Greetings nerdy list aficionados and we are back with another list arkham asylum inmates
you wouldn’t want to room with. I way overthought this one like are you a villain or just an
average joe cause some of these people could be good for escape or teamup or even hunching
purposes so this is more of a they’re really annoying or dangerous and operating under
the idea that you’re there the weak Arkham magically has good security. I’m Sasha and
these are the Top 10 Arkham Asylum Inmates You Wouldn't Want to Room With - Part 2 Let’s
do this
Number 10 - Harley Quinn – Rooming with any iteration of Harley Quinn would be really
awful. So classic era she’s going to be pining for the joker the entire time and will
use you if possible to facilitate an escape or I dunno offer you up to her puddin’ modern
ear is taking the zany madcap Harley who’s fun and makes pop culture references and is
not fully connected to reality ok but how fun would that be 24 hours a day. Let’s
have a sleepover I’m Harley fricken quinn plus she’s also a psychiatrist so she might
start trying to diagnose you all of these things are reasons that maybe another roommate
would be better I mean none would be best no one should have a roommate at Arkham but
hey maybe there were some budget cuts. Harley is low cause at the same time, she could be
kinda fun and you could at least have a whole intelligible conversation. I think Kelly should
have put the Riddler higher can you imagine being asked riddles all the time and not even
good ones.
Number 9 - Jason Todd – Yes Jason Todd the second robin turned red hood was in arkham
for a bit placed there for his own good and protection ummm we’ve all seen arkham right.
So rooming with Jason ginger Jason that would be tense. When Jason came back to life at
first he was very intense and bitter plus Lazarus pitty so kinda unhinged. I wouldn’t
want to have to deal with that also if you’re in there cause you did something bad you could
die he killed people while he was in there it was a problem. You just want a chill roommate
not someone who’s going to complain 24 7 about how his father figure who didn’t kill
the guy who killed him. You can only hear the same story so many times.
Number 8 - The Mad Hatter – Jervis Tetch he loves alice in wonderland and quotes it
all the time plus he practices mind control and if you get mind controlled you have to
roll play a character from alice in wonderland so I hope you like alice in wonderland cause
you’re going to be hearing a lot about it. Also would you ever feel really firmly secure
rooming with someone who so causally bends people to his will and hacks into their minds
yes hacks this is tech based mind control. He first appeared in 1948 in batman 49. He’s
been around for quite awhile and well being so on brand it works to a point but again
the having to share a cell with thing. There are other books out there Jervis.
Number 7 – Two Face serious question cause this varies from depiction to depiction does
two face get to keep his coin, he can’t make decisions without it so like what he’s
going to eat whether or not he’s going to murder his roommate, you. Two face has quite
the struggle with what constitutes justice and his split personality is visible on his
face. It’s not even a sometimes the other person is in control they just are both battling.
I can see two face being a cell mate who alternates between talking a lot and then brooding and
if he has the coin can you imagine the stress oh great which Harvey am I getting today please
not the bad one. Still I have one question I’ve always wanted to ask two face where
does he get his clothes tailored not asking for a friend. Asking for me.
Number 6 - Calendar Man – Calendar man has been around since Detective Comics #259 (September
1958) and initially he was a villain who committed outrageous holiday themed crimes and then
in the modern era he now is a meta human who actually ages and is reborn with the seasons
how awful would that be if you came in at the end of winter beginning of spring and
the person was just molting, you’re in the cell with a skin sack and then he remerges
and he’s dripping and moist like a newborn and then you have to listen to his plans about
holiday themed capers. And then have to wait to execute them but really it’s the molting.
That would just be disconcerting even if you’re not really easily squicked out then you still
have to watch the person age rapidly and die in front of you like that must make you think
about your mortality. The dark march of time unstoppable unyielding! Must commit crimes
only around holidays!
Number 5 - Psycho Pirate – So the psycho pirate has an interesting history in DC post
crisis on infinite earths he was the only person to remember the multiverse a fact that
drove him insane he was essentially catatonic for a time and kept in a padded cell where
at Arkham cause everybody is shipping their villains off to Gotham for Batman to deal
with. So he would sometimes have flashes of lucidity where he would try to tell people
what had been which of course would be disconcerting you know you’re living your life and someone
is telling you about all these other realities or you know just sitting starring into space
still wearing the mask btw. Also people come to the cell to try an unlock him as the key
so enjoy that plus if you go post this time period new 52 style he can manipulate emotions.
That’s not safe to be around how could you trust anything at all. Especially him.
Number 4 - James Gordon Jr he first appeared in Batman #407 in 1987 and is very different
from his heroic sister no james Gordon jr is a vicious psychopathic monster with a chip
on his shoulder. He had all the classic traits he was killing animals as a child you know
danger signs also he was kidnapped by mobsters a s child who were trying to get back at his
commissioner father so that’s never good for the psyche. James enjoys being a psychopath
and when put on medication actually modified it so it would increase his violent tendencies
he is cold, patient and narcassitically charming no you would not want to room with him. He’s
the sort who could get close to you charm you make it seem like it was all ok and next
thing you know knife in the back or probably the front cause he likes to watch. This is
a cellmate who would delight in hurting you just cause. Depressing stuff.
Number 3 - Lock Up – Lock up is another character who first debuted on the animated
in the episode of the same name. He was a guard at arkham who took things too far at
least in bruce’s eyes cause bruce of the animated verse has compassion for the foes
he faces and genuinely hopes for their rehabilitation so when he found out about he organized a
hearing which revealed lyle bolton’s true tendencies and he got fired but he felt that
it was far too dangerous to have arkham run the way it was and became the vigilante lock
up. Well Gotham only has room for 1 vigilante or vigilantes who are wearing bat symbols
plus lock up was pretty instense. He would end up locked up in arkham himself which thrilled
him cause now he could keep an eye on things from the inside. So can you imagine rooming
with that riding the snitch patrol snitches get stiches. You’re allied with the person
who is trying to stop everyone else from breaking out by default plus you have to listen to
monologues about what a cess pit Arkham is which I mean is true but do you want to always
be hearing about it.
Number 2 - Poison Ivy – I see some of you I’d love to room with ivy she’s hot you
know what else she is toxic and manipulative and misanthropic and at this point in time
at least partially controlled by the green. Ivy enjoys seeing the amount of control she
can exert over people how much she can bend them to her will if she can make you a mindless
love struck slave she will. She also can create poisons very easily so maybe you’ll be the
decoy to get the guards come running, not a fun time. Also if she seduces you nothing
is happening except her being amused at how pathetic you are and I mean unless that’s
your thing this would be one long rooming session. How does it go if you eat plants
is she cool with that you’re going to have to hear about how you’re killing the earth
don’t think you’re not going to hear about that.
Number 1 – Scarecrow – This would be horrific and I’m not sure you would survive it. Jonathan
Crane is a sadist who loves inflicting fear and he’s been doing it long before he had
any fancy fear toxins or an archetypal costume. He’s also a psychiatrist so he knows how
to get into people’s heads and sniff out their fears. And once he finds them he likes
to play with them see how far he can push. Always experimenting to what end who knows.
But one thing is for certain if you were his roommate you would be an unwilling guinea
pig. And he’s not huge on his patients surviving I mean it’s fine but it’s not a requirement.
So those were 10 more people you wouldn’t want to room with I mean you need your own
cell for your own plans hench for no one. I’m Sasha
