Which villains would you want in Batman: AA2?

For me, Black Mask seems great. Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and Penguin also all seem really good, but who else would you want?
 Deathstroke (many people might know him as Slade) would be nice for me.

Clayface.
Deathstroke isn't a Batman villain, is he? I thought he was a general villain to the Justice League and Teen Titans.

Boss Fights to not be awful, and Maybe make the combat a bit deeper/ harder.
Edit: Misread, but a Boss with a decent battle would still be relevant

I don't really know. Maybe one or two new ones, but I felt that all of the villains in Arkham kind of made the game's villains seem interchangeable except for The Joker. Maybe a more concentrated group of evil-er villains than the whole lot of them. But I completely understand about the fact that they need a lot, seeing as it's one of the game's selling points.

Catwoman, Pfeiffer style

#6 Posted by ryanwho (12083 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

They don't need alot, though. They just need to use the specific villains that have a lot of disposable minions.

mr. freeze- I think a big ice level would be fun. 
 
scarface- i want to see batman fight a puppet
 
madhatter- funny character who could replace scarecrow as the psychological/ fantastical villain

#8 Posted by TooWalrus (11812 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

Joker-dorf

#9 Posted by Icemael (6099 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

Black Mask has his False Facers-dudes with masks as well. Thing is, Black Mask can be one of those characters that would make you go 'what the fuck?' Maybe from talking to a mannequin (because his beloved, Circe, is killed). He also feeds Catwoman's sister's brother-in-law's body parts to Catwoman's sister. They could make him a great crazy bloke-I don't think Zsasz cut it in the last one.

Clayface would make a really good massive bad guy, like Poison Ivy was in the prequel. And yes, Deathstroke is also in other superheroes lives as an antagonist, but he'd still make a kick-ass Batman bad-ass-guy. For once, it could be you being the prey and not being the 'invisible predator'.

   I like the way you think. How bout we combine all three of these bad guys and make into a batman saves santa story. Mr.freeze does the ice thing, mad hater turns everything into weird x-mas related stuff (Evil reindeer)  and the puppet makes evil toys. ANd can anyone say coop with santa as player 2.  I would love to see santa on gargoyles, stealth killing enemies and striking fear in all the minions.     
 
bad guy 1: "hey did you guys hear that?"    
 bad guy 2: "ya i saw that shadow what was it"  

 far in the distance "hohoho"....

     bad guy 1: "AAHHHHH"    
 bad guy 2: "OH man its a candy cane, it must be the fat!!"

Is Robin still part of the main canon in the current comics? I ask this because he was never explicitly mentioned in the game.
#16 Posted by dutch42 (533 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

#17 Posted by CaptainObvious (2944 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

Hush, Two Face and Deathstroke.

#18 Posted by Zereta (1332 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Two Face, Firefly, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman. 
 
Lets do it, Rocksteady!

#19 Posted by SpikeSpiegel (6816 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

I definitely would like to see Mr. Freeze and Penguin. I'll probably only see one of them though.

#20 Posted by DanGuy (278 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Mr. Freeze, an ice area would be cool.
Two-Face, why not?
Scarecrow, actually fight him.

#21 Posted by Gabriel (4035 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Two face and Clayface

Only if voice acted by Arnold.
#23 Posted by PenguinDust (12093 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Did you see the trailer breakdown on Gametrailers yet (link)?  Looks like Catwoman, Penguin, Two-Face and Black Mask are all strongly suggested in addition to the obvious Joker and Harley appearance.

#24 Edited by SHADOWINFINITE (536 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Hush one of batman's greatest enemies 

#25 Edited by TheMustacheHero (6654 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Two-Face and Cat Women!

#26 Posted by Jimbo (8857 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

D.A.V.E. and Everywhere Man sound pretty ridiculous.  No wait, Man-Bat!
 
