Whose trying to kill Batman in Arkham Origins Pt. 2


Just like in Part One I list DC Comics assassins who we could be up against in the up coming Arkham Origins and whose out to kill Batman:



Name: Constantine Drakon
Skills: Master martial artist whose reputation goes without saying is among the best and he's known for throwing so fast no one can even see it coming, as well as catching projectiles aka batarangs and.... maybe arrows.
Why: Another Green Arrow villain hint here and being paid a large sum to kill Batman is a bonus for our assassin Constantine he'll be another one to possibly watch out for.




Name: Unknown better known as Prometheus
Skills: Where to begin...


Body Armor: The costume is made ​​of a lightweight and durable material, which is intertwined with synaptic relays to increase their formidable fighting prowess and covered with microscopic nanobites to affect the opponent's brain. The armor is also able to fly through the manipulation of magnetic forces and generate force fields.

  • Chameleon Device: Prometheus used the device to pass by Captain Marvel and infiltrate the Justice League satellite, the device allows him to imitate the voice and facial mannerisms of a person.
Computerized Helmet: Is connected to his brain and central nervous system.
  • Download Capabilities: Able to download any kind of information into his brain and download movements, mannerisms, and fighting styles into his central nervous system. He has been able to download the Watchtower's schematics onto a CD and from there download them straight into his brain which allows him to automatically know where everything is in the Watchtower. Has been able to download a CD into his central nervous system that contains 30 of the World's Best Martial Arts Masters, one of them being Batman's fighting style.
  • Hypnosis: By flickering the lights at a rate of 10 cycles per second, he can induce hypnosis.
  • Neural Chaff: Given off by the helmet, neural chaff disorganizes thought processes. It interferes with brain electricity. It is like giving thoughts the "Flu." Exclusively used against heroes like Green Lantern who needs to concentrate to use his ring.
  • Short-Term Memory: Enhances his short-term memory
  • Pain Killers: His helmet releases endorphins to take care of any pain he feels.

Transportation

Cosmic Key: Possessed the key to The Ghost Zone, allowing him teleportation abilities via another dimension as well as a hidden extra-dimensional base. It can also be used to inflict total molecular disintegration of a target.

Weapons

  • Microscopic Nanobits: Attacks central nervous system, infecting the brain of a human and/or metahuman through electronic impulses, causing the individual to lose control of his abilities for 5 minutes.
Energized Nightstick
  • Reprogram Computer Systems: Program electronic equipment when in physical contact.
  • High Hit-Impact: Able to destroy boulders and anvils with a single light strike.
Wrist Gauntlets: Fires and/or launches different kinds of ammo and artillery.
  • Phospherous Dart: Catches opponents on fire
  • Molecular Toxins Dart: Attacks morphoplastic nervous system. It gives complete spastic paralysis. The victim doesn't have any control over their physical structure. It stops his molecules from forming polymer chains. This effect turns the victim into a puddle and can last about an hour. Used against opponents with malleable bodies like Plastic Man and Martian Manhunter.
  • Mini-Rockets
  • Grenades
  • Special Bullets: Bullets capable of causing serious injury, even to Martians and Kryptonians.
And that's the suit he uses to be extra bad ass although he is still a skilled armed and unarmed combatnant, Intimidation, expert marksman, and a genius i give up on the game if he's in it.

Why: We all know Black Mask yes? He's a genius who knows gathering all these assassins could get ugly so I propose that he makes Prometheus his bodyguard in case things go sour with the assassins or Batman even, you read the skills and the suit powers right? Wouldn't you want that to be at your side defending you? 



Name: Anatoli Knyazev aka KGBeast
Skills: With his hand cut off by his own... other hand he'd make for a great early boss for the Dark Knight and his gun arm and master marksmanship is a deadly combo I'll have to keep my trigger fingers ready to dodge his bullets.
Why: Black Mask is going to like Anatoli's style of self mutilation to survive and is going to employ him with the job of taking out the bat due to his experience with demolitions and being a KGB agent to boot.. that's a lethal combo to employ and that's what Black Mask is going to need on his side.



Name: Talia Al Ghul
Skills: Being a more than capable martial artist, weapons expert, and beautiful to boot Talia is great to include as she also has the entire league of assassins inf ninja squad at her command.
Why: Black Mask would have either done business with or is being played by Rhas Al Ghul because he would use Talia to further his own goals of destroying Gotham. Let's not forget the foreshadowing to a certain awesome son that Batman and Talia could have mentioned in a future Arkham game.

The Black Mask Guide (Hopefully for Mark Strong.)

Just to save time i am referring to Black Mask as Mark Strong.


