Wasn't his whole plan very in character? He trapped Batman in Arkham and drove him to his limits and then wanted to beat defeat him with all of Gotham watching their hero die.Pretty sure Joker would want Batman dead.
a while ago there was bitching about bosses spawning goons instead of you having to fight them (the bosses), and now there's bitching about Joker becoming

yes, yes, it looks out of character, but you don't even fight the guy, just a bunch of goons... again, pretty much like the rest of the game, the entire game.

batman not hulking out after being shot with Titan to be a bit of a stretch.Joker injected himself with it after he shot Batman, so I'm a way they were supposed to brawl it out Titan style

Hey guys, how do you do thee advanced predator challenge rooms? I'm having a hard time with the gargoyles because they have explosives on them that go off when you're on them for too long? Is there a way to disarm them, or do you have to do the entire challenge room like that?
pretty much
though you can use the air vents to lay low, and wait for the attack.
It's all about adapting 😄
the library/mansion level doesn't have that many air ducts, though you can climb on top of the cabinet/lockers in the middle of the room and use it as gargoyles to attack from above. They usually won't see you

Ah, I see. It's pretty damn challenging, at least for me. Haha. I will try this though, thanks.
The game is remarkably similar to Bioshock in so many aspects.
Of course, this takes nothing away from it, really. I've never been so happy to be completely wrong on my assessment of a game.
The only really challenging part about the challenges is when you get down to two men or so. Usually, if you haven't done the tasks, it can be hard getting them to break pattern, so you have to really think about what to use and when.
For example, I was having trouble figuring out how to do the tasks in the Record Breaker (Extreme) challenge. It's hard because you have to hit three with the same remote batarang, which isn't easy given the environment. Then you have to hit two while sliding on the line launcher. Stunning someone with a sonic batarang is easy, so I did that first, in the long corridor where the vents are. Then used the remote batarang on the group. Then line launched as they got up.
If that helps anyone, great.
Regarding the final boss talk; that's the problem with Batman, and why I've never liked DC much. You look at all the little enemy files you get and tell me what the common thread is. They're all people Batman is way better than. There's no threat, besides Joker, and that's not in a combat sense.
When you are Batman, who can you have as a final boss that is a credible fight? Killer Croc was the way he was because, as someone pointed out to me, you probably couldn't fight him or you'd get destroyed. Joker is the exact opposite.
I think Scarecrow would have made a better boss due to his ability to warp the room after injecting Batman. A last boss level like the nightmare ones, that would have been awesome.
The only thing I'd say was useless would be pressing A to run. You hardly ever use walk, so there's no point having it. If you wanna walk slowly, might as well crouch. That's not a mark against the game, though, since I got used to it. Just seems like a waste of a button, as Yahtzee said.
I just wish they'd have combined the best things about this game, with the best things about the Spider-Man 2 game. Thus creating the best possible superhero game ever, with Daredevil. Oh well.

Yes I agree that having a button to run is redundant now that we have perfected analog sensitive movement, but hopefully they'll rectify that for the sequel (assuming there will be a sequel.)
Again hopefully they'll work on all the little snags for any sequel that they decide to produce.

I agree with your statement, but why have a backstory of the Titan experiment that we all knew would mix in with the final Joker fight, only to have Joker stand up on a platform and guffaw at the news choppers while you fight another onslaught of thugs?

I think for the same reason you can't fight Croc.
Batman was no match for Titan Joker, you can't hit him, you don't have weapons to fight him. you can't touch him, all you can do when he's trying to hit you is run away.
while fighting Bane, Batman can unplug his poison/toxin supply to get him down. not with Joker.
It was either that (how the fight actually plays out), or have him be a typical Titan Henchmen fight (hit it with batarang while it's running, then hit him when it hits the wall)...and you just fight two of those before Joker.
yep, and ultimate challenge room to get to Joker (and then punch him like Harley) would have been nice, but that pretty much leaves by the wayside the whole plot about Titan.
...or Batman could have not use the antidote and fight Joker one-on-one 😬
