Excellent thread. Positions and experience make all of the difference in the world. Batman knows Arkham's layout better than anyone here. However, Robin has experience within the prison as well, and Daredevil's radar sense could layered out the area for him and give valuable intel to his team. The biggest threat here are the Predators. Their high level of skill and experience would aid them greatly here. They could easily gain knowledge of AC and maneuver through the area quickly.
However, I would like to go in more detail. For team two, you have amazing combatants across the board. Captain America, BP and Green Arrow could match or even pull a win against Batman. Red Robin is no slouch himself, and him and T'Challa are very intelligent which is a plus for the team. Cap and BP slightly superhuman athleticism could allow them to keep up with Predator threats across the city. Robin's tech, Robin and BP intelligence, Cap's tactical knowledge and the whole team being accomplished fighters and all being team players from experience, I really think they could pull it off. Plus, their starting location is completely far and isolated away from the other teams. They already have a good amount of territory to themselves, and with that being the industrial area of AC, plenty of hiding spots to set up ambushes. Team 3 is directly across from them, so it would be best for them to attack and attempt to annex their province into their own. This would give them a huge strategical ground against the other teams. BP and Robin could set up traps along the border to hold back any intruding Predators or such. Plus, the have a subway system that allows for a plethora of tactical plans and executions.
For Team 4, this is very interesting. Vamp is superhuman by far, and DD's radar is a significant advantage to the team. Both Vamp and DD have superhuman senses, and because of that, the Predators could never effectively sneak up on them unless with the use of gadgets. Vamp can easily keep up with a Predator and anyone else on the other teams, plus unless Snake is packing syringes full of nanomachines, they can't put him down permanently. Jason Todd himself has shown to be a better fighter than Tim, and is willing to kill, and has good exp with prep. This team is a lethal combo, but I don't think they would cooperate together efficiently to take over the provinces of Arkham City. They are located directly next to Poison Ivy's layered though, which requires superhuman agility or gadgets to reach their, so they have the initial advantage of prep here for the scenario. Plus, Bronze Tiger has defeated Batman if I'm correct.
Team 1, Batman is obviously the greatest asset to them. A couple of things to mention however. Electra is not a equal or better fighter than most of the other guys all included in this scenario. She lacks the MA feats that suggest she could keep up with DD, Nightwing, Bane, Vamp, Robin, BP, Cap etc. That low level TP she has is dumb and I'm going to disregard it because she seldom uses it like ever...What does Cain have that suggests he could beat the other fighters I listed? Has he fought Bronze Tiger before? Snake is a competent soldier and has good feats, but as much as I love him, he could lose in a straight up fight against an experienced Predator or most of others on the other teams. This team is going to have to rely on Bat's experience and knowledge and the skills they already have here. Others might disagree, but I think this is the greatest advantage and disadvantage at the same time. A direct conflict with Team 2 or 4 in their respective territories would be a grave mistake. BM can hold himself, but this team is going to have to rely on tricks and stealth to gain ground. With Batman and his intel of AC and prep, that alone could allow them to gain strategic holdings of the city, but with the Predators, it would advise to use teamwork when on the ground of AC.
Team 3, well Nightwing wasn't part of AC canon-wise so I can't estimate for certain his familiarity of the prison. All are capable fighters howerver, especially NW and BW. You kind of handicapped Bane by putting him on Venom though. The rest of the team are very acrobatic and agile and it would be hard seeing Bane keep up with them in a fight against Team 2 or 3. Bane has experience himself though, he gave Batman the locations of the Titan containers so he knows the layout, which is a plus for the team. I can't say too much about this team when compared to the others.
My vote goes to Team 2 because they're the best "Team" here. Team players, martial artists, leadership, they're the complete package. I'm all up for debate though.
OMG I ignored the aliens lol. Well, that makes this more interesting...