Batman appears to have some really terrible villains.

no idea. i'll just wait for Rocksteady to rock my world

#28 Posted by IceTrey87 (199 posts) - 3 years, 4 months ago

Hush, Prometheus, and Man-Bat would all be fun bosses because they wouldn't be just some big dumb thug, shoulder charging.  Prometheus and Hush could take Batman one on one in a fight and it'd be pretty intense.  Just give them some cool acrobatic shit and special moves and I'd be good.  Man-Bat could be pretty cool in that some sort of arial battle could take place (maybe you'd have to grapple on to him and beat him up). 
 
Scarface/The Ventriloquist would be interesting.  I'm sure Rocksteady could come up with something cool. 
 
Also Mr. Freeze, and I think they need to bring back Killer Croc so we can have a legitimate boss battle against him this time. 
 
oh and FIREFLY!   Dude can you imagine him going all out just effing torching everything in the room?  Maybe make it some sort of combat puzzle where you have to open up water pipes as you fight him to avoid the whole room going up in flames. 
 
Also Clayface. 
 
so yeah.  Clayface, Prometheus, Ventriloquist, Firefly, Man-Bat, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Hush

I do agree with the Clayface. He could have been used real good in the first AA game. But why not bring him back for AA2. They just need a short little description on how he broke out of Arkham Asylum and got to Gotham. I do agree that the Ventriloquist is needed because Scareface is seen without him in the first AA game. Why not put the two together for the upcoming game. Only thing that has got me wondering is what doll the Ventriloquist will use. I'm taking it that he has more than 1 Scareface puppet. Remember the last scene we saw Scarface is was when you went into the room behind the visiting center, beat the Titans and then saw Joker throw Scareface on the ground. So how connected is the Ventriloquist to his puppet that we saw on Arkham. Is he brave enough to make a journey back to the Asylum and rescue it? 
 
*Mr. Freeze, I'm sure will be in AA2. Remember he was mentioned RECENTLY ESCAPED in Dr. Young's notes. With him being in the game I'm pretty sure he will be out trying to capture Dr. Evers so that he can restore the life of his long lost Victoria as seen in Batman Vengeance and the cartoons. His lab was always located out in that facility on the water. So we may get to use either the Bat-Submarine or the Batwing for multi-purposes in the game. 
 
*Bat-Mite, may be kind of interesting to have in the game. A lot of people don't know who he is. He was mentioned in the comics randomly when Batman's equipment would start 
malfunctioning for weird reasons. I'm thinking it would be interesting for Batman to be on a mission for the controls in his Batwing start acting weird and causing him confusion. And on the intercom inside the Batwing, you would hear a little sneaky voice saying "HAHAHAH, Batman. Lets see you get your way out of this one".
 
*Hush/Dr. T. Elliot is a very good for the story. If FireFly and Mr. Freeze are in the game, then he would be good to put in the story. Remember, it still has not been explained on how Mr. Freeze broke out in Dr. Young's notes. And if remember correctly, when you scan the schedule board inside the X-Ray room, it's obvious that Arkham staff have not discovered Dr. Elliot's true identity. When you come to think of it, Dr. Elliot could have easily let Mr. Freeze out of his cell. Fire Fly's fire pack is also seen inside of Arkham. So maybe they could have Dr. Elliot sneak Fire Fly his fire pack. Either way Hush/Dr. T. Elliot is a good person to tie into the story.
 
*Scarecrow I'm sure will be in AA2. If (Black Mask) is in there, then Scarecrow should work with him. Scarecrow did some work with Black Mask when Two-Face was chased out of Gotham and Black Mask resumed his title as the ruler of the FALSE FACERS society. Scarecrow also worked with Black Mask along side with Penguin and Clayface. So hopefully they will tie him in with the story.
 
*Ras Al Gu may also be mentioned. We all know him as the man that has lived for over 100 years. And when you beat the AA game, his body is no longer to be found where you first saw him. So that means members of the League of Shadows came back to rescue him.
