Hey everyone. Have you every wondered what happened to some of the minor characters of the Batman: Arkham universe? Well today I'm going to be looking at some of the people Rocksteady forgot to give an ending to, and giving them one they deserve.

    A real shame Bane wasn’t even in Arkham Knight, and felt like a bonus in Arkham City. Being one of Batman’s biggest villains (figuratively and literally), I would have hoped that they’d done more with him. If anything swap Firefly out for him.
  • @maui3551
    There is a strong theory that Killer Crock is the one that killed Arnarky by making him into his meal
  • @pyroclops1226
    Sharp didn’t go insane because of hugo, he was schizophrenic during asylum and had the spirit of arkham second personality that killed inmates
  • @tt1336
    I've seen a video with a theory today that Anarky was killed by Killer Croc, because his marks lead to the edge of the map. Where we can see claw marks and a cliff with a broken fence, not far from the killer Croc's Lighthouse, also there is a HUGE symbol of the Anarky near the fence
  • There's a theory that Anarky is actually the smoker in the diner in the intro to Arkham Knight, as obviously Jason couldn't be the smoker since the fear gas can't be stopped by gas masks. However, the smoke DOES have a red hood like anarky and the A on the table resembles anarky's A pretty closely. Sadly though Anarky probably died still since the news feed during the intro shoes the face of a presumably dead hooded man that sort of looks like a older Anarky, and is presumably the attack (since why else would a dead body be on pointed out on live television)

    I really love the Abramovichi twins. They had so much potential and are like no other villians in the batman universe. It's a shame most people only see them as henchmen and not actual characters.
  • @dylpickle9556
    Some dude made a theory about he think’s anarchy was actually in Arkham knight, since you can see the anarchy logos everywhere, however one of them is located next to the movie studio on the coast near the water. Above it is some broke guard railings and claw marks. And off in the distance crocs lighthouse is visible. He thinks croc got him
  • @smotocel1117
    shiva and bane really were some of the most interesting villains that didnt got enough screen time at least for shiva since half of origins is full of bane, but shiva should ve be at least a side boss if not a main in knight since she was a side in origins too
  • @jacktoma21
    What happened to Victor Zsasz, you can see him on security footage in Arkham Knight when looking for Oracle. But Batman never takes him down within the game. Also what happened to the calendar man. All we know is that he was a the mansion before it blew up
  • @LunrFox
    I really wish we got more of Shiva. She's such a cool character. Maybe she'll appear in Suicide Squad, as they did say there were going to be other characters added as playable later, and she's been in the Squad a few times in the comics.
  • I know that the Arkhamverse isn't really aligned with the comics so this sort of hypothetics is possible, but I find it really hard to believe that anybody, even Ra's al Ghul could kill Lady Shiva. She's literally the most talented and brutal martial artist in all of DC Comics, with not even Batman being able to best her. The only person that I can think of who's managed to stand toe-to-toe with and even beat her was her own daughter, Cassandra Cain (a.k.a. Orphan/ Black Bat/ Batgirl). But again, this is a different iteration of the character, so it's possible that she could've been bested by someone in this universe.
  • Theres so much around Anarky is kinda neat how many plausible ideas exist. One that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is a small den somewhere near the piers of gotham. You can go into a sewer area with Anarky’s symbol around but a severe lack of bodies or human presencec only a pile of bones and flesh remain in the center of the room with torn up clothing scattered about.
  • I really like Bane's ending in the games! While it's still sad that the big guy may never be the same person he was before his TITAN mutation at the end of Arkham Origins, it's still really nice to see him finally overcome his Venom AND TITAN addiction and even become somewhat of an anti-hero in his home country! I guess you could say he got a (somewhat) happy ending.
  • Where did Clayface go? Suicide Squad must answer this question and I think they do so in spectacular fashion with Clayface being a major villain in the game.
