The "thugs" from the other games kinda sounded like poor guys from Gotham trying to get by and getting into the wrong line of work to do it. The thugs in Arkham Asylum sounded like genuinely messed up people.
@@tadeocaputo2036 it was the only convenient place they could go since blackgate got burned down, but this group of goons definitely belong in an asylum.
Joker's thugs always had the most disturbing dialogue for any the gangs you fought in the Arkham series. You know for a fact that Joker, being Joker, purposefully looked for the most depraved, sociopathic lowlives he could find to hire them.
I still remember that conversation. Where that college kid, highly educated goes to Arkham City to try and help the gangs and just anyone in need - but Joker’s crew break his legs and throw him in a smelting chamber.
I like to think Joker has the most disturbed mooks because they're the only people that are willing to put up with his depravity (or enjoy it). Penguin or Two-Face's goons, I could at least picture them being down-on-their-luck crooks trying to make a buck. But Joker's crew? You HAVE to be really screwed up if you're on his team.
The lack of reaction from the one guy when it was revealed Joker told another person the same thing even though he didn’t have a sister really gets me. He wasn’t lying or pretending to be hard when he said he killed her and didn’t like her anyway, he meant that shit. That’s some scary loyalty right there.
I love the duality of Joker from the perception of this inmate, he says, One minute he’s all random and crazy, and the next he’s all serious and plans” .. something along those lines.. ANYWAY, the point is, the Joker is literally unpredictable to everyone except for Batman, & even then, Batman can’t always figure out what Jokers doing, but he’s the only one that can usually figure most of it out. And it’s scary to think about, imagine a creepy guy in clown make up that’s super goofy and jokey one moment, and then the next, he’s breaking someone’s neck with his bare hands. Like, could you ever really feel comfortable or safe with someone like that around you? I wish they delved deeper into it, but Joker could definitely be a horror character
ye i feel like the arkham games don't show enough of the deprived and irredeemable evil that he inflicts in the games (although there are exceptions like jokers display of his killings in the arkham games which look like torture corn and i especially feel like the arkham games wouldve benefited from lots of blood in gameplay and even gore like the 'Assault on Arkham' movie) since many ppl love the joker and laugh when he even speaks but in the arkham comics, you'd see how fucked arkham joker is
Man, I wonder who is crazier. The Joker for telling that guy to kill his sister, even though he said he didn't have one, or them, that keep working for him in the first place!
They are all crazy, but joker will always be the crazier one. I know that people say that the goons don’t have any other options, but here’s a good option: don’t join the damn joker, and you’ll live longer probably.
Arkham Asylum seemed to feel like a place where madness comes to fester and grow rather than a place to get rid of it. On my first time viewing the full asylum (after getting out of the place we started out in) between the view and the music I felt as if I could smell the madness, as if it was trying to burrow its way into my skin. I have heard that Arkham Asylum is based off of world from H.P. Lovecraft. From what I have seen here and what I have heard of Lovecraft's works, I can see that.
They're all actually really dark. Especially when you get into the realm of implication. I think that Arkham Asylum mainly feels darker because it has the least subtle writing of the series and not because it's actually darker than City or Knight. But in City and Knight there are a lot of moments where they just stop short of stating something in simple terms, and what's implied is often just as dark as anything in Asylum. Personally, I think that Knight goes the furthest in terms of the kinds of things that are suggested. But Arkham Asylum can definitely be shocking from how bluntly it states things.
@@rakkasaniron1696 Arkham Asylum probably has the most grounded of all the games. Sure the villains have their comic book quirks, but the Atmospher, the “patient interviews”, and the thugs banter are a stark reminder that there are screwed up who are really capable of doing shit like this in real life.
@@griz312 na the same thing goes to all the other arkham games... Arkham Origins feels the most grounded since the Jokers thugs that joker himself kills were Black Masks former henchmen but joker mentions that they're very VERY bad men and the things they've done, you really don't want to know
There's also an incredibly disturbing tape found near the beginning of the game in which a doctor interviews the Riddler and he makes a particularly unsettling "joke" about a baby.
