Batman: Arkham Knight - Season of Infamy: Beneath the Surface (Killer Croc)

[@GojiBoiEarth1964]

Let’s be real, Croc is probably one of, if not has one of the most tragic backstories in the franchise: •He was born with a skin disease that causes him to mutate overtime •His mother died after giving birth •His father disowned him •He was abused and beaten by his aunt •He was bullied at school due to his looks •He was then pushed to the point where he devours his aunt •And he was tortured and experimented on

[@praveeshachapman677]

The most tragic part of the backstory, for me, is how at one point, when he joined the circus, he actually felt accepted for once and felt like he had friends and family, but even that bit of joy was taken away from him when some of the people of Gotham killed the other circus members. Had croc continued as part of the circus, he never would've become a criminal.

[@doanlinh9525]

well, one thing i don't really like the design of Crocs in AK is why the developer cut his legs short, compare to the previous design in Arkham series?

​@WaspBlade04 Well after Waylon probably mauled Jonathan can you blame him

[@arthurfleck629]

@@MartianWasp100% agreed, given the fact most people on earth aren’t psychopaths or sociopaths, most criminals of all kinds also aren’t psychopaths or sociopaths. The vast majority of criminals, no matter how hardcore and far they’re willing to go to achieve the goals, still have limits, morals, principles, a personal code. An excellent example is how few criminals are willing to put children in harms way, or worse actually harm children, they’d prefer to die than do so, just as Tony Montana did in Scarface. Living with that in the back of your mind is a fate infinitely worse than death. Almost all criminals only seek a better life, they’re disadvantaged, often from the very beginning, raised in awful environments and conditions with few if any positive role models, oftentimes they don’t even have a single parent in their lives and are deprived of what they need. We’re only animals at the end of the day, eventually we lash out at the world and attempt to improve our circumstances by almost any means necessary, and sometimes the ways we do so are the only ways we know how to do so, due to no other apparent opportunities and/or being raised that way by terrible people. Tragic events and circumstances are what create the majority of criminals, it’s always been that way and it always will be unless we as a society work to change it, investing the time, effort, and resources is essential for this purpose.

I love Cash's character development on Croc. He lost his hand due to him and its reasonable he's vicious towards him in the first game. But in the final, despite Croc getting the same treatment, Cash feels remorseful on what happened to Croc. He's not as harsh towards him in his capture. I'd say that's something. Shows progress.

[@blackdemonknight]

Yeah but he is still a little angry over what Croc did gicen that Croc losing a hand isn't a big deal when it can grow back but I agree it does show Cash is possibly seeing the man who is behind the monsterous features.

Actually really loved this level. I honestly have never thought of Killer Croc as a villain. He's just a victim of a very very bad situation where he is pushed to do bad things to survive. Not only that but he was also abused all of his childhood by almost everyone he encountered, which considering his power, would definitely require great restraint, which he had to eventually get rid of in order to survive. Seeing Croc as the victim in this DLC was pretty cool, and the character of Croc is definitely one that may even have a road to redemption unlike many other Batman villains.

[@jasonkelly1692]

I love how Rocksteady portrayed Croc's mutations in a comic accurate manner instead of taking the lazy way out and saying he has a 'skin condition' like everyone who has NEVER READ A COMIC WITH KILLER CROC IN IT have said. It's not a skin condition. Silver age Croc claimed it was because he looked mostly human. In the Knightfall arc (AND YES THIS IS A CANON EXPLANATION AND NOT A THEORY), Bane broke Croc's arm which triggered his metagene further (YES CROC IS A METAHUMAN) and caused him to acquire a healing factor. The healing factor can, well, heal him, but it also worsens his genetic atavism and makes him delve further into a mutated state. There was this whole comic arc where Hush infected Croc with a virus that aggrevated his metagene further and caused him to grow a tail and resemble the Arkham Knight rendition, too. Then he was cured by it by a scientist, but he still started mutating because the virus left his cells continually aggravated. THIS is Killer Croc.

[@trozzabee5673]

While I agree in AA it says he was bullied by his alcoholic Aunt because of his skin codition

[@jasonkelly1692]

Trozza Bee Anything can be defined as a 'condition'. If I have a hang nail, I can call it a 'nail condition'. Scales qualify as a skin condition but that doesn't negate any of the facts I stated. He clearly doesn't just have a rash.

[@ASR-Ansori]

Funny how you mention the skin condition not being a thing but him being a mutant is, then going on about how people that talk about the skin condition thing are wrong, yet they pretty much say that in the first issues that feature him. Bane breaking his arm didn't trigger anything, he was a guinea pig for scientists back on Arkham, and became more inhuman each time, sometimes even losing the ability to speak and other time behaving like a complete animal. The Hush virus was just that, a virus, it didn't aggrevate nothing, it mutated him into a more crocodile-like creature. I mean have you read his origins for either the original or New 52 universes? Neither talks about a mutation. This character right here isn't Killer Croc, it's Killer Croc on Lizard steroids.

