| - Fridge Horror: Joker was trying to drive Batman insane. If he did they would most likely have an Ax Crazy Batman loose on the island. Batman is already a One-Man Army in this game. Driven mad and hopped up on Titan, he would rip the mooks apart and hunt down Joker like nothing you've ever seen.
*
* Joker: Guards! Guards, save me!
* Batman: (Slasher Smile) What guards?
* And he's Batman. No way they're keeping him trapped in a room.
* I was trying to figure out why Maxie Zeus has his cell hidden behind a wall. Then I started to read the Ghost of Arkham's messages and about his treatment of the insane. HE'S LEAVING ZEUS TO STARVE TO DEATH!
* I noticed that. I found it very unsettling, let me tell you.
* Alternatively, consider that Maxie Zeus' cell is conveniently located right next to the electro-shock therapy treatment. Could it be that Warden Sharp or others decided to indulge Zeus' delusions with particularly extreme electro-shock therapy, and have tried to conceal any evidence that he was ever there for some nefarious reason?
* "Even I was shocked when I saw how Maxie Zeus was treated." The Riddler already knows exactly what they're doing to the unfortunate Maxie Zeus. He spells it out for you.
* A mix of horror and brilliance: Poison Ivy said the plants were in pain, only to later realize they were "evolving", actually mutating, due to the Titan. There's no indication Joker caused that plant to grow before using Titan on Ivy, he even says he was expecting a 40 foot killer plant to appear. This means that: Joker knew that plant was there somehow and used Titan on Ivy to activate it, even giving her a second dose to speed things up, and that the plant was already growing from Dr. Young's experiments, suggesting that even if Joker didn't do anything, at some point, the plant would've gone nuts.
* How, you might ask, did Joker take over the Asylum if Frank Boles was the only free man he had inside? Note: The following is all in spoiler tags, because it deals with the Bonus Content you get from www.arkhamcare.com and thus might not be known to people who've played the game. The Riddler helped him, that's how. By duping a person with arkhamcare login information (namely you), Riddler managed to take control of Arkham's entire computer network, thereby enabling Joker to turn the electronic security against the Asylum staff. Joker goes on with his mad scheme, Riddler walks out free and taunts Batman from an apartment back in Gotham proper, and Batman gets to suffer for your stupidity.
* Going through some of the ducts in the asylum, you'll sometimes come across human skulls and filthy bones. They're clearly too old and decomposed to have been done by Joker's men, so how did they get there? Then you remember what Amadeus Arkham did to inmates.
* When I realized this bit of Fridge Brilliance, I immediately thought, that someone had already covered it. But I haven't seen it mentioned in this section, maybe because it's too obvious. Anyway, lets break things down: 1.
* Arkham Asylum takes place in the titular location, where Joker and all the other occupants have overcome the guards and made it their new base of operations, forcing Batman to take back control. 2.
* Arkham Asylum takes aspects of the Comics, Different Animated series, and Movies in one big Adaptation Distillation. 3.
* The people who made Arkham Asylum have probably been fans for years, since they were kids even, and now get the chance to put their own spin on the characters, write said characters themselves. Now here comes The Stinger, and you'll all be headesking for not realizing this sooner: Both in-story and from an out of story perspective.........THE INMATES ARE RUNNING THE GODDAMN ASYLUM!!!
