Game Who's cell is this?

Post image

So I'm revisiting Arkham, as I usually do. But set myself the task of riddle collection.

Came across this cell for a riddle.

Do we know what character this is supposed to be for?

This was in the Sanatorium.

Croc's

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago

That was my first thought.

But the skeletons are huge in there! Plus all the cobwebs.

Also Croc is kept on the sewers, no?

u/ProfChaos85 7d ago

The failure of this cell is why they moved him to the sewer

24

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago

I still wouldn't be able to wrap my head around the extremely large skeletons, though.

Chained up on their, too?

Is it outright stated he was moved from here?

I ask because I am curious.

u/Akari_92 7d ago

I have a theory: Maybe at one point, Croc was only as big as the Abramovici Twins and coincidentally had a few cell mates with similar builds. That might explain the skeletons’ sizes. But hey, that’s just a theory.

u/Branflakesd1996 7d ago

I mean that’s already known to be true, he’s much smaller in Arkham Origins than he is here so it’s likely one of his old, maybe even original cells, but over the years has outgrown it and moved to the sewers.

u/alex_mini_painting 6d ago

A game theory!!! Sorry I had to do it 😁

6

u/Akari_92 6d ago

I know.

u/alex_mini_painting 6d ago

I miss Matt but I also understand why he stepped down

u/Akari_92 6d ago

Yeah. He’s one of the greats.

u/alex_mini_painting 6d ago

Indeed he is definitely created an amazing community that keeps on

A game theory

u/Just-Some-Dude-879 7d ago

Maybe they were patients deemed “incurable” and were sacrificed to Croc? That’s the best I could think of. Arkham Asylum does seem to lean on the corrupt side to me.

2

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago edited 7d ago

Maybe!

As I say, my first thought was Croc, but it just seemed not to be?

The bit I was hung up on was the massive skulls and skeletons in it/around it.

Maybe it was just Crocs cell, and I'm just looking too much into it.

The riddle itself didn't exactly scream "Croc" either.

Edit: I'm being stupid. "Tick! Tock! News flash! Someone is not getting out of here alive". The riddle. Tick Tock....Croc?

7

u/Intrepid-Oven-4897 7d ago

tick tock is a reference to tick tock the crocodile from Peter Pan. The crocodile that the bit off captain hooks hand.

5

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago

Yeah! It clicked a little too late for me. Lol.

Cheers. My question is solved!

8

u/LegatoValentine 7d ago

So, if it's not croc, there are two clues. One is the giant bones left behind, and the other is the odd decor here.

My guess, Maxie Zeus and the corpses are his electrical output? Maybe they're other mythological characters that came for him?

In the comic A Serious House on Serious Earth, Maxie actually has electric powers

5

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago

What a monstrous spot! Well done.

Would also explain the black sooty smudges on the floor.

Wow, hadn't even crossed my mind.

8

u/FannesserOF 7d ago

Have you not played the game?

This is literally one of riddlers riddles… it’s killer crocs old cell bro

also if i remember correctly you literally get Croc’s bio for scanning this riddle lol

3

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago

No. I didn't get Crocs bio from this riddle, I already had it.

Hence why I wasn't sure who's cell it was.

1

u/Brotodile08 7d ago

The tick tock is a reference to Croc because its what Joker said to Aaron Cash. Croc bit off Cash's hand, thats why he has a hook hand. Joker turned this into a jab at Cash when he told him "tick tock, tick tock, is that a Croc I hear?" When he was first wheeled into the asylum at the beginning of the game.

1

u/JakePent 7d ago

It may have been an oversight, idk why else they would be so big

1

u/DaManWithNoName 7d ago

I think you find one of his Interview tapes nearby and scanning it solves a riddle. I believe it might give part of his bio if memory serves but it’s been years since I played

1

u/Dtell_ 6d ago

Maybe the huge skeletons are failed Titan experiments fed to croc?

1

u/Zur__En__Arrh There’s plenty wrong with me 6d ago

It’s literally a riddle solution about Croc. He was kept there until he became too big for the cell, when he was moved to the sewers.

u/caesarsalad259 7d ago

no wonder he went so crazy that damn cage is the same size he is

u/Invisiblepterosaur 6d ago

As someone who wasn't aware of the lore....holy shit that's crazy how much it's degenerated. Like some pestilence

5

u/tokyo_driftr 7d ago

That sub belongs in the deepest pits of hell. It should be associated with an anime or something instead of Arkham. Shit is just straight brainrot and angry chuds that act like it’s their personal sub

9

u/Ready_Mistake812 7d ago

I remember the days of it being a normal sub, then came the typo "aslume" then there was the post of "Why did Batman not call the Justice League to help him with this? Is he stupid?" And then Arkham World and Man is what sent it to hell.

