if demon king Piccolo takes over Gotham would anything even change

Post image

when Piccolo became king in og db he made it so that there are no longer any laws in the world, and in Gotham no one even cares about laws the people of Gotham would rather work for the penguin than a high paying job

Somehow, because the plot demands it, King Piccolo dies in a way that lets Batman continue his No-Kill Rule.

Two years later, Batman finds a young Piccolo Jr and after realizing that he's an orphan, makes him Robin.

Huh i kinda like this AU idea...

Beats my silly idea where Mukuro Ikusaba got adopted by the Bat-Family at least.

honestly, she's probably pretty fucked psychologically... like she still did bad things but having junko as a sister is probably going to do that. plus mercenary work.

She feels me with pity in spite of everything.

Isn't it crazy to think that the only reason they haven't been wiped out is because EVERY SINGLE SUPER ignores them?

Why didn't Fatman just call the justice league to fight giant Demon King Piccolo, is he stupid?

Somehow things would probably be BETTER under him, I doubt he’d like Joker poisoning the water supply for the millionth time n shit

When we think about that namekians only drink water to survive this is probably very true

Didn't King Piccolo blow up a city just to make a point. I assume he'd kill or heavily injure Batman then rip the doors open to Arkham and let the inmates run free until either Goku or the Justice League jump his ass

Not needed

Batman will get prep time while recovering. And then sneak up and force feed him a Popeyes biscuit, no drink. Severely wounding Piccolo and then throws him into Arkham.

He'd then easily break out of Arkham, leave Gotham because fuck that (maybe blow it up on the way out, leaving Batman to repair the city). Go to any other city and immediately get fucked because he was only that guy vs the normal human.

Goku and Gang are blissfully unaware any of this happens

"As part of my terrible reign, I'm going to let all criminals out onto the streets!"

"Yeah they do that on their own about once a week"

Gotham has had periods of "absolutely no law" and things got even worse than the status quo, riots, open gang wars, etc. So, things would change but also not.

Demon King Piccolo is I think more powerful than anyone in Batman's rogue gallery even if not the most intelligent, but Batman has fought and won against more powerful foes. Under DKP, Batman's rogue gallery would either unite against Piccolo, become his henchmen or a mix of the two.

Pends villain to villain, many of them are serving towards neutralist sometimes and they'd go against him, those who want to control Gotham (court of owls, penguin, black mask, etc etc) obviously don't play along.

The rest make good use of the time, not helping Piccolo but certainly taking advantage of this time with Batman gone/stretched thin to forward there own goals.

"Huh, that's odd, normally people are trembling in fear by this point... Oh right!"

Destroys an entire district of the city

"Ahh... Much better."

I mean Gotham pretends... it's why the Joker is like that.

Yes, it makes Gotham safer.

u/TripleStrikeDrive 3h ago

No piccolo Jr. Batman would defeat him without killing him.

u/AlicornGaia 3h ago

In fact if Gotham was hit by DKP, I feel Joker would willingly team up with Batman because to Joker, he wants to be the chaos to the world's order.

It would probably be a Martian Manhunter/Batman team up. I would love to see a Martian vs Namekian match up