Reading Material:
Batman #386-387
 



May be classic but it sure gets the job done, this basically explains the story of Roman Sionis a child of a very wealthy family. Long story short his family resented the Wayne family even though Roman as a kid befriended them and even a young Bruce Wayne.

Christopher Nolan is looking for gritty villains? Look no further than Black Mask.

Black Mask isn't just a Batman villain fellow readers and nerds he is a villain for Bruce Wayne also, one time he kidnapped Wayne Enterprise executives and putting masks on there faces. This drew Batman's attention (yeah like Bruce had to go far and what tell himself in costume?) as he hunted down the False Face Society and ultimately meets Black Mask.

Black Mask is the greatest crime lord in Gotham having the ranks of even commanding and orchestrating Arkham escapes, and some single handed.

Black Mask and his group the False Face gang ranked up in Gotham exceptionally well under his control, one thing you had to do was wear a mask from his collection and wear it on jobs and around Black Mask himself.

What Mark Strong (or whoever gets cast) should focus on is Black Mask's thirst for blood and crime, he's a villain that is kill you first cant ask questions because its to late your dead.

Black Mask is a Criminal Master Mind, being a crime lord for as long as he has its a safe bet that you know he isn't stupid. Were talking about a man that nearly took control of Gotham City and its crime underworld at least twice.

You want dark for a villain? how about i throw in that among a lot of things Black Mask is capable of he is a renowned torture expert, whether its to get information about something or just for the heck of it. That spin and twist would be a perfect thing to portray in a real life Batman movie series, granted younger audiences wouldn't be able to see it but i believe Black Mask is not and will not be a family friendly villain.



Mark Strong has no problems portraying a mob boss in a movie (Frank D'Amico Kick Ass) what would need to be done is a complete mental spiral take Frank and magnify his personality to at least 1000% and darker. He would kill this role because of how much depth he has as an actor and what this character represents Mark would put his whole self into it.

Look i found the False Face Gang.


Martial Arts: Black Mask couldn't have gotten to be a master crime lord without knowing a thing or two about knowing how to fight.... you know that right? He can and has been on par with Nightwing, Catwoman and even Red Hood and Batman himself. There would need to be a psyhical part to pull this off but while in Black Mask mode Mark would do great.



All in all i believe with Chris Nolan and the direction he wants to take Dark Knight Rises he would not overlook Black Mask at all. Mark Strong or whoever might be cast would need to blend mob boss with a dark twist with some bloody knives and two semiautomatic pistols and an attitude to match.

By the way with Catwoman already in the movie it should be known and or shown in the movie that Black Mask hates with a passion the lovely Selina Kyle aka Catwoman.

Don't think Black Mask is crazy yet? How about he forcibly disfigured his wife into taking him back after his mask incident she committed suicide and he has a mannequin that he talks to like its real. Kind of like Two Face and his dependence/ need for his lucky coin.

Holy movie shootings batman!











Zonk! Boink! The Dark Knight Rises the final part of the real life Batman series directed by Christopher Nolan is shooting and up and running people. All we know so far is they cast Tom Hardy as Bane? Not my best villain choice for this real life movie but we will see how that plays out. With the beautiful Anne Hathaway playing the sexy yet psychotic thief Selina Kyle aka Catwoman is something I cannot wait to see. 



My last pick for a villain that I really hope makes it into the movie, Roman Sionis aka Black Mask.  The brutal and sadistic crime lord of Gotham, not to load his handgun and pull the trigger but he has stood up to Batman and Catwoman in a fight (yes Catwoman is a very talented martial artist.)


If Chris Nolan is looking for a real life villain with a lot to offer then Black Mask is a serious way to go. Who can complete the role of a mobster with a thirst for a blood and an expert on torture? Keep in mind that he is a skilled and ruthless martial artist. Mark Strong who portrayed Frank D’amico in Kick Ass is a great choice for this role, already having the mobster mind set he should have no problems giving this role the justice it deserves.


Not to mention Ra's al Ghul will make another appearance, not in the way were thinking though, he won’t be portrayed by Liam Neeson will not be playing the iconic immortal villain. Josh Pence will be taking on the role of Ra's al Ghul taking place in flash backs 30 years before batman begins.

Still can’t wait for more information to be released about this movie, the franchise has gone in excellent directions with more that we’ll have to wait and see until July 20th 2012. Don’t forget comic fans remember my famous quote. “With great screening great high quality Anne Catwoman screenshots follow” meow and drool readers.I would also like to bring to everyone's attention that the Joker will not be returning in this movie, nor would Chris Nolan have used recycled footage of Heath Ledger either.
