Batman: Assault on Arkham | comment |
Batman: Assault on Arkham is a 2014 animated film from the DC Universe Animated Original Movies; it is based on the Batman: Arkham Series universe, and takes place within said universe after the events of Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate.After The Riddler steals top-secret information from Amanda Waller, she summons Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Frost, Black Spider, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang to form the latest iteration of "Task Force X" — better known as the Suicide Squad. Their mission, whether they want to accept it or not: infiltrate Arkham Asylum and steal back the information from the Riddler. Getting in proves easy for the Squad; when the Joker gets involved and Batman starts investigating, however, getting out alive becomes an altogether different matter.Kevin Conroy, Troy Baker, C.C.H. Pounder, and Nolan North reprise their respective roles from Batman: Arkham Series as Batman, The Joker, Amanda Waller, and Penguin. Other voice talents tapped for the film include Hynden Walch reprising her role on The Batman as Harley Quinn (replacing Arleen Sorkin [Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: Arkham Asylum] and Tara Strong [Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman: Arkham Knight]), Conroy and Pounder's fellow DC Animated Universe voice actor Jennifer Hale reprising the role of Killer Frost, Neal McDonough (Desperate Housewives) as Deadshot (replacing Chris Cox [Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Origins]), Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds) as the Riddler (replacing Wally Wingert [Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Origins, Batman: Arkham Knight]), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) as Black Spider, Greg Ellis (Dragon Age) as Captain Boomerang, and John DiMaggio (Futurama) as King Shark.You can watch a trailer for the film on YouTube. You can find the character page for this film under Miscellaneous in the Rogue's Gallery.Following the reveal of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which reveals complete redesigns/personality overhauls of both King Shark and Captain Boomerang, it is very likely Assault on Arkham falls into Canon Discontinuity. | |

Anyone Can Die: It isn't called a suicide mission for nothing. KGBeast, King Shark, and Black Spider definitely don't make it out alive, they never showed the body of Killer Frost or The Joker,note though given it's an interquel, he doesn't die yet as he appeared in Asylum and City and Waller herself may or may not have been killed by Deadshot at the end of the movie. | |

I Am a Humanitarian: King Shark is found at the beginning of the movie in a house. He has several bodies stripped and hung from the ceiling like slabs of meat at a butcher shop, plus a bathtub full of blood he was bathing in, heavily implying he was feeding on them. He also attempts to eat Killer Frost upon first meeting her. He also pulls an Arkham guard underwater after gaining entry into the asylum; blood floats to the surface a bit later. | |

Exactly What I Aimed At | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_17122b19 | comment |
Exactly What I Aimed At: Batman aims a grapple at Zsasz while the latter is holding a woman hostage, hitting the wall behind him. Zsasz silently gloats, but then Batman gives it a good tug and takes him out with a chunk of wall. This is a nice Shout-Out to that moment in the opening fight from Batman Returns, where he does this to a clown holding Selina Kyle hostage. Deconstructed minutes before, when Captain Boomerang misses a guard, gets called on it, goes "Wait for it..." and the boomerang curves around and does manage to hit the guard... but not before he has time to call for backup, which causes them quite a bit of trouble throughout the rest of the movie. An ambiguous version with Harley's attempt to kill the Joker. She fires a "stray" bullet at a junction box during the Gun Struggle, exposing a wire and enabling Deadshot to tap into the security lines. But several shots she fires directly into the Joker's cell also expose a cable enabling him to escape. Was she trying to kill him, or did she help her Puddin' escape like she claims afterwards? | |

Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailers reveal that Joker gets his hands on a dirty bomb and makes it seem like that's the reason the Squad goes to Arkham. In fact, the Squad is there to (supposedly) steal a flash drive containing the names of every potential member of the Suicide Squad, while Batman is the one trying to find the bomb. | |