This is what made Arkham Asylum so unique, On an isolated Island and mental Asylum as BATMAN and hearing shit like this made me have more nightmare's than RDR Undead Nightmare did.
Just started playing Arkham City, and I like the uniqueness of all the different gangs in dialogue, despite being functionally the same Both Two face and Penguin Thugs are brutal and violent, and they are intensely loyal to their bosses, but Joker's crew is unhinged, with these types of conversations and all sorts of other messed up stuff they said they did, like killing their own mother by choking on a poisoned cake, which is generally a pretty bad crime even amongst criminals, butamong the jokesters is basically tuesday Goes to show how Joker isn't the only crazy one in Gotham, but he deliberately chooses the sickest individuals for his crew
Can't be the most questionable dialogue in history. They only talked about killing their sisters, not doing stuff with 'em, possibly after, which would be way more questionable.
I think the story of the joker and kindergarten kids was worse. I also like how much this highlights the absurd mentality of "it's just my job", "i had to do it", etc. You never really have to do anything. The only thing that's understandable is if you are protecting family from death.
@@LilMxShivanibit of a late reply but the story their referring to comes from knight. Basically the joker goes into a kindergarten and mutilates all the kids then stitches their body parts to other kids body’s. Pretty messed up shit, idk know how the writers even came up with that one.
The big reason Joker probably keeps attracting any goons to his cause is when he isn't crazy he is VERY good at plotting and planning...you just have to gamble that working for him will pay out, or if he'll shot you for a laugh.
I like the detail that when the thug is talking about running a woman over, there’s a violin strum that continuously builds up as though it’s a horror movie.
The way the music swells tho tells u how fucked it is, showing batmans anger, and if u glide kick just at the music finished swelling u will get a cinematic glide kick
And all fairness killing your sister with the joker tells you to might be a smart move he might end up killing your entire bloodline just for the kicks
of all the Batman games, City, Origins, Arkham Knight, Arkham Asylum stands out the most for me it's a special feeling playing that game man the atmosphere and everything is just great
my god what is wrong with these people this game is just messed up wow.. that's how it really is in gotham most likely these guys that work for joker are crazy lunatics just like him how could you do that to your sister oh my god.. and he just killed a random person just because joker said so that's insane.. i wanted to see bruce jump those guys after that dialogue ew.. these thugs deserve batmans justice
Try listening in on one of the guys who talked about killing his mother in an elevator from Batman: Arkham Origins. That dialogue was the most disturbing to me.
@@thatboifreedom well we are talking about something that is a characteristic to a person, like it's normal for Mary to eat strawberries, now while it isn't normal to kill , for joker is like a daily basis, it's normal FOR Joker to kill,also I meant to joke with the commentor
Even the setting eise but also make sense since they're prisoners in arkham asylum so you suspect them to be screw up then the things outside in the other games.
@@iancruz6617 I mean, so is City no? City fs has an unsettling atmosphere, but for whatever reason, even though there are higher stakes, something feels slightly lighter than in Asylum
@@squishyty918 Not much, yes, but the story features the best version of Batman: The Batman who understands that he got 2 kinds of enemies: Sane and insane people. The Batman who actively tries to help to rehabilitate his insane adversaries by himself and not just rely on the staff of the Arkham Asylum. The Batman who understands that he is the only person ever to succeed in rehabilitating criminals like the Joker, because Batman knows that he is insane himself.
@@dermilchmann3655 Yeah that’s a good point. I just meant that the story focuses more on Joker than Batman, and I think the best Batman novel should have him focused on the most
I remember hearing this as a kid and being really disturbed lol. Made me feel like Joker and his goons were some seriously messed up dudes and not just goofy villains. This game had such a great tense atmosphere overall.
0:15 Joker literally said "Well Kill her anyway" eventhough the henchman said that he didn't even have a sister. Funny in a very screwed up kind of way.
Yeah, one of the guards in the sewers couldn’t find Batman so Joker threatened to kill the dude’s wife. Joker made the guy start begging and pleading, so he only settled with breaking both her legs. Aside from the grim circumstances, a bit wholesome to see a thug being considerate towards family
I'm honestly surprised some of these guys even have wives... One minute they brag about how they kill innocents and sell their organs (it's an actual dialogue) and the other they beg Joker to not kill their loved ones
I wish they spoke like this more often. Most of the time they sound cartoonishly like your stereotypical east coast goon straight out of a 30s mobster flick. This type of dialogue makes you want to glide down and cave his head in.
