Voices for Season of Infamy Villains in Batman Arkham Knight

With the Season on Infamy Side Mission DLC(s) set toe be available for Batman Arkham Knight next month around Christmas time, lets look at who will and should be voicing the villains for each of them.




Killer Croc - After growing much bigger than he was in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Croc is sure to be voiced by someone that can perform a much deeper tone of voice than Steve Blum's and the man that is sure to replace him on voicing the villain is the Dark Knight's Keith Szarabajka

After voicing Ronan the Accuser from Avengers Earth's Mightest Heroes and Living Laser from Ultimate Spider-Man Szarabajka should have the perfect voice to fit Killer Croc in Batman Arkham Knight and if he does not end up being the voice of the character then it will most likely be Fred Tatasciore



Mr. Freeze - With Maurice LaMarche not involved in the game since his name along with two others were not accounted for in the end credits, he is sure to be replaced by someone who is and the one voice actor in the credits that should be able to provide a voice similar to LaMarche's is Dave Fouquette (voice of Ghost Rider from the 2007 movie adaption videogame)



Mad Hatter - With Peter MacNicole absent from the game along with Maurice LaMarche and Dee Bradley Baker, Michael Cornacchia is expected to replace him as the voice of the Mad Hatter in Batman Arkham Knight

and finally



Ra's al Ghul - Since it has been revealed that Dee Bradley Baker is not in the game, he will most likely be replaced by Steve Blum since his voice can sound similar to his at times


Until the release of the Season of Infamy Side Mission expansion DLC keep your eyes open for anymore updates that Rocksteady gives us

Expectations on Batman Arkham Knight's Season of Infamy Most Wanted Expansion Missions

With the Season of Infamy DLC confirmed to be an expansion to Batman Arkham Knight's main story, it provides the game with 4 more villains and most wanted side missions for Batman to take on before initiating the Knightfall Protocol. Now here is what we expect Rocksteady to include in each of the side missions that will make this expansion DLC worth installing.


Now for the 4 Season of Infamy side missions this what we expect Rocksteady to include in each of them;


Beneath the Surface



Killer Croc is to be fought by Batman in a hand to hand combat boss battle in one of the airships that he crashes down and Batman is to team up with the Red Hood against Croc during Dual Play to beat him 




Then after defeating Croc, Batman is to have Jason come help him bring the mutant crocodile to the GCPD Lockup and apoligize to Barbara for kidnapping her as the Arkham Knight and keep her company throughout the rest of the game


In From the Cold




With Mr. Freeze said to be close to curing Nora at a terrible price, it is unclear if Batman has to take him on in Predator Boss Battle over how the process of his wife's restoration would affect Gotham City or help Freeze cure his wife while making sure everything is stable.

Hopefully Nora will be cured even if Victor sacrifices himself to prevent whatever catastrophe his wife's restoration would bring upon Gotham and Baatman would take her to the GCPD to keep her safe.


Wonderland




Batman must break Mad Hatter's control on the cops that he abducted and then bring him to the GCPD Lockup and lock him up with the other supervillains in the Maximum Security Room. It is uncertain if Batman will find him inside the abandoned  shopping mall store where the riddle regarding his hats are displayed.


and finally


 Shadow War



Batman must stop Ras al Ghul and his assassins from killing all the rioters out on the streets of Central Gotham and to stop him in one final confrontation, Batman must make contact with Azreal either on the rooftops or in the holding cell and team up with him in Dual Play against Ras and his assassins.




After defeating the terrorists, Azreal will wish Batman the best of luck before scouting the city for more of the League of Assassins before returning to the order of Saint Duma to make them answer for what they did to him and Batman would take Ras to the GCPD Lockup for containment in the supervillain holding cell and will be seated in the spot Azreal sits.


Once every expectation in this article is successfully done in each of the 4 side missions, the Season of Infamy DLC will bring a satisfying completion to the main story in Batman Arkham Knight

What the DLCs Taking Place After Batman: Arkham Knight's Secret Ending Must Include and Why They MUST Happen

With the Batman Arkham Knight being such a huge hit and super awesome game of 2015, fans are really enjoying a game of the franchise that takes place in the very part of Gotham City that we have all been waiting to roam around in since Batman Arkham City. Surely it would have been the perfect spot to conclude the Arkhamverse but because of the secret ending in the game along with certain parts of the main story that has left some cliffhangers undealt with, a DLC taking place after the game and its secret ending is now on the debate.


