And meanwhile, hiding in the rafters tracking a quartet of thugs, picking them off one-by-one before pouncing onto the final terrified straggler holds all the appeal of following children home from school with none of the sex offender registration.īut you don't call a sewage technician to redecorate your bathroom, and you didn't come to me to hear about how a game is good, not when every other review's done that already. The combat is controlled simply and animates beautifully, flowing seamlessly from punch to counter to eye-watering heelkick to the chops with bone-crunching, trouser-tightening elegance. Batman, after all, is a master at making even his fuck-ups look like something he meant to do all along. It's one of the rare games that balances stealth and action and makes them both equally fun where the stealth isn't just a frustrating game of grandmother's footsteps and the combat doesn't make me feel like I fucked up the stealth. Which probably won't be as shocking, now that every other review has said the exact same thing, but it really is. But I just love that bit in The Dark Knight when Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart are talking about bringing down the mob, and it could almost be a scene from The Departed, until Batman flounces in wearing pajamas and a bucket on his head and no one bats an eye.īut once I mentally adjusted for Batman's underpants, I made the shocking discovery that Arkham Asylum is quite good. I had my doubts about Arkham Asylum because it looked like a dark, gritty game with scary horror elements, and how can you have scary horror when you're Batman, ostensibly the most capable fictional character since Jesus? (Ooh, edgy!) And how can you have dark grittiness when you're Batman, a man who swishes about in his underpants and a fabulous cape? This does feel like reaching for the low-hanging fruit, and Batman is nothing if not a low-hanging fruit. And I especially love how he expects to be taken seriously. I adore him from his cute little pointy ears to his big stompy boots. On Halloween night Killer Croc had crashed the Iron Heights Penitentiary airship and used it as a base when he took the Warden hostage.Like everyone else with the kind of social skills required to hang out on the Internet, I love Batman. The picture shown on the Gotham City story also has raw meat hanging from the ceiling. Scanning this pile is required to solve a riddle. Killer Croc had been hiding inside a lighthouse located near Ace chemicals, as evidenced by a large pile of bones. After this it's unknown where he went to before the Arkham Knight incident. Both of these unlock Croc's Character bio.Īfter the closing of Arkham City, Croc was hired by Harley Quinn to protect the antidote to the Joker toxin, When Batman came into the sewers with James Gordon and Aaron Cash to get the antidote he ambushed all three but was defeated by Batman using his last Freeze blast. In addition, when returning to the surface after meeting Ra's Al Ghul, one can see a cameo appearance by returning via the sewers and throwing a remote batarang to a hidden button.

Killer Croc had a small hideout on the sewers under Arkham City. It consisted of mostly tunnels and maintenance platforms and several locked gates. In the sewers under the asylum, Batman searched for the plant spores in Croc's lair to synthesize the antidote.
