Harley's Revenge ending [spoilers]

Post » Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:46 pm

Has anyone here completed the DLC for Arkham City yet? Of course you have, else you wouldn't be reading this.

Well, I have scoured the web looking for a topic of discussion that didn't include "it's a bad ending" or "it didn't touch base on the pregnancy test easter egg" which was negative anyway, or "it didn't have any conclusion to Batman's dread outlook after the whole Joker died thing".

Really, am I the only one who saw what the DLC was really about? Am I the only one to see that the DLC was not about Batman, or Harley, or the easter egg?

"Well, Mr. Smarty Pants", you may ask, "What did you see that we did not?"

The whole DLC kept leading on to Robin's disposition with Batman. When Robin saved Bats from the Joker monument, his typical response was "what took you so long?".

"No thank you?", Robin mumbles. Oh well, I guess that's the Batman we know of. Walk it off, no big deal. Then Robin saves him again from Harely's knife. No, "Hey Robin, glad to see you're safe. How about them cops too?". Batman 'greets' him with a unappreciated "Where's the cops?!".

The look on Robin's face after that last moment, the look of despair, anger and resentment. I know that look. I've had it myself whenever somebody you were trying to help, or simply following their orders, treats you like you like garbage, or just plain gets snappy with you. You just want to ask, "What did I do wrong?"

You know that feeling? The one where you did everything you could, and even succeeded, only to get shot down. It's like a knife in the heart. It makes you want quit trying. It makes you want to walk out of your job and leave your boss hanging. And in extreme cases, makes you want to get revenge.

What are your thoughts? Will Robin be a surprise villain in the next game?

I didn't beat Arkham City and have not played the Harley's Revenge DLC. BUT....that's how Batman and Robin work. It's also part of why dike Grayson left originally.

In the Batman games I'm assuming Robin is Tim Drake as Nightwing is dike Grayson correct?
