  • I get the black screen of death and the effing retry does not show up so that I can play the final chase with Scarecrow and beat his ass D:

  • when this happened i was like OH SHIT NOT THIS AGAIN because my PS3 got crashed before

  • I literally screamed NOOOOOO!  because I was playing on the xbox 360. Everyone knows how shitty the original ones were built

  • due to fear of the game freezing (i was afraid i would have to start all over on the gargoyle bomb part) or my graphics card overheating i ctrl alt delete and killed it

  • you cant dodge the bullet it says for xbox and ps3 "use middle stick to dodge jokers bullet" and xbox and ps3 both only have 2 sticks one on the left, and one on the right.

  • Is this a bug in the game? Cause it has happened with me as well with the original and the goty edition as well.

  • @PhantomJedix2000 r u reterded?

  • @handyguy007 fuck... typo... *retarded

    fuck... that didn't look too good

  • @handyguy007 For someone who didn't know about it and was asking an honest question, and a misspelling of retard, might want to rethink your question. There was no reason for it. I didn't know and you had to go off on the deep end and call me a retard for asking a simple question because I didn't know. But now that I do know the answer to my own question, no I am not a retard.

  • @PhantomJedix2000 ok, sorry... It just seems a bit obvious to me

  • BTW Does anyone know what happens if you dodge the gunshot?

  • Also note that Scarecrow's gas "induces the victims worst fears," which means that your worst fear is your game crashing :D

  • The effect is much more realistic on a TV than on PC: what kind of computer has that kind of effect

  • Same Thing Same Spot

  • that is scarecrow !

  • Fuck me, I played this game now for a third time after but long after the first two (AC made me wanna), and I totally forgot about that.

    I thought it's cos I moved to ATI from Nvidia and PhysX was messed up... I tinkered with settings, drivers and patch... I even tried a pirated copy of the GOTY edition. God, I'm an idiot.

  • This game trolled me. Well played game, well played.

  • I almost started to cry when I saw it. I thought my new PC was going to die. BLUESCREEN

  • scarecrows gas went came out off the tv

  • When i played this i broke my other ps3 cause i got pissed i was like FUCK

  • i was like, WTF IS HAPPENING TO MY PC :(

  • lol i remember the first time i passed the game and when i got to this part i was like FUCKING AAAAAAAAA and i got hurt cuz i thought the game was screwed but then i kept watching it then i was like :D

  • WoW what a thrilling turn in the game story no one could expect that while playing.

    i just thought while playing that the game restarted due to any glitch or something else...

  • SCARECROW YOU B@STARD

  • God dammit I just restarted the game 4 times getting this "freeze" thing each time and just gave up. I guess i can start playing again.

  • I got so fucking acared when this happend.

    Like OHHH FUCK, MY PC JUST FUCKING DIED!!!!

  • *looks down at controller*

    WHAT MIDDLE STICK!?!? D:

  • Quick question, after I click retry the game crashes on me, can anybody help out with that?

  • that's scary! reminds me of when you slightly jiggle an n64 game while playing it

  • i get crashing. on my ps3 too go bank to x box

  • i got so worried when this happend cause i just spent £30 on this!!

    after i just lolled

  • I nearly had a heart attack lol scarecrow is so good he get both batman and the players XD

  • i spent the whole walk scene looking up harleys skirt

  • scarecrwo gave me feair alrigt , fear that i tought my lovely ps3 got ylod

  • Oh god... I remember this... scared the shit out of me thinking my graphics card melted..

  • My PS3 GOTY doesn't crash like that. But it locks up completely every couple of minutes. I have to manually take the disc out and reset the PS3.

    I got another copy and it does the same

  • @Fiddlemaster56 this is actually supposed to happen

  • @Fiddlemaster56 haha xD So they leaved out this great mindfuck scene on the GOTY version? Or haven't you gotten this far yet? xD

  • @rajlle I can't get to this point because, I said, my game locks up every 2 minutes.

  • i got pc version btw

  • ok maybe this isn't a helptdesk then but... riddle me this: when i die in the game ... it crashes, how come?

  • this fucked me up so much, as soon as i saw the intro i though "OH SHIT its frozen and deleted my saved game" XD and use middle stick to dodge, WTF so confusing lol

  • every time batman coughes get ready for giant scarecrow chasing you around thumbs up if you agree

  • these are the moments that made this game a masterpiece in my opinion. gameplay is amazing, and all that, but this atmosphere, especially during the scarecrow sequences, that makes it truly special.

