    For the Ratcatcher- I think you can find the same book in the mad hatter's hideout in arkham city, door side of the table, on the ground.

    "You won't send me to da coolah."

    I think the book shown with the rat catcher's effects was "The Pied Piper"

    The book in the ratcatcher scene is probably a reference to the pied piper...he got rid of all of the rats in a village by hypnotizing them, and when the town didn't pay him he did the same thing to all of their children

    woah cool, especially about "Mystery One-Armed Inmate". I was wondering who that was! It would be nice to see his real face and the rendered 3D version

    Another fun fact: Arkham Asylum is inspired by the asylum that goes by the same name in most of HP Lovecraft's works.

    The Creeper had a 12 issue series in 1997, as well. In one of the storylines, he comes to Arkham to interview the Joker, only to have the Creeper persona take over and help Joker let the villains loose and take over the asylum.

    Damn, I missed a lot. And these comments talk about multiple endings? Thank god for Youtube.

    Not that anyone is going to be reading this so far after the fact, but the Ratcatcher's book is likely a reference to Gilbert Ralston's book, The Ratman's Notebook. You may know it as Willard, as its been filmed twice. Willard was probably the inspiration for the Ratcatcher too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratman%27s_Notebooks

    Here's a little fun fact I know of. Burgess Meredith had quit smoking before playing the part of The Penguin for the TV series. When he had to cough he turned the sound into the "Quack, Quack" and it stuck.

  • DryvBy - October 1, 2009 3:06 p.m.

    this is pretty cool stuff.

  • uglynarcissist - September 25, 2009 9:03 a.m.

    I love this article! There's so much I missed, so I'm totally going to have to replay. But the book found with the Ratcatcher's gloves is probably a copy of Ratman's Notebooks, the book that the movie Willard was based off of. Just fyi.

    actually, the information about the Ventriloquist is wrong. This game takes place in the period when both Arnold Wesker and Harvey Dent are cured. Infact, Harvey is once again Harvey, after extensive plastic surgery. They're both free to live outside of Arkham Asylum. However, Wesker is murdered and Two-Face is framed for it. This causes him to relapse back into his neurosis and he becomes a criminal once again. So this game takes place AFTER The Killing Joke and BEFORE Batman: Face the Face. Which pretty much seals a timeline for it. Very cool. But I thought I'd make a small correction. Wesker was actually released. ^^
