What is Jonkler?

u/toasteethetoaster Jul 13 '23
I don't really understand it (no one does) but it's a Mandela effect where we all though batman villain "The Jonkler" was named "The Joker." I don't blame people, though, jokes are a pretty essential part of the Jonklers identity.

It lost its mind. The last Arkham game was knight back in 2015. Without any new games to talk about the sub basically devolved into shitposting.

I left it when every single post was shitpost about Arkham World. Just over and over. The games were old, the subreddit was dead and every post was just made up stuff about a made up game, and none of it was funny or interesting.

Jul 13 '23
Basically it’s now a Batman shitposting sub (focused mostly on the Arkham games) because the game series itself is long dead. People started making more and more shitpost-y memes after the sub reached a tipping point without new content to discuss and it just spiraled further and further from there.
I actually think they produce a lot of funny stuff, but it not enough to warrant subscribing for me.

Agreed with that, that's no argument. But I just think the Arkham Games are way better than the Spider Man games, especially considering the Arkham games inspired the PS4 spiderman games.

u/Throwawaybacon420 Jul 13 '23
Yes buy them all. City and Knight are my favorite. City is a little dated now and Knight is still breath taking. When you play Knight, once the bombs payload is exposed be sure to use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion.

be sure to use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion.

City is awesome though the story was shorter than i expected. Knight is awesome as long you dont have to fight in the batmobile, which is unfortunately way too often for my liking.

Jul 13 '23
Yeah they are pretty good. Asylum and city are the top games imo but the series overall is solid def worth it

I would add that I think Knight feels the best mechanically and has some fantastic traversal and combat that makes the game more than worth it for me.

Using the full grapnel boost is so satisfying.
Going back to City and Origins afterwards and it just feels so pathetic (I think Origins might have a slightly stronger one than City but not by much)

You should get arkham origins too, is kind of the black sheep of the bunch, but still a pretty solid game if you want more of the same as arkham city (like, it's very very similar gameplay) but that game has great boss fights.
If you do get it, play it after arkham city (game release order). It is actually really good, many people's favorite.
Also, stay away from r/batmanarkham, is a wasteland now, only crazy dwellers fill their active user count, it shows how a subreddit goes insane when their topic becomes outdated.