[@jasonkelly1692]

A S R New 52 is not what Rocksteady is basing this after I have read his origin for the original, and it was RETCONNED, as I stated, to not just be a skin condition. It was a skin condition in the golden age because they wanted to be grounded in reality.

[@aceyspud551]

It's really sad how everyone in the Arkham series, whatever their alignment, calls Croc "it", "animal" and "thing".

[@arnowisp6244]

Goes to show how almost far gone he is. How, objectively speaking, that's what he is now.

[@chaa6144]

They also call him, "subject" and "creature" which is saddening. It seems only Batman considers him human as he uses the pronoun "he" and sometimes calls him by his name "Jones".

[@jamesvach6698]

People have come to see him as an animal and Jones seems to have come to see himself that way too. You get treated like a dumb animal or a monster long enough and eventually that can be what you become. Killer Croc seems to think that if he cannot be made "normal" then he will be forever separated from the rest of the human race sadly not without reason. One thing I notice is that even in Arkham Origins (Please humor me, I think it is canon to this series even if it is not the same) Batman seems to show pity for Croc when talking to Alfred about him noting that growing up the way he did could not have had a positive effect on him. While I condemn his cannibalism and crimes, I feel that to a great extent he is what the world has made him, at least this version of him.

[@danielwood6833]

Gotta say with Croc’s scaley armour, ferocity and strength this boss fight was really disappointing (not just cos it’s recycled from Albert King’s who was just a boxer) Your goal is to literally fight everyone but Croc and then just mash the attack button and casually press counter when it says so. Given Croc’s state he is DEFINITELY a boss Batman shouldn’t beat with fists. This should’ve taken strategy, used the environment and possibly used a chase sequence. Why not have Aron Cash and the police involved, Cash could finally get payback or maybe die fighting Croc or saving Batman from him or something. But no, it’s just a fist fight and it’s a shame because Waylon Jones could be portrayed as Batman’s MOST tragic villain but they barely give any emotion towards that and at the end of this series of games, in their last confrontation Croc just gets beat up and locked away again

[@Cheddar_Wizard]

im calling bullshit on the fight. in arkham origins, years before this, crocs skin was thick enough to be resistant to high-powered rifles. batman DID beat him, but with the help of giant explosive containers. now hes bigger, stronger, AND has a healing factor? punches, no matter how strong or the training, are gonna even phase him. i dont care how good nightwing and batman are theres no way they ever could have won in that situation. pt 2 when he was being escorted by the gcpd and cash, his tail was free and he coulda easily whipped all of them with it and gotten away, jumped off the roof into the water and survived. maybe with some injuries, but he has a fucking healing factor so...

Ik this is late asf but tbh they both studied crocs fighting style over the years arkham Batman and nightwing are peak human asf lowball they mastered all forms of Martial arts known to man and all types of escape artistry and Batman specifically Is in a op ass suit so tbh croc gets folded out of water easily

[@TheJuggerClutch]

@@rawwej i mean, at a point none of that matters if you're up against an hulk-sized, heavily armored, sentient beast with a healing factor. given everything it takes to restrain him its just a hard sell for me that 2 humans can just punch him until he's tired if he's only gotten stronger/more durable over the years. the dual predator takedowns with robin in the main story are pretty brutal though, those definitely could do it. ig I wish they would have done a dual stealth mission for batman and his OG kid nightwing, this woulda been a cool chance to do it. kind of a mix between origins final bane fight, (too powerful to fight head-on) and the robin/batman dual stealth from the studio mission. was definitely still good to see croc again tho

[@teamtruk8881]

Always loved Croc with a tail. Don't know why though. Maybe it's because a more monstrous appearance really brings out the contrast between his human side and the way everyone has acted towards him in the past; treating him like this man-eating, disgusting, aquatic reptile with no semblance to mankind so much that finally . . . he becomes one. I think he finds comfort in conforming to what everything thinks he really is. Living the dark, green waters below the city, a true monster lurking in the shadows. I think he likes to think of himself that way, always going into detail when reminding Batman of how he will devour him and everything he holds dear. Occasionally, glimpses of his fleeting humanity will seep through the cracks. Like here, when he stands up for those who have also been similarly abused and mistreated. Or when he holds doctors hostage so that they can "fix" him. But ultimately . . . his wild, animal instincts take over and he just vows to eat everyone. But Bruce will always call him a "he." And it's one of the many reasons I love Batman.

[@everettcrede]

Beneath The Surface was a really unique side mission. I love how all the Arkham stories match with their missions. In Asylum he was the predator, the immovable animal that was gluttonous & violent. In this one he is the victim of animal testing (Hence why I'm against animal testing). He wanted revenge but Batman knew Waylon had to be apprehending for killing innocent people on the airship. I don't blame the guards & doctors they are only doing what they were told to support their families. It's the warden that was the prime problem. My prediction is that Ranken tried experimenting with Gorilla Grodd & tried weaponizing his condition before they apprehend Waylon Jones.