The Cameo: Bane, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and the Scarecrow are seen in Arkham when the Joker opens all the cells. Earlier in the film, Zsasz is briefly seen holding a woman hostage before being taken out by Batman. This taking place in the Arkham setting, he's dispatched with a single hit. Penguin also has a minor role earlier in the film. Alfred briefly appears when Batman communicates with him after dealing with Zsasz. He's notably missing his mustache. | |

But there's No Honor Among Thieves, of course. Joker is even worse for getting into the helicopter and trying to kill the pilot, but he has the excuse of being insane. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: The Riddler may have some degree of success going up against lone superheroes (especially those who make vows to never kill) but for some reason decides it's a good idea to antagonize Amanda Waller, a government agent who can easily Google all of his riddles on the spot and has more than enough resources to trace his location and send a heavily armored SWAT team after him in a very short amount of time. The only reason Riddler even survives is because he's saved by Batman at the last second. | |

When Harley flips out and unloads a pistol at the Joker, she aims through one of the air holes and fires several times, creating a slight hole in the wall. Joker later discovers that this spot is exactly where the door wiring runs. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The film has several of these. The scene when Harley bursts into a doll shop in search of a Chatty Boo Boo doll bears a resemblance to the scene where Catwoman bursts in and vandalizes Shreck's Department Store in Batman Returns. Cobblepot eating raw fish is another reference to the same movie. Also from Batman Returns: Batman saves a female hostage from Zsasz by shooting his grapple-gun's hook into the brick wall behind them before retracting it so a chunk of the wall whacks the psycho in the back of the head. The sex scene between Harley and Deadshot and their relationship in this movie is a reference to a similar sex scene between them and their relationship in the Suicide Squad title from the New 52. The rivalry between Deadshot and Captain Boomerang comes from the same title, too. When Harley is rooting through one of Joker's crates in the evidence locker, she tosses out some masks based on the ones that Joker's bank robbers wore in the opening of The Dark Knight (one of which is itself a Mythology Gag that refers to Batman TV show). She also tosses out a Laughing Fish. The Batman costume Joker supposedly wore during the train heist resembles the Batsuit from the original animated series. When Waller taunts Batman at the end of the film, she declares, "Checkmate"—which is another subdivision of Task Force X. She also paraphrases The Joker in the same scene. When Penguin and his goons draw their guns on Harley, it's Killer Frost who snarks, "Wuh wuh," sounding like the Penguin's chortle from the 1966 series. | |

Non-Indicative Name: A name like Batman: Assault on Arkham would suggest that Batman is the focus. In reality, he's on screen for maybe twenty-to-thirty minutes max and spends most of that time as the Hero Antagonist to the Suicide Squad, who are the actual stars of the film, with Deadshot as the de facto leading man. | |

It Works Better with Bullets | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_2f187e89 | comment |
It Works Better with Bullets: When he's held at gunpoint by The Joker, Deadshot confidently states that Joker has emptied the magazine and, once he fires and nothing happens, will get his face beaten in. Joker takes the time to check the barrel (by pointing it at his face), then fires it into the ceiling, giving Deadshot enough time to sucker punch him and steal back his Arm Cannon. | |

Ruder and Cruder: The film contains words such as "shit" and "asshole" that were never used in the Batman: Arkham Series video games, which only contain mild profanity. It also contains scenes of Harley Quinn and Killer Frost nude (albeit with Barbie Doll Anatomy) as well as exploding heads, and there is no gore (aside from the occasional blood spatter) or nudity in the games. | |

Batman Gambit | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Not from the Trope Namer himself (though posing as Black Spider might count), but from Amanda Waller. Batman even calls her on it at the end of the film. Waller knew the convicts would go rogue once in Arkham, and was counting on that as a diversion for a lone assassin to go after The Riddler. She knew if she sent the whole team with the objective of killing The Riddler, it would arouse their suspicions as to why. However, despite "breaking a lot of eggs to make an omelette", Batman points out the flaw in her plans by calling her "a messy cook", as Riddler got away. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Since the film takes place before the events of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, any character who appears in either game is naturally going to survive. This means that out of Task Force X at least Harley and Deadshot will make it out alive, Waller's plan to have Nygma assassinated will naturally fail, and the Joker survives his Disney Villain Death at the end, with Waller even bringing up how the body hasn't been found. | |

