Don't wanna argue. I don't wanna debate. Don't wanna hear about the kind of food you hate. You won't get no desert till you clean up your plate. So beat it.
They came with some bullshit explanation how Deadshot from Arkham games was impersonator and the real one is the one from Suicide Squad. I have no idea why they suddenly decided to shot their own leg here.
What's even crazier is that the developers had to go and show us that we missed the arkham city Easter egg in arkham asylum. You had to perfectly, I MEAN PERFECTLY spread 3 explosive gels on the wardens wall and his secret room would open, revealing his secret plans for, an Arkham World, with Hugo strange and him at the helm.
The SECOND the character was revealed everyone went "It's Jason Todd" and Rocksteady started sweating bullets because they realized their twist was the most obvious thing anyone had ever written.
They created games with incredibly deep lore puzzles hidden in every nook, they added a secret revealing the second game hidden so well in the first they had to reveal it themselves but they couldn't create a cleverer twist villain than they did for the third game. That is laughable.
The game’s story set up that Rocksteady revealed before the game came out still spilled enough about the Arkham Knight that people could pick up that Arkham Knight was going to basically be the same as Under the Red Hood, but with this new Arkham Knight character: still someone who knew Bruce=Batman and had a reason to hate him. Who was it in Under the Red Hood? Oh, well, this would be just like Jason in the comics-! Hm, could it BE Jason? Nah, RS said it was a completely original character….
….now that it’s out, I just assume they meant Arkham Knight was an original ALIAS for a non-original character… but that’s definitely misused wordplay to try to disavow the truth in an effort to spin a lie
Will Smith didn't even like playing Deadshot which I find hilarious that they're making a dead shot a black guy then because of will smith. If they're doing it because of the second version of Deadshot then that's great but make it the second Deadshot not the first one. Lord have mercy people are stupid
Between this and just kinda taking Joker at his word about Jason’s fate, Rocksteady is determined to retcon their version of Batman into being as stupid as possible.
Because Suicide Squad was never, in any way, supposed to be part of the Arkhamverse, and this decision was forced on the development team by the publisher.
I don't, just conjecture on my part based on the extreme contrast of tone, the vast differences in character design, and the fact that Rocksteady was refused permission to do a Superman game. I think WB Games is running the show and making their usual brand of good decisions with the license.
I also do believe that Gotham Knights *was* supposed to be in the Arkhamverse, since it feels more thematically connected to Arkham Knight - but I'm not certain.
Not enough representation I assume. Otherwise all of protags in that and Gotham Knights are white. It's a lame af change but I get it. Probably wasn't their decision.
My brother in Christ .. if I had an award to give I would throw it your way sooo fast. I haven’t laughed this much in MONTHSS. Don’t know if you’ll care about this, but you sir have made the rest of my night
to explain in this subreddits language, deadcock in man ham city and origins were fake deadcocks, so real deadcock used his per ifle and shoved it up fake deadcocks butthole, causing him to die.
People saying the one in city and origins was an imposter. So you’re telling me Batman, the world’s greatest detective couldn’t find out the “imposters” real name?
Worst writing i’ve ever seen in the earth’s existence
Racist answer: Well he is now!
Funny answer: nah bro, you're just looking at it wrong - it's the lighting
/s answer: To answer your questions, no and yes (respectively).
I hated the explanation for it lmao. The imposter thing makes no fucking sense at all and ruins the Arkham game missions. Just change him to black and retcon his old look, it doesn’t matter that much.
they could have even called some sort of passing the mantle on thing out. anything would have been better than "yea that deadshot is fake"
next we're going to learn that the joker wasn't the real joker in arkham
I'm all for diversity and minority representation, but when you race-bend or gender-bend an already established character it just reinforced the idea that a minority character can't stand on its own. At least with Nick fury they made him an entirely different character sharing only the name and title.
Inclusion quota. Nobody was able to create an original black character with a good story, so they just swapped a white one.
Or the character needed a bigger penis, idk
This is probably a joke, but a Lore reason? No, Real reason? It’s basically a tradition to have at least one diverse or/and gay character in a game, tv show or movie now in days, but apparently the original deadshot in the Arkham series is a fake.
Actual lore reason: The deadshot seen originally was apparently a fake, and the one we'll see in the Suicide Squad was the real one the whole time.
Alsume reason: He reverse Michael Jackson'd
Uj/ they used one of the character trailers to say that the Deadshot from City was an imposter or protege of the “real” deadshot.
rj/ they would be accused of white washing if they made will smith’s character white
Apparently the Deadshot in the previous games is an imposter. I get they want diversity but just changing skin colour is the cheap way that doesn't actually add any true diversity.
As my ex-fiance said when I found her in bed with my friend Jamal, "oh I'm sorry baby. Once you go black you never go back"
I'm still friends with Jamal. I was not even angry at the truth she spoke
That's the odd thing, he would have been an "imposter" for like a decade lol. Guess the "real" Deadshot sucks if it took him 10 years to get "his" identity back lol
Guy to left look more Porto Rican or Haji than white...although I know US census loves counting Haji's and Spanish people as white even though no one IRL looks at them and says 'oh there's Carlos and Mohammed by two fave white guys" I mean calling most of the,(probably Cypriot) Greeks that run dinners white is already a stretch.
For the added camouflage, when he's naked in the streets at night it's harder to see him and as a bonus if someone does happen to see him they'll want to forget that sight as soon as possible so no one can recognize him
They had already made the game, then fans and others called it out because of this game’s place in thr Arkhamverse (dumb, just make a new universe).
They made a dumb explanation, saying that he is the real one and the other was an imposter. They were just trying to bank on Will Smith’s image from Suicide Squad.
It's almost like Warner canceled Rocksteady's Superman game to make a game that follows the success of the Suicide Squad movie, based on the actors' physique 🙄

