"Innovative DRM"

Yeah they were definitely lying about the glide ability being DRM... they were just trying to mock someone who posted a tech support problem before the game is legally available. People have reported issues with the Glide ability post-release in retail disks. The Game really runs SecuRom for digital distribution... ... jury's out what the retail disk has though.

The issue would only happen if the PC has programs that try to stop the DRM, such as TexMod or Dameon Tools. Works fine for me. 90.198.34.103 (talk) 09:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page typos

On the "combat" subsection, a sentence appears twice. " accomplished by using only three buttons: Attack, Stun and Takedown. (...) It is based on using only three basic attacks: Attack, Stun, and Takedown."

Second one should be removed, as well as the dot after Takedown in the first sentence, and everything works again ;).

World Record

Apparently the game has set a Guinness World Record for most critically acclaimed super-hero game created. I'm adding this. Link —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dylan1122 (talk • contribs) 07:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can somebody do it for me? I can't, for some reason. Dylan1122 (talk) 06:02, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't we update this?

The game's out, we should put the proper villains list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.239.25.18 (talk) 18:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If someone who knows how to cite the game can list them all, then yes. But be patient. It's only been out a day. --Teancum (talk) 18:10, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's already full game footage on youtube. 76.239.25.18 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:29, 26 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Well I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm not going to watch hours of footage just to update a Wiki article. --Teancum (talk) 18:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can really go through and remove the whole box and cover them in the plot section: Zsasz, Bane, Killer Croc, Ivy, Scarecrow, Harley (barely), and Joker are the game's villains/bosses. The rest are either not there but mentioned, not at all, or just giving easter egg bits (to elaborate for example, Ra's is a corpse that vanishes when the game ends, Riddler's impact is that he leaves clues all over the game to collect, and Mr. Freeze has a viewable profile if you check his cell).

The table could be done away with, let the plot section handle it.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All of the 'big actors' are mentioned in the Development section, but per WP:GAMECRUFT we shouldn't put in a voice cast list. You can find a listing at IMDB (Internet Movie Database --also for games) in the External Links section where you can see all the cast. --Teancum (talk) 18:37, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, according to that article, there should be a voice cast list because the voices are notable.96.243.250.120 (talk) 03:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but they are already mentioned in the Development section, so they are covered per that article. --Teancum (talk) 11:54, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

should links to the intenet game be included? http://www.arkhamcare.com/ and http://www.gothamcitymunicipal.com/ this is one of those find the clues to gain access to other areas of the website(s)games directly related tot eh video game. it expands on the games back story —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devlyn16 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Accusations of Review fixing by RamRaider

Umm, should this even be included on the page? It was barely out in the press and at this time it seems like little more than an un-verified and un-substantiated accusation by a blogger who comes across as "I like to be mad for its own sake". The page shouldn't include every accusation about every product released, even if the company did respond officially. HunterZero (talk) 21:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree. I'll take it out, it did seem sortof like a "bitter old gamer" statement. --Teancum (talk) 18:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ending Scene

It says that Bane appears and grabs a box of Titan at the end. From my experience, I saw Scarecrow's hand appear and grab the Titan. Has anyone else seen this?--72.95.250.102 (talk) 15:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that different villans will appear and grab the box based on the difficulty the player beats the game on.Easy,normal,and hard for Bane,Scarecrow,and Killer croc respectively.--173.71.63.193 (talk) 16:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since that's the case we should probably remove it. Truthfully it's a spoiler anyways, we don't want to give it away :P --Teancum (talk) 16:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's random anyways. I beat it on normal and it showed me Bain instead of Scarecrow.96.243.250.120 (talk) 17:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We don't concern ourselves with spoilers, Teancum. If a reader doesnt' want to know, they shouldn't be reading here. ThuranX (talk) 18:21, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

True, irregardless listing multiple endings isn't necessary when we can merely mention that the ending changes based on difficulty, or not mention it at all. --Teancum (talk) 18:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I beat it on Hard and Bane reach up to grab it not Croc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.238.75.75 (talk) 07:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are three different scenes, and it appears to be random: either Bane, Croc or Scarecrow will grab the box of Titan formula. Difficulty is apparently unrelated to which you get in this case.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 13:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So how -or- should we include that in the plot section? I'm leaning towards no, but am open to opinion. --Teancum (talk) 14:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just say that as Batman flies away from Arkham, a randomized appearance of Bane, Killer Croc, or Scarecrow grabs the box of the Titan formula.64.85.234.166 (talk) 12:35, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Characters