  • wtfck dew yew know how many times i gotta refund on this shit

    I feel real dumb lol

  • shit only been for like 8 seconds... you gotta be a complete moron to just turn off your computer/video game console before 8 seconds.....and sent it back to gamespot or whatever.. without even looking up the problem on the internet... not even looking up a patch...

  • Erm... Middle stick?

  • I was like "WTF middle stick?" Then I realized it was supposed to happen

  • when this happened i fraked the FUCK OUT because i thought my pc died.

  • @Camdude90 exactly the same reaction or worse

  • Comment removed

  • I was borrowing this game from my cousin when that happend and I was like oh crap I broke his game lol :)

  • i overclocked my video card one day before this part xD....

    i was like "Oh Shit i broke my $400 video card"

  • I am soo stupid. i though the game was broken and returned it to gamestop. Turned out to be better though cuz i got a new version cheaper

  • First time i got this i was like ''WTF'' and cutscene ''wtf joker?'' and then oh shit i got killed

  • wtf! i instantly hit reset on Pc when the "failure" occured and thought my grafikcard was gone. it took me 3 times, before i figured out this is part of the game. :) awesome game tho... 

  • This scared the shit outa me.I thought my PC is gone :(

  • They really ought to inform people if they do things like that as 'Creative' devices, or at least make it look more like a blurry body shutdown rather than a crash. Love the game, no complaints there, but that really should have been mentioned so people didn't panic.

  • Fucking Middle Stick, how dare you evade me.

    Rocksteady better make a controller with a middle-stick just for Arkham City :)

  • i enden returning the disk for a chep game

    then 2 years later i got it again and i reilzied iw wasnt a crach

    FUCK the develerpers

  • aahh joker you scared the crap out of me XD

    i was like oh shit! now i need to buy a new 360 omg im broke!

    and then, aaaahh joker you clever son of a b*tch!

  • uh lol and i opend my task manager and stopped the game several times and searched for a solution to this problemsilly me :o

  • when this happen i was like wtf then when the begining scene came back on i was like wtf did i buy the wrong game all along and was dreaming lol so then tis Joker Arkham Asylum lol :)

  • I was just playing this tonight at 1:00am and I swear I thought I saw something alien-like out of the corner of my eye moving in my garden. Freaked me the hell out but I kept on playing. THEN I GOT TO THIS BIT IN THE GAME AND I WAS LIKE 'AAAAAHHH THE ALIEN'S MESSING WITH MY TV!!!'. Jumped on my xbox, turned it off and ran upstairs to my room.

    NOW I CAN'T SLEEP!!!

    DAMN YOU, EIDOS!!!

  • Damnit dude I want to see a reaction video but I can't find any.

  • i was playing while it crashed and because i have an xbox i thought, did i accidently move it and it got inside the system? then i realized i bought this of the maketplace. but when i saw the cutscene i was like " my progress!!! no!!!!" but then noticing the upside down bat symbol i was like "huh?"

  • I thought my game had crashed, but I sat around and waited to see if it would sort itself out (got a little worried when I saw the opening cutscene again). And then I was greeted by one of the greatest sequences ever presented in a game. Creepy, but well made.

    Thank God I didn't get the disc out to clean it or anything.

  • lets start the party, with a bang :)

  • part of the game.

    

  • I quit and restarted the game.

    I pulled the disc and cleaned it.

    I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it.

    !!!

    thanks!

  • i was sooo pissed, then i was sooo confused :)

  • If you listen carefully when the screen is crashing, you can hear the Joker..

    ...LAUGHING O.O.

  • wtf....I would not wanna be in the same car the Joker's driving....

  • Thumbs up if you pressed the "Reset" button after fake freeze.

  • The creators actually got me by my ultimate game fear: game crash/freeze

    My 2nd greatest fear is the Game Over sequence in Bart's Nightmare. Ironic isn't it?

  • Creepy. But you gotta love Harley's walk. Watch her swing that butt from side to side...

  • I push Xbox Guide button at that moment- and it's works!

    And i have remembered that if xbox 360 crashes then Xbox Guide button doesn't work.

    But it was still scary a little =)

  • Dunno what's scarier.

    The fake crash/freeze.

    Or Batman crying for help.

  • I thought my xbox was done for. I shut it down, then, began the game again, to find out there just a prank. I've been rick roll'd.

  • when "Crash / Freeze" appears my heart stopped

  • when this happened to me i thought that my videogame broke and i almost cried for real:(

  • Batman didn't cry for help in my game o_O

    Was it changed in the GOTY edition or something?

  • i just shit myself and switched pc off by mains once that happened. 

