As great of a villain as Joker is, I hate how every Arkham game always had to go back to him. I enjoyed the first two games and was really excited to play Origins based on the trailers and the fact that we were finally getting a different main villain, and one that wasn't as popular as many of his other more well-known ones with Black Mask. Figured they had a really good premise going with him and the others. So it was incredibly disappointing to learn that "PSYCHE! IT WAS THE JOKER ALL ALONG" before I ended up even buying it. Completely killed my interest, and while I do eventually plan on playing it when I get around to it, I still haven't to this day because of my disappointment, nor have I played Knight yet either.

The Batman franchise has one of the best cast of villains in comic book history, and yet Rocksteady continually had to default so much back to the Joker being behind things. Such wasted potential.

It just showed a lack of confidence in their own product. They're so worried of the game not selling well that they think hamfisting the Joker in as a way to ensure audience attention is a great backup plan in case no one cares about Scarecow at all, which is beyond absurd considering the Nolan trilogy made Scarecrow more mainstream in the public eye. The lack of risk taking and playing it safe really did sully the rest of the Arkham games with their flip -floping commitment to making other villains the main star for once.

Every Single batman villain is as good or better then the joker especially modern joker where he always has to have some grand plan or scheme which should be ridders thing.

I feel like Batmans original rouges have been more or less phased out of relevance.

No one wants to hear about Penguin anymore no one talks about Clayface or Scarecrow or Dr Hugo Strange

They turned Bane and Twoface into Memes and Ra's Al Ghul into a joke

Arkham Knight's identity. They come up with an interesting design for an anti-Batman among hundreds of anti-Batmen. Wasting it on Jason Todd, when they could have just made an original character or just use Red Hood from the get-go (or any of the other anti-Batmen like Wrath or Hush).

It's hilarious the amount of coping they were doing about the "nuh-uh! It's totally not Red Hood!" and everyone figured it out the moment the first flashback scene of Jason Todd showed up.

Ra's is a perfect "central villain" but its a shame they had to finish it with the whole Joker storyline. Hush would have also been a great choice and they even were hyping people up with it in City but then his sidequest in Knight was super wasted. Sucks they wasted Black Mask with a Joker twist.

No one wants to hear about Penguin anymore

They just put out a TV series about the Penguin and it was so well received that it even won a Golden Globe for best actor with it now being called the "Heath Ledger" of Joker performances.

Who needs more than 29 frames per second?