Do not remove the characters section. All information about which characters appear or are referenced should be here, not in all the character articles. This is the article about the game, and we don't need 4k of plot explosion in each character article. Find more sources, find voice actor credits, and interviews, there are enough to build the section with real-world material, but removing it doesn't improve the article at all. ThuranX (talk) 18:20, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We have note of the major voice actors in the Development section, maybe we should move that to the characters section. I also pruned out the bio/riddler mentions of villains into one statement. --Teancum (talk) 18:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

--ZzBrutal Bobzz (talk) 15:35, 29 October 2009 (UTC)== Plot == The article states that after Joker attacked Blackgate Prison, Batman captured him. I thought the original attack was on the Mayors office, and later we find out a mysterious fire caused the transfer of Blackgate prisoners? --Gimpy (talk) 03:08, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts exactly! The Manual says that, and Commissioner Gordon, when Joker escapes, mentions the attack on the Mayor's Office, this should be changed. Alec92 (talk) 16:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct. Joker did not attack the prison. Also, the plot states that Dr. Young dies from a bomb planted in her office, but the bomb was actually in the Warden's office. Austinrh (talk) 17:06, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The new plot "trim" is far too vauge and very poorly worded. Revert back to previous plot. Austinrh (talk) 19:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the initial start. However, I will point out that there is not a lot that happens plot-wise with this game - it is not a "deep" story. Yes, Batman battles Croc, Scarecrow, etc. etc., but those characters have little to no impact on the core plot - Joker getting and using the Titan drug. As we don't summarize a work point-by-point, we can summarize out most of those encounters to the few that are necessary. --MASEM (t) 20:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

someone needs to fix the part that states that Croc's arm grabs the crate of Titan, it was Scarecrow not Croc. Osiris 4:52, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Look at the "Ending Scene" discussion above. It randomly shows Scarecrow, Croc, or Bane grabbing the Titan.--96.236.168.251 (talk) 21:13, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Masem, I agree that the plot should not be a point-by-point summary, but I would still argue that it would be to the interest of most readers to include the enemies he encounters and in what capacity. I still think the plot is too vauge. Austinrh (talk) 21:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You've got the enemies listed below - including the distinction between which ones are actually fought verses those that are referred. To try to explain, for example, the confrontation with Croc, is a lot of extra text that is largely unnecessary when all that really happens is : Batman collects sports from Titan-invested plants from Croc's lair. Even that line is extraneous. But, I do understand a bit, so let me add a bit to the characters section that may make that better. --MASEM (t) 21:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, much better. Austinrh (talk) 22:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking for the beginning, what do you guys think about it starting like this? "After a seemingly random attack on Gotham City's Mayor's Office by The Joker ... " In beginning of the game they placed emphasis on the fact that it indeed was a "Random" attack on The Mayor's Office. Just a suggestion. Alec92 (talk) 23:12, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ra Shal Goul and Prometehus

They were confirmed to be villains, why arent they in the characters section-98.117.43.50 (talk) 01:05, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because they're not in the game. Ra's al Ghul's corpse appears as a solution to a riddle, but that's it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.149.4.142 (talk) 10:31, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Same with Prometheus. Alec92 (talk) 16:13, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OTS?

According to the article and a few sources, this game uses an over-the-should perspective. Now I know that yelling "I own and played a copy and it is different" won't work so I'll just post it here. This game doesn't use the OTS camera like Dead Space or Resident Evil 4 (or 5 for that matter), in some cases the camera does switch to that position, mainly during cutscenes. Anyway, before I started yapping about the game, is there a decent source out there that will back up my random rant? :) --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 22:44, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understand what an OTS is but, just to be safe, is it when the camera is in a fixed position (over the shoulder, duh) is it when you rotate your character the camera follows? because in Batman: Arkham Asylum when you rotate your character, you can see the front of Batman. Am I correct when I assume this? Alec92 (talk) 16:15, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! The camera isn't fixed and the camera usually does hover behind Mr. B's back! --Soetermans | is listening | what he'd do now? 21:30, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Penny Arcade

In reception, penny arcade was cited as a source of review for the game, but as far as I know penny arcade's video game experience is about technically professional as a twelve year olds in america, can we get actual reputable sources who review video games on a professional level or just remove penny arcade? Theres no reason this needs to be here. I thought the game was enjoyable as well, and I have a blog. Can I be a reputable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.128.15.155 (talk) 16:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are numerous factual errors in this comment.

First of all, Penny Arcade was not cited as a "source of review" it was simply quoted for Jerry Holkins making a relevant comment on the game in the reception section.

