The Batman: Arkham Asylum Achievements (a full list of which is available right here) are already pretty pedestrian. (Complete a combo of 5 moves? Snore.) But the problem is compacted by the complete absence of:
1. Do A Really Soulful Batusi
2. Fight Off A Shark with Shark Repellent Bat Spray
3. Reconstitute All World Leaders from Colorful Piles of Dust
4. Spot Three Different Girls Playing Catwoman
Honestly, we're not even sure how the thing is calling itself a Batman game.
[Thanks, TheDarkWayne]

You made me want to paraphrase Arthur from the Tick. "I'm Arthur, and you frighten me terribly."

Holy jumping catfish batman! I love the references to the old school batman with Adam West LOL! I remember that episode I think, the one with the world leaders being turned to dust. They just don't make 'em like they used to

Look at all those secret achievements McElroy, maybe one of them involves those things. Personally, I'd rather not relieve that part of my past

really Batman didnt even die, Darkseid shot him with the Omega Beam and instead of actually dieing he gets sent back and time and the final panel of Final Crisis is him in a cave with a dieing anthro. It's just more of Grant Morrison's high concept low execution bullshit, it would have been better if Batman actually died, and killing someone like the Joker not a Superman villain like Darkseid

To your credit Dark Wayne, you managed to shoot Darkseid before you got hit with the omega beam... impressive.

which was completely retarded, because despite never killing the Joker despite how many people he kills, he makes a once in a lifetime exception and kills darkside. If Bruce comes back, whoever is writing him better have him kill the joker

You got a point Dark Wayne, I mean out of all the Crisis storylines and everything Batman's been through- he picks that arbitrary time to break his code...maybe after the stress on his mind caused by the events of Batman R.I.P., subconsciously he no longer wanted to be batman. I figure the journey Bruce is going to take to resurrect himself will re-invigorate his will to be the dark knight once again...after all no one stays dead in comics.
oh and redson, I never claimed to be commie superman- I'm just a fan. But out of all the avatars you could've chosen you chose the one I've had for quite awhile here...

"Reconstitute All World Leaders from Colorful Piles of Dust"
Should be "INCORRECTLY Reconstitute All World Leaders from Colorful Piles of Dust and claim it's better that way rather than even attempting to fix it"

Man, if all the world leaders got turned in to piles of colorful dust, would we really want to reconstitute them or just grab a dustbuster? By and large, they're doing a shitty job of it.

If the current world "leaders" were turned into piles of dust, I'd get a fan.
