  This.... is exactly what I&apos;d imagine the mental health expert would look like on a Batman project.

  Wow, the Riddler came up with a whole new identity to consult on this game—but he couldn’t resist leaving the neon green glasses as a clue.<br><br>(Teasing, seems like a cool guy, glad he contributed to the game)

  Shadow finally added depth to the Arkham Two Face who was just a gang boss in City and a robber in Knight. Shadow Dent reminded me of his DCAU version.

  Glad to see a Batman media that touches on the real life psychology of Batman, he’s the most interesting character when it comes to psychology and metal health as all his villains are mostly sick individuals

  Why do I feel like scanning Dr. Bender&apos;s glasses with Detective vision would give you a Riddler trophy?

  I love Dr. Bender&apos;s breakdown of Joker in that Joker is more so evil than mentally ill. He knows what he&apos;s doing and knows that it&apos;s wrong, but simply enjoys it. That&apos;s been implied throughout the series, but I love hearing it directly from an expert. <br><br>And makes sense too: many of Batman&apos;s villains aren&apos;t necessarily evil, but then you have people like Joker and Scarecrow who truly are and manipulate the ones with mental illnesses, and in some ways, mock their illnesses or are even the cause or acceleration of their disorders. Really solidifies in my opinion why they are the true villains of the series.

  The psychology in this game was such a highlight, I’m far from an expert on ‘The Shadow’ or ‘D.I.D’ but I read up on both during uni and this game is the first thing I’ve seen to really nail both concepts; it’s truly beautiful and how their utilised in the story was just great.

  I loved Arkham Shadow. The story was truly wonderful and I felt like Batman. From the beginning to the end, I was mesmerized. Thanks you so much Camouflaj, I want to express my gratitude. <br>I am greedy, but i do hop a sequel to Arkham Shadow with The Phantasm as the main villain😄

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSvRFi0rmIE&amp;t=63">1:03</a> That post-credits scene they&apos;re teasing definitely has me hyped. I&apos;m looking forward more to seeing it dropped here.

  I remember watched this guy&apos;s Wired analysis of the Batman villains and it&apos;s so cool that got him an actual position to affect some of the media. He has a real understanding of the character histories as well, so it&apos;s not only a clinical analysis but from an actual fan.

  I really love &amp; admire the research and dedication to the story of the game, it’s one of the best &amp; emotionally gripping Batman narratives I’ve ever seen in what feels like forever.