Ahh you would be rather fond of Jason Todd though I ain’t exactly like you mate for I don’t exactly want to kill or badly injure someone when I hear them say this
@@imeanslaverywasveryprofita4626 well, you're not suppose to be you. You're suppose to be Batman, a guy who witnessed his parents blown apart for a pearl necklace who may also get a little triggered when overhearing the confession of a murder. You maybe unhinged but you're also a guy who unreasonably, almost like a child, maims and subdues his enemies instead of killing them. Gotta kayfabe it to get in that headspace, brotha! I am far from Batman so I need to become Batman to finish the game. I need to be triggered by lowlife scum so I can lay a cape parry beatdown on each and every one of them.
I like how an anime character like Goku that has taken on and beaten galactic emperors and extremely powerful beings that can turn beings into chocolate knows about stuff like Batman and The Joker alone.
Me too man. I thought Batman was cool but I never got much into him before I played these games now I'm such a big fan of him. He's my favourite superhero. These games are the only ones where I have 100% in all of them. They're amazing.
There was also disturbing lines of dialogue from Joker’s goons in “Arkham City” as it showcased the thugs discussing about possibly raping Harley Quinn if Joker died. This of course led to Harley killing them and referencing them in the DLC “Harley Quinn’s Revenge”. She literally uses their fate as threat while communicating with the rest of the thugs and reminds them all that she’s “not easy”.
This is up there with the “Man, you must have really hated your mother.” dialogue from the Steel Mill in Arkham City, when you’re going down the elevator shaft.
I remember hearing this as a kid and it took the persona off of the edgy cartoon thugs we knew from most batman related things and it made the thugs seem so much more gruesome and evil. Mentally unstable people who really belonged in that asylum. The kinds of people you'd wanna separate from basic society because they are dangerous. And I remember these lines making those thugs seem so real it didn't feel corny.
ok maybe i was wrong about the arkham games having them to go deeper in the dark and evil shit that the thugs say because majority of the time, the thug's dialogue are funny and kinda lighthearted with the situation that they're in but at the same time not every thug is going to be an irredeemable scumbag like the these ones or the even the Arkham Origins ones where joker kills both of his henchmen in front of batman and where jokers says that 'those TWO were very VERY bad men, the things they've done, you really don't want to know' - which what joker refers to their what they did is up for your interpretation but someone like the thug who was concerned for his wife when joker said that he was going to kill her until he begged in which joker said that he'll only break both of her legs is someone who isn't irredeemably evil and just someone who lived a bad life but are not evil because of it
@@godzillazfrictionBtw in Arkham City there were a lot of thugs that were expressing to want to rape Harley if Joker died due to his illness, they were saying the same thing about doing it to Stacy Baker (the doctor that was sent to cure Joker in the stell mill) and Catwoman aswell.
One time I heard this conversation for the first time ever and my sister was sitting next to me when it happened and she was like “ oh my gosh who would ever do that?! “ This game can be so dark sometimes
In the witcher 3 a group of guys were talking about how they ransacked a town. One of the guys said he saw a child who he had beaten then proceded to rape. Said the child was a crying, bloody mess after he was done. But also noted that the child was so flat chested, he couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl but stated that he really didnt care either way. That was the most messed up gaming dialogue Ive ever heard....
@@gelothegogang pretty sure it's the group of guys in the white orchard village tavern.... witcher is very fucked as a whole which is why so many ppl love it and is why many love berserk since both don't shy away from the things that happen in real life
@@godzillazfrictionMy thoughts exactly, lately i've come to move on from "family friendly" stuff and start to become a fan of stories like Berserk, The Witcher, Batman or Spawn; as an adult I feel more invested in the story when it feels more grounded and serious in how it portrays evil as a whole and doesn't sugarcoat it, not for the sake of being edgy and bleak, but for the sake of a story with more emotional weight, higher stakes and that feels relatable to real life.
