Community Playthrough - Batman Arkham Asylum

[blcklblskt]

Batman puts the Joker in jail.  It's Arkham's fault for letting Joker out.

Good timing! You should be able to catch up pretty quickly. We are not to far into the game yet.

I really like the fact that Batman has a strong sense of morality (although it is a quite an unusual one) and refuses to kill. Joker is the only one responsible for the murders he has committed. How do you figure its blood on Batman's hands?

@Fleach - I love to dark atmosphere of the game. I think it looks fantastic. Don't turn up the brightness to compensate. By doing that you are altering the environment in such a way that doesn't compliment the game imo.

There's no debate that Batman has a strong sense of morality. Although I don't think this version of him is as awesome as Christian Bale's portrayal. I can't get enough of how his Batman strikes fear into criminals.

As for the darkness levels... I recently got a new TV which is brighter. I'll get it calibrated too so darkness levels and loss of ambiance won't be such a problem anymore.

I guess I should get in on this, although the game was in my future plans.  I'm in.  I'll get started tomorrow.  I grew up on the 80's-90's comics and movies (plus watching the Adam West version on reruns), so a truly dark Batman is still a bit difficult to swallow.  Considering his back story, it does seem more fitting.

I'm curious to know how you guys are using your xp to level up your Bats.

Just got outside (I assume that's what you meant by "Medical Centre").  Man, I really enjoyed this: Mark Hamill manages to play the Joker without feeling like the same version as the Animated Series. 

Only niggling complaint is that Harley Quinn first appeared in Batman TAS, not the comic books.

Levelled up in Armour and Hitting Things.

Mystified by Portal-style room.

i just got outside the first place too, is that where you meant by exiting the medical center? map says i'm at Arkham East, and i'm looking at the Arkham Mansion

[Silent Scythe]

I got the remote control bat-rang, critical combo thing, armor upgrade and proximity explosive gel

[Fleach]

I've just been upgrading Batman's armour. My next upgrade will probably be something for combos.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

I got armor and the thing to tie up people on gargoyles or what have you.

[techwizard]

armor and better combos here. my question wasn't answered yet did i finish at the right place? i don't think i did but i'm not sure...waiting to progress more in case that is the place to stop.

That's where I stopped. Seemed logical and it was after a medical center bit.

[Crabmaster2000]

I'll risk a spoiler since we are almost at the deadline. I meant right after you fight with Bane and have saved the doctors. You'll be taken out to a dock and your progress is saved.

[techwizard]

oh, is the place we stopped far from that point? not sure if i'll make it by tomorrow but i'll try