Skewed Priorities: Defied by Batman. When he realizes that Joker and Harley have the bomb, he tells the Suicide Squad that he'll worry about them later because if he doesn't defuse the bomb, they're all dead. Deadshot gives him a look of Villain Respect before taking him up on that offer and running for it just as Joker releases the Arkham inmates. Played straight by the other squad members, however. They all fight each other to get to the escape helicopter or car, despite the fact that if they all work together, they could take advantage of Batman's Mercy Lead. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: This movie really plays Deadshot up as a Consummate Professional and leader of the Suicide Squad. Compare that to his status in the games as an optional encounter who, in Arkham City, is an Anti-Climax Boss taken out in a single sneak attack. The Joker's fighting ability varies drastically from adaptation to adaptation, but in the Arkham series he's generally been capable of extreme violence but folds pretty quickly against a competent opponent. In this film he proves highly skilled with guns, knives, and various improbable weaponry, and absolutely dominates in combat against anyone who isn't Batman, which is especially impressive since everyone he ends up fighting lacks the compunction against killing him that Batman has. | |

So Much for Stealth: Deadshot's plan is to make a "low profile" approach to the Intensive Treatment building.

Villain Protagonist: The Suicide Squad (who fit the protagonist role much better than Batman does) are all technically villains. They only work for Waller because she keeps them in line with an Explosive Leash. Some of them do have sympathetic sides—see Killer Frost's friendship with King Shark, Black Spider only targeting other criminals, and Deadshot's genuine love for his daughter—but they're still an unrepentant group of career criminals. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The Joker mentions having worked with Deadshot before. The Iceberg Lounge is shown, including the walkway balcony from which the Penguin will end up shooting at Batman a few years later. Bane is, again, dispatched by being dumped into the Gotham Bay. Likewise, Poison Ivy creates a giant flower and brainwashes a large number of the Arkham staff. And once the situation is under control, Batman leaves via Batwing to deal with another criminal that has escaped to Gotham. Several of the rooms seen in the game are identical to how they appear in Arkham Asylum (Without the obvious damage the game's event causes on them). In particular, the room containing the Joker's cell (Circular room lined with high security cell, electrifyable floor and a tower in the middle - in the game it is where Batman captures Harley Quinn), and the underground ruin room where the team re-joins Killer Frost and the Riddler. Some of the things Batman does refer to the Arkham games: In particular using his cloak to strike an opponent when facing a knife wielding mook, which is how the player deals with blade-enemies in the game. He also uses explosive gel, an Arkham mainstay, by shooting some in Bane's face and detonating it. The entire fight against Waller's team in the opening is very similar to the games' Freeflow combat system in its execution to the point where as mentioned above, some of the moves are lifted straight up from the games. Batman moving from foe to foe, vaulting over some, attacking them all - with the occasional gadget, till they are all down is very familiar to anyone who has played the games. Batman uses electric knuckle dusters, similar to the gauntlets he got off Electrocutioner's body in Arkham Origins. Batman rides the back of Bane for a moment, as he stumbles and strikes things and inmates blindly. Batman pulls this move against most large enemies in the games, including yes, at one point, Bane himself. He briefly uses a version of Detective Vision, which lets him see who is riding away from Arkham in the Helicopter. Unlike the games' it doesn't give him the outline of their skeletons, but does show their pulse and makes his eyes glow when he uses it like in the game. And of course, Batman uses his grapple gun to get to the Batwing, which is how he gets in it every time in Origins when it is not landed. | |