@@godzillazfriction I was going to agree with this until you mentioned Berserk. Yeah I get it it's an uplifting story of Guts who goes from a childhood of torture and brutal living, to an adult with consuming rage and a want for Griffiths head for what he did to Casca and betraying him. Granted, some I've seen, have stupidly tried to argue that Femto was controlling Griffith and that is what lead him to doing what he did to them, but no, Griffith knew what he was doing when he r*ped her. He wasn't even doing it because of wanting her, she was just another way to hurt Guts and to control him, but what Griffith didn't know was that that would lead him to fight for his life with a vengeful Guts on his tail. He wanted to punish Guts for what he didn't accept, but he didn't account for the fact that Guts wouldn't stop until Griffith/Femto was dead. It's never going to get better now that the creator is dead and no longer the primary heart of the story. I imagine it how he was thinking about it ending, with where he were still around now, he'd have finished it and started working on the sequel which is actually Guts and his corrupted son working together and eventually coming out on top, against all odds, and defeating Griffith and his followers. Including killing Casca if it meant for her to be at peace. But I don't read or watch anything, fiction or real, with any kinds of r*pe or even attempted r*pe. Especially if they're underage . I've been into a few different Shouji Ai manga at the moment, so I completely have dropped Berserk and even Goblin Slayer. I just don't like those stories that glorify r*pe in those ways.
"Joker told me to kill my sister." "Did ya do it?" "Hell yeah, never liked her anyway." Wow, the things people do for the Joker order them to do. Damn! My older brother and I don't get along but even that I would be so against.
I played the first game so many times that once actually two rooks attacked me... i was in panic mod and got hit... When i played arkham city and found out that, now, they actually do that and that you can actually counter attack them... it just blew my mind
I love how when you listen to Joker's session tapes, he gets a different diagnosis from each psychiatrist. He's not crazy, he's a calculated genius who can fake different conditions. Amazing.
@@eren34558 Well, they did and it was on Arkham City where he’s like “this place is tighter than my mother on Prom Night” and the other two thugs are like “the hell is that supposed to mean?” And the other thug “Yeah” and then he goes and says “You don’t want to know” then second thug goes and says “Yeah, I think I do” and then the third thug says “Awwww, was your mommy the town bike?” And then the first thug says “no” and then the second thug is like: “I think she was” then the first thug says “Ah, you know what just forget I said anything” then they keep teasing him “No, now you have to tell us” then the first thug says: “If you must know, she killed her date on Prom Night” then the 2nd or 3rd thug (surprised/not expecting that) is like “What?” Then the First Thug goes and says: “So, on Prom Night, she gets out of control, so we tie her up to make sure she doesn’t, happy?” The second thug: “I guess”
Even the TAS Joker is a serial killer. We don’t see or hear too much about it on screen because they needed it to be kid-friendly (mostly), but there was a reason people were so scared of him. And we did see it in Mask of the Phantasm.
@@godzillazfriction I find the later games a little tamer than the first. The atmosphere of certain places in the asylum like the morgue and the sewers, Titan Joker's exposed flesh and ribs, even the sounds of the guns in Asylum sounds more extreme than in later games. The only thing that comes close in the Jason Todd torture scenes in Knight.
@@godzillazfriction I’d argue that while these games have always had something pretty dark about them, such as Hugo Strange commiting genocide on the criminals in arkham city, or Scarecrow’s fear gas and Jason’s torture scenes, the other Arkham games were a lot more lighthearted than Asylum. Unlike the other Arkham games, Arkham Asylum is almost a horror game because at all points in the game the mood is very dark and creepy due to the Asylum setting and pretty much all the non villanous characters other than batman being terrified the whole game.
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
There was a conversation with the thugs in Arkham City where they talk about Harley and the fact that she used to be a guy. This is actually a reference to one of the motion capture people who played the Harley character, and it was a guy
It's not a "fact" that Harely used to be a guy, the henchmen literally says in the game that it's just a rumour he heard. Considering that Harley was expecting a baby in Arkham City, we can assume she was never a man.
