10 Intimidating Video Game Bosses With The Strangest Weak Spots

2. KIller Croc - Batman: Arkham Asylum

Arkham Asylum remains one of the best video games anyone could wish to play but it does make some of Batman's fiercest enemies something of a laughing stock - none more so than Killer Croc.

Although it remains a decent boss fight, his weakness is painfully obvious from the off and is an example of the developers somewhat belittling one of the most physically imposing rogues in Batman's famous gallery. Instead of going mano-a-mano with the reptilian beast, the player takes him down by pinging a Batarang onto his comedically large shock collar which is just outright bizarre.

Here we have a nigh-unstoppable crocodile/human hybrid halted by the same technology that stops a yappy dog from keeping you up at night. Is the implication supposed to be that Croc is comparable to a naughty Shih Tzu? Surely not Rocksteady!?

Not only is this incredibly convenient, as even Arkham Batman would get pasted by this version of Killer Croc, but it's really freaking weird that Croc could even find himself collared up in such a way without a massive amount of explanation.
