The PROJ-X Trilogy
[edit]The PROJ-X Trilogy was a series of benefit concerts founded by businessman Randy Gibson and co-founded by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure. The concerts aimed to push for the passing of mutant rights during the Mutant Rights Movement of the 1990s. The concerts consisted of PROJ-X, colloquially referred to as The Original PROJ-X; a multi-venue concert in three countries to bring awareness to mutant bigotry, PROJ-X for Genosha; a single-venue concert held in Pasadena, California to raise funds for the victims of the Genosha Massacre, and PROJ-X Marx the Spot; an international series of benefit concerts held in thirteen countries to celebrate the passing of their respective mutant rights acts and to celebrate the first anniversary of the singing of the Superhuman Rights Act of 2009 in the United States.

PROJ-X, colloquially referred to as The Original PROJ-X, was a multi-venue benefit concert, as well as a music-based fundraising initiative and protest. It included three concerts held on Saturday, July 11, 1998. The event was founded and organized by Randy Gibson, who conceived the idea in 1994 and co-founded by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the relief of victims of mutant bigotry, raise awareness, and advocate for mutant rights. This movement was sparked by the attack on Professor Charles Xavier in 1997 by Henry Peter Gyrich, a government liaison known for his anti-mutant sentiment. Billed as the "musical protest of the century," PROJ-X took place simultaneously at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium (now Northwest Stadium) in Landover, attended by 83,987 people; Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, attended by 64,023 people; and Wembley Stadium in London, attended by approximately 85,578 people. The show aired without interruptions and with minimal commercial breaks; sponsors for the event provided the commercials.
On the same day, performances inspired by the initiative were held in other countries, such as Russia, Mexico, Japan, China, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil, France, Australia, and Germany. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 5.17 billion, in 195 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 63 percent of the world population.
PROJ-X was considered a world-changing event and a groundbreaking movement in the mutant rights debate. It brought wider attention to the current mutant crisis, increasing pro-mutant support and a wider push toward granting mutants their rights. News reporters praised Randy Gibson's strategy of marketing and promoting the show, and the safety and security precautions taken to deter violent anti-mutant protests and resistance. Commentators stated that the concert stood as "a testament to those who speak out against things that people are too scared to say" and that the show "exemplified making statements for those who can't state it for themselves".
Two related shows were released years afterward: PROJ-X for Genosha, a standalone concert broadcast in July of the following year, and the international concert series PROJ-X Marx the Spot, broadcasted twelve years later in 2010. All three make up what's informally called The PROJ-X Trilogy.

PROJ-X for Genosha

PROJ-X for Genosha was a benefit concert held on July 10, 1999. It was a charity event, a music-based fundraising event, and a protest. Though related to the original PROJ-X concert held a year prior, it was a standalone show and only had one venue instead of multiple. The show was held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The concert was held to raise money for the victims of the 1997 Genosha Massacre, where Sentinels attacked the island nation of Genosha in a bid to create Mutant/Human tensions as part of Operation: Zero Tolerance, concocted by the cyborg Bastion, enhanced mad scientist Mister Sinister, and Sentinel creator Bolivar Trask. The funds would go toward relieving the victims of the massacre, rebuilding the nation, and improving the nation’s economy.
The movement started with the Genosha Fundraiser by archaeologist Nina da Costa, wife of businessman Emmanuel da Costa, and mother of Roberto da Costa / Sunspot of the X-Men. It became a bigger movement with the release of the charity single “X Equals Human” by Voices of Unity, which many contributing artists claimed was inspired by the original PROJ-X concert. The concert was initially supposed to be a fourth venue for the original PROJ-X held on Sunday the day after the show, instead turning it into a separate concert to avoid overwhelming concertgoers, secure more available artists, and exceed the already expensive budget of the original show. Gibson announced the show on May 30th, 1999; initially wanting to hold the concert on April 10 to commemorate the Genosha Massacure's second anniversary, Gibson decided to host it at a later date due to the benefit concert Genosha: Rise from the Ashes, founded by mutant rock star Lila Cheney, being held on that same day.
The show had an even bigger satellite link-up and television broadcast. An estimated audience of 6.3 billion in 225 nations watched the live broadcast, nearly 80 percent of the world's population. It was broadcast live on CNN for a worldwide audience.
