You keep missing out on something special about the Visitor Center messages.  Once Joker (or in this case, Harley) is done speaking, after you turn around to walk away, if you turn to look back, the Joker statue will have moved positions. I couldn't always get it to work for me, or maybe some of the movements are just very subtle, but usually it's highly noticeable.

Is Crime Alley in the DLC meant to be the real one or just the one from the Scarecrow hallucination?

dscruffy1 posted:I didn't know this was a thing. I'm probably not going back to look at it again though. I've already got three simultaneous playthroughs going just so I can re-record if I miss anything. Autosaves are a double edged sword. It's such a minor thing that it's hardly worth going back for. It's just a neat little creepy thing that helps foreshadow the ending.

Got it in a recording before the game ends so it'll show up for sure. Not for a little while yet, but it'll show up.

Somebody mentioned what would happen if Batman actually took that step over the edge and killed somebody? If I remember correctly, a lot of the earlier comics Batman did actually kill people, the most noteworthy I can think of is when he hung a mental patient from the Batwing and didn't stop flying until he was dead, earlier comics Batman killed a lot of people, either unintentionally, or with ever intent of them dying. That being said, Dick Grayson did actually kill Joker in the Last Laugh, but Batman brought him back and dragged him to Arkham.

Disappointing that the Scarecrow hallucination is the same thing again. A bit repetitive. And what is supposed to be happening in reality when that's going on?JackNapier posted:Somebody mentioned what would happen if Batman actually took that step over the edge and killed somebody?

Ironically enough he's crushed a poo poo ton of people by accident under falling objects, once accidently shoved two men into a meat grinder, and in one case, he set a group of thugs on fire with a mixture of bleach and thermite from his belt, beat the poo poo out of them, and I guess Black Canary stumbled across him, beating men who were burning alive to death, she got turned on, and it's implied they boned in front of a pile of burning bodies, so yeah, sometimes, I think Bats might actually be crazier then Joker is, I actually have an issue for the Burned Bodies thing too, apparently it was one made by Frank Miller, which, explains a lot

You already get a sense of that if you look carefully at the backgrounds. The first Scarecrow area was just a square shape, like the morgue. The second features him steadily climbing, explaining how he ends up in the clock tower. JackNapier posted:I think it was later explained he told the authorities where he was and they went and got him, doesn't excuse the countless others he's brutally murdered I can't remember the full details, but in the original story there were some details that didn't match up with the later explanation. Something about KGBeast being wanted by the Russian government or something.

I think it's implied at the end of Killing Joke that he kills the Joker, since that story wasn't originally meant to be part of the canon. He does almost beat him to death in Batman: Hush, though.

I think that might be the reason why Joker is one of my favorite Batman villains, He's really the only one who stands on the same level with Bats, and he keeps pushing him to fall down to their level JackNapier fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Sep 4, 2014 |

Tiggum posted:I don't know about the comic it's based on, but I really liked The Dark Knight Returns miniseries, with much of it being about how the Joker only exists because Batman exists and as a way to show Batman that he's as bad as the people he fights, and Batman does kill the Joker, which the Joker regards as a victory. He doesn't kill the Joker. At the end, he comes very close to it, but he stops himself. It's made more apparent in the comic, where the Joker taunts him for not actually going through with it in the end, but going far enough to make people think that he did. Joker ultimately kills himself by twisting his own neck the rest of the way.

He also kidnapped Dick Grayson and spent a week driving around with him in the Batmobile because Frank Miller is absolutely nuts at timespans.

That's not the one where the Joker tried to order a burger, was it? Where they couldn't get his order right so he demanded to speak with the manager and shot the guy at the pick-up window? There is some distinctive Morrison hate going on in that post and it is glorious. I'm a Morrison fanboy, Let Moore keep writing his smut.

To my great regret I've never read the Killing Joke. But I really want to. Everything I've heard or seen about it is that it's pretty much the Batman vs Joker story. It's not exactly crazy to say that not all Batman stories are created equal, All-Star Batman and Robin kinda goes off the rails, since, well... Yeah. That was a thing. As for Batman killing the Joker in the Dark Knight Returns, not quite. The film is pretty accurate as to how he dies though, and to the book in general from what I've seen of it. He's acting fairly normal in his insane asylum until Batman appears on the TV at which point he...well, goes back to being the Joker. Then he quite deliberately snaps his own neck after the fight.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:No, this is the comic where Joker has sex with a woman, then kills her and has his (and this isn't a joke) shirtless henchwoman wearing Nazi swastikas on her bare chest clean up the mess. Ah yes, Bruno. No joke, that's her/his name. How do I know? Because she (or he) is in other Batman comics. I'm pretty sure she's in Dark Knight Returns at one point. Suffice to say, terrible in DC is by no means a new thing. But more about AA, which is definitely my favourite in the series (I would have said City, but I was very disappointed in the DLC and the thugs... I haven't played Origins yet, and am vaguely optimistic about Knight.) One thing I definitely like about Asylum is that very little is explicitly a surprise. There's nearly always some form of tell in there that all is not as it seems, from the coughing, to some Riddler funtimes that's actually visible before he makes his appearance (even before scruffy sees it), and even in certain sounds, voices, and things said (I'm not going to say anymore on that, because spoilers) My favourite had to be the big-goons, who have a toxic green glow in places that instantly made me say "Awwww, crap... He's working with Bane on this one?" Obviously, that ended up to be not-quite-right... But I was on the right track. As to the designs, I actually like them. Killer Croc has always been monstrous to one degree or another, Bane has often been a Rob Liefeld poster-child, and the grungy look to the villains gives me the warm fuzzies, because I grew up with the Tim Burton movies, and the later, darker 90s Batman stuff... She didn't mean to....