Now here are the cliffhangers showing why some DLC taking place after Batman Arkham Knight, the Gotham Stories and it's secret ending needs to be done


First off are the Man Bat and the possible She Bat


After capturing Langstrom and bringing him to the GCPD, he would be in the same cell that Poison Ivy was kept in but if the console for the game is set on Halloween, then Man Bat escapes from the cell and intercepts Batman on the rooftops of Miagani Island which leads to Batman to meeting up with the Officer who has a crush on Poison Ivy to discover that Kirk had transformed into Man Bat again



and then there is Francine Langstrom who Batman thought was killed by Man Bat is rumored to have become the She Bat because of the blood on the TV Screen that was knocked down that with two bat mutated monsters flying out and about, this is two cliffhangers that cannot go unanswered



and the other cliffhanger that is most controversal is the bat sillouette figure that turned into a giant monster and charged and intimidated two confident criminals that were trying rob a family in the alleys of Miagani Island





Now for those cliffhangers cliffhangers to be dealt with someone has to step up in Batman's place, someone or some of Batman's allies and proteshes would have to deal with the two giant vampirebat mutated monsters but for the main playable character of this upcoming DLC or two or three in 2016 that takes place after the main story, its secret ending and all other DLCs after and before them should be none other than


Jason Todd





Other than ending up as the identity of the Arkham Knight or the Red Hood, Jason will need  to assume a new ego that combines both of his personas into 1 and refer himself in that new suit as the Red Knight


When being the main playable character in the first part, he will meet up with Barbara Gordon and Tim Drake to apoligize for kidnapping her in the main story Batman Arkham Knight and they will work with him to track the two Man Bats down while Lucius has Wayne Industries provide him with a shot gun that fires non-lethal rounds like the Batmobile so that he can stun his enemies faster than his pistols. Of course he will still has his flash grenades and his customized rifle which he will use only to bring the mutated bat creatures down from flying in the sky and once he is done subduing and curing one of them, he will then head out to find the other one but not without taking on gangs of thugs and rescuing some hostages first and while doing so Barbara will need to be at Wayne Tower getting her spine fixed up with the help of Wayne Tech Bone and Tissue repairing Nanobots and after the Knight takes on the second Bat creature in a boss fight, the mysterious Bat sillouette appears to help Jason subdue the creature and takes off, Jason as the Red Knight would contact Lucius to inform him on how much longer for Barbara's spine to be fully repaired, he will inform Fox to develop a new bat suit for her to wear that is made up of the same titanium liquid metal suit that was used for Batman because if the mysterious Batman sillouette really is Bruce Wayne then the Knight knows for sure if any of the criminals on the street find out who he is, then they will for sure be ready to go to war against the bad guys again, after all she was able to recover over the next 3 years after the Killing Joke incident with the Joker in the comics so it should happen.



The second part will focus on Barbara making her comeback as Batgirl after getting her spine repaired courtesy of the wayne tech bone and tissure repairing nanobots. The reason why Barbara here in the Arkhamverse needs to get her spine fixed up so that she can return to crime fighting as Batgirl and be capable of defending herself against her opponents and incase Bruce Wayne is still alive as the mysterious sillouette figure, she along with Jason, Nightwing and Robin will need to get him to understand that he shouldn't have to worry about them or be completely responsible that he shouldn't let the loss of his parents control him and start having more faith in them right after they rescue him from the band of villains and thugs that are teaming up again only to put an end to the mysterious figure that has been terrifying and taking down their henchmen and they are

Penguin,


Scarecrow,



 Two Face,


 Riddler

 Harley Quinn

and a new addition to the gang; Deacon Blackfire


and this time the 6 villains bring in some muscle to help them bring down the sillouette figure who will serve as the main antagonists for the second and third part of this finale DLC and they are