Arkham Asylum is a masterpiece. Great dialogue, great animations, cool setting, good characters, amazing voice acting, iconic music… not exactly the most complex or innovative game ever made but it comes together greater than the sum of its parts. I don’t have anything against the later games, but the first one really takes the cake for me. What a classic
@@jacopom.7477 “not exactly the most complex or innovative game ever made but it comes together greater than the sum of its parts” kinda different yknow
Jesus, this makes me pore over the golden age of Rocksteady. Truth be told, Insomniac Spiderman's dialogue makes me grate my teeth with how fucking corny and unnatural it is. People like to compare the two series, but I think we all really know that insomniac isnt brazen enough to include shit like this.
This is part of what made Arkham Asylum so unique. Unlike the other games, these guys weren't just some poor bastards who were trying to get by in the worst way possible. They were mentally ill people who were locked in an asylum and worked for the most deranged dude alive.

Satisfying when in Arkham Knight some of the goons complain about how Batman broke their limbs in the previous games
There's also an incredibly disturbing tape found near the beginning of the game in which a doctor interviews the Riddler and he makes a particularly unsettling "joke" about a baby.
0:41 gotta be Justin Roiland
How psychopaths talk to each other, what a discussion.

To be honest this answers the question of who would even work for The Joker if he’s so crazy.
I heard a conversation like this in Arkham City, a goon detailed how his mom got a ‘little’ drunk and killed her classmates on prom night.
I like the detail that when the thug is talking about running a woman over, there’s a violin strum that continuously builds up as though it’s a horror movie.
then they topped it with Harley talking about her and Ivy's romantic history to her sprout, i.e. a child, while calling her fun-sized

The henchmen dialogue in these games is hilarious and top notch
especially when you play as catwoman in arkham city's challanges
Is this batman arkham: city? But it seem different, like batman arkham: origins
Those are pale in comparison to what the israeli said in daily basis
Try listening in on one of the guys who talked about killing his mother in an elevator from Batman: Arkham Origins. That dialogue was the most disturbing to me.
I actually remember this one. Arkham just had the worst people in it.
This is Joker Goons “trying to take the edge of”!
Sounds accurate
0:47 I fee very tempted, as Batman, to come in and yell “DRINK VENGEANCE”
0:27 It sounded like Franklin or CJ almost from GTA
@quietplace4303 I need to edit that over Franklin or CJ then lmao
Joker doesn't just pick any random thugs, they all have a few screws loose in some way.
Insane people attract other insane people.
A lot of his thugs are coerced into joining him
Reminds me of that scene in The Vat of Acid episode in Rick and Morty.
No interaction with the Joker can be considered normal.
The words “Joker” and “Normal” don’t go together anyways. It doesn’t even go together with Batman.

The Batman who understands that he is the only person ever to succeed in rehabilitating criminals like the Joker, because Batman knows that he is insane himself.

Dark humor.
@@crystalwater505 Yeah, but the darker side of that since there's different levels.
?
There’s also a line where Joker says he’ll break their wife’s leg for complaining.
Yeah, one of the guards in the sewers couldn’t find Batman so Joker threatened to kill the dude’s wife. Joker made the guy start begging and pleading, so he only settled with breaking both her legs. Aside from the grim circumstances, a bit wholesome to see a thug being considerate towards family
worst part is that he makes the thug thank him for it
"Did I ever tell you the one about the guy who came home and found his wife a paraplegic?"
When you wait and take the Thug out after Joker is done, he is happy af because he thinks Croc ate him
I'm honestly surprised some of these guys even have wives... One minute they brag about how they kill innocents and sell their organs (it's an actual dialogue) and the other they beg Joker to not kill their loved ones
I wish they spoke like this more often. Most of the time they sound cartoonishly like your stereotypical east coast goon straight out of a 30s mobster flick. This type of dialogue makes you want to glide down and cave his head in.
Yeah, mostly these dudes be mad goofy, then once in a while mfs say shit like this and you remember they're human filth.

There was also disturbing lines of dialogue from Joker’s goons in “Arkham City” as it showcased the thugs discussing about possibly raping Harley Quinn if Joker died.
This of course led to Harley killing them and referencing them in the DLC “Harley Quinn’s Revenge”.
