8 Shockingly Simple Solutions To Landmark Gaming Deaths
7. Joker - Dont Stab Batman... He's Trying To Cure You
If the in-game Joker was like Ledger's 'dog chasing cars' version, it'd surely have bitten the driver if one ever stopped to offer a lift. Throughout all of Rocksteady's second title you're pretty much playing as an ailing Dark Knight, forever at the mercy of Joker's early-game injection that's slowly eating away at your wellbeing. Bats' journeys from the streets of Gotham through to Ra's al Ghul's underground city and even all the way to the top of the tower to tackle Hugo Strange - it's all to track down a workable and administrable cure for both himself and anyone who needs it. Joker however, ends up biting the big one in the end despite their being the presence of a cure within arm's reach. Hang on a minute though... Although it's an easy go-to to just say that Joker does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, his choice to stab Batman as he's attempting to track him down - thus breaking the phial of serum that would save his life - is fantastically stupid. Sure it's about as much a Joker-move as firing a pistol with a 'bang' flag poking out, but considering the whole scene plays out with Bats saying he would've saved Joker regardless of everything he did (something the Clown Prince would've known anyway), why the hell was his way of greeting him in this exchange started by stabbing him in the arm that's carrying the antidote?
