We talked about the prisoners of The Raft from the marvel universe, but today, we’re
going to be discussing another prison, from the DC universe.
This place has held some very dangerous individuals over the years, and no, I’m not talking
about Arkham, although some people on this list have been to both.
It’s like staying at a hotel for them, you don’t always stay at the same one, you change
it up every once in a while.
I wonder if they always put them back in the same room, or I mean, cell.
Hey guys, Welcome to Top 10 Nerd.
I’m your host David Raff and today we’re going to be talking about The Top 10 Most
Dangerous Inmates in Blackgate Prison.

where they will kindly explain why you should subscribe to Top 10 Nerd, in a perfectly non
threatening way, and if you still don’t want to subscribe after that, then that is
perfectly okay.
Absolutely no pressure.
At Number 10, Sasha Bordeaux.
Sasha, was Bruce Wayne's former bodyguard.
She was sentenced to Blackgate after her and Bruce were accused of killing Vesper Fairchild.
Now, you might just think oh man, what can a bodyguard do against dangerous criminals,
well folks, she not only had extensive training from the secret service, Checkmate and wait
for it, BATMAN HIMSELF.
So you don't need to worry, she can definitely take care of herself.
At Number 9, The Riddler.
Edward Nigma, also known as the villainous Riddler.
Here I am going to be talking about his time as a Blackgate Prisoner during the Batman:
Arkham Game Series.
In those games, first known as Edward Nashston, he was a member of the GCPD’s Cyber Crime
Division.
Later on, he started trying to figure out who The Batman was, thus narrowing down his
search to either Bruce Wayne or Harvey Dent.
He also used informants to hide pieces of blackmail information about the city's worst
criminals so he could watch the city collapse.
He did all this under the alias of Enigma.
He was later caught and sent to Blackgate.
He later changed his name to Edward Nigma for his obsession with puzzles and eventually
went under the name, The Riddler.
Number 8, Black Mask.
Here I am also talking about Black Masks time at Blackgate during the Arkham Games.
In those games, specifically Batman: Arkham Origins, Black Mask, a ruthless crime lord,
who is skilled in hand to hand combat, and a criminal mastermind, allegedly orchestrates
a major criminal breakout from Blackgate.
Which causes a number of Batman's greatest foes to be released.
And, here’s the kicker, it’s on Christmas Eve.
Just when you think Batman might have a day off, someone has to ruin it for him.
Black Mask also puts a $50 million bounty on Batman's head (Where later on, we find
out it was actually joker).
Sneaky Joker, always has some sort of crazy plan.
So, now Batman has to deal with all these villains specifically coming after him, because
they all wanna get their hands on all that moula.
Number 7, Deadshot.
Now, Deadshot was a prisoner of Blackgate during the Arkham games.
Now I know, I am drawing heavily from that specific continuity, but as we go further
down the list that will start to change.
Back to the main point, Deadshot was a prisoner of Blackgate.
Deadshot is a master marksman and assassin.
He was in the marines, and his amazing aim is what earned him the name Deadshot.
He rarely misses his intended target.
He has also been a member of the Suicide Squad.
During the events of the game, he’s one of the main assassins hired to take out Batman.
He even saves Batman from Deathstroke, but before you go out and start making those matching
best friend bracelets for Batman and Deadshot, he doesn't save him out of the kindness of
his own heart, it's just because he wants to be the one to kill Batman and get the money
for himself.
Man.
I was really hoping those two would turn over a new leaf.
Number 6, Killer Croc.
Again, also from the Arkham Games.
Killer Croc was one of the criminals released from the Blackgate breakout.
He stayed behind and let Batman come to him.
He was also one of the 8 assassins specifically to take out Batman.
Now, Killer Croc was born with a genetic mutation that gave him green scaly skin, sharp teeth
and claws.Which always made him feel like an outcast as a kid.
He was constantly bullied and harassed for how he looked.
Aside from his looks, he is also very enhanced, with super strength, speed, and is great in
the water, which is where he tries to take most of his enemies.
So for future reference, I wouldn’t want to go to one of his pool parties.
Number 5, Bane.
Everytime I think of Bane now, my mind immediately thinks of Tom Hardy from The Dark Knight Rises.
He was a terrifying man, but in the best possible way.
Bane is a character that has been in Blackgate both in the games, and the comics.
In the comics he was sent there after an altercation with everyone's favorite Bat.
That’s Batman, for those who didn’t know.
They fought, and even though Bane was enhanced from all the Venom, Batman had a new battlesuit,
and he cut the hoses feeding Bane his venom supply and then Batman proceeded to beat the
living daylights out of him and he got sent to Blackgate.
Though, don’t feel bad for him, he’s still the guy that broke Batman’s back, and he’s
very very proud of that accomplishment.
Number 4, Catwoman.
I stopped myself from starting off this segment by saying meow.
I count that as a huge win, because as you guys are well aware by now, cheesy humor is
my thing.
Oh man, the urge is rising.
Selina Kyle, now here’s a character with a lot of history, especially with Batman himself.
She got sent to Blackgate when Batman found her stealing data from a Gotham City building.
Before they fight, a DEO team shows up and wants to take her in themselves.
Batman warns them to stay back, because Catwoman is very skilled.
She is a master of stealth, combat, agility, and physical memory.
Meaning, she can pick up on things insanely quickly.
And once she knows a move, she remembers it for life.
The DEO continues to argue, but during that time Selina escapes.
Batman eventually finds her and the two duke it out, Batman ultimately wins but Catwoman
has the last laugh because she uplaods the data.
But I guess Batman also laughs because he puts her in Blackgate for it.
So in a way, they both had a good last laugh.
Number 3, Deathstroke.
Now here's a guy that doesn't need any introduction.Ok, and on to Number 2…..I’m just kidding.
I’m still gonna talk about him.
Deathstroke, also known as Slade Wilson is an enhanced assassin who was experimented
on by the US government.
Because of that, he has enhanced strength, agility, endurance, intellect, and is a master
in hand to hand combat.
He is also one of the assassins hired to kill Batman.
He doesn’t succeed and at the end of the game is a prisoner of Blackgate prison.
But I wouldn’t count on him staying there long.
He’ll escape.
Bad guys always do.
Number 2, The Joker.
The Joker.
One of the most iconic villains of all time.
Seriously, you don’t get many villains like him.
There's a reason so many high caliber actors want to play him.
I mean both Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix got oscars for their portrayal of him.
Joker is also one of the criminals who has been imprisoned in Blackgate both in comics
and the games.
In the comic, Devil’s Advocate, he is sentenced to death at Blackgate for his crimes, but
of course it doesn’t end up working out and he’s later sent back to his favorite
place in the entire world, Arkham Asylum.
In the games, it’s revealed he’s actually the one that put the hit on Batman, not Black
Mask, and Joker was essentially behind everything, which ultimately doesn’t sit too well with
the real Black Mask.
Number 1, Batman.
Yes, Batman has been to Blackgate, well more specifically Bruce Wayne.
As I mentioned earlier, Bruce and his bodyguard Sasha were both arrested for murder of Vesper
Fairchild.
Even though they were both innocent.
Regardless, Bruce being in there automatically makes him the most dangerous person in Blackgate.
And no one knows it.
But we all know how dangerous he really is, because he’s freakin BATMAN.
I wouldn't want to be one of the criminals who makes the mistake of crossing paths with
him.
Superheroes in prison storylines are so cool.
It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it's usually awesome.
So there you have it guys!
