MULTI Batman Arkham City Story Discussing Thread! *SPOILERS*

[Gizmo]

^^The Surgeon was the indentity thief hush I think his name was and Terry Mcginnis is Batman Beyond i.e the batman of the future after Bruce Wayne gets old and retires.

 

[GoldenHawk]

@KING STINGER........Nah, Bruce Wayne will never have children.

With Talia no less.

Also I think the cryptograph messages were from Scarecrow, he's alive since you can find his clothes in a place as part of a Riddle. And the most distinctive part of one his messages is he says he's the Batman's "Darkest NIGHTMARE".

And then there's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKWzDMUqD3w&feature=youtube_gdata_player

There's no hacking console, the prompt just appears and you can go in. Quiet an elaborate secret.
I'm gonna try and find this place.

The ending did feel abrupt but does leave a great deal left for interpretation and can be followed up in many ways. I think that Joker was killed also as a result that he already appeared in two games in the limelight and the writers just wanted other villains to take the center stage.

The wait for a sequel will be painful

 

[KING STING3R]

Here are all the possible hints for a sequel!I am expecting a new game announcement at VGA!
And BTW is catwoman story related or contain a main piece of pstorys puzzle?


Secret Radio Messages

Throughout the game use the Crypographic Sequencer to search the radio waves. there are a few stations that give off random numbers followed by a chime. These numbers can be decoded with a simple cipher by matching them up to letters in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3).

STATION 500.00/900.00

5 15 9 7 21 18 18 14 3 5 24 15 12 7 22 3 10 5 15 9 22 3 8 25 26 15 16 25 10 15 17 25 *music chime* repeats. Decoded as: "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME"
STATION 700.00/500.00

9 23 9 12 12 18 5 20 21 18 14 2 1 20 13 1 14 *chime* Decoded as: "I WILL RETURN, BATMAN"
STATION 200.00/500.00

3 20 26 18 26 16 24 1 11 4 24 9 3 8 5 2 12 18 6 16 7 11 3 10 17 5 13 4 21 8 *music chime*
Decoded it reads "C T Z R Z P X A K D X I C H E B L R F P G K C J Q E M D U H" According to YouTube user SierraTango187, the message when put through a decoder becomes: I AM YOUR DARKEST NIGHTMARE DARK KNIGHT. GOTHAM WAITS FOR HIS SAVIOR.


The Pregnancy Test

If you return to where the Joker's lair in the Steel Mill from the beginning of the game, you will find a pregnancy test next to Harley's things sitting on the ground. The test reads positive.
Possible Hints of a Sequel

After you beat the game, head back to Joker's Fun House, beat up the thugs, and then grapple up to Joker's old office. Walk to the back where Harley's nurse outfit from the first game is. Zoom in and look at the ground to the left of the costume to see a positive pregnancy test. During the end credits, Harley can be heard singing a lullaby. "Momma's gonna kill for you the whole damn world..." All this possibly the set up for the third game? Only time will tell.

oh, i didn't know that. But Rocksteady have already killed Talia Off (apparently) but she Could be alive.

BTW the Robin in Arkham city, which one is he? I believe there were 2 or 3 different robins, the first one became nightwing and then there was a second one and even a third.Is that right?

Holy SHIT! I'mma go find that boat rite now!

 

[GoldenHawk]

oh, i didn't know that. But Rocksteady have already killed Talia Off (apparently) but she Could be alive.

Ask yourself, Is Talia really dead? Joker killed the woman Batman loved and after he was defeated, chose to carry Joker out besides Talia. Doesn't that seem cold towards Talia. Then there's the fact that her body is never shown after she gets shot. Its entirely possible she escaped while Batman was fighting Clayface or something.

BTW the Robin in Arkham city, which one is he? I believe there were 2 or 3 different robins, the first one became nightwing and then there was a second one and even a third.Is that right?

Dick Grayson is the first who becomes Nightwing.
Jason Todd is the second who gets killed by Joker.
The current Robin in Arkham City, the third, is Tim Drake.

Also I found the boat and went inside...mind = blown

It was such a creepy moment approaching the body and then seeing him gasp for life for the last time, very eery moment. Also the fact that the secret was VERY well hidden, wonder how many other secrets like this are in the Arkham City world.

By the way read the manifest on the right which you find next to the bod). The shipment was too Dr. Crane (Scarecrow) and he ordered like 15 of them and was about to receive the rest. Apparently the shipment was...bugs?

What are you planning Scarecrow?

 

[Magma]

Batman Beyond game would be absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, the wait is going to be excruciating.