  • Oh man, that's genius.

  • am I the only one who didn't fall for it?

  • FISSION MAILED!

  • This was absolutely genius. I freaked the hell out when this happened. Thinking that somehow my system just died on me.

  • double u double u double u dot, I think I'm going crazy, dot com.

  • That fear gas really works what a genious joke, its actually scary to the gamer for fearing his/her disc/console is damaged.

  • It's not a bug or anything, game makers just added this one to the game so people all around the world would be just wondering and saying "what's going on?"

  • Hey me too, how to fixes this problem huh?

  • I restarted the game bout 5 times before realizing it wasn't crashing. Great Scene and idea from those game makers. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • @PateMus

    lol, what that only lasted for 8 seconds. Seeing how it takes about 3 seconds to get up and hit the restart button without hesitation... you made the decision in his head to restart the game after just 5 seconds of glitching out?

    Very quick to the button you are...

  • @PateMus so that's supposed to happen? lol

  • Oh god I remember doing this for the first time......and I just got a new Xbox at the time so I just about threw my Xbox out the window.

  • My game ACTUALLY freezes at this part. Damn used Gamestop games...

  • ... This was part of the game?

    God dammit, I just closed it!

  • Oh nvm

  • What's the middle stick

  • is the batman mobile faster than veyron?

  • @Adilshit hells yeah

  • I have been freaking out for 3 days, only to finally google it, and come here to find it's an intentional glitch.

    Son of a bitch, well played.

  • On my PS3, I was so scared, like "Awww...crap." Then I laughed hard. Thanks DC/WB, and the developers.

  • if anyone has a problem with Bane fight i know how to fix it download the movies for batman arkham asylum and extract them update PhysX to 1.1 and download reloaded crack i don't know a link to the movies but if anyone is so kind to upload them send me a mail

  • I somehow saw that coming.

  • the first time I played it and it did that, I was like aw shit... and was reaching for the Xbox to restart it when the cutscene played

  • I think everyone restarted their games at this point. I know i did |D

  • when this part it the game happened i immedeately turnd off my ps3 lol

  • I was so close to turning my 360 off and on because mine had a history of freezing, great Joke from the people at Rocksteady xD

  • ha ha ha use the middle stick! XD

  • in that moment I was about to crash my mind

  • Oh wait, it's part of the game.

  • This is why I can't complete the game... >:(

  • when it froze for me i was scared

  • "Use the middle stick to dodge the joker's fire"

    I hate sadistic game developers.

  • lol

  • This got #1 in 'Best gaming moment of 2009' in '360 magazine' =D

  • JOKER fucked u up lol

  • I'm glad it wasn't my grahpics card that died -_-

  • Hey morons, this is a scripted event, it's supposed to happen.

  • Entonces es una falla del juego and no del GPU ni del CPU o algo de la consola ? a mi me paso lo mismo en una mision jugandolo en Xbox 360 ....

  • Has any1 dodged the jokers gun? what happens after?

  • @bialy77live you can't it's all part of the joke. That specific part with the gun to the head and then the screen saying you lost, do you want to retry or quit, use () to dodge the bullet.

    That entire part is a spoof of CoD 4. You can't actually dodge it though :P

  • Is this supposed to happen?

  • This just happened to me and I thought the game crashed and restarted from the beginning!

  • first i thought wtf! but then i was relieved when i saw 0:21 (scarecrows face instead of batman)

    but i can imagine some people didn't see it as the where in shock :p

  • When this happened to me, having been through a video card crash before, well...

    Brix were shat .

  • @AEigner thats honestly the funniest fucking thing ive heard all week dude

  • whats da middle stick.?? u use it 2 dodge jokers gun fire

  • I have the PC version and it crashes at the same exact point, I dunno WTF was going on. Anyone get this sent to Eidos? They need to redo another patch for this fix.

  • @Projectb15

    It's part of the game dude. Read the comments!

  • @Projectb15

    lol seriously, it's made for it to happen, they're giving you a wtf moment

  • @Projectb15 dude its meant to happen. watch the video and read the comments

  • Greatest thing developers made in game ever

  • guys, is still really a scripted thing or did his cd just not play one part or something, cause i am scared that my PS3 might crash for the 2nd time

  • I have exactly the same thing, but is this really A part of the game or is everyone just trying to screw my PS3

  • lol, when that happen to my ps3, i restarted ps3 three times and cleaning the disc once... then i google the reasons why that happen... lol that was a part of game =)

  • Ok i don't wanna sound like a noob here but... is there any way to solve this Game Crash/freeze? It just starts to get on my nerve.

