The joker

Am I the only one who was quite disappointed by the joker? I felt he could've had more screen time and importance to the plot and possibly introduced earlier. We don't see much of him in episode 4 and we see brief cameos of him in episode 5. To be fair there was a lot going on already without trying to add the joker.

  • He wasn't a major character for the season. Not sure what you were expecting.

    And I'm actually glad they didn't use him much. He's that kind of a character that tends to steal the spotlight from the others, so I'm really happy it didn't happen here.

  • I'm perfectly happy with his role in this season. Previous games like the Arkham series relied way too much on The Joker, it took away from the other villains and story. Here, we got a really interesting and creative villain, a compelling story, and enough of The Joker that it didn't put the spotlight on him, but also didn't feel shoehorned in. In that little amount of screen time, his character was established, he served his role to the story, and was set up as the next main villain.

  • It would have been nice, but I felt everything made sense. The pacing was good; adding more may not mesh with the plot.

  • I was disappointed, but for a different reason. I was disappointed the used the Joker at all in this season. For what it's worth, I did enjoy his portrayal in this game, but I wish they would've left him out entirely until season 2. The first 3 episodes were so refreshing having nothing to do with the Joker. I had hoped they just wouldn't have mentioned him at all until next season, or at the very least a Batman Begins-esque teaser at the end of the game.

  • You should be happy that his role in season 1 is relatively minor.

  • The Joker is a fine wine you sip just enough and you will have your self a great night and sleep peacefully. But drink way to much and you will make your self sick with a massive headache in the morning.

  • I feel like the scenes he was in were just right and having his character more involved would've seemed like pandering in my eyes.