Canon Discontinuity | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_a32334b4 | comment |
Canon Discontinuity: Initially set in the universe of the Arkham games, a few details in later games would establish the movie's place in the setting as this. Black Spider and King Shark are both killed by their neck bombs in this film, but the Red Hood DLC in Arkham Knight would establish that the titular Red Hood kills him years after this game, while King Shark appears alive and well (with a more comic-accurate design and a completely different personality to boot) in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: The woman at the halfway house who thought it'd be a good idea to take away Harley Quinn's cellphone. When Amanda Waller tells the Suicide Squad that they've each been implanted with an Explosive Leash, KGBeast accuses her of bluffing by saying they wouldn't go through so much trouble just to kill them. Waller dares him to test her warning. He does. Predictably, this costs him his life. Ironically, Waller herself. Instead of just bribing a couple of Arkham guards to stealthily kill Riddler or something, she takes the Complexity Addiction route of abducting a group of known-dangerous rogues and supervillains, repeatedly demeaning and threatening them into submission, and causing a noisy riot throughout the place. Predictably, the surviving Squadmates eventually figure out how to escape their Explosive Leashes, she's now consequently on Batman's radar, and a fed-up Deadshot ultimately decides to invoke this trope's consequence on her. Arkham itself suffers this greatly in the climax. For such a dangerous facility which actually averts being a Cardboard Prison; not to mention only imprisoning the most dangerous criminals in the world, and there’s a freakin lever to open ALL OF THE DAMN CELLS. | |

Humongous-Headed Hammer: Harley Quinn's favourite weapon is a giant mallet whose head is large enough to cover her own head and chest. This trait is shared with most of the character's other depictions at the time, but this time it's actually an important plot point: The hammer's size makes it the perfect hiding place for the Joker's dirty bomb, which Batman spends most of the film trying to locate. | |

Gun Struggle | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_d73ecb18 | comment |
An ambiguous version with Harley's attempt to kill the Joker. She fires a "stray" bullet at a junction box during the Gun Struggle, exposing a wire and enabling Deadshot to tap into the security lines. But several shots she fires directly into the Joker's cell also expose a cable enabling him to escape. Was she trying to kill him, or did she help her Puddin' escape like she claims afterwards? | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: On seeing Harley has a gun and is firing on the Joker's bulletproof cell, the reaction of the guards is basically "Okay, let's break it up" like it was a drunken brawl. One guard just sits there, casually hoping that Harley really will kill the Joker. | |

Complexity Addiction | |
Batman: Assault on Arkham / int_f6b698ac | comment |
Ironically, Waller herself. Instead of just bribing a couple of Arkham guards to stealthily kill Riddler or something, she takes the Complexity Addiction route of abducting a group of known-dangerous rogues and supervillains, repeatedly demeaning and threatening them into submission, and causing a noisy riot throughout the place. Predictably, the surviving Squadmates eventually figure out how to escape their Explosive Leashes, she's now consequently on Batman's radar, and a fed-up Deadshot ultimately decides to invoke this trope's consequence on her. | |

The Joker's fighting ability varies drastically from adaptation to adaptation, but in the Arkham series he's generally been capable of extreme violence but folds pretty quickly against a competent opponent. In this film he proves highly skilled with guns, knives, and various improbable weaponry, and absolutely dominates in combat against anyone who isn't Batman, which is especially impressive since everyone he ends up fighting lacks the compunction against killing him that Batman has. | |

Pet the Dog: Deadshot brings out the best in Harley. When Joker prepares to shoot Deadshot, Harley gets in front of the Suicide Squad survivors and tells "Pudding" that she was manipulating them to free Joker. Later, when she has the option to shoot either of them, Harley decides to focus on flying the out-of-control helicopter instead so none of them die. Killer Frost also warms up quickly to King Shark, despite their rocky first impression, after he saves her when her parachute fails. She returns the favor by helping him through his fear of heights to cross a bridge by blindfolding him and guiding him across. | |

Shown Their Work: Despite Harley's competence at fighting, the moment she gets a hold of her mallet, Batman takes her down with one move. This might seem like classic Rule of Funny, until you remember that Joker hid what must have been a decently heavy bomb inside of it. Anyone who has done martial arts and has worked with weapons can and will tell you that changing the weight of a weapon you've spent a long time training with will affect your control of said weapon. | |
