Prediction for **** ******
Here are my two predictions for Lady Arkham/Vicki Vale.
- There might be a series of flashbacks detailing hints that Vicki is the Children of Arkham leader. For examples, he look on her face while injecting "truth serum". And linking Montoya getting drugged with Ms. Vale's presence in the infirmary. "There's no once you can trust in Gotham. Least those you call friend".
- Vale claiming her reasons for going after Bruce Wayne being that he's reckless. And points out the choices, and faults of his actions. Letting Falcone into his manor, and shaking hands with him. Not taking the chance to defend himself. Visiting Falcone in the infirmary, and refusing to ease his pain. Visiting Hill as a friend. Punching Oz in front of Regina. ETC.

The only thing I don't understand is Vicki Vale's motive for going after Bruce. I mean it's never explained in the 3 episodes. She is the leader of the Children of Arkham but what did Bruce ever do to Vicki to make her want to get rid of him? I think Episode 4 Batman will do some digging and find the motive there and maybe even confront Lady Arkham again.
Im more interested in figuring out how vikki was able to kick batman's ass and I want a rematch in episode 4.
It is more about destroying the Wayne's completely than what did Bruce do.
Ah I understand but you see if Vicki is the leader she still has nothing against Bruce. So the motive is still unknown.
Maybe vicki was a patient to Bruce's dad at a young age?? Or her parents were?? There has to be a really good reason to want to get rid of Bruce unless she knows he's Batman so get rid of Bruce...you get rid of Batman. But then what's her reason to want to destroy Gotham and kill so many innocent people?
Thinking about it now, so much of Vicky's actions make sense now. She clearly took an interest in Bruce Wayne. In episode 1 alone she went to the fundraising to find out "What makes Bruce Wayne tick" she had no interest in Harvey, the upcoming Mayor of Gotham. Then at the press conference about the Wayne memorial Hospital she asked what it would mean for Arkham Asylum. That makes so much sense now! What happened at Arkham is the Children of Arkham's main motive.
One more interesting thing is that something Lady Arkham & Vicki Vale said are similar.
Vicki Vale: "Not all reporters are just looking for a headline. Some of us are old fashioned, I still want the truth"
Lady Arkham: "Tonight we show you the truth!
Remember when Penguin introduced Vicki as the new moderator?
"Stage fright, huh? All right, I'll get you started... But remember, this is YOUR show."
Oh my god right?! And when he said: Go on love. You KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Do you think, when Vicki gave Batman the serum and told him to attack Oz, that Oz
already knew about it?
She reveals her basic motive if you choose the right dialogue option at the end. If you ask her, "How could you?", she will reply, "Retribution, Bruce."
And since Bruce hasn't done anything to her personally, it strongly suggests that she lost someone to Thomas Wayne and his companions (who both died by her orders if you piece it together). My theory is that she didn't just have Bruce killed like the others so that she could let him suffer in Arkham, as Thomas did to people like Esther Cobblepot.
Hummm... what if Lady Arkham and the Penguin are just using eachother. I mean, what if Oz isn't aware that Vicki planned to have Bruce attack him. Maybe they've just been using eachother this whole time and now theiy're trying to get rid of one another.
I mean, if OZ really was aware that Vicki was the masked freak, him making her go to the stage might've been him provocking her or something. Maybe they have some passive-agressive relationship. They both seem to have a disregard for eachother's life, Vicki just unleashed Bruce onto Oz, and Oz tried to shoot Vicki at the debate.
Maybe they're not even working together anymore. Maybe after Oz almost killed Vicki at the debate, she decided that he's not fit to help her anymore and that's why she made Bruce attack him. You know, killing two birds with one stone (is that the saying?).
AGvdsjajdhaishu, I need mah answers.
I do believe that they have a rough relationship, to say the least; that much is clear, like you said, from the fact that she instigated Bruce to attack him mercilessly and he attempted to kill her at the debate. I don't even know if they continue to work together anymore.
Is the Penguin one of the Children of Arkham in the first place?
Eh. For some reason I didn't recieve a notification...
Well, I guess it all depends. Does Oz even know that Vicki is the leader? She was masked when we meet her at the depot, maybe a way to protect her identity from traitors within the Children. Or perhaps she just had her suit on because she knew Batman was going to be there (she led us there afterall...). I don't know, this is confusing, so many possibilities.
I mean, it definitely seems sthat he does know her identity ('This is YOUR show.'/'Go on, love. You know what to do.'), but those lines might just be a coincidence? I don't know.
Well, Oz was definitely working with them at the debate. I'm not sure if the guys who we met at the bar with Selina were the Children or simply Penguin's goons.
But now that you mention it, he does seem to have his own 'army'. None of his men we met at the Skyline club were wering those outfits the Children have.
Interesting, maybe the Penguin is actually working independently and these are two independent group of terrorists.
Then again, every dialogue option they give us in episode 3 about Oz, gives us the option to call him one of the Children of Arkham.
And about it AGAIN, Roland, the strong stone dude from episode 2, might've been one of Thomas Wayne's experiments, which would indicate that that guy is apart of the Children, therefore, linking Penguin and the other dudes to them too.
We need answers.
Coincidence or foreshadowing?