PROJ-X for Genosha was an acclaimed success, generating over $412.7 million in donations.

PROJ-X Marx the Spot was a string of benefit concerts on July 12, 2010, in the First Twelve countries and Israel. The show was meant to celebrate the passing of superhuman rights acts in over twelve countries between July 2009 and May 2010, the first being America on July 16, 2009, with the other twelve countries following suit. The show had a total of fourteen concerts. Thirteen simultaneous concerts were held on 12 July, twelve of them in the first countries to pass rights along with "In His Image"; a Christian music concert in Israel, and one on 16 July on the first anniversary of the Superhuman Rights Act of 2009 being signed into law. It also coincided with the 12th anniversary of the first PROJ-X concert. The concert also aimed to encourage other nations to grant mutants and other human subspecies their rights. The United Nations pledged to encourage world leaders to stand against mutant bigotry and end discrimination in their countries. The money generated would go to many pro-mutant organizations, foundations, and charities. Half would be given to the mutant nations of Genosha and Krakoa. The show was broadcast on over 180 television networks and 1,987 radio networks. Organizers presented the "PROJ-X Call List" for politicians to take action against discrimination and bigotry.
PROJ-X and PROJ-X for Genosha organizer Randy Gibson announced the event on May 30, 2008. Many former PROJ-X acts offered their services to the cause. Randy Gibson had stated that he always planned for another show to happen if mutants ever gained their rights (he also expressed wishes for it to happen if he was no longer alive). Before the announcement, Randy had begun plans to organize the event in August 2009, a month after the Superhuman Rights Act was signed. Many news sources referred to the event as PROJ-X III, though Randy would later explicitly clarify that it was not the official title. Randy revealed during a curtain speech at the Washington D.C. concert that the show would be the last PROJ-X event and would be retired due to its goal of pushing for rights to be achieved. However, he was open to possibly bringing it back for one more show should a mutant-related cause be big enough to warrant its return.
The show was released on DVD and VHS on November 15, 2010, in the United States, and on November 16 internationally.

Batman Family: Legacy of the Bat is a 2029 action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman and his closest allies, it is the successor to the 2024 video game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a direct sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight (2015), the first game in the Batman Family trilogy and the sixth main installment in the Batman: Arkham series. Written by Nathan Burlow, Darius Sadeghian, and Preston Meville, Legacy of the Bat is inspired by the long-running comic book mythos, as well as Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV's limited series Batman Eternal. Set five years after the events of Arkham Knight and four months after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the game's main storyline follows Batman's closest allies and their struggle to protect Gotham City following their mentor's departure from Gotham, as new villains emerge from the shadows. One mysterious new villain, known only as the "Chaosbringer", plots to plunge Gotham into utter turmoil.
The game is presented from a third-person perspective, with a primary focus on the Batman Family's melee combat, stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets. Unlike previous Arkham games, the game focuses on Batman's extended family as playable characters. Each member can freely move around the open world of Gotham City, interacting with characters and undertaking missions, unlocking new areas by progressing through the main story or obtaining new equipment. The player can complete side missions separate from the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Combat focuses on chaining attacks against numerous foes while avoiding damage. Also, stealth allows the character to conceal themself around an area, using gadgets and the environment to eliminate enemies silently. Legacy of the Bat introduces playable vehicles for transportation, puzzle solving, and combat.
Development of Legacy of the Bat began in 2025 after the commercial and critical failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and took place over four years. Rocksteady opted to use its writers for the main story in collaboration with comic book writers Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Scott Snyder, and Paul Dini who had worked on Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Introducing multiple playable characters required a change in the gameplay methodology of Dual Play, as only Batman was playable in the main story modes as other characters appeared playable in certain situations and challenge maps. Multiplayer was introduced for story mode, but is optional and the internet is not required to access the game. The game also excludes microtransactions and loot boxes due to criticism from fans following the lackluster reception of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Legacy of the Bat was released worldwide on May 15, 2029, for PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 6, and Xbox V. The current generation console versions received critical acclaim and were considered a return to form for the Arkham series and a general improvement over Arkham Knight. The previous generation versions of the game and the Windows version received favorable reviews, though the Windows version was criticized for apparent bug issues. At release, the game was the fastest-selling game of 2029, and the fastest-selling game in the Arkham series, reaching over 7 million units sold globally by September 2029. It was also the 4th best-selling game of 2029 in UK. A Nintendo Switch version was released in December 2035.
