Batman: Arkham Requiem
Project Overview
Batman: Arkham Requiem
Batman: Arkham Requiem is a fan-made SFM animated series set within a dark, cinematic interpretation of the Arkham universe.
Years after the events of Arkham Knight, Gotham City is struggling to rebuild. With Batman's greatest enemies defeated, imprisoned, or presumed dead, the city believes its darkest days are finally behind it.
They're wrong.
A mysterious conspiracy begins spreading throughout Gotham, manipulating criminals, corrupting institutions, and turning the city against its own protector. Behind it all is Hush, a brilliant and obsessive enemy who has spent years studying Batman, Bruce Wayne, and every mistake made throughout his war on crime.
But Hush doesn't simply want Batman dead.
He wants to destroy Bruce Wayne.
As Gotham's trust collapses and Batman is forced to confront the consequences of his actions, Bruce begins questioning whether his crusade has truly saved Gotham—or created an endless cycle of violence.
With the help of the Bat-Family, Batman must uncover Hush's conspiracy before Gotham falls completely into chaos.
Arkham Requiem is a story about legacy, sacrifice, identity, and the question at the heart of Batman's entire mission:
Can Gotham ever truly be saved without Batman?

"I've faced monsters hiding behind masks before, Hush. The difference is that I know exactly what I'm fighting."
"I've spent years convincing myself that Gotham needs Batman. Maybe I was too afraid to ask what Gotham actually needs from me."
"You think you can destroy me, Hush? You can tear apart Bruce Wayne's name. You can take everything I have, everything I built... but you will never destroy who I am. I am the vengeance born from a night that should have broken me. I am the shadow that criminals fear when the lights go out. I am the darkness that watches over this city. I am vengeance. I am the night. I am Batman!!

"You keep calling yourself Gotham's savior, Bruce. But look around you. Every scar this city carries has your fingerprints somewhere on it."
"I don't want Batman dead. Death would be mercy. I want you alive long enough to watch Gotham finally turn its back on you."
"You spent your entire life studying criminals. I spent mine studying you. Tell me, Bruce... which one of us really knows the other?"

"You taught me that Batman was supposed to give people hope. Somewhere along the way, Bruce, I think you forgot that includes yourself."
"I'm not asking you to stop being Batman. I'm asking you to stop pretending that you have to do this alone."

You want to know what Hush and I have in common? We both know exactly how badly Gotham can hurt you."

"Bruce, I'm tracking dozens of coordinated attacks across Gotham. This isn't a gang war. Someone wants the entire city distracted."
"You keep telling everyone you're fine, but I've known you too long to believe that. You're not fighting Hush anymore. You're fighting yourself."
"Whatever happens tonight, don't shut us out. We've spent years fighting beside you, Bruce. Let us stay."

"I've gone through every file we have on Elliot, and there's one thing that doesn't make sense. He's always three steps ahead of us."
"You taught me to look for patterns, Batman. Hush knows that, which means he's probably hiding something right in front of us."
"I'm not staying behind while you go after him alone. I'm Robin, Bruce. You made me part of this."

Loving / Vulnerable:"Bruce... I don't love the mask. I don't love the legend, and I certainly don't love watching you throw yourself into danger every night. I love you. The man underneath all of it. And I'm not going to let Hush convince you that being Batman means you have to lose the man I fell in love with."
Confronting Bruce:"You keep telling yourself Gotham needs Batman, but when was the last time you asked what Bruce Wayne needs? You don't have to choose between saving this city and having a life with me. Let me stand beside you, Bruce. Not behind you."
Defiant / Emotional:"Hush thinks he can take everything from you? Let him try. He can tear down Wayne Manor, burn your fortune, expose every secret you've ever kept—but he can't destroy the man I know. Because Bruce Wayne isn't the mask. He's the heart underneath it. And I refuse to let him forget that."
Voice Actor
Alfred is Bruce's father figure, mentor, caretaker, and emotional anchor. He understands the man beneath the Batman better than anyone.
Voice Direction: Warm, sophisticated, dry humor when appropriate, but deeply emotional during serious moments.

"Master Bruce, I have watched you carry this burden for many years. I fear you have forgotten that burdens are not meant to be carried alone
"You became Batman to prevent another boy from suffering as you did. Please don't allow that mission to cost you the man you were meant to become."
"Whatever Gotham thinks of you, sir, you will always be Bruce Wayne to me. And that man deserves saving too."
Voice Actor
Gordon is a hardened but compassionate police officer who has spent years working alongside Batman. He believes in justice but understands the complicated nature of Batman's methods.

"I've spent years looking up at that rooftop and knowing the Bat was watching over us. Tonight, I don't know if he's still out there."
"Bruce, whatever happens next, remember why we started this. It was never about fear. It was about giving Gotham something to believe in."
"Hush wants this city divided. He wants us pointing fingers at each other. I'm not giving him that victory."
Voice Actor
The Joker appears through old recordings, distorted memories, hallucinations, and fragments of Batman's fractured psyche. He isn't necessarily telling Bruce the truth—he's saying the things Bruce fears might be true.
Voice Direction: Unpredictable, theatrical, playful, sinister, and occasionally disturbingly sincere. The actor should be able to switch from humor to genuine menace instantly.

