Current Events > You have to love the hyperliteral take on Day's words (Arkham Batman spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was there at your beginning, and I will be there at your end. ~ Calender Man in Arkham City

Writers: "So how do we interpret that? Wait I know. Have him stand in the background during Arkham Origins and never interact with Batman at all, and then have him turn up as one of the generic lookie loos in the crowd at the end of Arkham Knight and not interact with Batman at all. There we go, he was there at the beginning and end."

Well yes I suppose that's true but I think the spirit of the foreshadowing was that he was going to do something.

Not that he was literally just there occupying space at the time. It's like Sora from Kingdom Hearts just being inserted into Disney movies but then just standing there in the background during the climaxes

Yeah, I don't know that a statement made by arguably the craziest character in the series needed to be explained.

1. How is he even close to the craziest character in a series that contains Joker Zsasz, Riddler etc.
2. You seem to be intentionally missing the point.

1) His gimmick is one of the craziest.

2) I am literally agreeing with you and you're still trying to argue.

Set the calendar and he has many lines.

He has one special line too, but I forgot how you trigger it.

It's the date of Rocksteady's founding IIRC.

That's your fault for responding to UnfairRepresent. You know the risk you run when you do that.

How do people not understand this by now?

No, I know, he can just be halfway sane in topics related to games and stuff.

This is an odd thing to get so triggered over that you felt the need to make this topic.

How are you agreeing with me?

I'm saying its funny how they took such a hyperliteral anti-climatic response to blatant foreshadowing from previous games.

And your response was "ACTUALLY they didn't need to bother explaining it at all!" which is just a silly argumentative statement for no reason

I said what I said in a pretty straightforward way.

It's mildly amusing

Doesn't he only say that line if you set the date to December 13th which is the day Rocksteady was founded? I think its more of a nod to that.

I'm saying they didn't need to shoe-horn him into Origins and Knight just because a crazy dude said something crazy.

That is, I am agreeing with you.

Holy shit.

But.... they did..

Agreeing with me by arguing at every turn

I don't get that but I guess you'd have to be argumentative to understand

And you're saying it's dumb.

Ho. Lee. Shit.
