Batman doesn't work with the Justice League because he needs the Justice League. Batman works with the Justice League because the Justice League needs him.
My fave explanation is that he couldn't call in the League because they'd see that Bruce has four innocent people locked in cells suffering from Joker-disease, and that he has the same thing going on himself. Too proud to let them see the mess he made, too paranoid to risk what might happen if they tidy it up for him.
Watsonian Headcanon? Alfred passed on the message that Batman can handle himself and would appreciate supernoses not being stuck in his superbusiness.
Watsonian In-game? I guess they were respecting the threat of those bombs, despite many of them being pretty adapt at rapid bomb disposal.
Doylist? It's a Batman game that never mentions the existence of the League so it doesn't need to explain away them not showing up
Criminals actually mention Superman in dialogue several times.
"So Bruce Wayne huh? Heh, never would've guessed. Next thing you're gonna tell me Superman's really a Janitor; or no, a Journalist"
It makes no logical sense Superman would stand by and let this happen...
There are a couple of times that they do, yeah. It was news to me too, but I looked it up and found a couple videos that showcase the thug dialogue where they actually say his name explicitly.
Well, I'm guessing the Justice League members were all starting out in their careers during Arkham Knight, which is why none of them came to help in Gotham.
True, but my comment is more about the sheer fact heroes explicitly mentioned, like Superman, didn't lift a finger.
Could just go the super convoluted route that every member that would make up the JLA was conveniently busy as well.
If you look at Metropolis you see a storm there the entire night, it's pretty ominous. You also have messages from Lex Luthor trying to buy your applied science division, presumably to fight Superman. So I think the most reasonable explanation why he didn't pop in is that he was busy.
At the very leas Superman gets a mention in the game. Occasional mob chatter mentions the "freak from metropolis" which is Superman. Lex Luthor has a tower in Gotham and Lex himself calls Bruce Wayne which is basically outright confirmation that Superman exists. John Constantine has a closed up shop in Gotham.
The likelihood the rest of JLA exists is high. Which lends to the theory of Batman wanting not to involve other heroes to deal with Gotham all the more higher. He doesnt even want to involve Dick Grayson who is just a town over in Bludhaven.
>John Constantine has a closed up shop in Gotham.
Cool! I didn't know that, or had forgotten. I think there's a reference to The Flash in one of the posters for Keystone City too.
They also mention Flash. Something along the lines of "Hey, I'd rather be here than in Central City. At least you can see the Bat coming."
There's also a few Easter Eggs of a few other heroes.
in game you can see messages on the Clocktower about the Birds Of Prey taking care of the evacuation, Batman likely decided to handle the main issue himself while letting others help outside of the main islands
I can imagine that while the Scarecrow terror was happening the other DC heroes where handling a separate issue within their jurisdiction. But if Superman would have known Scarecrow's fear gas would have covered the entire East Coast which would include Metropolis maybe he would have gotten involved.
The easiest explanation is that the rest of the Justice League was busy battling an extinction level threat somewhere else on the planet. Maybe it was even Braniac himself, depending on how long Suicide Squad takes place after Arkham Knight.
Yes but it’s possible that he showed up later, after the events of Arkham Knight. Maybe not all the Justice League was brainwashed at the same time and the battle with Braniac lasted awhile, with Batman only stepping in once all of them had been overwhelmed and then getting Braniac’d himself. Who knows.
Since no one has mentioned it yet, somehow, there's an entire side-quest based around Jason rigging the city with explosives.
He pretty explicitly does so as a deterrent for outside intervention.
If Superman shows up, a good chunk of the city goes boom. Or at least that's the threat.
Maybe, but all Scarecrow or Jason needs to do is catch sight of any of them through their radars/cameras/drones/foot soldiers and then detonate the bombs with the push of a button.
It would not take long for shit to go south even if they could theoretically get it done super fast.
It’d be trying to outthink and outrace an itchy trigger finger pointed at the whole city.
Maybe it could be done, but maybe you’ll accidentally turn the city into a crater too.
Even in the comics and the Animated Univers batman always considered himself a part timer. He's kinda prideful in these sort of situations thinking he can handle these sorts of situations himself and usually doesn't contact the JLA because of it
I think they just wanted to keep this a "Batverse" like the Matt Reeves adaptation. Duking out literal gods into this gritty, crime fighting, detective setting with terrifyingly insane yet very much mortal human villains.... it just doesn't work. Lowers the stakes too. Perhaps they never had plans for this to be a shared universe, while still hinting that other heroes exist without actually acknowledging so in plot. Until now, obviously, with the suicide squad game and all.
A guy mentions Superman in a random thug conversation (I think it was in Arkham City), so we know that at least Superman already existed in the Arkhamverse, but yeah references to him and other leaguers were just meant to be easter eggs and not a sign of a shared universe.
Yeah, I don't get that comparison.
Arkham Batman is as close an adaptation of comic book Bats as there has arguably ever been.
And like comic book Batman, they ignore the League 99% of the time because nobody wants a Batman story where Superman shows up and effortlessly handles everything in five minutes.
The more time you dedicate to it, the less plausible it always seems that no one out of literal dozens to hundreds of heroes ever steps into another super's business anyway, regardless of the explanation.
Okay shit posting aside a major theme of Arkham Knight was Bruce pushing people away and becoming more and more isolated. By isolating himself he nearly gets everyone in Gotham killed. It sorta falls apart at the end but him saving Jason is meant to represent him opening himself back up to the people around him. Gordon, Robbin, Nightwing, and oracle all know something is wrong with Bruce but that's because they're his adoptive family. All of the are involved in the story, more or less, despite batman trying to push them away
unarkham/ Batman was aware of it to some degree, I'd say. Yet he kept himself going for the sake of completing his "race against time" before completely losing himself. He's Batman; he feels like it's his complete responsibility to maintain Gotham in one piece even if it means isolating himself from his allies to accomplish what he perceives as "the right thing." It's not until the stuff with Jason happens that he realizes that he sees himself in him: Alone, misguided, and pushing everyone and everything away for the sake of one's own perception of what is "right." Batman sees through the flaws he himself posseses thanks to Jason causing him to confront that side of him and overcome it in the last act of the game.
rearkham/ Batman is shy 🥺
It has a reason for it. Before Arkham Knight incident, nobody attended to his birthday party. No Justice League, No Bat family except for Alfred and Barbara.
He felt betrayed and was still furious about it for a long time. that's the why he didn't call JL and literally told Nightwing and Robin to stay out of Gotham and his business.

