User blog comment:Magma-Man/Top Ten Game Franchises I Want Back This Gen/@comment-1956117-20140107230424/@comment-1854594-20140110113752

When I was younger I liked Spider-Man and that's it. Film and video game portrayals are how I became familiar with the characters, and I out-right hate comic books. It's actually the same story with Transformers, I only realized how much I liked Transformers's lore and characters after playing War for Cybertron, an extremely awesome 2010 third-person shooter. Everyone including yourself are mistaken if you think it's nostalgic or sentimental reasons for me to enjoy these things. You do not need to be familiar with the Batman property to enjoy Arkham Asylum, if anything that arguably can make it better exploring the dark and twisted game and find the collectibles and solving riddles to read up on the characters mostly blind like me. Fun stuff! Like audio recordings with the inmates like one with the Riddler:

"What walks on four legs, then two, then three?" Riddler asks. "A human being. As a toddler it crawls on four, as an adult two, then three at an older age because of a crutch." The psychiatist responds. "No, it's actually just a baby. At first it crawls on four but cut off two of it's limbs and it will hobble around on two, then give it something to hold and it will use that to help." Riddler responds.

Oh, and there's also a character profile for one of Batman's villians who's persona is based off of humpty-dumpty, and he's in the Asylum on account of literally "taking apart" his abusive grandmother and trying to "put her back together again." The game also has massive ammounts of bad language from the antagonistic characters, there are instances of blood and many designs of things such as the Titan mutants are quite disturbing. I hold Arkham Asylum's T rating and Halo's M as a prime example as to why our rating system is flawed.
