Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the Catwoman DLC mission to get her loot back from Two-Face, Two-Face says, "Whoever kills the Cat gets to be my number one... guy" in a manner very similar way to how Jack Nicholson's Joker says to Bob (the goon) "And remember... you... are my number one... guy" in the Tim Burton's Batman (1989) movie.
- GoofsWhen Batman strings up Two-Face his hands are free. When he is completely strung up, his hands and feet are tied behind his back.
- Quotes
[Batman is tied up to a chair atop Joker's mill; Harley is up close to him, trying to take a peek under his mask]
The Joker: Get *back* here, Harley.
[Joker coughs]
Harley Quinn: Aw, but I wanna know who he is, sweetie!
The Joker: No one's who you think they are, my dear. Why spoil the fun?
Batman: It was all a lie. There's nothing wrong with you.
The Joker: Nice of you to say, but you of all people should know... there's plenty wrong with me!
[He comes out of the shadows with a big smile. His face is covered with boils and his right eye is filled with blood]
The Joker: [holds up bottle of blood] Take my blood, for example. I wish somebody would. This stuff is killing me!
Batman: Why should I care?
The Joker: Because, now... you have a teeny little bit of me in you too, Bats!
[Batman dramatically looks to his left and sees he's hooked up to a machine that injects the Joker's blood into him]
The Joker: Oh, c'mon. Don't tell me it's not what you always wanted. Look, we're running out of time, I need your help. I nearly had a cure; it was so close and then it was taken from me.
Batman: So we both die. I'm fine with that.
The Joker: Are you? Imagine... sucking down that last breath, knowing Gotham is doing the same.
Batman: What are you talking about?
The Joker: Oh, didn't I say?
[hops onto Batman's lap]
The Joker: I've spent weeks shipping samples of my blood to emergency rooms all over the city.
Batman: So that's Protocol 10: poison Gotham. I expected more
The Joker: Protocol 10?
[dramatic gasp]
The Joker: Never heard of it.
[leans into Batman's ear]
The Joker: Hold tight.
[Batman, still strapped into the wheelchair, bursts out of one of the mill's top windows]
The Joker: I'll be in touch!
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: At the end of the third Catwoman mission, she is given the option to rescue Batman or leave Arkham City. If she chooses to leave the city, the credits will roll and the voice of Oracle can be heard pleading for help because everybody else has been killed.