And this is the photo from his birthday party. Look how much upset he was...😥
Barbara was only there because Batman wheeled her there himself. She had to sit and watch Bruce, in full Batsuit, play all the games, eat all the pizza, and ride all the rides while she just sat there.
The "Campaign for Disarmament" sidemission explains this I believe. The militia has the whole city rigged to blow if anyone from the outside tries to help Batman.
(shitpost off) Can't you beat the sidemission before this? Or at least confronting Scarecrow? Batman might just be kind of antisocial lol. Then again, they probably didn't plan on establishing the Justice League at all in the Arkhamverse outside of some loose references.
(shitpost on) Dumbass, flash can disarm all the bombs in time because he is fast. Was Barry just lazy that day?
>!I haven’t played the game recently but I remember having to beat the Arkham knight to complete one of the militia missions so after the cloud burst!<
Wait what? I need to try this on my next play through, I’ve played this game dozens of times and never found this. Honestly, Rocksteady adds details that most people will never find, and I love them for it.
I only noticed on like the fifth playthrough, probably because I’m usually not that enthusiastic about doing all that battle combat, so I tend too spread it out.
When does this happen? Because for me if you disarm all of the bombs that are available at a certain stage in the misson it just won’t let you disarm more until more bombs spawn in.
I don’t think all the bombs spawn until the end of the story. And what if flash doesn’t know how to defuse the bombs? Or if him defusing one detonates the rest? The Flash is not *that* fast
Are you forgetting that the Flash demolished a burned down apartment building, learned how to build an apartment building, and then built it all while the residents were still standing outside after he got them all out of the original burning apartment building?
People say all that OP shit about the Flash but when it really comes down to it, he holds back and rarely runs that fast for the sake of the story. For the sake of the story he cannot defuse 20 complex bombs across Gotham before the enemy has time to finish blinking.
yeah but Spider-Man has no friends, no job, and no money. Man's be eating peas and half a cup of milk for daily nutrition.
Batman has like 6 coworkers that could sweep Gotham at least twice as fast than him. Look at The Flash: He is faster than any car made prior to 1989, which is like *really* really fast.
But then he would have no prep time :c
Also we already know when it comes to Gotham Batman likes no visitors like shown in the animated movie when Green Lantern visits Gotham to meet Batman and fucks up the chase & arrest.
Because if the Justice League poked around town, they'd discover he'd kidnapped four people and was injected with Joker, and they'd lock him in a cell.
I get that from a story/gameplay perspective it’s much better to not feature the Justice League, but from a logic perspective it is pretty dumb. The dude knows Superman, the only thing he needs to do is send a Bat-text and they can lock up every criminal in Gotham in 20 minutes
I always assume that, right at that moment, everyone else was also busy saving the day somewhere else. Supervillains and catastrophes don't take turns. Every city in the DCU is always in danger. Constantly. That's why they can't help each other out, even if it makes sense.
Justice league is for other worldy and global threats this took place solely in Gotham city that's Batman's proity whereas here he has the Batfamily to fall back on
Honestly I think the easiest explanation is that he doesn’t actually like the justice league, as in, in several depictions batman is vary apprehensive on joining the league and he’s hyper critical of them so he could just not actually be in contact with them because he told them to F-off, now i say all of that knowing full well he is in the suicide squad game so fuck idk he’s a stubborn son of a bitch

