are drowned by everyone else. But the salvation of drowning is not at all the case of the drowning people themselves-as Ro’s al-Gol believes. And the only way out to save the most capable – allow the rest to drown. Even if you have to sacrifice yourself.
Ra’s for a long time was looking for a successor, because immortality is a heavy and insidious burden. He was ready to sacrifice everything that he had – a clan, a daughter, his own life, if only the only worthy agreed to take his place. But Batman will never depart from his old -fashioned principles, even if the well -being of the whole Gotham at the stake. He is ready to continue the war, if only it passed according to his rules.
Penguin
Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot
"Curtain, golden boy"
Everyone deserves respect. Not worship, not chanting, but just respect. Especially when your family stood at the origins of the origin of something great-such as Gotham. But to whom your status is important when you have not come out and looks like a penguin? No matter how much you are doing, no matter how skillful and far -sighted people will always laugh and neglect you, simply because the physiognomy did not come out.
The motives of Oswald Kobblepot can be understood: he always sought to be a respected person, but he heard only rudeness, ridicule and bullying. Kobblepot was and remains primarily a businessman. Even in Arkham City He tried to avoid skirmishes with other bandits, did not demand crazy acts from his subordinates and honestly paid everyone for the work done. Penguin is not easy to do business with a civilized society, but other gangs perceived it only as a jester in furs. Whether Bruce Wayne was an exception to whether he tried to express his respect, even a mock? Did Batman try to put himself in the place of a plain freak? No, he silently joined the persecution.
IN Arkham Knight Everything will become different. There are no more expensive outfits in which Cobblepot looked even more absurd, now only trousers, a strict office shirt, tie and business alliance with other gangs.
Scarecrow
Jonathan Crane
“Fear will break Gotham to shreds!"
Fear determines the behavior of a person, affects his actions and makes him be higher than himself. But Batman is easier to put on a mask and run away from his past than to accept it. IN Arkham asylum Scarecrow taught a lesson to the night to the Avenger, who would have thought of any person: whether I am on the right way, do not the fears of my fate determine the fears of the past? Under the influence of toxin, Batman met with his main fear – life in Bruce Wayne's skin. He did not try to overcome them, did not try to understand himself, he turned to the only one that he gives Wayne to fight – to the mask. The signal BET Fonar helped Batman to dispel the obsession and defeat Crane, but whether he defeated his fears? No. He fled again from them.
Deep in the soul, Wayne probably hoped that the nightmare was over how it was over with the scarecrow. But events Arkham City More than once made it clear that the scarecrow would return. And in Arkham Knight Batman will have to meet with his most terrifying opponent, his improved toxin and fear of accepting himself.
The mysterious
Edward Nigma
“What stops you? Fear or stupidity?"
Cognition is a forward movement. This is the only way for evolution. Anyone who consciously destroys his potential is akin to the criminal. If the system is arranged so that the outstanding mind is not used, willy-nilly you go beyond its framework.
The mysterious is not interested in power and money. He wants justice. The genius must be recognized, and charlatan is exposed. His puzzles haunt Batman at every step. For each skill there is a decent test. Sometimes the mysterious had to go to extreme measures to attract the attention of the busy “knight”, but … who does not like to win, especially surpassing the enemy with his mind and cunning? Batman is no exception. Games in riddles bring him pleasure Voodoodreams Casino no less than the host. And even if he won (not always alone), the world is still full of mysteries. IN Arkham Knight They will become more complicated, and in the confrontation of minds the final point will be put.
Two -faced
Harvey Dent
“Each story has two sides. Let's listen to her version before performing justice "
You can be a good citizen, or you can – a criminal. Harvey Dent managed to visit both sides of this line in order to understand: neither one or the other will achieve great success, acting within the framework of one code.
IN Arkham City The two -faced wanted to consider the case and pronounce the verdict to everyone, by whose fault he was locked in this cage. And who, if not a former district prosecutor and a good assistant Batman, could impartially judge those who lead the city to death and breaks fate? There was a Joker in his hands, a calendar man was waiting in the wings, locked in the basement of the court building. But Batman considered that only he could do it right. And how everything turned out? Another chaos and tragedy.
Harley Quinn
Harlin Queenel
“If you do not stop, I will tell Mr. Jay everything, and he … he will disturb!"
Efforts should be made only to those who are deprived of nature. What a straightforward and wrong, but true thought! Harlin never tried. A talented gymnast with a beautiful figure and face was not at all difficult to receive a prestigious diploma. A little flirting, a little flirting – and now it, the next step to success has been overcome.
But life put everything in place. And who dares to judge a girl who for the first time in her life achieved something with labor? The recognition of the Joker is not an empty phrase, and Harley simply could not afford to not match his rank. But does Batman are business before someone's relationship? He chose loneliness for himself and does not see the reasons why everything can be otherwise for others.
And when Batman allowed Joker to die, Quinn became dangerous. In addition Harley Quinn Revenge For Arkham City She appeared no longer a mocking clowness, but … widow. A heartbroken woman is capable of a lot – for example, to take herself a life, taking with her the culprit of her pain. But here Batman decided everything for her. IN Arkham Knight This story is still destined to end, and Batman is to answer for his crime.
Joker
“We need each other! Life would be so boring without you! Who else should I talk to? Who else can really understand me?"
To whom in his right mind it came to blame the cold that they come after the summer? Nature is characterized by harmony and balance. This is exactly what many will call. And if one of the scales drops too low, you need to put a counterweight on the other.
Joker is the greatest rival who brought Batman Glory. He invented witty plans, knew how to insert other persons into his play, he gave Batman the main trials in his crusad. He was a spring moving Batman forward. And in return received dishonor and painful end. Joker, like the Avenger himself, did not retreat from his mission until the very end. Always joking, always playing, with an indelible smile on the face. And to whom it is not Batman to understand his opponent, because he is marked with the same scars of the past, albeit not on his face, but in the soul.
The villain: Batman
Bruce Wayne
“You belong to me. Each of you "
No matter how tempting the changes may seem, there will always be someone who opposes and will cling to the past, just not to allow to collapse their own world with his habits, rituals and the former order of things. The world tends to change. And even such a yawning city, like Gotham, is ready for change.
But not his nightmare. Batman will never depart from his rules. He is deprived of his choice and will never risk being left without his main opponents. Without them, he will become an useless shadow, the past that is not ready to let go.
So who is the true villain in all this complex history?