The game also received several accolades, including Best British Game, Best Game, and Best Action-Adventure Game. It was also featured in many lists of the best video games of 2029 and the 2020s. Numerous post-release content was released for the game, including story-based missions, challenge maps, skins for the Family, different historical Batmobile designs, and racetracks. A sequel of the trilogy, "Batman Family: Blood of the Knight", was released on June 2, 2033.
Gameplay
[edit]Batman Family: Legacy of the Bat is an action-adventure game set within an open-world Gotham City. It can be freely explored from the beginning of the game, allowing them to travel seamlessly anywhere within its boundaries. Many of the gadgets and the gameplay elements from the previous Arkham games return, including the grapnel gun, the Disruptor, line launcher, explosive gel, batarangs (and similar weapons), the countering system, Voice Synthesizer, Detective Vision, and the Remote Hacking Device. The Voice Synthesizer is upgraded to include voice options for voice syncretization. New gadgets are introduced, including Bat-Tracers, which allow you to plant tracers to track enemies and objects, and the Holo Decoy, which grants a holographic decoy to distract enemies. Some gadgets are exclusive to certain characters.
The player can use different traversal methods for different characters; some can fly throughout the city using their cape, while others use other methods, such as wings. Some gadgets, such as batarangs or the line launcher, can be used while gliding. A new wall jump feature is introduced, allowing the player to traverse walls and surfaces.
The game's "Freeflow" combat system allows for basic attacks, including strikes, counters, and dodging, which can be combined to keep the player attacking while moving between enemies, and avoiding being attacked themself. Basic enemies include those armed with shields and shock batons, while others are armed with guns, which significantly damage the player. These enemies can perform a charge and tackle attack only used by larger enemies in previous games; precision-timed dodging, and a batarang can instantly defeat some charging enemies. The system gives the ability to combine attacks on prone enemies without interrupting a combo streak. The player can counter enemy attacks, and throw them into other enemies for increased damage. The player can also disarm enemies by wielding items like baseball bats and using the acquired weapon on several foes before it breaks. The "Dual Play" function returns, in which players can seamlessly switch control of one to one of their allies during certain events of the game while in Freeflow combat, the player enters when they have accumulated an uninterrupted combat streak. Each successful, uninterrupted attack adds to the player's combat score, which carries over between each controlled character and unlocks double-team takedowns on opponents at higher scores.
Throughout the city, the player encounters enemy watchtowers, guard posts, aerial drones, and explosive mines embedded in the city streets. Some drones can be hacked and turned against their allies using the Remote Hacking Device. The game reintroduces the "Fear Takedown," where the player can subdue up to five enemies simultaneously as long as he remains undetected; time is slowed after each takedown, allowing the player to target the next enemy. Hazardous items such as power generators can be used in combat for environmental attacks. Combat is rewarded with experience points (dubbed "WayneTech points" in-game), which are used to unlock gadget abilities, combat moves, and health upgrades. The player can access grates from afar, allowing them to roll forward and immediately get under the grate if in range, instead of having to be right on top of them and initiating multiple takedowns from within them. Some enemies carry devices capable of blocking one's Detective Vision.
Legacy of the Bat features side missions, known as "Most Wanted" missions, which can be attempted at any time and feature prominent characters from the Batman universe. One such character, the Riddler, provides 243 optional "Riddler challenges" to solve. These challenges consist of collecting trophies hidden throughout the city, using gadgets or Batman's car, the Batmobile, to disable traps and barriers, and completing timed races. The player can mark Riddler trophies on the in-game map once found if they do not initially have the necessary equipment to complete the puzzle, and learn of additional locations for collectibles by interrogating the Riddler's henchmen.
The player can investigate crimes such as murders, using his Detective Vision to reconstruct the crimes to locate clues and identify the perpetrators, or use his Tissue Scanner to investigate a victim's skin, muscles, and bones for clues. Completing the story mode unlocks a New Game Plus mode, enabling the player to replay the game with all the gadgets, experience, abilities, and Riddler collectibles they have obtained. The completion of some tasks is reflected in the Gotham City Police Department, with thugs and supervillains becoming incarcerated, and criminal memorabilia from missions and previous games being collected in the evidence room.