Playful / Psychological "Oh, Bats... look at you. Still wearing that ridiculous little costume, still pretending you're saving everybody. Tell me, how many people have to get hurt before you finally admit the truth? Gotham doesn't need Batman. You need Batman."
Dark / Personal "You can lock me away, you can bury me, you can pretend I'm gone... but you can't kill the part of me that lives inside your head. Every time you put on that mask, Bruce, I'm right there with you."
Mocking / Emotional "Hush wants to destroy Bruce Wayne? Ha! That's adorable. He thinks he's discovered your greatest weakness. But I already knew it, Bats... Bruce Wayne was never the man behind the mask. Batman was always the real you."
Voice Actor
Male | Adult
Harvey Dent is a brilliant former district attorney whose transformation into Two-Face left him permanently divided between the man who believes in justice and the scarred criminal who believes the world is ruled by chance. In Arkham Requiem, Harvey is older, more bitter, and increasingly frustrated with Batman because he sees Bruce Wayne and himself as two men who created separate identities to survive their trauma.
Despite his criminal nature, Harvey isn't completely gone. His struggle between justice and chaos makes him an important character in Bruce's own battle with his identity.
Voice Direction: Gruff, damaged, intelligent, and emotionally conflicted. Harvey should sound controlled and sorrowful, while Two-Face becomes harsher, unpredictable, and intimidating.

Harvey / Vulnerable "You think I don't remember who I was, Bruce? I remember every courtroom, every conviction, every person I promised I'd protect. Sometimes I wonder if Harvey Dent ever really died... or if I just buried him beneath this scar."
Two-Face / Bitter "You and I aren't so different, Batman. We both lost everything and became something else because of it. The difference is, you pretend you still have control... while I have the courage to admit that none of us ever did."
Emotional / Confrontational "Look at us, Bruce. Two men hiding behind identities they created because the truth hurt too much. You call yourself Batman. I call myself Two-Face. Maybe Hush is wrong about one thing... maybe the masks aren't hiding who we are. Maybe they're finally showing it."
Voice Actor
Male | Adult
Edward Nygma is Gotham's most brilliant—and insufferably arrogant—criminal mastermind. After years of being defeated by Batman, Riddler's obsession has evolved beyond simply proving that he's smarter. He wants recognition from the one person he considers intellectually worthy of him.
In Arkham Requiem, Riddler has information about Hush's conspiracy, but he refuses to simply hand it over. If Batman wants answers, he'll have to prove himself worthy of receiving them.
Voice Direction: Highly intelligent, theatrical, smug, fast-talking, and unpredictable. Let the arrogance hide genuine frustration and insecurity whenever Batman outsmarts him.

Smug / Challenging "Oh, Batman... still playing detective after all these years? How wonderfully predictable. I've already uncovered pieces of Elliot's little game, but if you want the answers, you'll have to prove you're still worthy of solving my riddles."
Frustrated / Emotional "Do you have any idea what it's like to spend your entire life knowing you're the smartest person in every room, only to have one miserable man in a cape constantly prove you wrong? I hate you for that, Batman... and I respect you for it."
Serious / Fearful "Listen to me, Batman! This isn't one of my games! Hush isn't trying to defeat you—he's trying to erase you. And if you've seen what I've seen, you'll understand why even I don't want to know what happens when he wins."
Voice Actor
Character Description:
Oswald Cobblepot is Gotham's ruthless, calculating crime lord and owner of the Iceberg Lounge. Years of surviving Batman's war have made him paranoid, bitter, and fiercely protective of his criminal empire. Penguin isn't a mindless thug—he's a businessman who knows exactly when to fight, negotiate, or betray someone. In Arkham Requiem, Hush threatens to disrupt the criminal balance of Gotham, forcing Penguin into an uneasy encounter with Batman.
Voice Direction: Refined, theatrical, sarcastic, arrogant, and intimidating. His anger should feel controlled until his pride is challenged.

Threatening / Arrogant "You stroll into my establishment wearing that ridiculous cape and expect me to hand over everything I know? Please, Batman. I've survived your little crusade for years. I'm not about to start shaking now."
Frustrated / Serious "Hush is different. He isn't interested in money, territory, or power. He wants Gotham to burn—and when Gotham burns, gentlemen like me lose everything. So believe me, Batman... I have every reason to see him stopped."
Fearful / Defiant "You think I'm afraid of you? I'm afraid of what happens when that lunatic gets what he wants. So don't mistake my cooperation for loyalty, Batman. The moment Hush falls, our little arrangement ends."
Voice Actor
Character Description:
Bane is a physically imposing and highly intelligent mercenary who believes strength means nothing without discipline. Years of Venom have made him extraordinarily powerful, but his greatest weapon is his tactical mind. In Arkham Requiem, Bane is initially manipulated by Hush and sees Batman as the ultimate opponent he has never truly defeated. Beneath his rage, however, Bane respects Batman's determination and refuses to be treated as another pawn in someone else's game.
Voice Direction: Deep, powerful, controlled, intimidating, and deliberate. Bane should sound intelligent rather than mindless. His anger should build slowly, making his emotional outbursts feel more impactful.

