He had left his belt in the Batmobile, and The Riddler had stolen his keys and locked it. So he was stuck with the rusty knife. :)Quote:

I guess it's just that the schemes Ra's pulls off are usually much more widespread than the Joker's. This is the same guy who infected Gotham City with an extremely nasty and deadly strain of ebola, and also figured out a way to take away humanity's ability to understand language briefly. His main goal is global genocide. Couple that with the fact that he knows who Batman really is, and, well...
Just my $.02...
Joker.
Mad Hatter, then Scarecrow.
Actually, I like Wesley Willis best... I heard he whupped Batmans ass.
Yeah, but Birdman whupped his ass.
wow... i started a full on debate! i'm impressed with myself! someone congratulate the newbie! hehe
anyways, spike posted the most shocking thing in this thread so far... he wins a prize... i didn't read that one... the riddler made a baby swallow a ping-pong ball which forced batman to slice the baby's throat open... can you even write about that in a freakin comic?! hehe
i really hope that sin tzu goes from this upcoming video game and makes his way into the comics... if he does, i guarantee you that he will be even more dastardly than the riddler... mock me if you will but if you've read anything about sin tzu's past, i think you'll see that he has all the makings of a truly wicked villain.
disagree with me? (Join the club!) but read this first

About Sin Tzu, Cunning Master in the Deadly Arts of War
Sin Tzu is the most brilliant and methodical of all of Batman’s foes. He is not criminally insane – at least not in the classical sense, for he does not lust for money, revenge, or hatch twisted plots for the master detective to unravel. Rather, he is an arrogant conqueror who prides himself in conquering worthy opponents who have never been beaten before.
A discarded child, Sin Tzu was adopted by a modern thuggee cult which plied its trade of religious mayhem and robbery throughout Southeast Asia. Once, when pursued by police, the cult hid out in the caves of Chulin, where Sin Tzu discovered an enormous necropolis which not only contained thousands of statue warriors, but the mystical/military texts of ancient warlords. Studying this wisdom, he learned not only the military arts, but the lost knowledge of Mehta-Sua: the channelling of mental energy into physical energy and vice versa in order to exert a nearly hypnotic mind control which can turn weak-minded rabble into an effective fighting force.
His solitary studies complete, Sin Tzu set about building an insurgent army of fanatics who carried out his lust for conquest. Often acting behind puppet politicians, Sin Tzu conquered large swaths of Cynna, Vet Nak and carried out the brutal invasion of Unglong. Sin Tzu is a strategist and warrior, not a despot. When he accomplishes his objectives in warfare he vanishes from the scene and gives no heed to the chaos that follows.
During months of solitary meditation, he plots his next move. Then, he appears in an unexpected place, with a new army, to wage war upon the innocent.
Always on the lookout for a worthy adversary, Sin Tzu heard legends of the Dark Knight of Gotham City and set out to defeat him on his own turf and terms. Realizing that he could raise an army of Batman’s enemies, Sin Tzu arranged to have himself captured by covert international operatives and taken to Arkham Asylum for clinical analysis. Once at Arkham, he not only enlisted members of Batman’s Rogues Gallery - after all, in asking them to fight Batman, he was only asking them to do what they wanted to do anyway - but began hatching a grand strategy for the conquest of Gotham City, including the use of an army of common criminals from Stonegate Prison.
As well as a being a grand strategist, Sin Tzu is a master martial artist. Keeping his body perfectly fit with a rigorous exercise regimen and an ascetic lifestyle which forsakes him all pleasures of the flesh through an ancient form of self-torture, he is more than a match for the Caped Crusader in one-on-one combat. Let the battle for Gotham City begin…
I honestly think Sin Tzu is kinda dumb, just from appearances.
The basic problem with Sin Tzu is that he borrows so much from past characters. He is basically an amalgamation of Bane/Mad Hatter/Ra's Al Ghul. The storyline looks to be a twist on the Knightfall arc.
I view him as a replacement for Ra's Al Ghul, now that he is supposedly going to die. Dependant on the fans liking the Sin Tzu character, he possibly will be included in the official continuity.
The only thing I dread, is that Sin Tzu will know Bats' identity. Based on the blurb above, he seems to be the type of character who needs to know how to deal with those he wishes to conquer.
Anyways, looking forward to renting the game and seeing how this story unfolds.
Last I heard, the Riddler knew who Bats was, too...
DUM DUM DUUUUUM!
