4. Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City was a big deal when it was released in 2011, for many reasons, not the least of which was its choice to kill off the Joker. He appears sickly throughout the first portion of the game, but part way through, he appears healthy again, implying he is cured. Eventually it is revealed that the healthy Joker is actually an impersonation by Clayface at the real Joker€™s behest.

Quite a surprising reveal, right? Well, maybe not for the more observant players. Should you happen to turn on Batman€™s detective vision while looking at the Clayface Joker, you€™ll notice he doesn€™t have a skeleton. This is direct evidence that the healthy Joker is not what he appears to be.

It€™s actually pretty easy to stumble upon this reveal, though if you aren€™t looking, it can be easily missed. Doubtlessly, many Batman fans picked up this little detail and figured it out long before the rest. It€™s quite clever and rewarding to those clued in on the story, and it€™s this attention to detail that makes a great game even better.
