Credit where credit's due, there's certainly something to be said for how VERY powerfully and distinctly Batman Arkham City sticks in my memory.
The fact that it has kinda taken over as the definitive version of Batman in my head....
Watching Deadshot on Arrow, watching Penguin on Gotham ...just watching Gotham in general... all take me back to Arkham City.
Even my acknowledgement of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as the true Batman and Joker actually somehow links more directly in my head to Arkham City than it does to Batman: The Animated Series...
Stealing the association with Conroy and Hamill from the DCAU is quite the achievement all on its own....
I suppose I bring this up because every episode of Gotham I watch has my brain persistently trying to extrapolate a path from Gotham's Penguin to Arkham City's Penguin, and sort of trying to do the same for the two James Gordon's too.
