How does it feel, Wayne, to be triumphed by my genius?

>How does it feel, Wayne, to be triumphed by my genius?
>Are you going to cry, as you did long ago as a child, your eyes pouring and your hands wet and stained with the blood that poured from your mother's breast
>Or are you going to urinate in your pants, shaking in fear as the memory of that night haunts you and you ask your butler to change your sheets
>Maybe you'll instead defecate, as you struggle with the guilt of staining your father's medical legacy by punishing and crippling the guilty
>Or is it that you are going to ejaculate, no doubt on Miss Selina Kyle, to reassert your masculinity as The Bat-Man, both of which I'll take for myself when I inevitably replace you
>What is it going to be, Mr.Wayne?

I’m going to SHAVE YOUR FUCKING STUPID AMISH NECKBEARD WITH A RUSTY BATARANG, AND THEN I’M GONNA DO ALL THREE ON YOUR SHAVING CUTS.

I thought the last boss of Arkham City would be Hugo Strange wearing the batsuit and knowing your every move because he was studying your movements.

You know what to do Wayne, make Batman proud

That could have been either really cool or really lame depending on how they pulled it off.
Strange has never been able to best Batman physically but he's no slouch physically, being able to impersonate Batman after all. Plus you could have him throw other tricks he's used in the comics at you during the fight, like fog/fear dust/ghost hallucinations, androids or servants dressed as the other Rogues or Batman's allies, old-school villain tricks like trained snakes or pitfalls, and copies of every asset Batman has turned against him, alongside of course, the TYGER guards and Monster Men. As if Strange was attempting to not just replace Batman with himself, but Gotham City itself with Arkham City.

Would have been a lot better than what happened with him at the end of the game

Dr. Steel vs Batman

I don't know that he'd be able to fight on equal footing, but maybe he could pull a Clock King and have such an intimate understanding of how Bruce fights that he can evade his attacks and counter with his own. He should also, as this user says, incorporate other villains' tricks in his own arsenal. Hugo Strange shouldn't just want to imitate Batman, he should want to surpass him, and his villains, by adopting and synchronizing what makes them effective.

I think Hugo has, on his own, more than enough tricks and tools to go up against Batman as a final boss, some of which preceded their usage by other villains. But then again, Batman has often been shown taking pages from his enemies's playbooks and adding them to his arsenal, and therefore it makes sense that Hugo would do much the same and then elevate it. You could even make it so that his usage of those tools is flawed and may make it so that the other villains are indirectly helping Batman take Hugo down.

Because Hugo has always been able to outwit and surpass Batman when they are one on one, but whenener outside parties interfere (Gordon, Rupert Thorne, the Batfamily, other rogues), his plans start to unravel. Hugo has always reaffirmed Batman's need for allies and connection to humanity.

He should’ve been the Arkham Knight.

Back when they said the Arkham Knight wasn't going to be Jason, I thought the Knight would turn out to be the "ghost" of Hugo in his own advanced Batsuit. The "ghost" would actually be an advanced AI based on Hugo that he made with the help of LexCorp. It was meant to continue his plan in the event of his own death, but was so twisted by Strange's obsession with becoming the "Batman" that all it wants to do is kill Bruce and takes his place, so Scarecrows the one running the siege on Gotham.

>The "ghost" would actually be an advanced AI based on Hugo that he made with the help of LexCorp.
This could work, seeing as the original ghost of Hugo Strange was based on technology
>It was meant to continue his plan in the event of his own death, but was so twisted by Strange's obsession with becoming the "Batman" that all it wants to do is kill Bruce and takes his place
The thing about Arkham Hugo though is that he's obsessed with Batman for different reasons than canon Hugo. In the game they made it so that he's obsessed with becoming Batman so he can wipe out Gotham's criminals and become Ra's heir instead of Bruce, where as in canon, Hugo is a master criminal himself and surpassing and becoming Batman, who he considers to be the pinnacle of humanity, is the goal.
So maybe what would happen is that HuGhost is initially supposed to follow the plans and goals of Arkham Hugo, but eventually develops into something closer to the Prey/Transference Hugo, who is utterly batshit and obsessed with Batman himself above anything.

I like that. It would be true to the idea of Hugo's character development over the years, as he started out with loftier goals of world domination/expanding his criminal empire and eventually became more and more obsessed with Batman to the point it consumed him.

The only problem is that Hugo would never agree to Scarecrow's plans of unmasking Batman before the world, but then again, this is Arkham Hugo who sold that secret to Ra's.

I like how they hyped up Arkham Knight being a mystery and then just dump an hour of J*son T*dd exposition at the end of the 2nd act and just try to act all casual like it's not blatantly and slovenly holding the player's hand so they understand/care about a later plot point. That's the problem when you try to write a story that appeals to years and years of several dozen characters. Your storytelling suffers.

If you really think about it, Hugo is the most /ourguy/ supervillain out there. He went with the mad doctor/criminal mastermind meme when it was cool. got prema-banned until the late 70s, pretended to be a ghost from then-on, then jumped on the psychologically-obsessed-with-his-enemy meme, and ruthlessly analyzes and tries to show that he can be better than his enemy, just like we do to writers we don't like.

bad meme, but good execution
4/5

That would be Fredric Wertham.
A famous psychiatrist who uses his respectable reputation, media manipulation and psychological manipulation to attack Batman and nearly ruin him completely.

Characters that would have made a better Arkham Knight than Jason

I think that we can all at least agree that the Clayface boss and twist were a mistake.

How so?

It's fucking Clayface pretending to be the Joker.
You can't just pretend to be the Joker, user. It doesn't matter how good of an actor you are. Batman would notice.

Of course. Batgod never slips up.

idris elba.

The twist in itself was retarded.
But the boss fight was awesome and a huge improvement over TitanJoker

Batman can slip up and Joker has every right to find a way to trick him, but Clayface can't be capable of mimicking Joker's insane mannerisms without Batman catching on. It's not just Batman, it's Batman and Joker.

Eh. If we pretend the first two Arkhams are still a version of BtAS (but not Beyond), it could be the same Clayface that was so good at acting part of him became an independent being with the shape and mind of a girl.

Hugo has weird fetishes.

It might work if he conceptualizes it as a stripping of identity. He's not exposing "batman" he's stripping the inferior imitation of his claim to the throne. After all, he's Batman, not that rich boy. It only helps the real brand if you expose imitators, right?

>Smarter than Batman
>Hides behind an easily hackable door and is then killed

That is true. In fact this kind of thinking is quite logical, going by Hugo's character development and how storylines like Transference left him off.
He's past the point of wanting to be Batman or even thinking he's the only one who deserves to be Batman. He IS Batman, and everyone else who disagrees is wrong.

I'm a marvelfag but boy did I love this game and asylum. I actually didn't see the Clayface twist coming, did you guys?

Weird fetishes are pretty much a prerequesite for becoming a Gotham rogue.

Crazy how on top of everything else, Hugo did Hush's gimmick at least two decades earlier and was more successful at it, even