Vehicles
[edit]The game introduces various drivable vehicles. The bulletproof Batmobile can be summoned to the player's location while on foot or, if the player is airborne, to meet the player as he lands. Each vehicle can perform jumps, speed boosts, rotate on the spot, smash through objects like barricades and trees, and fire missiles that can immobilize enemy vehicles. The player can eject from the vehicle and begin gliding immediately around Gotham City.
Most enemies will flee at the sight of the vehicle, eliminating the need for the player to fight them, and enemies attacking it can be subdued by its automated taser defenses. Like the player character, the Batmobile can be upgraded with new abilities. Riddler challenges also feature objectives requiring the Batmobile, such as timed races in tunnels beneath Gotham City, where the environmental obstacles change during each lap, and invisible question marks that must be revealed using the Batmobile's scanner.
The vehicle has two modes, which can be switched anytime: Pursuit and Battle. Pursuit is for moving from area to area and completing specific driving challenges. In Battle mode, the vehicle transforms into an assault form, allowing a full 360-degree range of movement, including strafing in any direction, while revealing the multiple weapon systems on board, including a Vulcan rotary cannon for quick damage, a 60mm hypervelocity cannon for fire support, anti-tank guided missiles for wide-ranging damage against multiple targets, and a non-lethal riot suppressor.
Synopsis
[edit]Characters
[edit]
Legacy of the Bat features a large ensemble cast of characters from the history of Batman comics. The main characters are Tim Drake (Matthew Mercer)—Batman's former sidekick Robin who has taken up a new mantle of Red Robin to serve as Gotham's new protector, Nightwing (Josh Keaton)—the first Robin now serving as the protector of the sister city of Bludhaven, Red Hood (Troy Baker)—Batman's second protege and the former villain known as the Arkham Knight, Barbara Gordon (Kimberly Brooks)—who has resumed the identity of Batgirl after a successful surgery that restored her ability to walk, and Catwoman (Grey DeLisle)—a master thief who once had an on-and-off relationship with Batman. New playable characters added include Batwoman (Laura Bailey)—a wealthy heiress and Batman's cousin moonlighting as a bat-themed crimefighter, Bluebird (Ashly Burch)—an electrical engineering savant inspired to fight crime after once being saved by Batman, Spoiler (Erica Lindbeck)—the daughter of an obscure supervillain attempting to thwart his plans, and Huntress (Vanessa Marshall)—the daughter of a mafia family taking revenge on the rival mob that murdered them. Allies support them, James Gordon (Mark Rolston)—Batgirl's father and former GCPD police commissioner now the mayor of Gotham, Alfred Pennyworth's daughter and SRR operative Julia Pennyworth (Lena Headey), police detective Renee Montoya (Fryda Wolff), Wayne Enterprises CEO Lucius Fox (Dave Fennoy) provides the Family with tactical support, the new GCPD commissioner Aaron Cash (Duane R Shepard Sr.) and a new Oracle (Morena Baccarin)—an artificial intelligence designed by Barbara who provides information.
Throughout the city, the Family is faced with several supervillains: they must overcome a plan by Gotham's criminals to dismantle Gotham City and plunge it into chaos; Other missions include deposing Two-Face (also voiced by Baker) who's taken over the Penguin's territory after he departs from Gotham, confronting the Riddler's (Wally Wingert) challenges, capture the venom-enhanced criminal Bane (Fred Tatasciore), and subdue the veteran assassin Deathstroke (Patrick Seitz).
