John Noble is also that guy from Sleepy Hollow, which is where I know him from! He's great in that and I got excited when I learned he was voicing Scarecrow.

I'd be amazed to see the GCPD emergency response manual, considering how quickly they got that bus convoy readied and shuttling out citizens. I know that they needed to clear the streets of innocent bystanders so Batman isn't going around running over people, but come on! 6 million people in less than a day?

It's Gotham City, they're probably used to stuff like this happening.

I like how the Riddler's design has varied so loving wildly through games in the series. First he was traditional green suit and bowler hat, then a hipster, and now he's a mechanic that listens to Jimmy Buffet.

I mean, if Batman can read an inscription on a wedding ring that's inside a dude's large intestine, that's kinda it. He can do anything.

Edit: WHY DID HE EAT THE WEDDING RING. Why did he not just sell it? This is only gonna cause him pain and greatly reduce the resale value.

I'm guessing the killer made him eat the ring or something. I doubt it was voluntary.

If the killer made him eat the ring, he'd be dead before it could get to his large intestine.

Of course, if Joker hadn't been such a problem with Origins story I probably wouldn't hate this, and that wasn't even the same company, so maybe I should stop being so hard on Rocksteady for something that technically isn't their fault. But then what would I get angry about on the internet?

Yeah, I was thinking this too. If this was just the third game, I wouldn't have a problem, especially because I feel the only reason Origins even exists as a prequel is so they could do another game with the Joker since they killed him in City.

I feel that people's reverence for the Joker is getting out of hand and actually tainting portrayals of the character, as evidence by things like the Joker just HAVING to be in this game and HAVING to bring Mark out of retirement a THIRD TIME, as well as the stories from the Suicide Squad set about Jared Leto's stupid loving shenanigans that would get any other actor playing any other role loving fired.

Holy Terror is basically an object lesson that Frank Miller is a gigantic racist and doesn't understand why Dark Knight Returns or Sin City were good. I'm still amazed that they're releasing a third dark knight series. I am not, however, surprised that it's looking to be super racist.

It's a case of good performance bad script, methinks. I generally like the writing in this game but Scarecrow is one of the couple of characters that got really shafted. Poor guy just isn't imposing main villain material.

Good thing the Joker's here to tip the tides in his favor at the end of the second act because this is an Arkham game.

He's not technically under any orders but Scarecrow did talk to him and he was at the big group meeting and he did contribute money to the Arkham Knight militia. All Scarecrow asked him to do was hold off on making trouble until Halloween - Scarecrow's using him as a distraction.

Asylum feels very much like 'another Batman story' than its own seperate universe. The only thing that really affected the sequels was Titian, and the Joker's use of it. If the story had been told in a comic, it wouldn't have affected the status quo, they'd be able to go back to normal afterwards with a few handwaves to explain away why Joker is back to normal after.

You can also see this in the illustrations of characters that wouldn't appear in person until City, like Riddler and Penguin, and they're pretty much just their comic versions rather than what they've been defined as in the Arkham series.

Yeah I'd like to see how Riddler could be handled as the main villain of a story and not just a collectathon distraction for some other villains plan.

Of course that'd require the Riddler to have some kind of a plan other than trying to kill Batman with fluorescent green death traps. In the Joker comic by Brian Azzarello the Riddler mentions stealing something because it was supposed to be impossible to steal, so there's one direction they could take him in.

A game with Riddler as the main villain would be a Layton clone.