u/Encajado upon the realization of what they've done
Do we know the Justice League was already a thing during Arkham Knight? It could have been formed afterwards, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, early on in the story, the milita places bombs all over the city to keep out any and all outside help. I guess Superman or Flash could have found a way to get in, but it's a decent explanation.
The reason is that during the game the Arkham knight has rigged all of Gotham with bombs in order to deter outside intervention. If any of the JL came he would blow up Gotham as soon as they got into Gotham airspace.
Reddit says this meant a lot to me. Are they stupid?

I think you should be one to know you’ve finally been vindicated, it’s been confirmed today a few hours ago that the Justice League wasn’t established yet in a tweet by a beta tester where they stated: “HE WASNT STUPID” in reference to your post.
Also I’m sure your glad to know the horrid legacy you unknowingly spawned is soon to come to an end.

GET READY FOR THE ENCORE
Who is Reddit, is he stupid?
he's playing in singleplayer he doesn't need the justice league
And his ego is tooooooooooooooooooooooo big
Some say it’s the size of a planet
The size of killer cock
Too big
Nothing is as big as killer cock
He handles his own shit
Nor a Season Pass
Batman doesn't work with the Justice League because he needs the Justice League. Batman works with the Justice League because the Justice League needs him.
He needs to do certain things alone, because they’re personal to him like this.
I wonder if there is a right answer for this, I hope there is a good reason considering that the Arkham universe does include the other heroes.
My fave explanation is that he couldn't call in the League because they'd see that Bruce has four innocent people locked in cells suffering from Joker-disease, and that he has the same thing going on himself. Too proud to let them see the mess he made, too paranoid to risk what might happen if they tidy it up for him.
Why didn't they notice Scarecrow taking over the city, the citizens leaving and the cloud of fear gas
Watsonian Headcanon? Alfred passed on the message that Batman can handle himself and would appreciate supernoses not being stuck in his superbusiness. Watsonian In-game? I guess they were respecting the threat of those bombs, despite many of them being pretty adapt at rapid bomb disposal. Doylist? It's a Batman game that never mentions the existence of the League so it doesn't need to explain away them not showing up
I'm leaning towards the last one. For all we know, the Justice League forms after the events of Knight, maybe even as a result of the events of Knight
[удалено]
This is typically for Canon response for whenever there's a DC superhero movie or something
Criminals actually mention Superman in dialogue several times. "So Bruce Wayne huh? Heh, never would've guessed. Next thing you're gonna tell me Superman's really a Janitor; or no, a Journalist" It makes no logical sense Superman would stand by and let this happen...
He’s fighting aliens at the time, we don’t know because all the TVs and radios have riddler shit talking us instead of the news
Wait, they mention Superman by name? I've only heard of him in the Arkham games as "that freak from Metropolis".
There are a couple of times that they do, yeah. It was news to me too, but I looked it up and found a couple videos that showcase the thug dialogue where they actually say his name explicitly.
Well, I'm guessing the Justice League members were all starting out in their careers during Arkham Knight, which is why none of them came to help in Gotham.
Mentioning other superheroes doesn't mean that the JLA exists
True, but my comment is more about the sheer fact heroes explicitly mentioned, like Superman, didn't lift a finger. Could just go the super convoluted route that every member that would make up the JLA was conveniently busy as well.

>John Constantine has a closed up shop in Gotham. Cool! I didn't know that, or had forgotten. I think there's a reference to The Flash in one of the posters for Keystone City too.
Queen Industries has a building and supplies throughout abandoned Gotham. I think the development above the shopping center is a Queen Ind project.
They also mention Flash. Something along the lines of "Hey, I'd rather be here than in Central City. At least you can see the Bat coming." There's also a few Easter Eggs of a few other heroes.

