8. Arkham City The Twist Is Foreshadowed Throughout
Throughout Arkham City, we were confused at how the hell the Joker managed to shake off his terminal case of Titan infection and appear renewed and replenished. Of course, we eventually saw that it wasn't really the Joker at all it was Clayface, and the Joker was still knocking on death's door. It's a well-done twist, and it came out of nowhere. Or did it? Well, if you look closely throughout, there are loads of clues that foreshadow the event. For example, when you fight the 'Joker', turn on detective vision. If you do this, you'll notice that unlike regular assailants, Joker doesn't have any bones. Furthermore, Joker takes an unholy amount of punishment from Batman, far more than you'd ever expect from a man who, despite being proficient in hand-to-hand combat, is just as breakable as a regular human. Obviously, this leads to only one conclusion he's not a regular human. The only thing that can withstand that amount of punishment without bones is Clayface, so it's easily possible to put two and two together before the big reveal. On top of that , when you rock up at the Monarch Theatre for the finale, you'll hear Joker heckling you with an odd amount of movie references, subtly cluing you in that he's actually Basil Karlo, Clayface's actor alter-ego. Combine this with the fact the movie boards are advertising a film called The Terror and you've hit the hint home run before the finale The Terror was the name of Karlo's most famous film.
