Joker – Batman Arkham Asylum

The Joker is one of the most memorable villains in history. But when Rocksteady pits you against the maniacal clown at the end of Arkham Asylum, they messed up in a spectacular fashion. The battle between the Joker and Batman has always been one of wits, but this particular fight throws all that away. Joker injects himself with some of Bane’s toxin and suddenly bulks up, grows claws, and gains a spikey green Mohawk. He then proceeds to sick hoards of his minions as Batman, occasionally jumping gin to throw his own punches. After the amazing journey that was the first Arkham game, this boss fight was lackluster and went against everything that has been established about the iconic Joker character.