  • I was playing this on my PS3 when I only had the PS3 for a week and I was like "! WHAT!?! OH GOD NOOO!! (2 Secs later) Oh... well wtf?!". LOL

  • Fission Mailed!

  • has any one noticed the when batmas about to fight scarecrow when he gets gassed he coughs alittle befor anything really happens dont belive me? looks :03

  • The first time this happened to me, I was on top of the gargoyle statue right above where batman is walking in this video, so he didn't cough. You can only guess that I restarted, then when the game did it again, I shut it off and looked up "Arkham Asylum joker glitch" online. I was happy to see that it WAS a scripted event. Damn. I mean, I just got my 5850. Don't fucking do that to me, Eidos! Lol!

  • middle stick WTF

  • When this happened to me I was like uh... wtf??

    And I went to skip the cutscene thinking it just reset the game and at the bottom it said "Skip (Purple J Button)" instead of the normal "Skip (Red B Button)"

    It was funny how when Joker shoots you it says to use the middle stick to dodge it. There is no middle stick or J button.

  • I immediately switched TV sets after that "fake crash", since I thought playing on hi-res via HDMI was putting too much strain on the console. So I played the rest of the game on a lousy old Toshiba TV set. LOL.

  • I actually thought my Xbox 360 was about to RRoD when this happened. xD

  • I actually thought my Xbox 360 was about to RRoD when this happened. xD

  • This had me looking for my game receipt....lucky I saw this post. It's game gimmickery brilliance though...but should come with a warning sticker..FAKE CRASH IN GAME..Do not return to store.

  • does anyone notice at about 00:09 you hear a joker laugh?

  • Oh yeah, Joker? I'm going to plug my controller into the second port.

    yeah, suck on that one.

  • This gave me a shock as well. Icould not tell whether my Tv was broken or my PS3. Clever scare that they thought up :D

  • Yeah at first i thought my ps3 crashed or something i was like SHIT!!!!!!

  • @garrypoop this was on my xbox 360 and you know about the perfect circle scratch i thought it was that and man i was like ohhhh bugger

  • gamesradar

  • I thought my 360 messed up too and I was like, "No! And it was just getting good!" By the way, it's pretty creepy seeing Batman screaming out and asking for someone to help him.

  • If is a sick joke well it was really amazing, think about the scare crow make we feel real fear for our graphic cards.

  • @sinfatus That is EXACTLY it.

  • @sinfatus That is so fucking right, when this happened to me I thought I fried my shit.

  • @sinfatus what would make this even worse if after the screen messes up the red ring of death/ yellow light of death came on the consoles.

  • i was like WTF! when my game froze but then i was relieved

  • This is a relief. I tought that my new graphics card was dead. I can't explain how scared I was.

  • I restarted the program twice becuz I thought my graphic card was crashing or something... scared the joker out of me

  • there no way you will dodge that idiot you just needed retry :))

  • Why batman has holes in his cape? And what was that at 0:03 ? Can batman get ill? I thought his invincible!

  • @SkyGuy19961

    SPOILER ALERT

    Superman is the invincible one. Bats is human and doesn't have any powers, just gadgets. BTW, this is because of one of Batman's enemies, Scarecrow. I'm guessing the coughing is because Scarecrow's fear toxin is taking over batman for the third time in the game. That toxin is what caused the "crash." The first two times the toxin was used to scare batman, but the third time it was used to scare the player. Found out about it before I played and was disappointed.

  • Yeah, I saw the level with scarecrow... Thanks, now I now what will happend after third interaction with acid!

  • @SkyGuy19961

    i said spoiler alert (and shoved off my nerdiness)

  • What the hell is that? Is this mod? Cheat? Or only sick joke of game creators?

  • @SkyGuy19961

    sick joke and a possible homage to Eternal Darkness

  • @SkyGuy19961 fuck you

    its not a mod

  • @asherleez why do you use such strong words? I just haven't played this game yet, so I didn't know that it's not mode. I just asked...

  • Fucking developers, good thing I cecked to see if anyone else had the "problem" after "So did anyone catch the game last night?" I was about ready to go exchange my Arkham Asylum disc. I mean, I've been terrified by Necromorphs, Startled by Big Daddies and Splicers, and even Been attacked by a psychic little demon girl who can melt people's skin with her mind. But nothing has ever scared me more than thinking my few month old 360 was fucked up.

  • You fucking thief. You and people like you will ruin the hobby of playing games on a pc. Its cuz of people like you that we see some game devs shy away from the pc.
