8. Bad Bosses

Look, a retrospective means talking about both the good and the bad.

Not all of Arkham Asylum is perfect, and a few of the boss battles are good examples of this. For a game that’s all about being scary and understated, that Poison Ivy fight sure is extremely silly. Jumping around trying to blow up a giant plant as it shoots lasers is sorta fun, but it’s practically the last boss battle of the game, and it really doesn’t deliver.

I understand why the game doesn’t want to instruct you to punch a woman in the face (which is also why none of the four Arkham games featured a real Harley Quinn boss fight), but there had to be a better option than putting her in a ridiculous murder plant. But Little Miss Little Shop isn’t exactly a fearsome or frightening antagonist.

And that’s not even mentioning the final boss…