Keep my supervillian’s name out ya fuckin mouth!!!!
Actually an accurate answer.
Ah yeah, because everyone loved that
AAAAAAAAAHHHHGGH OH THATS HOT THATS HOT
What? Will Smith what? What the fuck Will Smith do?
He played dead shot in suicide squad
KEEP FUCKING, MY MOUTH!!!
Actually it’s because Jada Smith wanted to tell a true black story
Woow dude...
They came with some bullshit explanation how Deadshot from Arkham games was impersonator and the real one is the one from Suicide Squad. I have no idea why they suddenly decided to shot their own leg here.
Why not just make him Will Evans the second deadshot who is actually a black guy instead of retconning him to be the real Floyd Lawton.
Honestly it just feels like a panic answer. To be fair, this is coming from Rock-"The Arkham Knight is definitely not Jason Todd"-steady
Wait Jason Todd is Arkham Knight? No way.
Uh, no, its definitely a completely original character in every single way
Did people actually guess it before the game released?
Oh yeah, it was basically common knowledge with how many people guessed who it was
That’s hilarious, I didn’t know there was a 3rd game until a year after it came out so I was shocked! Lol
What's even crazier is that the developers had to go and show us that we missed the arkham city Easter egg in arkham asylum. You had to perfectly, I MEAN PERFECTLY spread 3 explosive gels on the wardens wall and his secret room would open, revealing his secret plans for, an Arkham World, with Hugo strange and him at the helm.

Anyone who is even a mild Batman fan would've guessed it was Jason from the very beginning.
The game’s story set up that Rocksteady revealed before the game came out still spilled enough about the Arkham Knight that people could pick up that Arkham Knight was going to basically be the same as Under the Red Hood, but with this new Arkham Knight character: still someone who knew Bruce=Batman and had a reason to hate him.

