9 Incredible Video Game Bosses You Never Got To Fight
4. Harley Quinn - Batman: Arkham Asylum
Trapped inside Arkham Asylum, you and Batman will make your way through the treacherous halls, battling dozens of goons, as you search for The Joker in order to free the captive Commissioner Gordon.
After an epic boss battle with the Scarecrow that both challenged usual video game tropes and personified Batman’s ethos brilliantly, players were ready and waiting for the next boss battle with Harley Quinn to be equally as brilliant.
It wasn’t.
We battle our way through tonnes of her goons, avoiding electrically charged flooring and completing her sadistic tests, all for her to be bested in a cutscene.
Maybe Warner Bros. didn’t want to let players beat up a mentally unstable girl, maybe Rocksteady ran out of time during development, but whatever the reason, when you catch up with Harley Quinn, Batman takes the reins from you and swiftly knocks her down.
That’s it, no epic boss battle, not even a quicktime event, she is completely subdued in a tiny cutscene. At least we can take a revenge pop at her in Arkham Knight.