Secondly, Penny Arcade is a professionally run video game related website, and the creators are acknowledged members of the gaming media. They regularly receive review copies of video games the same as any other members of the gaming media, and are invited to E3 as part of the professional gaming media. Additionally, they have actually produced 2 video games so far, so you are factually incorrect in your assessment of their video game experience.

Your comment comparing them to "twelve year olds in america" is irrelevant and seems to be intentionally disrespectful. Penny Arcade is not equivalent to someone having a blog, as you have insinuated. Holkins and Krahulik run a professional gaming website, a large national gaming convention, a million-dollar gaming charity, have produced actual video games, and have worked professionally for Assassin's Creed, World of Warcraft, Dragon's Age, and Tekken, just to name a few titles.

But most important of all, companies give them games to review, and they post their views on their professional gaming website. That is what professional reviewers do and that alone qualifies their comments to be included in the reception of this game.

Personal opinions regarding Penny Arcade have no place here. --68.63.52.101 (talk) 07:33, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Villan's hand in closing cutscene

I just beat the game today and I think its fairly obvious the hand belongs to killer croc. The scaled greenish skin, pointed claws, manacles, and the fact that he's in water. I don't believe the game makers meant for that to be ambiguous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.103.114 (talk) 21:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's what you saw. I saw unambiguously the Scarecrow's hand, and I think others have reported Bane's hand. It is not that it isn't ambiguous as to whose hand it is , it is the conditions for which hand you see and what impact it has on the story (counterexample: in BioShock, the conditions for the three endings are very clear and there is a drastic impact on the ending tone. Here, it is just preparation of a sequel if anything else).--MASEM (t) 21:58, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is ludicrius! if you hadnt played the game and you read "the hand of another villan" wouldnt you be confused? Say "The hand of killer croc, scarecrow, or bane". It depends on the players performance, google it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.80.140 (talk) 21:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Horror?

Wouldn't this game be considered a survival horror? I mean the run-ins with villians such as Scarecrow and Killer Croc seemed to be pretty creepy.

Nah, it might be consider scary, but the gameplay isn't aimed at such an experience. See Resident Evil, Silent Hill or Dead Space for true survival horror video games. --Soetermans | drop me a line | what I'd do now? 09:14, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Voices...

As far as I see there is currently no section concerning the voice actors in the article (although according to the discussion page there used to be a list in the development section...). Anyhow, I think it's important to add the cast. There are notable actors and additionally it should be mentioned that part of the cast is the same as in Batman: The Animated Series. --94.75.96.62 (talk) 13:56, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are mentioned in the characters section; the only three noted by the press were those for Batman, Joker, and Harley, so that's about as much weight as we can give that. --MASEM (t) 14:25, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Third image

I was thinking that the third image could be animated to better depict the animation and the "swooping" mechanic. Thoughts? - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:03, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cast list?

I can provide the complete cast list if that would fit in, at the moment some of the actors are just mentioned in a paragraph. BluesHarpGuy (talk) 16:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikiproject Video games standard is to try to fit the most notable actors into the prose rather than a cast list. Thanks though.--Teancum (talk) 18:56, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DRM?

Shouldn't games have some information on the digital restrictions management in use? I saw this for sale on steam but was trying to figure out what SecuRom 4 machine activation limit actually means. I know the Xbox360 version doesn't have that garbage, but the pc version has issues worth noting in this article. Should this be in the video game template? Teque5 (talk) 06:07, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See the second half of the first paragraph in the "Development and marketing" section of this article. --Teancum (talk) 09:51, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That appears to have been removed. I was certainly very very surprised when I bought this game that you *require* a Windows Live account or whatever nonsense Microsoft is pushing these days, and you MUST be online to play, even though it is single player! How come everyone kicked up such a fuss about Sim City (2013) requiring a network connection for the single player game and not a peep was made about this? I think it deserves at least a line in the article - somebody must have criticised it.81.154.218.110 (talk) 00:07, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a reliable source that covered it then I agree, however I don't remember that being the case. --Teancum (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FA Push

