Agent 47 in Gotham

[WesFox13]

Let's say for some reason, someone hires Agent 47 (from the Hitman series of video games) though the ICA (International Contract Agency) to assassinate the main criminals of Gotham; who the employer believes are in a mental state that simple rehalibatation is completely ineffective and they need to be elminated.

Here is the target list:
The Joker
Two-Face
The Riddler
Mr. Freeze
Catwoman
Poision Ivy
The Penguin

Any henchmen or partners that work with these criminals are fairgame.

Now I wonder what the sucess rate that Agent 47 would have with these criminals because they aren't like the typical criminals.

and just to make it a bit intresting; Let's say after one of the killings Batman arrives just as Agent 47 puts a bullethole into one of his targets. What would happen?

[Eulogy]

47 is good, but I doubt he's good or lucky enough to kill all of his targets before his targets band together or Batman finds him and ships him off to jail.

He'll have to work slowly and cover his tracks as best he can - but considering that the World's Best Detective will be after him, even that might not even be enough.

[Terralthra]

What I see on the above target list is a list of people who are as prone to 'accidents' as the entire set of nominees for the average Darwin awards.

Also keep in mind that 47 is not an ISO standard human. He is a genetically-improved clone. He has increased strength and heals very fast.

Didn't know that bit.

Comparing success rate versus Batman, 47 would have an advantage in firearms and explosives, but he'd be reliant on local (or "acquired") transit and isn't so stealthy or well equipped otherwise. Doesn't have a base to work from, either.

Not up to scratch with the games or old comics/movies, so I wouldn't make any judgements on actual kills.

[Havok]

He gets everyone but Catwoman and the Joker.

Catwoman because unless she was the first target, she is smart enough to get the fuck out of Dodge or get safe with Bats.

The Joker, because he is too unpredictable. All the other villains on the list are EXTREMELY predictable and fall into patterns.

...okay, what the hell? The Riddler's reformed, the Penguin's gone legit (he's strictly money-hungry, not insane), and Catwoman...fscking Catwoman?! She's pretty much a hero at this point! What the hell is 47's "employer" thinking?

I'd say that if 47 actually managed to kill Catwoman, he would find himself neck-deep in shit and sinking very fast. Batman might even kill him.

As for the others...well, Two-Face and the Riddler would probably be doable, as well as maybe the Penguin. 47 would have to get past Ivy's standard traps in order to get to her - that, or use a long-range weapon, which might have a chance of working if he catches her in the open - and I doubt that he would have much luck close-in against her plants.

The Joker...I honestly don't know. If he bleeds on 47, then the Hitman is in serious trouble. He doesn't have much aversion to using guns, and he's fairly hard to sneak up on....I'd give 47 slightly worse than even odds in at least getting a first hit in.

Mister Freeze is simply out of 47's league. Armored suit, cryo-gun, enhanced strength...he's given Superman a workout before. I seriously doubt a single assassin would give him much trouble.

Given that technically, ICA doesn't really give a damn what the mental state of the targets are, I'd say what they think doesn't really matter. All that matters to ICA and 47 is that somebody wants them dead and they're willing to shell out money for it.

All it takes is one uninformed buyer going "well...these people did this...good enough for me..." and not really giving a damn what their current status is.

The ICA has strong ties to British and USA intel departments. In all likely hood, it is a wetworks team which subcontracts from major world players so they dont get thier hands dirty. That the ICA accepts hits from private citizens is just a lucrative side venture and a method of providing denyability that they are basicly a wetwork team established by the Allies after WW2.

[Zixinus]

The whole thing depends on how well 47 can get intel on these people. Given enough intel and knowledge of the plans of these people, and time and money, he could kill every single one of these fuckers.

Also, 47's handler calls a caller "Your majesty" while sitting in London.....

Agreed. Does anyone of them even wear armour that can stop a bullet from the Walther WA 2000?

[Tsyroc]

Maybe Mr. Freeze's armor but I think the suit could go either way depending on who's doing the writing. The best bet would be to shoot him in the head. Batman has often put cracks in Freeze's helmet/dome so a high powered rifle round should be able to penetrate it.

[Swindle1984]

The Joker...I honestly don't know. If he bleeds on 47, then the Hitman is in serious trouble.

Why is this? Last I knew, the Joker was a normal human whose skin and hair changed color because of a dunk in a chemical vat (which drove him insane); did I miss something that made him shoot acid out of his veins or something?

[Mr Bean]

Do any of them wear face armor?

No, then the traditional Agent-47 tactic of "shoot them in the face" works quite fine.

Here's how I see it working out

The Riddler strangled, he's the easist target
1 Down
The Penguin shot in his home, he gets in via a delivery of some kind
2 Down

Poision Ivy, sets fire to her little refuge, snipes her when she runs out
3 Down

Two-Face, depends on where he is, if in Arkham, he dies mysteriously from poisoned food, if not shot
4 Down


Catwoman, sniped pure and simple only way to be sure to get her with no warning. Most like it will be your traditional, ring the phone, come to the window, blow her brains out
5 Down


Mr. Freeze, blown up, only way to be sure, a tough target

The Joker
He's the tricky one, unless Agent 47 wants to inflitrate his gang his best possibility is to guess the Joker's next target and take him out before batman shows up. Or alternatively wait till he gets tossed in Arkham and nail him before he escapes as normal.

Heck with the exception of Freeze and Catwoman, he could net all of his targets in a single night's work in Arkham.

Because of all the experimentation he's done with his homebrewed poisons and whatnot over the years, he's actually turned his blood into a potent weapon. I recall a comic where he managed to rip the inside of his mouth open, spat blood into a guard's eyes, and walked out while the guard died screaming and clawing at his face.

Mr. Freeze is one of the easiest ones on the list. Doesn't he rely on his suit for refrigeration, and he would die if it were to stop working?

Yes, and?
Said suit is also extremely durable and grants him enhanced strength. As I said earlier, he's gone toe-to-toe with Superman in the past. He's not exactly on Big Blue's power level, but he can survive a round or two.

[Zixinus]

You don't have to destroy the suit. It's enough if you just destroy the refrigeration.

[weemadando]

You don't have to destroy the suit. It's enough if you just destroy the refrigeration.

And lets face it, 47 has plenty of precedent for sabotage. He can always just sabotage some of the consumables and wait for Mr Freeze to use something tainted or rigged. That is assuming of course, that he occasionally needs to top up his suits reserves of coolants, fluids, power etc.

Do I sense a fic coming on?

Quite possibly.

I may have some fun with this.

A fic in which in the end Batman hangs up his cape since Agent 47 eliminates the Rogues Gallery.

As long as it doesn't end up like "Punisher Kills the MU"...
...gods, I hated that comic.

[weemadando]

I hope that none of my stuff is going to be bullshit "lol SUPERZEROS!" stuff, but you can begin to judge for yourself:

47 Nights in Gotham

[The Yosemite Bear]

Wilson and Rose Slade kick his ass for horning in on their Territory.

After all one genetically enhanced contract killer can't beat two of them who are immortal.

I have no idea who you are talking about. I'm basing this very much on my own "version" of Batman. Where there aren't crazy superpowers and the like - it's just Batman a vigilante getting too old for his own good and the various villains who he's run into - they'll all have their own unique traits, but in a more realistic setting, like Nolan's Dark Knight movie setting.