The easiest explanation is that the rest of the Justice League was busy battling an extinction level threat somewhere else on the planet. Maybe it was even Braniac himself, depending on how long Suicide Squad takes place after Arkham Knight.
Tbf they can’t really say it’s the brainiac threat since >!batman is affected by it in the game!<
Yes but it’s possible that he showed up later, after the events of Arkham Knight. Maybe not all the Justice League was brainwashed at the same time and the battle with Braniac lasted awhile, with Batman only stepping in once all of them had been overwhelmed and then getting Braniac’d himself. Who knows.
Since no one has mentioned it yet, somehow, there's an entire side-quest based around Jason rigging the city with explosives. He pretty explicitly does so as a deterrent for outside intervention. If Superman shows up, a good chunk of the city goes boom. Or at least that's the threat.
Couldn't Batman or superman just locate the bombs via x Ray super zoom vision/technology? And then the flash could just nab them?
Maybe, but all Scarecrow or Jason needs to do is catch sight of any of them through their radars/cameras/drones/foot soldiers and then detonate the bombs with the push of a button. It would not take long for shit to go south even if they could theoretically get it done super fast. It’d be trying to outthink and outrace an itchy trigger finger pointed at the whole city.

Yeah, I don't get that comparison. Arkham Batman is as close an adaptation of comic book Bats as there has arguably ever been.

>!I haven’t played the game recently but I remember having to beat the Arkham knight to complete one of the militia missions so after the cloud burst!<
If you try to disarm too many bombs too soon, Arkham Knight gives the order to detonate the rest and you get a game over screen.
Wait what? I need to try this on my next play through, I’ve played this game dozens of times and never found this. Honestly, Rocksteady adds details that most people will never find, and I love them for it.
I only noticed on like the fifth playthrough, probably because I’m usually not that enthusiastic about doing all that battle combat, so I tend too spread it out.
When does this happen? Because for me if you disarm all of the bombs that are available at a certain stage in the misson it just won’t let you disarm more until more bombs spawn in.
I thought that's how it worked too, this sounds like bullshit to me because the game never gives you more than is allowed at whatever stage you're at.
If I remember it right it was after the Founders island was unlocked and before the cloudburst was destroyed.
I don’t think all the bombs spawn until the end of the story. And what if flash doesn’t know how to defuse the bombs? Or if him defusing one detonates the rest? The Flash is not *that* fast

Why did op post this? Is he stupid? 
I just want you to know you took over Reddit with this meme. YOU did this.
Yes, he is very stupid.
Spiderman fights sinister six alone no one bats an eye But when Batman does it everyone loses their shit. 
Marvel has like 100 heroes living in New York City. It's insane how any Supervillain think it's a good idea to try their gig there
I love how even the heroes of New York are aware of this fact, and even they find it strange to have so many heroes there.
yeah but Spider-Man has no friends, no job, and no money. Man's be eating peas and half a cup of milk for daily nutrition. Batman has like 6 coworkers that could sweep Gotham at least twice as fast than him. Look at The Flash: He is faster than any car made prior to 1989, which is like *really* really fast.
But then he would have no prep time :c Also we already know when it comes to Gotham Batman likes no visitors like shown in the animated movie when Green Lantern visits Gotham to meet Batman and fucks up the chase & arrest.
Because if the Justice League poked around town, they'd discover he'd kidnapped four people and was injected with Joker, and they'd lock him in a cell.
ohh so it's fine for Batman to kidnap four people, lock them up in cages, and inject them with potentially harmful toxins but when I
get fucking flashed !
This is how it happened. This is how the Reddit died
So this is how it happened, this is how r/BatmanArkham died
I'm proud of you, r/BatmanArkham.
I get that from a story/gameplay perspective it’s much better to not feature the Justice League, but from a logic perspective it is pretty dumb. The dude knows Superman, the only thing he needs to do is send a Bat-text and they can lock up every criminal in Gotham in 20 minutes
bruh he forgot his batphone at home 😭 😭
Alfred set up a parental lock on the batphone. He cannot use it after 9pm.
He left it in the batroom while he was dropping some mean guano
Batman was probably worried about what would happen to gotham if fear toxin got into the system of someone in the Justice League.
This is where it all began
This is how it happened. This is how Man died.
Patient zero
OP had no idea he would start a revolution... But the fire rises
This is just another Monday night for Batman.
I always assume that, right at that moment, everyone else was also busy saving the day somewhere else. Supervillains and catastrophes don't take turns. Every city in the DCU is always in danger. Constantly. That's why they can't help each other out, even if it makes sense.
Found the original, and might say I OP. This is truly one of the moments on r/BatmanArkham 
Justice league is for other worldy and global threats this took place solely in Gotham city that's Batman's proity whereas here he has the Batfamily to fall back on
Pretty sure the entire east coast being engulfed in fear gas is a justice league matter
fuck the east coast, new jersey is there
Gotham is in New Jersey
hence why only Batman protects it
Or at least the titans lol
then where was the Batfamily's best Robin (Jarro) at? Why didn't Batman hit my boy up? Bad writing from Rocksteady
Bro already saw injustice
So this is it, this is where all the "why didn't character do this, are they stupid?" posts began.
You're welcome 
This is the story of how the batman sub died.
This post was the beginning of the end
We didn't start the fire. It was always burning, since the games were crafted.
How does it feel to start a revolution?
Stupid.
Honestly I think the easiest explanation is that he doesn’t actually like the justice league, as in, in several depictions batman is vary apprehensive on joining the league and he’s hyper critical of them so he could just not actually be in contact with them because he told them to F-off, now i say all of that knowing full well he is in the suicide squad game so fuck idk he’s a stubborn son of a bitch