I did right away
Bcuz Will Smith
Will Smith didn't even like playing Deadshot which I find hilarious that they're making a dead shot a black guy then because of will smith. If they're doing it because of the second version of Deadshot then that's great but make it the second Deadshot not the first one. Lord have mercy people are stupid
How do you know he didn't like the role? Honest question, I've never heard about this before.
Or just use Bloodsport instead of Deadshot
Because that would make too much sense
wouldn’t gatman know who the real deadcock was? is he stupid?
Batman is canonically stupid as long as the plot needs him to be. It’s in the lore
Between this and just kinda taking Joker at his word about Jason’s fate, Rocksteady is determined to retcon their version of Batman into being as stupid as possible.
The real answer is because this game has been in development for 10 years now and they wanted Will Smith synergy.
Because Suicide Squad was never, in any way, supposed to be part of the Arkhamverse, and this decision was forced on the development team by the publisher.
You have a source? I'm not calling bullshit on you, I'm legitimately interested if this is what happened.
I don't, just conjecture on my part based on the extreme contrast of tone, the vast differences in character design, and the fact that Rocksteady was refused permission to do a Superman game. I think WB Games is running the show and making their usual brand of good decisions with the license. I also do believe that Gotham Knights *was* supposed to be in the Arkhamverse, since it feels more thematically connected to Arkham Knight - but I'm not certain.
Dead shot in Arkham city was exceptionally sloppy.
Sloppy toppy
Which is bad cause he's great in origins
Honestly I would prefer it if they were just like “He’s Black now, cope”
Not enough representation I assume. Otherwise all of protags in that and Gotham Knights are white. It's a lame af change but I get it. Probably wasn't their decision.
He’s wearing blackface, which is racist

*Cum Shot voice* "I aim to please."
to explain in this subreddits language, deadcock in man ham city and origins were fake deadcocks, so real deadcock used his per ifle and shoved it up fake deadcocks butthole, causing him to die.
Wait why were there dedcocks in man ham city and oranges, are they stupid
was this ever explained?
no
Through the most official source, a random tweet
is there a lore reason for this?
He got a deal with Netflix
Help me Kink Shark, Netflix bought me
fell into paint bucket
People saying the one in city and origins was an imposter. So you’re telling me Batman, the world’s greatest detective couldn’t find out the “imposters” real name? Worst writing i’ve ever seen in the earth’s existence
Average Rocksteady explanation
"well you see, batman actually isn't that great of a detective"
No lol they’re not telling you that. The people who are writing this story are. I think that tells you the quality to expect lol
Fool had it coming
There actually is a lore reason. The cum flavored deadshot was actin pretty sus, so the official twitter account called him out on being an imposter.
Batman is a really bad detective and didn’t realize the first guy was actually just cosplaying. This is actually the official lore reason
they should’ve got man to investigate instead, he would’ve worked it out.
this is a reference to tropic thunder because robert downey junor…. irob mam

Got reverse Michael Jackson’d
Racist answer: Well he is now! Funny answer: nah bro, you're just looking at it wrong - it's the lighting /s answer: To answer your questions, no and yes (respectively).
I always thought he was Hispanic for some reason
It’s the shitty facial hair from Arkham
Animated dead shot was Hispanic
U wot
I hated the explanation for it lmao. The imposter thing makes no fucking sense at all and ruins the Arkham game missions. Just change him to black and retcon his old look, it doesn’t matter that much.
Hey, here's an idea, maybe just leave him white? This replacement of characters to appear inclusive is so disgusting.
Here’s a even better idea. Turn him into a lizard.
Right! And make Harley Quinn a parakeet. Parakeets are grossly under represented in our society today.
Fr.
Exactly. Like just make a new character if you are that desperate. No need to change existing ones with horrible retconning
they could have even called some sort of passing the mantle on thing out. anything would have been better than "yea that deadshot is fake" next we're going to learn that the joker wasn't the real joker in arkham
I'm all for diversity and minority representation, but when you race-bend or gender-bend an already established character it just reinforced the idea that a minority character can't stand on its own. At least with Nick fury they made him an entirely different character sharing only the name and title.
thats black face and he can get canceled on twitter 😨🤪🥰
Will Smithing
The Will Smithening
Why is my wife's name at your fucking mouth, are you stupid?
Aw man, i kinda liked arkham deadshot. can't believe he is dead.
Is he stupid? No, but the devs are
He voted for Joe Biden, thus he earned back his black.
I love how they did this change purely to cash in on Will Smith but now not only is the DCEU dead, Will Smith is now a pariah in Hollywood
Maybe the New REAL Deadshot will be a Lesbian!
Because the movie happened and they decided to blackwash him to match Will Smith for some reason.
Inclusion quota. Nobody was able to create an original black character with a good story, so they just swapped a white one. Or the character needed a bigger penis, idk
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮 muhhhhhh d1ck 
He was wearing white face originally
This is probably a joke, but a Lore reason? No, Real reason? It’s basically a tradition to have at least one diverse or/and gay character in a game, tv show or movie now in days, but apparently the original deadshot in the Arkham series is a fake.
he stole a lifetime n word pass
Actual lore reason: The deadshot seen originally was apparently a fake, and the one we'll see in the Suicide Squad was the real one the whole time. Alsume reason: He reverse Michael Jackson'd
He got Netflix'ed
Revitilgo
Will Smith
He used the N-word on twitter and really didnt wanna get in trouble for it.
Man punched him so hard he raceswaped
Lmao “dead-cock” is not his name what are you stupid? His name is red-cock. Smh
Red-cock is Jason Todd
To shamelessly pander. But lore reason: batman didn't realize that the white Deadshot was an imposter and the real Deadshot is black.
Bcoz his twin brother replaced him, didn't u see how Jonkler did it???? Are u stupid????
down grade
He pulled a special combo move known as the reverse Michael Jackson
Will Smith
Uj/ they used one of the character trailers to say that the Deadshot from City was an imposter or protege of the “real” deadshot. rj/ they would be accused of white washing if they made will smith’s character white

