If you check the answering machine in Bruce's office there's a message from her inviting him to her wedding :3:

Wasn't that the Kate Kane or something? I think she said something about her marriage to another woman, and Kate is the only gay Batgirl. (And I think she calls herself Batwoman? And is technically dissociated with Bruce or something? It's been a while, I may be mixing characters together at this point.)

I feel like you may wanna spoiler the first part of your post. Not that I give too much of a poo poo about spoilers.

You're right though, 95% of the people playing this game don't read the comics, and a huge portion of them only have a cursory remembrance of the movies/TV series. The fact they went with the knight being Jason Todd is actually kinda cool. It is a good nod to people who know anything about the Universe, but obscure enough that most of hte players would be surprised. It's also a neat way to "re-introduce" a villain who I totally forgot was even in the cartoon

The Arkham Knight is Jason Todd, the second Robin who was killed by the Joker.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
I stand corrected on Robin. Based on 2 ingame city stories, it sounds like Todd happened while the Asylum was completely abandoned, which means it was between origins and Asylum.

Game would have been better if you had cut, like, 40-60% of his dialogue, especially since most of it is the same drat thing worded slightly differently.

These were also dark times for gamers as we were shunned by others for being geeky or nerdy and computer games were seen as Childs play things, during these dark ages the whispers began circulating about a 3D space combat game called Elite

I have a feeling that might have been intentional, really. Maybe it's giving the writers too much credit but the whole point of his character seems to be a relentless "gently caress you DAD" type of thing, just dressed up with military hardware and a relatively professional army.

Someone make a mod that puts a silhouette of Joker sitting in a movie theater at the bottom of the screen whenever he starts talking.

Relentless "gently caress YOU DAD" type of thing is basically Jason's entire character so it makes sense.

Well then no wonder he was a stand-offish dick that didn't want to rely on anyone. He just lost someone to the Joker and probably wasn't too keen on losing anyone else so gotta be as aloof and hostile as possible? So he manages to train Dick before Origins?

Seriously. The guy shrieks NO melodramatically whenever you take out a drone, is practically slapping the heads of his minions when they contradict him and throws a big song and a dance whenever he so much as looks at an advantage he might have.

I think there's like a 10+ year gap between Origins and Asylum so he probably adopted Dick in that timeframe

Man, I know it's probably to make the 100% factor a little less irritating, but I do love how the Riddler isn't counted as one of Gotham's Most Wanted and doesn't need to be caught for Knightfall to take effect. :allears:
He definitely is counted in my game. I'm at 13/14 Most Wanted, and the menu is saying I have to do Riddler's poo poo before I can trigger the ending. Someone mentioned there being a bug that allowed you to see the full ending without doing all the Most Wanted stuff, and I guess I've avoided that one.

Ah, i should have realised that seemed a little "post endingy".

Welp, 100% done then, well almost. Just need to get one more challenge to unlock (destroy two drones with sequential perfect strikes) and then try getting all the stars in them. Is there a place i can go to try that unlock (like one of the other challenges) or am i stuck trying to do it in new game+?

You can definitely unlock challenges in other challenges. That specific one was the last one I needed, too, and that's how I got it.

Alright so I'm at the 89% mark of the story mode and am 100% the next thing I do puts the game into climax. How much is it going to hurt me to lose head joker whenever I get done doing the major sidequest stuff, also when Deathstroke show up?

EDIT: Also, gently caress the Arkham Knight tank boss, that poo poo was actually terrible. The sniper fight not so much, but come on why wasn't this just a hand to hand boss.

I am reminded of the ol' "IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL THE JOKER DIES" Kotaku article that accidentally spoiled Arkham City's ending like months before the game's release while talking about a completely different spoiler.

Deathstroke basically replaces the Arkham Knight in the post-game. Joker has some really funny dialogue for certain sidequests but it isn't the end of the world.
