 In the character 's 2013 video game debut in Batman : Arkham Origins , creative director Eric Holmes dubbed Anarky a " classic anti @-@ villain " . A " social activist " who wishes to " liberate and free people " , Anarky views himself as a hero akin to Batman and offers an alliance with him . However his approach is rebuked on the basis that their methods are nothing alike . Nonetheless , he attracts a following among the city 's downtrodden and particularly the homeless , whom he protects from the hostility of police officers . This " special relationship " between the homeless who look up to a villain , who in turn acts as their protector against police who prey upon them , was intended to present an area of grey morality for the player to consider .
