Batman: Arkham City

Game cover

## Chronology

**Batman: Arkham City** is a video game based on the long-running Batman comic book mythos.

It did everything a sequel should: expand the world, characters, and gameplay. But it did that in such expert ways that people still consider it the pinnacle of the Arkham Series, myself among them.

## Overview

Over the course of the game, several corpses litter around the titular Arkham City. Some corpses disappear, while some stay consistent across the map. However, the sum doesn't actually start for a while in the story. So I'll just start by counting a bunch of the background bodies.

### Park Row

In Park Row, there are various outposts set up by TYGER Guards with guns and electric fences. There's one outpost on the edge of Park Row with 2 guys, along with one next to the Political Prisoner camp with two guys.

While making my way over to the museum, I found 11 dead Two-Face goons, 2 of which have been killed by Ivy's plants.

### Amusement Mile

There is an outpost on the edge of Amusement Mile with one inmate.

After Joker's crew made their way to the old GCPD Building where Penguin's men had taken over, a turf war went down and 11 goons were killed: 8 of them Penguin's, and 3 of them Joker's just outside of the main gates.

Once Penguin blows up the Old Gotham Freeway, there are 6 of Joker's Men visible in the water. And Vicki Vale's pilot dies here also, at a much later point in the story.

### Industrial District

There is an outpost on the west side of the Industrial District with one inmate, as well as one at the back of the Steel Mill with one inmate.

There's 3 inmates who have been dumped in the Ferris Wheel by the Joker's henchmen.

An inmate was killed by Zsasz and slouched on a payphone.

In Scarecrow's secret barge, we see an unfortunate inmate be scared to death by Scarecrow's fear gas.

### The Bowery

There is an outpost just north of the museum with two inmates.

### Steel Mill

So, can somebody please explain to me why there are literally no bodies in **Joker's** hideout? Oh, besides Joker himself. Don't worry though. He was brought back probably by a defibrillator.

### Museum

So how come Penguin has more bodies in his museum than Joker in the Steel Mill again? Because there's a lot more bodies in here, and a **TON** of skeletons in this place.

### Subway

Time to head into a dark and gritty subway to track a League of Assassins member. Yay? Also a lot of Penguin's goons are murdered here so yeah.

### Wonder City

Home of the League of Assassins, who really have been improving on their decoration skills. I mean, do you see all the dead bodies they have strung up? Ugh, they're just fabulous! Oh, and one goon walks forward with a sword in his back.

### GCPD

Ah the Mister Freeze fight, my favorite part of the game. Nobody dies while this fight goes on, but as we leave the building, we can see a couple of people in the morgue.

### Protocol 10

Probably the most dreadful part of these games to count besides the Cloudburst in Arkham Knight. Protocol 10 is a plan that involves every inmate to be executed and nobody be left alive, which let me tell you, was not a fun mission to count bodies in.

### Arkham City Processing Center

We're finally done with that dang mission! And we also get to see a TYGER Guard dead here. It's about time! I just had to count over 100 dead inmates while avoiding several TYGER choppers, so getting to see a TYGER Guard dead makes me really happy.

### Wonder Tower

So, Ra's al Ghul was the mastermind behind this entire plot, eh? Well luckily he impales himself twice while falling out of Wonder Tower. Oh, and also Strange blows himself and 6 TYGER Guards up in a cliché self-destruct system.

### Monarch Theater

What a lame end to an assassin. She just took one shot to the back? Pfft. Also, has anybody else cried every time they see Joker die? No? Just me? Ok. Also also, no. Clayface ain't dead, which I feel is kind of obvious, but for those of you who thought he was, he isn't cause he's pretty much immortal already.

### Inmate Talk

In some convos, inmates will discuss fellow dead henchmen or the victims they killed.

### Calendar Man Dates

In every Calendar Man date, Julian talks about ways he murdered people in whatever sort of holiday form.

### Zsasz's Tally Marks

Zsasz leaves a tally mark for every person he's killed. Analyzing his front view (and his bio artwork) we have a total of 325 victims. Minus all the previously mentioned kills, and we've 319 unknown kills by Zsasz.

**Total: 892**

You can always correct this.