Killer Croc


because Rocksteady did not have us take on Killer Croc in a boss fight in any of the three games they developed and with Croc getting bigger and tougher, he should have a larger role in this second and third part of the DLC because not only is he capable of identifying the scent of certain people and animals but because the mysterious figure from the secret ending has appeared and is now terrorizing all the thugs in Gotham City, Gotham City's most wanted gang leaders would now turn to Killer Croc for help on dealing with the mysterious sillouette figure. Afterall the Gotham City Stories that are unlocked from solving the riddle from inside the lighthouse next to Ace Chemicals says that Croc was locked up on one of Simon Stagg's airships and was drugged with an agent before he escaped and started feasting on many residents of Gotham and started using the lighthouse as his home



and since Croc was shown at the end in Batman's hallucinations where he started growing spikes on the left side of his body and has gotten bigger than he was in Arkham Asylum and City and has grown a tail, it is possible that the drug that Stagg used on him must have made his mutation worse than usual plus his actions of chewing off Scarecrow's face in Batman: Arkham Asylum is the reason
that the Master of Fear had the Arkham Knight and his militia kidnap Barbara Gordon, her father and her boyfriend/husband Tim all just to make Batman pay and suffer by having his reputation to Gotham City ruined by fear and doses of his fear toxin. Now with Croc having gotten bigger and more dangerous than before he definately has to be fought in a boss fight during Duel Play in order to make so strikes against him count.

Now for the other muscle villains that should be joining him in his hunt for the mysterious Batman like silluette figure

A new comer to the Arkham Franchise who is capable of strong supersonic sound blasts and has the strength of ten men known as Silver Banshee


With her supersonic powers she could knock the silluette figure out of the sky while hitting him from the side thus giving Killer Croc the chance to overpower him along with another formitable for of the Dark Knight

Bane


the mercenary of Santa Prisca who is obsessed with wanting to break the Batman would be called in to help Croc and Banshee capture the mysterious sillouette figure and await further instructions




now with Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) as the main playable character of the second DLC she will be teaming up with Red Knight (Jason Todd) against the Riddler and Harley Quinn, then with Robin (Tim Drake) against Two Face and Deacon Blackfire and finally with Nightwing (Dick Grayson) against Scarecrow and Penguin in Double Boss Battles while in Dual Play in both Combat and Predator mode



and finally they will rescue the mysterious Bat Sillouette figure who maybe Bruce Wayne aka Batman alive as they all will head to Wayne Tower on Miagani Island to prepare for the final battle in Part 3


Now for Part 3, Batman will be the main playable character of the third and final part of the Arkhamverse's three part finale that if he is alive and infact the mysterious bat sillouette figure that has ambushed two of Two Face's goons in the ally, the fact on how he was able to become the mysterious monster was with the help of an old friend

Zatanna Zatara



Bruce and Zatanna have known each other before the billionare's crime fighting career as Batman began as her father had taught him his escape tricks and that with her debuting in the Arkhamverse in person in this three part DLC she would act as a very unique addition to the rooster of Batman Arkham Knight's playable characters,






While appearing in the second part with of the finale DLC with Alfred, she at the start of the third part will cast a spell to revert Bruce back to normal human form as he and his 4 sidekicks have teleported with her to the Batcave. Then after discussing his reasons with his team for not letting them help him against Scarecrow and the Arkham Militia forces they will then get a distress call from Lucius at Wayne Tower that the building is being attacked by all the criminals in Gotham City led by Killer Croc and Silver Banshee with Bane and his mercenaries accompanying them. Then Batman, Zatanna, Batgirl, Robin, Red Knight and Nightwing will arrive at the tower diving down onto the roof of the building where Batman is to start his walkthrough in the final DLC for the very last battle and here is what the line up of heroes and villains should be



With these three super strong supervillains it will require duelplay to take them all down so the first boss fight will take place in the garage of Wayne Tower with Robin and Nightwing fighting Bane and
Batgirl and Zatanna will fight Silver Banshee right in the mid level area of the tower right here




and Batman and Red Knight will battle Killer Croc in the top floor of the tower using electric shock gloves from the GCPD Evidence Archive to penetrate him and charge them up by taking down all the thugs that come onto the office floor by choppers and hit Croc with Dual takedowns as well.

Once Croc is defeated the whole tower comes down and Batman will realize that he can't let his past control him forever and with all the thugs and villains rounded up, Gotham is safe with less crime while Batman, Batgirl, and Robin continue to defend Gotham City together.


now this is how Rocksteady should plan the finale DLC for Batman Arkham Knight and even though GCPD Lockdown and others that are yet to come may take care of sweeping up some of the loose ends from the game that are needed to be dealt with, some of the suggestions from this article can still be used. So if you want this idea of a DLC to happen then hurry and convince Rocksteady to convert everything from this article into an epic finale DLC right away before they stop with the releases in December.

