Description

 

Wow..SEVEN WHOLE YEARS! Has it really been that long?
 it seems like only yesterday when the Joker literally had "the Nuts take over the Nuthouse."

 but, quite alot of time has passed between Arkham Asylum and Arkham Knight.
 and, so to commemorate this long successful franchise that made us all forget Batman's prior failure in videogames,

 I decided to whip up this tribute piece that points out a common theme in each of the major game titles.


 1. Each game has featured The Joker as a primary villain in some form or another
    (Let's face it, "Batman" may be on the title, but Joker stole the show in each of them.)


 2. At some point in each game, Joker brandishes a gun, and aims it at Batman
    (you would have to be REALLY observant to have noticed this common theme in the span of four game in seven years.)


 It has certainly been one Wild and Crazy ride. we've had so much fun BEING Batman,
 and matching wits with the Clown Prince, that it's almost sad that it is now finally over
 (that is unless WB Montreal makes ANOTHER Batman Game in Rocksteady's stead like they did with "Origins")


 I can't think of any better way to show appreciation for the franchise,
 than to play all four games again, from Start-to-Finish, and relive what made Batman so great (to OUR generation, at least.)

I guess that's Joker's favorite gun.

Indeed.

If one plays as The Joker on the first Arkham Game,
you will find that Joker's gun is the exact same one in all the cutscenes.

(course, it only has one bullet ingame.
  but, it's an instant kill shot, and DOES reload after combat challenge rounds.)


But, the point is that Joker REALLY likes to point his gun in Batman's face.
which has become signature in the Arkham Series.

(Seriously, it is! even the 3D character models of Joker ha shim in this pose!)

a little surprised that you don't know.

Answer is: 'The Joker', a psychotic "crime clown" whose been Batman's arch-enemy for years (the only other villain to come close being The Penguin.)
AND, the villain whose been driving these Arkham Games since the first title in the franchise was released.

yeah, I know what he means by that. what I am trying to grasp is Why he says Six, instead of Seven.
I am pretty sure I checked the dates and primary game titles thoroughly, so I don't quite understand how I made a mistake here.

Uhm 2009 to 2015 is six years not seven
Never mind I forgot to count 2009 also as a year sorry

MetroXLR In reply to EpicCrasher [2015-08-29 19:40:53 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry about It. MOST people tend to make these mathematical mistakes by being "Off by One"

To put It simply (for anyone else who reads this comment.)

the years are as followed:


 2009 (One)

 2010 (Two)

 2011 (Three)

 2012 (Four)

 2013 (Five)

 2014 (Six)

 2015 (Seven)


Easy mistake to not count the ONE, and get SIX.

Valen123456 [2015-07-05 15:46:51 +0000 UTC]

Given that it was a common average handgun that killed his parents, Batmans probably more frightened of moments like this than facing down a huge chain-gun. Strange thought I had.

MetroXLR In reply to Valen123456 [2015-07-05 17:43:59 +0000 UTC]

I did notice how in every game Joker uses the same standard handgun.
though, I doubt Batman feels ant fear over something like that (Outright Hatred maybe, but probably not fear.)

Then again, Batman WAS afraid of bats for a long time (until he "got over it", as Bruce once put it.)
so, if he IS afraid..he's doing a real good job at burying it away, and facing what he dreads regardless.


Which I believe is the main reason Scarecrow is so antagonistic against him.
as Batman challenges something that Crane believes to be true: EVERYONE feels fear, and Fear eventually consumes us all.

7 years of the Dark Knight stopping the Clown prince of Crime. It's been a heck of a ride. I know it's soon, but maybe Rocksteady could make another Batman game that takes place in Batman Beyond.

MetroXLR In reply to dragonslayer32294 [2015-07-05 17:47:50 +0000 UTC]

I'm convinced that IF Joker truly wanted Batman dead, he would have done it a Looong time ago.

Not to sell Batman short, but Joker IS his arch-nemesis for a good reason.
Joker is just as smart as Batman, and in his own way is just as terrifying to others (Bats and Clowns, EVERYONE is scared of them.)


Joker considered it all to be a game..one that he wanted to keep playing
(even Joker admitted he didn't care about Batman's secret identity, and actually stopped others from revealing it from time-to-time.)


Ironically, the one person Joker could NEVER bring himself to really kill was Batman.
