Batman: Arkham Asylum dev diary has English sensibilities

Well, she's in an asylum. Has to look the part, right?

Also, why call yourself by your name, DW? Aren't you trying to *hide* your identity? :o

Imagine if Robin was in the game... (shivers)

nitpicking would be if i complained that the color pattern was reversed if she was wearing her harlequinn uniform. This is a lot bigger than that, it wouldnt be nitpicking if they made Captain America wear a british flag or Spider-Man dress up like a gym coach. And actually yeah Joker does pretty much wear the same thing, maybe the color pattern or tailoring is different but it's almost always a purple/green suit with a black one once in a while. I dont see what "the plan" has to do with it, the person i replied to was saying that she wears the nurses uniform because there a lots of nurses in the asylum not because it was the jokers plan.

Stuff like The Batman, or Brave and the Bold or animated dvds are their own universes. However Paul Dini liked her so much he made her a character in the comic, the same for Renee Montoya, who is now The Question

DarkWayne, I upvoted you sheerly for the reason I'm impressed at your knowledge. Sheesh!

Dude... it's Joystiq. 'Nuff said.

It's gotta be a perk or add-on later in the game that you need to progress. Metroid style. Like the explodable walls in the demo. I'm sure once you get the explosive gel, you can backtrack to those areas for secrets/collectables.
