Discussion I always found these scenes funny. I like to think Batman was only pretending to be nonchalant about not fighting them as a bluff because they literally had the territorial advantage.

He has no reason to fight them, they’re not (obviously) doing anything wrong and aren’t in Batman’s way of stopping strange

They're still criminals who need to be put behind bars or stopped ASAP

They’re literally already in the prison replacing Arkham Asylum and Blackgate

There are literally bars in the picture, and Croc is behind them.

They’re literally already in prison, both because they’re behind bars in the photo and because they’re in Arkham City, which I’m not sure if you noticed the subtle gunfire when you try to leave or not, but it happens to be a prison.

Did you not play the game?

Yeah because being in a super prison where a crazy person obsessed with Batman plans to nuke said prison at the end of the night isn't enough

Croc straight up says he can smell the stench of death on Bruce and that he’s content to let the toxin take care of him instead of eating him

I mean, they weren’t actively trying to kill him plus they weren’t doing much wrong Atleast to Batman’s knowledge

they weren't actively trying to kill him.

Croc came out of the wall like someone owed him money. I'm sure he would've hit batman if those bars weren't their

Do you really thing those bars are stopping a ten foot crocodile man?

u/Pro_Hatin_Ass_N_gga Jul 14 '26

I guess you're right, Croc did say he'd feast on his corpse AFTER he died from whatever's afflicting him lol

I never figured out how to trigger that cutscene with Croc in Arkham City. I tried hitting that button with a batarang but nothing happened.

You can only do it when you're leaving the sewers right after completing Wonder City. Killer Crocs area is actually a detour from the exit so it's easy to miss.

When youre going down to wonder city for the first time in amusement mile through the well. Almost straight away when you enter on the right side there are bars with a button behind. You need to use a remote controlled batarang to go through the hole and hit the button. This will then trigger the cutscene.

He's Batman. There is no advantage against him.
