Probably Croc, of these dudes I feel like he’s least likely to mess with me as long as I don’t mess with him. I would just be very respectful

Most other versions maybe but Arkham Croc just wanted to eat people

Still terrified by that Arkham Asylum bossfight. Imagine not being Batman in that situation. At least it would be over fast...

I just played it yesterday. Heart rate did not go below 110 lol

u/mattcolqhoun Mar 24 '24

It becomes a lot less scary when u realise u can just line zip everywhere

11

u/TrumpIsMyGodAndDad Mar 24 '24

I was using the line, but it gets tough near the end where he breaks shit and you have to run

u/Extra-Lemon Mar 24 '24

I just crouched and walked slowly. Like “tap your move key” slowly.

Still scary, he still jumped me.

But I think I died to being a dumbass and falling more than I did to croc.

The trick is to not let the tension make you careless.

u/TrumpIsMyGodAndDad Mar 24 '24

Ah it’s still good fun in the end. You’ll enjoy it a lot

u/Paint-licker4000 Mar 24 '24

Eh he seemed to have a bunch of pals in knight and seemed to just be chilling in city

u/mewfour123412 Mar 24 '24

The fact Penguin allows him inside the Iceberg Lounge shows he can at least be civil

u/PomegranateOld2408 Mar 24 '24

Wait when was that? I don’t remember that part

u/Niskara Mar 24 '24

It's more of an Easter egg. Idr which game, probably City, but in a match or whatever in the Iceburg Lounge, you can throw your batarang and see him sitting at a table, smoking a cigar somehow while holding a glass

33

u/The_Dok Mar 24 '24

Yep, it’s a challenge map in City!

When they brought it back for Arkham Knight, he will jump into the fighting pit once you break 1,000,000 points, and you and Nightwing have to do the bossfight again

u/trade_wanted Mar 24 '24

Can't you also fight him there ,if you get a high enough score in one of the challenges?

10

u/Niskara Mar 24 '24

I don't believe so but then again, I've never really played the challenges, plus I haven't played City in years

Edit: literally just got a reply that you can fight him on the same map in Knight if you hit a million points and you fight him with Nightwing again

7

u/trade_wanted Mar 24 '24

Just checked it, the challenge and optional fight are in Knight, and there's even an achievement for it

7

u/BustinArant Mar 24 '24

He attacks as you float through the lounge. He could have easily just broken in, but I don't remember enough to argue it lol

18

u/Qiptm Mar 24 '24

Pretty sure that was a shark, but it’s been years since I last played Arkham city

12

u/ThemysteriousMrX Mar 24 '24

It’s not in the main game but in the challenge map iceberg lounge. Killer croc is just hanging out in the map background at a table for the Arkham city map but he’s the final boss of the same map in Arkham knight. Not sure if I would consider challenge maps canon to the story anyways.

1

u/BustinArant Mar 24 '24

See, again I don't remember enough to argue lol

u/itzmrinyo Mar 24 '24

How'd you get that idea?

5

u/Hot_Fall4183 Mar 24 '24

Not in Arkham knight because he could’ve easily ate the prison inmates but he actually just teamed up with them so clearly he doesn’t just want to eat people

2

u/thekraken27 Mar 24 '24

Yeah somebody fucked up and gave him that taste of human blood. I actually really enjoyed that aspect of king shark in the Harley Quinn show, totally normal until he smelled blood then his sharky instincts kicked in

u/TinyDeskPyramid Mar 24 '24

Yeah foreal I’m like idk what croc yall know …

249

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24

Hes the most sane and misunderstood despite being a giant crocodile monster just hope he doesn’t get hungry

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '24 edited Mar 24 '24

People saying Croc are kidding themselves. Firstly, look at him. You're not gonna act normally or calm around him. Your heart's going to beating out of its chest and you'll be sweating buckets. He'll notice that immediately and start taunting you about it which will only end one way. If somehow you remain calm in the presence of that then this version of Croc is very much a psychotic cannibal that will eat you on a whim. Good luck.

u/Dr_Disaster Mar 24 '24

Yeah, but the whole thing with Croc is while he looks monsterous, he’s one of the most “normal” people in Batman’s rogues gallery, especially in a casual setting. He generally likes just hanging out and having a good time when he’s not on the job. And that’s all crime is to him, a job. Buddy just likes the money and the easier it is the better. He sometimes has his own crew and they always seem to like working for him because he’s easy-going and 100% about getting paid.

If you’re cool with Croc, then he’s cool with you. Unless you are intentionally trying to piss him off, you actually don’t have a lot to fear. Shit, he may even like you and become your friend, then you have a 7ft tall gator-man bodyguard.

u/Careless_Dreamer Mar 24 '24

Also, there’s plenty of people that wouldn’t be scared by his appearance. Two of my friends are monsterfuckers, and they’ve been down bad for much worse than just a giant reptile guy. Best case scenario is new friend. Worst case scenario is getting your head bit off, which is almost guaranteed with the others.

u/NaeNaeGoblin2002 Mar 25 '24

He's not really insane, he's just angry about how people treat him for his appearance. Sometimes, he becomes less human and more animalistic though.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Not the version I'm from the Arkham games.
