* In regards to the EarlyInstallmentWeirdness on the main page, it actually makes sense in context. Batman being snarky and friendly to both Oracle, Gordon, and the Arkham staff? The game takes place between ''Origins'', when he was just starting out and believing he needed to do things himself, and ''City'', when things in Gotham were practically going to hell in a handbasket. By now Batman's had years to ingratiate himself into the city and enjoys a tight relationship with a police force almost completely cleansed of corruption. Sure Arkham and Blackgate are still a CardboardPrison, but he's been able to beat down his rogue's gallery for years now. Can't blame him for getting a little cocky and comfortable. Expanding on that, Joker's takeover of Arkham and how dangerous the Titan formula proved to be has shaken him, leaving him backsliding by the time of ''City'' and especially going into ''Knight''. As for the lack of starting gear compared to the other games? Consider what Batman was doing at the start of this game compared to the others. He was escorting Joker to Arkham personally to minimize issues after having foiled a hostage crisis. This was likely something Batman thought would be routine. That said, he did expect Joker might plan another breakout shortly after, he did note it was way too easy to catch Joker this time, so he made sure his best gear was either close at hand or easy to retrieve, and in the worst-case scenario he did have his secret auxiliary Batcave on the island.

* Zsasz goes missing after after Batman rescues Dr. Young. At this point, Joker has the Titan formula and plans to ship the finished drug into Gotham, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' confirming 12 containers. Joker had Zsasz sent away as a guard for the Titan shipment. That and Zsasz was rambling to Joker how Batman would "get him" if he didn't have Dr. Young as a hostage - that was when Joker realized Zsasz was useless on the island. It's only because Zsasz was still entertaining to him that Joker didn't dose him with Titan.

** Two: One wonders where the Ventriloquist was during this whole ordeal,and why he wouldn't have Scarface with him. Then I remembered something in one of the Spirit Of Arkham Messages saying that Quincy Sharp beat a paranoid schizophrenic man to death. That WAS the Ventriloquist. This would explain how Warden Sharp HAD the puppet in his office in the first place.

*** It actually makes a lot of sense why Waylon wouldn't eat Scarecrow: He was looking for Batman, a man in peak human condition, who probably would be quite a meal. Instead, [[MasochistsMeal he catches a withered middle aged skinny man, probably smelling of chemicals (If not full of drugs altogether)]]. Of course he wouldn't want to eat Crane!

Added an example about Xbox 360

Added DiffLines:

*** This goes ever further for those playing the game on an early revision of the [[Platform/Xbox360 Xbox 360]]. These consoles are notorious for GPU problems after a few years of use, so the glitched screen can give the impression that not just the game has died, but rather the entire console.