The Only Few Problems with Batman Arkham Knight

While Batman Arkham Knight is the one most relieving and most awesome Arkham Game in the Arkham Franchise so far, let's take a look at some of the issues Rocksteady has made and what they purposely did not include in the game's main story that would have made the game even more perfect.



First the main story of the game did not feature enough villain character boss fights like the previous games have. Surely we got to fight the Riddler for the first time in combat and the Arkham Knight (despite changing his armor's color red after Batman busted his visor) but Rocksteady purposely ditched the chance of having Batman take on villains like Killer Croc in his further deformed/monstrous state)


no doubt its because they were heavily focused on the Batmobile battling tanks that it distracted them from including plenty of character boss battles



Barbara Gordon was held captive for too long


It has put the pressure on many fans to have Oracle kidnapped by the Arkham Knight and be held captive for most of the main mission of the main story due to the Arkham Knight and Scarecrow keeping Batman from rescuing her sooner before they tricked him with fear toxin into thinking they manipulated her into commiting suicide when they actually made sure she was still alive and because of how stubborn Batman was not letting Nightwing and Robin help him over his obsession with keeping Joker from coming back to terrorize Gotham and because of his fears of what would happen to them,


surely Barbara was alive and Batman rescued her and she was able to help him protect the GCPD from being obliterated by the Militia drones. the reason for the long wait on rescuing her sooner was the desire for so much drama no doubt



and finally the main issue of the game that is bothering us regards the Arkham Knight on his identity


at first the Arkham Knight was reported and said to be introduced into the game as an original new character and villain who commands an army of terrorists serving as his own personal militia


before the game's release while the rumors were still standing, the Arkham Knight was sure to be someone inspired by Hugo Strange and Quincy Sharp's work on Arkham City he was surely someone who was intending to finish their work but once we got into the HQ the Arkham Knight reveals him self as an ironically undead Jason Todd


Other than how controversal it was to make Jason end up  inside the suit after he was last seen getting killed by Joker and for how big a wreck and a whiner he was, the issue with making Jason Todd the Arkham Knight's identity was that it made Rocksteady lie to us that the Arkham Knight was a new and original villain/character


But for now the real question is why did the people of Rocksteady choose to lie to us about the Arkham Knight being a new and original character just by making him Jason Todd instead of making the identity of the character someone that was not seen in the comics like the 4 Joker infected victims that were in Panessa Studios as well as all the cops that were with Aaron Cash in the GCPD building and all the fireman that were taken hostage by the rioters in the game or at least let us know that the Arkham Knight was going to be someone from the comics

Well I am sure that someday the people who developed this game will answer for this


And for those of you who refuse to admit that Jason Todd made Rocksteady lie to us about the Arkham Knight being an original character with your "technically" excuses, take a look at the pictures below and read the comics that features Jason Todd



Jason Todd appeared in the Batman comics as the second robin that was killed by the Joker


and then he returns as the Red Hood





So as you can see from the pics of Jason as Robin and Red Hood from the comics, you should understand now to why making Jason the identity of the Arkham Knight made the character rumors a lie because if the Arkham Knight was an original character, then he would have been someone that was not seen in the comics before and if you still refuse to admit that I among others that know it made the rumors a lie are right, then someday one of those people that know for sure Rocksteady lied to us about the Arkham Knight would intend to find where you are and hurt you but I wouldn't.

Because when it comes to original it not only means the very first of something, it also means very new


Still the only reason this issue with the Arkham Knight ending up as Jason Todd hasn't struck the net with such major impact and why Rocksteady has not explained why they chose him to be the character's identity was because other than some of the fans knowing for sure of the Arkham Knight being Jason Todd despite him being the Red Hood, it's that the game was still awesome that it's got almost everything we wanted, and that Batman was able to rescue Barbara Gordon and bring her to safety to the GCPD and what matters most of all was that the Scarecrow serving as the main villain of Batman Arkham Knight was definitely the real Jonathan Crane from Batman Arkham Asylum and not the Joker thank god  and that Batman dealt with Joker first before dealing with Scarecrow. It shows that Rocksteady was able to manage someone other than the clown prince of crime as the main antagonist in these games without making Joker steal the spotlight from them.

For now while we wait for more potential DLC's to be released for the game, we should enjoy playing Batman Arkham Knight as much as we can