Hi, I want to take this article to FA so it and City can be united. There was some good info to grow from here, but I'm struggling to think where to go next. Does anyone have any suggestions for additional coverage, good references or free images of cast and/or marketing that could be relevant to the article? I think a NFC image of Harley Quinn would be good alongside some critical commentary, as I recall there was some criticism of her being one of the few female characters and so sexualised in her redesign. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 10:45, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did a lot of work to get this to GA, so I'm excited to see it head toward being an FA. Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable with FA-level prose. The best I can do is go reference hunting if you need some facts to back a statement up. Just ping me here if you need something. I have this page on my watchlist. --Teancum (talk) 12:44, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's a small part of the gameplay with a "citation needed" tag and anything about the comic would be useful or Wildstorm, the comic I can't find any info about, the source there doesn't contain a lot of the sentence it is sourcing in the article. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 18:55, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Does anyone more familiar with the story want to give the plot a look? It's a while since I played it but I'm unclear on the Titan situation, the formula is destroyed in the library, but after Young is saved, Batman says Joker has Venom and the formula, and he is somehow producing Titan elsewhere in the gardens. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 23:11, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the reviews in the article such as IGN, Wired, GameSpot label the game as a third-persion action game, the only one i noticed also listed adventure was the Xplay one, is there a source for it being an action adventure or is meant to be an action game?

Mac OS X developer/publisher

Feral Interactive developed and published Arkham Asylum for Mac OS X on 3 November 2011. To omit Feral Interactive from the lists and mentions of other developers/publishers would be to incorrectly imply that WB/Rocksteady developed/published the Mac version themselves. Here is the Batman: Arkham Asylum mini-site on Feral's official website: http://www.feralinteractive.com/en/mac-games/bmaa/ Eeeeeb (talk) 14:35, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feral Interactive is a non-entity, it took an already existing and released game, and made it work on another platform, they added nothing and the result was a minor releae that received neither recognition nor awards, yet your edits attempt to thrust them as high on the article as you can, and your many edits relate solely to the same across many articles, the promotion of Feral Interactive, so you are either a giant Feral Interactive fan or employed by Feral Interactive, either of which places you in violation of WP: COI and WP: NEUTRAL. The publisher/porter of the game is not important, over the next 50 years it may be ported to many platforms and it will be inappropriate and impractical to list them all in the opening sentence, the OS X version is mentioned in the lead already also. The infobox relates directly to the core original game, my own personal stance is later formates and dates should be under a collapsible list, but Feral Interactive does not require mentioning in the lead, here or on Arkham City, it is not special in relation to the game, and it provided nothing towards the core game, it does not belong in the infobox. It is mentioned, as appropriate, in the release section where the releases are mentioned. This is more than sufficient for anyone not attempting to heavily promote this individual company with a minor involvement in this game's history. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:22, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the interest of full disclosure, I work for Feral Interactive. I've added this info to my userpage so people are aware. My edits are intended not to promote the company but to update information and ensure factual correctness, such as listing Feral among the publishers of a game. In this case, while I understand that the sentence in the top paragraph might give Feral undue weight, I feel that to leave the publisher out of the info box is incorrect, as what's there right now implies that the wrong publisher/developer is responsible for the Mac version. The platform OS X is listed, but the only publishers listed are Eidos and WB, strongly (and incorrectly) suggesting that they published the game for the OS X among other platforms. Note that the publishers/developers fields have no criteria about who published/developed it first, or who is most "important to the core game".

Further to this, Feral is not a non-entity, as its games feature original development for which its Mac versions (not the original versions) have actually won major awards, including a BAFTA (The Movies: Superstar Edition) and an Apple Developer Award (Deus Ex: Human Revolution). I agree with the collapsible list idea, as long as the information is there. When Feral is mentioned as a publisher/developer, having Mac OS X in parenthesis makes it clear that it was not one of the original developers/publishers.Eeeeeb (talk) 11:09, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The guideline does actually say talk about ports in prose where necessary. There is no explicit implication that Rocksteady developed the OSX version, while it is explicitly mentioned in the prose that Feral worked on the port. Also I remind you that people who have a vested interest in a subject are not permitted to edit that content in articles, actors aren't allowed to edit their own articles, they have to request edits be made, and your edits on WIkipedia have been solely self-serving towards the promotion of Feral Interactive which is a blatant Conflict of Interest. Feral's contribution is covered fairly sufficiently for what it is, a port of an existing game. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My point isn’t about the prose but the infobox. There is a section in the infobox that lists publishers and developers. Feral Interactive is a publisher and developer of this game. How important or unimportant you deem the company or its work is irrelevant to this fact. For one of many examples of this, see Tomb Raider: Legend, where developers for other platforms are listed under a drop-down menu. This is what I suggest for AA and AC.