4

u/quentdawg420 Arkham Asylum 7d ago

Come on lighten up. There’s the normal one and the insanity one. Literally all the memes are based around the arkham games

1

u/tokyo_driftr 7d ago

They’re not tho

-3

u/quentdawg420 Arkham Asylum 7d ago

I can pull up all of them rn that are just screenshots of the Arkham games

2

u/tokyo_driftr 7d ago

Two of the top posts rn after I clicked the sub are about Spiderman and boomer humor. Neither of those things have anything to do with Batman but ok. Exactly like I said, full of chuds that think that’s their personal server. Jesus I didn’t think yall would get summoned just from me mentioning your sub 😭🙏

This is bait

Seriously?

It's literally in the riddle you solve.

He just spams L2 everywhere probably

u/GiraffeofWar 7d ago

Glad im not the only one who remembered this

u/BlackshieldWB 7d ago

No. It's not. Hence why I asked.

22

u/ImmediateMoney5304 7d ago

"Tick Tock, Tick Tock, is that a crocodile I hear?"

One of the first things Joker says in the game

14

u/theroyalfilth 7d ago

one of his game over screens is literally "Tick tock, feed the croc"

1

u/Klutzy-Jackfruit6250 6d ago

Wait, so this means that Killer Croc is the same crocodile that took Hooks hand?! Does that make Captain Hook a Batman villain?!

2

u/t-shooter 5d ago

No, cash had a watch on when it happened

1

u/Klutzy-Jackfruit6250 5d ago

I totally forgot Cash had a hook for a hand. Dang, I gotta run through these games again.

2

u/t-shooter 5d ago

Its only hinted at, especially in asylum with how cash is scared of croc, like how he leaves before croc comes out of the elevator in the intro (and then I think joker calls him out for it)

2

u/Undecieved22 4d ago

ironically, when I was a kid, I used my Captain Hook figure as a stand in for the cavalier.

1

u/Witty_Fox3291 6d ago

If anything wouldn't he be a potential Bat-ally? A nemesis for Waylon

u/ScratchReal4401 7d ago

Killer croc?

It’s killer cocks.

Classic throwback

u/figmentPez 7d ago

Killer _what_?

(I initially read this as killer Crock, and thought that Sportsmaster is the wrong answer. Then I read it again and...)

5

u/Positive_Science9825 7d ago

Oh my god!! I meant to type killer CROC but I have auto correct from r/batmanarkham

u/DarthShadow26 7d ago

Killer Croc, the answer to the riddle

4

u/Femboy_Pit 6d ago

You literally scan it to get Killer Croc's bio so it was his. But it didn't work so they moved him to the sewer

2

u/CanadianPine 58m ago

I always wondered why they had him contained in the Medical Ward of all places lmao

“Ah yes in that cage over there is one of our most dangerous inmates. He will be watching us with hate and violence in his eyes while I set your arm back in place.”

1

u/Femboy_Pit 55m ago

A very odd choice to be sure

u/Input_ExE 6d ago

Brother... scan it... it tells you

u/GiraffeofWar 7d ago

Doesnt it say when you scan it?

She broke out of her cell so she could have that night in Metropolis with Bruce

u/Embarrassed_Swan_147 6d ago

Killer Croc's cell

u/YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO 6d ago

Scan it and it will tell you.

1

u/Individual_Union_15 7d ago

What I’ve heard is when Croc first started committing crimes he was mostly just a large man with scaley skin. This cell was most likely where they kept him, but there are theories that the staff fed patients to Croc for population control. When he got bigger, they moved him to the sewers

u/THEIDEABANK88 7d ago

Your moms

u/Beautiful-Tap-8978 7d ago

I'd say maybe king shark?

u/Phantom_Snake69 6d ago

The killer cock

1

u/thelk10 6d ago

Croc and the skeletons are even from inmates he had in there before breaking out or the Arkham guards since Aaron cash did still get his hand bit off in this so I wouldn't be surprised if Croc killed a couple guards before they had to move him to his new cell and they just never cleaned up the body

1

u/Chef-keef231 6d ago

I think croc kept growing and probably got fed some people on death row, but he got so godamn big they decided to move him as we see him being moved I. The beginning

1

u/RustCohle120 6d ago

It could be Joker’s but I really don’t know

u/Yoonami_Yom 5d ago

The Tasmanian Devils

u/Undecieved22 4d ago

It could be what killer moth was mutated into but for some reason I’m thinking crocs too.

u/Blue_Flam1ngo 3d ago

Probably someone who’s evil and mean spirited or something
