The world is a dangerous place.

Men and women with power that leaves the world and all the insignificant lives upon it at their mercy. Many choose to exercise that power for selfish means, but a small group, a fraction of them; chose to use their power to defend the weak. They are the heroes of this world, the ones who risk their lives and sacrifice everything they are just to protect those that cannot protect themselves from the villains who would take everything from them.

Yet even these heroes, are flawed. They are not perfect despite their image of such. They are not all-powerful despite their actions speaking to the contrary. They make mistakes, allow emotion to cloud their judgement, and allow pride to stay their hand.

Villains are not born, they are made and often, they are made by the very heroes who fight to defend this world. These villains, in turn, make the heroes who fight them. A constant cycle that seems to have no end in sight, but ultimately, there is always something that changes. The world is never predictable, never simple, and always changes. Outliers and anomalies have come about many a time in the course of this cycle, but from this cycle, one rises that was different to the rest. He breaks the cycle and wades through the world of heroes and villains, forged by his actions and the actions of those around him.

His goals are simple, and the steps he takes to reach them are long and arduous. Each one is a struggle, but one that brings him ever closer to the end. However, often, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and as his journey progresses, the world suffers the consequences.

Injustice: The Path To Hell (DC Comics)

Hope you enjoyed the Court of Owls Arc, now we move onto the third arc of the first book of the Injustice series, Book 1 Arc 3, the Arkham Assault Arc. Now, before we do that, here are the character rankings for this arc, if you have questions or arguments about the rankings, feel free to explain why you think characters should be ranked higher or lower than they are.


?. Esau Jacobson/Black Hood (Post-Training).


8. Esau Jacobson/Black Hood (Pre-Training).


So, there we are, this is where the character rankings stack up for this arc, now I imagine there are a few characters you might have ranked differently but I'll give a little explanation. First of all, Barbara and Esau (Post-Training). Pre-Training with Talon, Esau is pretty close to Robin's level with a 6/10 split in Robin's favour. Meaning that out of 10 fights, Robin would win 6 and Esau would win 4. A pretty close split, but post-training Esau and Barbara are interchangeable with no one really being higher than the other, an even 5/10 split. 


But, the most important ranking is Talon and Batman. 


In the story, Talon beat Batman as we all know, but, it's a 6/10 split in Batman's favour. This is just one of the 4 times in which Talon is able to win and he did so because various factors lined up in his favour. However, in a battle between an Unspecialised Batman against the Green Lantern, the battle would be a 10/10 in favour of Hal Jordan. 


If you have any more questions or possible ways you would have ranked the characters, feel free to let me know as I'd love to hear your arguments for or against the rankings. But this should show that even if a character is ranked higher, it doesn't mean they can't win.