Intimidating / Controlled "You believe your mask makes you frightening, Batman? No. It is the man beneath it who interests me. I have broken stronger men than you, but you... you continue to rise. That is why I will enjoy breaking you."
Furious / Betrayed "Hush promised me a war worthy of my strength. Instead, he made me his weapon. I will not be controlled, manipulated, or commanded by another man ever again. If he wants a monster, then I will show him exactly what he has unleashed."
Respectful / Defiant "You and I are not so different, Batman. We were both forged by suffering, shaped by pain, and driven by something greater than ourselves. But there can only be one man standing when this battle ends... and I refuse to be the one who falls."
Voice Actor
Character Description:
Harley Quinn is unpredictable, sarcastic, energetic, and fiercely independent. After breaking away from the Joker's influence, Harley is trying to build a life on her own terms. She's still chaotic and loves getting under people's skin, but underneath the jokes is someone who has endured years of manipulation and abuse. In Arkham Requiem, Harley has no interest in letting Hush use her past with the Joker—or Batman—to control her again.
Voice Direction: Playful, energetic, sarcastic, emotionally vulnerable when the humor drops. Her voice should be able to shift quickly from comedic to genuinely threatening.

Playful / Cocky "Ooooh, look at Mr. Fancy-Face! You really thought you could scare little ol' Harley? Sweetie, I've been locked in more cages than you got brain cells, and trust me... I always find a way out!"
Playful / Suspicious "Hold up, lemme get this straight... Creepy-face over there knows Batman's secret, Gotham's falling apart, and everybody's acting like we're doomed? Pfft! I've survived Arkham, puddin', and my own terrible life choices. A little apocalypse ain't scaring me!"
Chaotic / Confrontational "Listen here, Hushie! You can play dress-up, whisper creepy things, and pretend you're the smartest guy in the room, but you're messin' with the wrong gal! Nobody puts Harley in a corner and gets away with it!"
Voice Actor
A brilliant botanist reborn through the very plant life she sacrificed herself to protect. Ivy has returned stronger, more mysterious, and less human than before.

LINE 1 — Playful / Flirty “Well, well… the Dark Knight himself. I was beginning to wonder if you missed me, . Don’t look so surprised Darling—I’ve always had a way of growing back.”
LINE 2 — Flirty / Serious “You always did have a weakness for saving lost causes. Just be careful, Batman… get too close to me, and you might find yourself caught in my vines.”
Serious / Emotional “I died protecting this city once, Bruce. I won't make that mistake twice. Gotham will either learn to live alongside nature… or nature will learn to live without Gotham.”
Voice Actor
TALIA AL GHUL
Talia al Ghul is the daughter of Ra's al Ghul and one of the world's most dangerous assassins. Raised within the League of Assassins, she was trained from childhood to become an exceptional fighter, strategist, and leader. Despite her ruthless upbringing, Talia possesses a compassionate side that she rarely allows others to see.
In Batman: Arkham Requiem, Talia has chosen to stand beside Bruce Wayne—not as his enemy, but as the woman he loves and trusts. Their relationship is passionate, complicated, and constantly tested by the darkness surrounding them. Talia understands Bruce better than almost anyone, including the burden he carries as Batman, and she refuses to let anyone take him away from her.

LINE 1 — Furious / Fighting Catwoman “Get out of my way, Selina! I have tolerated your games long enough. You may have shared a past with Bruce, but that doesn't give you the right to interfere in his life now. He chose me, and I chose him—and I will not stand here while you put yourself between us. So if you want to fight, then come at me… because I promise you, I won't be holding back this time!”
LINE 2 — Furious / Hush “You actually thought you could fool me by wearing his face?! You may have Bruce's eyes, his voice, even his appearance—but you will never be him! You are nothing but a twisted imitation of the man I love, and every second you continue to wear his face is an insult to everything we've been through together. You stole his identity… and now I'm going to make you pay for it. I swear, Hush, I will tear that stolen face from you myself!”
LINE 3 — Seductive / Romantic “Come here, Bruce… closer. After everything we've endured—the League, Gotham, death, betrayal—I think we've earned a moment that belongs only to us. You spend so much of your life hiding behind that mask, pretending you're incapable of wanting anything for yourself… but I know the man beneath it. And tonight, I want you to forget about Batman for a while and remember that you are still Bruce Wayne… my beloved Bruce.”