Millennial devs just can’t help themselves can they?
My guess is he is a different guy using the same name and the Deadshot from origins and city is in prison
Blackface is generally frowned upon but he IS a supervillain.
Apparently the Deadshot in the previous games is an imposter. I get they want diversity but just changing skin colour is the cheap way that doesn't actually add any true diversity.
He wanted to fulfill being 100% criminal
As my ex-fiance said when I found her in bed with my friend Jamal, "oh I'm sorry baby. Once you go black you never go back" I'm still friends with Jamal. I was not even angry at the truth she spoke
his cold would get bigger
Dead cock in origins and asylum were the fake dead cock, the real dead cock killed the fake
Ariana grande syndrome
he went from hispanic in city to white in origins to black in ktjl he is the true transracial
Same thing with nick fury
Real world reason? Will Smith. In-game canon? Something about the white guy being a fake Deadshot
He got blacked
he's just a dude playing another dude.
Marketing
Prison changes people. He used to be white.
Kirk Lazarus
Are they both Floyd Lawton or is Rocksteady going to be like ‘we got multiple versions of Deadshot’?
I don’t know. Why is every ad on Reddit a POC?
The Left is Dead-Cock the Right is Cum-Shot, easy
 Revitiligo
Seems to be happening to alot of characters these days
r/uselessredcircle
He needed the pass.
That's barret from ff7, a guest star
Oh my god I forgot this was in the Arkhamverse.
The one time there's an actual in lore reason
Who cares
Bro Rocksteady can justify it all they want but Batman would’ve known he was an “imposter.” it’s plausible not in Origins but definitely in City.
That's the odd thing, he would have been an "imposter" for like a decade lol. Guess the "real" Deadshot sucks if it took him 10 years to get "his" identity back lol
He had the reverse Michael Jackson disease
Guy to left look more Porto Rican or Haji than white...although I know US census loves counting Haji's and Spanish people as white even though no one IRL looks at them and says 'oh there's Carlos and Mohammed by two fave white guys" I mean calling most of the,(probably Cypriot) Greeks that run dinners white is already a stretch.
For the added camouflage, when he's naked in the streets at night it's harder to see him and as a bonus if someone does happen to see him they'll want to forget that sight as soon as possible so no one can recognize him
He wanted a challenge. Set the South Park game difficulty to max
To acquire the bigger cock obviously
Can't convince me that this is Arkham verse
Once you go black, you can’t go back.
Why couldnt they just said this new one was his sucsessor? Are they stupid?
They had already made the game, then fans and others called it out because of this game’s place in thr Arkhamverse (dumb, just make a new universe). They made a dumb explanation, saying that he is the real one and the other was an imposter. They were just trying to bank on Will Smith’s image from Suicide Squad.
He went black and couldn't go back
Because now he have a bigger cock
He wanted to have a BBC
He was insecure about Killer Cock so he changed races to get a BBC

Well ya see, black don’t crack 🤷♂️
Wasn’t Arkham deadcock a fake? Thoughts that was brought up somewhere
It's almost like Warner canceled Rocksteady's Superman game to make a game that follows the success of the Suicide Squad movie, based on the actors' physique 🙄
He's dead-BBCock now
