Hear me out, the guy seems just as crazy as the regular psychopaths. But for some reason, instead of being put in their quarters, he is in isolation behind glass. The only others that get this treatment are Poison Ivy and Clayface, which implies he has wicked dangerous superpowers. Even Mr. Zsasz resides with the generic psychos, so the special treatment this guy is getting really says something about him. And he is also on Joker's party list, why would Joker include a random psychopath and none of the others? Perhaps because in the Arkham games continuity only, he's an A-List villain (We just never see or hear of Batman fighting him) It seems if he did have superpowers, it would have something to do with his left arm. (Summon blackholes, or EldritchAbominations, or turn people into dust, just by waving it. Which is why it seems forcibly constrained behind his back.

** Makes sense actually... he could be setting up for something even bigger ie a sequel. Just as the unmentioned adventure before the game started was, as Batman said himself, "too easy", Joker may have at some point decided that this current plan was failing in a way he didn't liked and simply started up a new plan using this one was a stepping stone. Or otherwise felt the jokes weren't amusing anymore and wanteed to pull a new gag. He is CrazyPrepared much like Batman, after all. Unlike the unmentioned adventure, by using this one which is certainly not 'too easy', Joker could start into motion other things without Batman initially suspecting. And heck, if it was what the WMG suggests from the start, seeing his mooks get pummelled across Arkham is probably good for laughs.

* While the first game never out right said it, me thinks that ol' Sharpie was, and still is, possessed by the ghost of Amadeus Arkham. It's obvious that the first half of the tablets were from Arkham, with the later ones eventually being from the Warden. Much like Deadman, only evil, Arkham is using Sharp to carry out his desire of ''cleansing'' Gotham of it's evil. This would also explain why in the Spirit tablets Sharp is cold and sadistic sounding, but during the game comes off as a coward who fears for his life (of course, he could just be playing the part). This would also explain how he dissappeared from the island and why the runic symbols were on the floor.

** Not the way I see it for one of two reasons 1) Joker wanted Batman to go Crazy so if Batman would not play along Joker would give up. 2) Joker would be so confused he ends up standing out in the open and getting clobbered... or somthing like that.

** Batman never gives up, so we don't know how Joker would react to it... (I think) For all we know he would take it designing to go into opera sinning. Besides he is nuts.

* Well at the vary lest Joker is off his A game after that. He is obsessed with Batman, so hes not only insulted he is hurt. Makes a mistake and the heads off the Beast. Who out? Zazzs? the gourds could have handed him. Harley Scarecrow were not expecting to defend themselves from were they were. Mooks are stupid.
** You mean the mooks that killed most of the guards and took over the place in the opening? And the guard that Zsasz ''took hostage and nearly killed'' right at the start? Yeah, those guards did a ''stellar'' job of handling those "stupid" mooks. The Joker didn't take over the place single-handedly, you know. Joker being off his "A game" if that's even what would happen, isn't an InstantWinCondition.

* And even if it would somehow defeat Joker if Batman just upped and left (which, as noted above, is unlikely), let's face it -- Batman's not just going to leave and let the Joker run around and do whatever the hell he wants on Arkham Island, even if he does give up eventually. That would probably mean innocent people would end up dying and suffering, and as long as he's around he can protect them.

Do you think all of the goons he fought survived? Given the pounding he gave them many would have succumb to internal bleeding and head trauma. Both Batman and Gordon see these as 'acceptable loses'
* I believe it, I mean, do you honestly think being pulled off of catwalks to the ground, being strung up on gargoyles and being cut down ''head first'' and you can hear cracks when Bats pulls off some attacks, and the explosive gel sending the shrapnel at the goons, etc. would ''not'' end up with death or at least someone being paralyzed?! Because if you do, you're nuttier than the Joker and Deadpool ''combined''.