 

[Gizmo]

@GH.........I hope Scarecrow plays a major role in the next I game, I simply loved his illusions in Arkham Asylum and he was missed in Arkham City, the mad hatter's mission was sort of similar but it was just a 5 min long side mission.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

So there weren't really any hilarious moments in Arkham city, One of the best IMO was :

"TWO GUNS Abuses will lead to ban!" :lol:

AND also when Joker talks to batman at the steel mill the first time.

Batman: "It was all a lie, there' nothing wrong with you"

Joker: "You of all people should know there's plenty wrong with me"

 

[KING STING3R]

Is catwoman story related to main story?

 

[Zaid Tehsin]

[h=6]Just finished Batman AC - game was pretty amazing but a little short to be honest, khier.. as for battle system at first i thought its quite different, but NO ! its pretty much the same and i must say quite advanced, i'm still not very good at it.. getting the hang of basic combo mechanics, and i was surprised that u can now do x12 variation bonus moves and x5 gadgets move too, it would be some art however to use all of them in 1 freeflow(non-stop) combo.. its very addicting ! i was just trying this for the 2nd time this Ranked combat map, 2nd one.. and did a 92HIT combo eheheh..

View attachment 57427[/h]

 

[Gizmo]

^^Actually it's pretty easy to use 5 quick fire gadgets in 1 free flow, too me just 1 try to do it and I suck at this game.I've been trying to get high combos in the challenge map but the highest I've gotten in 31x and that too was just luck I guess.

 

[Jigger]

Clayface is Joker and Joker is Clayface...

How many of you saw it coming? and how could the best detective in the world fell for the same gag twice!!

Liked the twist in the tale very much though..

 

[Gizmo]

^^The good 'ol fake Joker gag.

but then If Harley Quinn actually did have the cure it begs the question Why didn't he just take it? Why? Was he trying to mess with the Bat? To see if he'd give him the cure or not? Or is it just an inconsistency in the plot?

ANd also what about all the people of Gotham City whp were infected with Joker's blood? They never really told us how they got cured or what happened to them.

 

[KING STING3R]

^Exactly what I thought! But as for Gotham civilians I think they got Alfred told in one of his calls.

 

[Jigger]

ANd also what about all the people of Gotham City whp were infected with Joker's blood? They never really told us how they got cured or what happened to them.

Yes they did tell us about that...
There was one call from Oracle where she tells Batman that they have manufactured the cure and distributing it among the hospitals...

 

[Gizmo]

^^There was? I guess I'll find out once I finish my second playthrough.

 

[Magma]

but then If Harley Quinn actually did have the cure it begs the question Why didn't he just take it? Why? Was he trying to mess with the Bat? To see if he'd give him the cure or not? Or is it just an inconsistency in the plot?

Yeah, I was wondering the exact same thing.

Can someone please explain this?

 

[DarkSlayer]

Talia will probably not be dead and so will be Ras' al Ghu. Batman said that he'll work on checking the Lazarus pit later. Maybe out of love he tests it on Talia if she's really dead. Or maybe just maybe, Joker is brought back to life by the Lazarus pit?. And what about Clayface? We all saw him falling back into the pit.

And I must say this game is big, so many plot details hidden throughout.. who knows maybe there are more. That Scarecrow's boat was sure as hell hidden well.

 

[R3Z0N]

Talia is most probably alive, can't let dat ass go to waste eh? =p AND ROCKSTEADY PUHLEEEZ MAKE A BATMAN BEYOND GAME! KTHX

 

[Gizmo]

But didn't clay Face fall into the Lazarus Pit at the last moment too? I wonder what sort of effect that'll have.

 

[GoldenHawk]

but then If Harley Quinn actually did have the cure it begs the question Why didn't he just take it? Why? Was he trying to mess with the Bat? To see if he'd give him the cure or not? Or is it just an inconsistency in the plot?

Talia got to Harley before she could give it to Joker, that's why you find her tied up. When Talia gets shot and drops the vial, then Joker picks it up.

Now remember when we were fighting "Joker" which was actually Clayface, did anyone at that moment see if "Joker" had any bones? Clayface, when he's impersonating someone looks the same save for the fact that when you use detective mode, you can see that he does not have bones. Same was the case in Arkham Asylum when he was behind bars and was impersonating Quincy Sharp. When you use detective mode you can see he does not have bones.

^Exactly what I thought! But as for Gotham civilians I think they got Alfred told in one of his calls.

And then "Alfred" sent us the cure as well? That was Mad Hatter. He was like tricking us into thinking the cure was ready, and then when we try and get it, we fall into his trap and then have to fight for control over our mind.