Regarding the conflict of interest, please note that it has already been disclosed. Furthermore, WP:COI does not mention that editing your own articles is not permitted as you claim, but very strongly discouraged. Be that as it may, I am not currently editing this article. I’m following guidelines by suggesting edits on the Talk page. Eeeeeb (talk) 16:02, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just because other stuff exists (ie the Tomb Raider page), doesn't mean it is necessarily correct or should be followed. Due to the scope of both Arkham articles, the mention of Feral in prose is perfectly sufficient, given that it is just a port. As for the conflict of interest, there still is one, due to the fact that it only became disclosed after Darkwarriorblake questioned you on it. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:27, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feral developed and published a version of both games (AC and AA), which is why I suggest it should be listed in the infobox along with the other developers/publishers. To give it less weight than the original developer/publisher, I suggest putting it in a dropdown list. And I agree - I was not saying the example is necessarily correct or should be followed. I was suggesting it. I also agree that there's a conflict of interest, I wasn't denying that. Again, I'm following guidelines by discussing edits on the Talk page. I’m a new editor to Wikipedia and did not think to disclose my position to begin with. Though it’s worth noting that I disclosed of my own free will - either that or I was outed, which would mean darkwarriorblake is in violation of the policy against harassment. WP:OUTING Eeeeeb (talk) 17:00, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OUTING is when another editor posts your information, which was not done. Darkwarriorblake just questioned your connection to the topic, due to COI. If you want more opinions on this matter, state your case at the Video Game wikiproject to bring in other opinions. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:51, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I would add a comment to this section, the Mac version did add things that some of the other versions didn't have, (it also won some Mac awards for the quality of the Mac version). The Joker DLC was a PS3 exclusive on initial release but it was built into the Mac GOTY release, it has never been added into the 360 or PC versions. Additionally the Mac version had increased gamepad support compared to the other versions allowing Mac users to play with various gamepads from the 360 to the Playstation pads and many others, this was a well received usability feature by Mac fans of the game. Most other games pages that have different developers and publishers on different platforms are credited, I think a case could be made that this page is different to the norm and adding the information on the developer/publisher on the Mac is relevant and also corrects a problem with the main page, namely is suggests the developer and publisher on the Mac is the same as Windows which is incorrect. In the interests of full disclosure I worked as the producer on the Mac version (I am still a Feral employee) including working on the Mac specific features like the Joker support and improved gamepad support. I would be interested to see what other editors think about this suggestion given the fact that the Mac version has some specific features that make it different to the other versions. However due to my connection to the game I will leave the rest to the wiki community but I am available to give any details/facts if other editors want/need them.edddeduck —Preceding undated comment added 11:46, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given a notable source I don't see an issue with mentioning the Joker DLC came with the OSX version, but gamepad support, improved or no, is not notable, any fan has a gamepad preference over another. Per WP:OTHERSTUFF, other articles doing something does not mean other articles should be doing it. This example at Sonic the Hedgehog shows why it is not feasible to accommodate every possible iteration of everything, but at the end of the day, Rocksteady made the game, Feral made it work on something else but even the Joker DLC wasn't new, it was ported over.

Rocksteady Studios developed the game. Feral added no new content to the game, they simply ported it. That requires development, sure, but I don't think it should be listed as one of the Developers. Putting them there might confuse people into thinking that the OS X is actually a different game since it has its own developer. I think Feral's involvement in the port is adequately handled in the Release section. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change to gameplay Section

I have a made a small change to the sentence "and cryptic messages left in the asylum by its founder Amadeus Arkham that discuss the facility's bleak history" by deleting the reference to Amadeus Arkham. The identity of the person leaving the messages is not revealed until quite late in the story, so this sentence as originally drafted is a spoiler.Colmarr (talk) 01:00, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who voices Scarface?

In the third Scarecrow-induced nightmare, Scarface is seen talking on the monitors, and he sounds a lot like George Dzundza, does anybody know if he (George Dzundza) voiced him (Scarface) in here (BAA)?--Siamesehare (talk) 04:00, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's the joker actually, not another voice actor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drumerwritter (talk • contribs) 05:08, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Villain at ending

why does wiki say it is a mysterious villain, and in the edit page it says to not edit it as it is "unclear" at to who the villain is, when its clearly bane? somebody sort it out please —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carmi88 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is because there is a randomized cutscene at the end that could show 3 different hands: Scarecrow's, Bane's, or Killer Croc's. If you don't believe me, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ug78iNN7yQ. Razr95 (talk) 00:29, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are three different final cutscenes depending of the difficulty in wich you had the game you finish. Easy=Bane's hand, Medium=Crok's hand, and Hard=Scarecrow's hand.

Branched Titan Box ending

I just tried to explain the ending where a hand appears and grabs a Titan box, and, as any faithful player would now, it can be Bane’s, Scarecrow’s or Killer Croc’s; if anyone wants to correct that or my gameplay additions (and the small note on Quincy Sharp’s dual personality as Amadeus Arkham), please contact this page or my talk page before reverting it.