  • @zachnanite947
    I've never heard it anywhere else, but i really like the idea here that small bits of Clayface were picked up and sold on the black larket, which would allow Hush to hide his scars, since i highly doubt scars like that would be mear gone after only a few months
  • HAMMER AND SICKLE (THE ABRAMOVCH TWINS): it would have been cool if they appeared in The Third Season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow where the Legends are dealing with Anachronisms and Rip Hunter's Time Bureau. the twins would've been cool to have seen time displaced in P.T Barnum's Circus in Wisconsin in 1870 alongside B'wana Beast, A Sabretooth Cat, King Tut and The Flying Graysons, I also think it would've been cool if the twins were captured by Iron Heights' Prison Airship (the same prison that Croc was in in the Season of Infamy DLC) and let's say The Arkham Knight Prequel Comics were Canon and Scarecrow sewed them back together but when they were onboard The Iron Heights Prison Airship. They were separated from the shoulder again but they successfully grew arms, they probably would have gone back to Russia, most likely to form a crime Syndicate of their own ANARKY: I think he should have appeared in Arkham Knight, if they made a part 2 to The Season of Infamy DLC, but there is a strong rumour/theory that before Killer Croc was found, captured and horrifically tortured/experimented upon by The Iron Heights Prison Airship, Croc killed Anarky and his Anarchist Thugs and making them all his Meal COPPERHEAD: my guess she presumably went back to South America after Arkham Origins, assuming she escaped from Custody where years later she was kidnapped by some former members of Bane's Mercenaries who handed her over to The Arkham Knight's Militia and was likely tortured and possibly dissected to death by Scarecrow or Hush after getting the ingredients on her Poison for his Fear Toxin WARDEN/MAYOR QUINCY SHARP: most likely after Arkham City was shut down and it's events, he was disgraced and his reputation was permanently destroyed, went to Prison where he saw the Ghost of Hugo Strange and likely hung himself in his cell BANE: Bane's Story in Arkham Knight where he went back to Santa Prisca would have made for a cool DLC Story, maybe set concurrently during the events of Arkham Knight or before The Events of Arkham Knight, if they made a part 2 to The Season of Infamy DLC, Bane would be in it, Maybe he's captured by The Arkham Knight's Militia OR while he's in Santa Prisca, some of his former Mercenaries have came back to Gotham and decided to sell what's left of TITAN on Gotham's Streets, that would've made a cool side mission SHIVA: Ra's al Ghul probably killed her or had her Assassinated because she didn't like his Leadership and his use of using The Lazarus Pit and it is possible that she might have been more than Nyssa's Close Associates, Nyssa and Shiva were Lovers, this would cause Nyssa to leave the league and set up the League Rebel Faction we see in Shadow War that created a League of Assassins Civil War CLAYFACE: Honestly I think it would've been cool if his clay was taken by Simon Stagg and was onboard one of the Stagg Airships and it accidently collided with a bunch of Chemicals and it brought Basil Karlo back to life and he can retake forms again, and he kills everybody onboard the Airship another awesome side mission idea, his clay was also used to create ''Metamorpho'' (The DC Superhero Rex Mason/Metamorpho)
  • @skxlter5747
    Rocksteady seriously needs to flesh out the Arkhamverse more since there were only 4 games and no other tie in games or comics (besides Arkham Genesis). They need to release more canonized comics and hopefully suicide game will somewhat fix that.
  • @TEEEEV
    I loved this video! Some ideas for a part 2, choose whichever you like: Solomon Grundy, deadshot, Zsasz, Killer moth, the rat catcher, calendar man, black mask, Alberto falcone, the ventriloquist, Prometheus, Great white shark, holly, Tweedle Dee/dum, Harvey bullock and Francine langstrom. Hopefully these gave some ideas! :)
  • I think killer croc killed anarchy because if you follow the anarchy symbols around the city, it’ll eventually lead you to somewhere across from crocs light tower and you can see claw marks all around the last anarchy symbol
  • I think I’m having a massive Mandela effect episode but I remember extremely vaguely Arkham Batman fighting task master even though he is marvel
