Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Killer Ways To Resurrect The Joker

1. A Killing Joke

In the above video, you see the end of Batman's fight with Clayface in Arkham City, followed up with the end of the game that sees The Joker's death. However, there is something interesting... when the Lazarus Pit explodes, Batman is knocked back by a concussive blast and he blacks out. We don't truly know how long he was blacked out for, and quite honestly, anything could have happened in that time frame. Two scenarios spring to mind. What if The Joker took the cure that was in Batman's hand and then swapped it out with something else before he woke up? After all, Joker's insane, not stupid, and it seems incredibly stupid to attack Batman and stab him in the arm that is holding the cure that you need to live. Joker could've easily faked his own death and had Batman carry his "corpse" out of Arkham City, technically aiding in his enemy's escape. That would leave Joker with the last laugh, something that he always strives for. The second scenario that comes to mind is the fact that the Lazarus Pit can only be used once per each individual. Clayface got dumped into the pit but Joker could've hopped in right after him after Batman was knocked out for that brief period of time. Once again, Joker could have escaped Arkham City while Clayface, alive and rejuvenated, resumed "the role of a lifetime" to trick Batman again. Rocksteady Studios is not some fly-by-night operation filled with hack writers and unoriginal thinkers, chances are that if normal people have caught on to certain things in the games, they were meant to be there (like the numerous Easter eggs hidden throughout both Arkham Asylum and City). With the final chapter set to close on this amazing trilogy, expect Rocksteady to throw in everything, including the kitchen sink. And if you truly think that The Joker, the most iconic villain ever, won't at least make a cameo in this inevitable game-of-the-year, then the joke is definitely on you.