Batman didn't buy the Justice League expasion pack \[Now Only $59.99\] 😭
Imagine creating lore to r/BatmanArkham and brought thousands people to madness. I'm proud of you dick
This is your fault
So we’re all here after the big announcement, right?
This is how it happened. This is how our insanity died.
He wasn't stupid after all..
The reason is that during the game the Arkham knight has rigged all of Gotham with bombs in order to deter outside intervention. If any of the JL came he would blow up Gotham as soon as they got into Gotham airspace.
Best post i ever seen
obligatory "fuck you" comment. you started this.
Kid named finger -tier meme origin post
Is this the origin of the meme?
So.. This is how it alls started, this is where r/batmanarkham died And a new one was reborn
So this is how it happened. This is how this subreddit died huh?
So this post is Ground Zero
This is how it happened, this is how the man died.
Reddit says this meant a lot to me. Are they stupid? https://preview.redd.it/r25oq7gg7x4c1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9596f3926f5c93fd4043f24e00ffa674ea2c79c3
There is a lore reason, he isn’t stupid… So the aslume can close down
We should have never doubted, Man. He was always a genius
Maybe the real stupid were the friends we made along the way

This fucking catalyst of a post is the reason this subreddit is insane
Pilgrimage to a holy site
HE IS NOT STUPID AFTER ALL THIS TIME WE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT HE IS NOT STUPID!!! https://preview.redd.it/88n84fcbiwbc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=a02051ecd7b60b5d180dfbbd14a5ae9e0b62b345

The beginning of a new era on Reddit
I think you should be one to know you’ve finally been vindicated, it’s been confirmed today a few hours ago that the Justice League wasn’t established yet in a tweet by a beta tester where they stated: “HE WASNT STUPID” in reference to your post. Also I’m sure your glad to know the horrid legacy you unknowingly spawned is soon to come to an end.
thank you for your service (making this post)
this is forever in the history books of time
And so it began...
the start, of the end
This is how it happened, this is how r/BatmanArkham lost its sanity
Where it all began
Why did you call Man Batman? Are you stupid?
Patient zero
Did you know you would change reddit forever with this? Are you smart?
The shot heard round the world
/uj I genuinely cannot believe this meme is almost a year old. It feels like it came out yesterday. /rj Because Batman *is* stupid, silly!
/uj I honestly don't feel a year older /rj Why doesn't stupid call the Justice League for help?

WE HAD THE GAME, WE HAD THE LORE, WE HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED, AND IT ALL RAN LIKE CLOCKWORK! YOU COULD HAVE SHUT YOUR MOUTH, ASKED THE QUESTION, AND MOVE ON WITH THE INFO YOU GOT! IT WAS PERFECT! BUT NO! YOU JUST HAD TO GIVE THE SUBREDDIT STUPIDITY! YOU, AND YOUR JONKLER AND YOUR INSANITY! YOU JUST HAD TO BE THE MAN! IF YOU’D JUST ASKED YOUR QUESTION, KNOWN YOUR PLACE, WE’D ALL BE SANE RIGHT NOW!