The game introduces a new villain known under the alias "Chaosbringer" and the game spends much time deducing their identity; the prime suspects include the military genius and gang leader the General (Sam Witwer) who has become the new Anarky after usurping Lonnie Machin (Max Mittelman), mind-controlling criminal Mad Hatter (Peter MacNicol), Bruce Wayne's former friend Hush (Roger Craig Smith), and the Riddler who plays a more significant part of the story than in previous games. The D-list villain Cluemaster (Brett Dalton) near the end of the game is initially revealed to have orchestrated the plan to throw Gotham into turmoil in an attempt to become more notorious. It is then revealed that Punchline (Isabelle Fuhrman), a villain intentionally unannounced by RockSteady, was the real mastermind, having manipulated Cluemaster into orchestrating the events for her. Other villains include the pyromaniac Firefly (Crispin Freeman), the facist vigilante Lock-Up (Earl Baylon), crazed artist Crazy Quilt (Keith Silverstein), former gangster Signalman (Jake Green), the kite-gimmicked Kite Man (Jeff Bennett), the noblewoman mercenary Lady Vic (Kari Wahlgren), the hacker Calculator (William Salyers), the serial killer Victor Zsasz (Danny Jacobs), the jewel thief Magpie (Nika Futterman), Joker fanatic Duela Dent (Cherami Leigh), disfigured criminal finance Great White Shark (David Hayter), and Onomatopoeia (Michael Winslow), a serial killer that hunts non-superpowered superheroes.
Legacy of the Bat also features appearances and voice cameos by various characters drawn from the history of Batman comics and the previous Arkham games, including corrupt corporate businessman Roland Daggett (Keith Ferguson), reporters Vicki Vale (also voiced by DeLisle) and Jack Ryder (James Horan); the latter of which appears as the Creeper (Sam Riegel), police officer Jason Bard (Andrew Bowen), former Batman love-interest Silver St. Cloud (Laura Post), Kate's father Jacob Kane (Brian Bloom), and Damian Wayne (Scott Menville) the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul (Emily O'Brien), while the game's downloadable content features appearances by Prometheus (Diedrich Bader), Man-Bat (Loren Lester) & She-Bat (Cissy Jones), Doctor Phosphorus (Jason Spisak), and both the Arnold Wesker (Jim Cummings) and Peyton Riley (Misty Lee) versions of the Ventriloquist.
Setting
[edit]Two years after Scarecrow attacked Gotham and Batman's disappearance and four months after Braniac's invasion of Earth, Batman's closest allies are struggling to protect the city in their mentor's absence and left to wonder if Gotham can be a safe place without Batman protecting it. Crime in the city has declined significantly and citizens rest comfortably. However, enemies in Gotham start to plot to dismantle Gotham and take over the city for themselves.
After an
Arkham Knight's Gotham City is approximately five times the scale of the open-air Arkham City prison in Arkham City. The game takes place in the center of the city, which is split into three islands: Bleake, Founders, and Miagani, with various districts such as the neon-tinged Chinatown, and the industrial shipping yard. Bleake Island features shorter buildings, disheveled areas, and abandoned docks, while Founders Island is a modern development of skyscrapers built on the ruins of Gotham slums, and Miagani Island is an older metropolis with Wayne Tower at its center.[1] Oracle has set up her communications headquarters in the Gotham clock tower, which also houses a makeshift Batcave.[2][3]

The Knights of the Old Republic Saga (KOTOR Saga) is an American media franchise and shared universe based on characters from the Star Wars franchise. Aaron Chaston created it and Dave Filoni, the executive vice president of Lucasfilm. The KOTOR Saga is an adaption of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) video game series, aiming to reintroduce the franchise's narrative elements into Star Wars canon. The KOTOR Saga features a united continuity and story across live-action films and television, animation, and comics.
In 2032, Aaron Chaston who played Orion Astor in The Starbirds, approached Bob Iger about a plan to revitalize KOTOR following the positive reception of the remakes of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and the all-original sequel Knights of the Old Republic III: The Hidden Empire. Chaston & Filoni were hired to lead the project after working on The Starbirds. The pair spent several months with writers developing the overarching story for a new sub-franchise. It was announced that the main trilogy would be adapted into a set of live-action television series on Disney+ to better thin out their respective narratives.
The story of KOTOR is divided into chapters, starting with "The Prodigal Knight" which began in 2035 with the chapter's first series, Knights of the Old Republic. The second chapter "The Jedi Exile" started in 2040. A prequel chapter, called "The Knights Before", detailed events from before the main events started in 2044. The third and final chapter "The Forceborn", began in 2048. All chapters concluded with a theatrical film Knights of the Old Republic: Fate of the Galaxy, and Legacy of the Old Republic a television special that served as the epilogue and final entry of the saga.
