Main Batman Gambit Discussion
In the first 3 paragraphs and the Laconic page only explain that the Manipulative Bastard/ Chessmaster must manipulate for it to be Batman Gambit, making it seem that is the main difference from a Zanatos Gambit.
[[Spoiler: Mater]] performs a rather impressive Batman Gambit [[Spoiler: Despite his reputation for lack of wit]] to get [[Spoiler: Axelrod]] to deactivate the Bomb on his snout.
Does anyone else think this needs a better name? These days, Batman isn't well-known in popular culture for conducting schemes like the trope describes. And at least in recent works, he doesn't seem like much of a schemer (not more so than any other hero, anyway). In my opinion, the trope should be renamed with a more generic and more descriptive word/phrase in place of "Batman". Something like "Probable Outcome Gambit", but better-sounding.
