Arkham City is fun, though. You know you'll lose a lot of time to it, time you shouldn't, by any rights, have.

Some brilliant person in Gotham got the idea to wall of a section of the city, stick all of their criminals in it (in a universe with over a dozen supervillains as well!), wall it off with hundred foot high steel walls and military helicopters patrolling the border, put Dr. Strange in charge of security, and othwise let the criminal run wild inside of it. This walled off prison section of town is "Arkham City." That enough Gothamites supported this plan to make it happen proves that Gotham has the stupidest citizenry of any nation in any place, fictional or historical, and I'm shocked they haven't just sold the entire city to Nigerian spammers at this point.

All the snark aside, the game delivers this news extremely disjointedly by showing Bruce Wayne being dragged off. First of all, stupid citizens or no, you cannot kidnap a billionaire and declare him insane for participating in politics. (Would that you could with some people...) There is no way in hell this Strange person wouldn't have, like, the federal government shut down his experiment in the first place, but kidnapping prominent citizens and journalists and locking them up in a place that makes Gitmo look like sunny Florida? Nuh-uh. Never happen. It might if it were just the journalists, but not Bruce Wayne. Would NEVER happen. But it does happen and I'm sitting ( ... )

In all seriousness, it's a complete failure of the game designers to know how women tend to walk, sexy or otherwise. I really do have to wonder if that's what the mostly male game designer demographic of the population think women walk like normally or if they don't give a flying fuck and are writing code to get their jollies. Either way, ick.
