* The Joker wants to drive Batman crazy. If Batman abandons a bunch of innocent people on an island full of supervillains (even if those people ultimately somehow prevail against Ivy, Scarecrow, Croc, and [[{{Cameo}} Clayface]]), Joker has ''won''. That leaves him with a small army and a nice PsychoSerum to play with as he figures out his next goal...

You spend the entire game taking on hordes of [[{{mook}} mooks]], battling all manner of nasty bosses, and experiencing many [[{{CrowningMomentofAwesome}} Crowning Moments Of Awesome]], all for [[spoiler:Titan Joker]] to go down with almost no sense of a real fight at all. Disappointed? [[GambitRoulette He was counting on it.]]

Finished Arkham City, the lunatics were actually a result of Hugo Stranges experiments


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 (The battles simply happen off-screen and are never brought up in-game) It seems if he did have superpowers, it would have something to do with his left arm. (Perhaps he can Summon blackholes, or {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, or turn people into dust, just by waving it) Which is why it seems forcibly constrained behind his back.

* Still, there are fights where you can actively knock goons off platforms and never see them again.

* You have to remember how many people were in danger. At first, Batman is just putting down goons and saving hostages. He couldn't let those people down.

** Irony here - Joker said when he gave Ivy a shot of Titan that he'd been hoping for a 40 foot plant. And in your Ivy boss fight, that's exactly what you get.

* Actually there are a few instances where [[VideogameCrueltyPotential you can purposely send goons to their death in JokerGas.]]