She literally uses their fate as threat while communicating with the rest of the thugs and reminds them all that she’s “not easy”.

This is up there with the “Man, you must have really hated your mother.” dialogue from the Steel Mill in Arkham City, when you’re going down the elevator shaft.
Paul Dini wrote both right
Yup, was about to mention it
I remember hearing this as a kid and it took the persona off of the edgy cartoon thugs we knew from most batman related things and it made the thugs seem so much more gruesome and evil. Mentally unstable people who really belonged in that asylum. The kinds of people you'd wanna separate from basic society because they are dangerous. And I remember these lines making those thugs seem so real it didn't feel corny.
well most are corny in a funny way but i feel like they shouldve delved deeper with the evil and dark shit that the thugs would say and do
In Arkham City there are some thugs that talk about cannibalism and even directly state that some of them have engaged in cannabalism.
ok maybe i was wrong about the arkham games having them to go deeper in the dark and evil shit that the thugs say because majority of the time, the thug's dialogue are funny and kinda lighthearted with the situation that they're in but at the same time not every thug is going to be an irredeemable scumbag like the these ones or the even the Arkham Origins ones where joker kills both of his henchmen in front of batman and where jokers says that 'those TWO were very VERY bad men, the things they've done, you really don't want to know' - which what joker refers to their what they did is up for your interpretation but someone like the thug who was concerned for his wife when joker said that he was going to kill her until he begged in which joker said that he'll only break both of her legs is someone who isn't irredeemably evil and just someone who lived a bad life but are not evil because of it
@@godzillazfrictionBtw in Arkham City there were a lot of thugs that were expressing to want to rape Harley if Joker died due to his illness, they were saying the same thing about doing it to Stacy Baker (the doctor that was sent to cure Joker in the stell mill) and Catwoman aswell.

@@godzillazfrictionMy thoughts exactly, lately i've come to move on from "family friendly" stuff and start to become a fan of stories like Berserk, The Witcher, Batman or Spawn; as an adult I feel more invested in the story when it feels more grounded and serious in how it portrays evil as a whole and doesn't sugarcoat it, not for the sake of being edgy and bleak, but for the sake of a story with more emotional weight, higher stakes and that feels relatable to real life.
Use the silver sword on them Bc that’s enough to classify them as a monster
@@godzillazfriction I was going to agree with this until you mentioned Berserk. Yeah I get it it's an uplifting story of Guts who goes from a childhood of torture and brutal living, to an adult with consuming rage and a want for Griffiths head for what he did to Casca and betraying him. Granted, some I've seen, have stupidly tried to argue that Femto was controlling Griffith and that is what lead him to doing what he did to them, but no, Griffith knew what he was doing when he r*ped her. He wasn't even doing it because of wanting her, she was just another way to hurt Guts and to control him, but what Griffith didn't know was that that would lead him to fight for his life with a vengeful Guts on his tail.
He wanted to punish Guts for what he didn't accept, but he didn't account for the fact that Guts wouldn't stop until Griffith/Femto was dead.
It's never going to get better now that the creator is dead and no longer the primary heart of the story.
I imagine it how he was thinking about it ending, with where he were still around now, he'd have finished it and started working on the sequel which is actually Guts and his corrupted son working together and eventually coming out on top, against all odds, and defeating Griffith and his followers. Including killing Casca if it meant for her to be at peace.
But I don't read or watch anything, fiction or real, with any kinds of r*pe or even attempted r*pe. Especially if they're underage
.
I've been into a few different Shouji Ai manga at the moment, so I completely have dropped Berserk and even Goblin Slayer. I just don't like those stories that glorify r*pe in those ways.

@@godzillazfriction I’d argue that while these games have always had something pretty dark about them, such as Hugo Strange commiting genocide on the criminals in arkham city, or Scarecrow’s fear gas and Jason’s torture scenes, the other Arkham games were a lot more lighthearted than Asylum. Unlike the other Arkham games, Arkham Asylum is almost a horror game because at all points in the game the mood is very dark and creepy due to the Asylum setting and pretty much all the non villanous characters other than batman being terrified the whole game.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
