Telltale Batman Episode Four

Batman and Gordon make their way down through the GCPD building, taking out goons along the way. They are then informed by an officer that the commissioner is in the lobby and in danger. Batman and Gordon make their way there and take out the goons, but not before one of them shoots the commissioner. After a moment to grieve, Sergeant Kelly radios in a hostile situation at Wayne Manor. Dent’s responsible, and he’s demanding Bruce Wayne shows up. If Gordon arrives, he’ll kill one of the hostages, but if Batman arrives he’s threatening to kill them all. Gordon is badly injured from the fight and so Batman insists he visits a hospital, before grappling out through the ceiling window to take care of business.

On the rooftop, Batman contacts Alfred to make sure he’s alright. He’s barricaded up in the Batcave, but has heard gunshots. Unfortunately, Dent’s men have taken out the cameras so he’s unaware of what’s going on. Batman then decides he’ll show up as Bruce to prevent him from killing anyone else.

The chapter then flips to a flashback to one year ago of Bruce and Harvey having a drink and discussing the funding for his campaign. Dent reassures Bruce that he’d never forget it and he’d never let him down if Bruce was serious about pledging support.

Back in the present day, Dent is in Wayne Manor threatening hostages. If you’re careful here, you can talk Harvey out of shooting a number of different hostages. After talking Dent out of it, he’ll point the gun to his own head and toss the coin. Bruce catches it in midair, leaving the player with two choices on what to do with it. You can either pocket it and force him to make his own decision, or throw the coin and let it do the job for him. We pocketed the coin, and this led to Dent having a breakdown, unable to make the decision. The police arrest him and take him away.

As you’re talking with the police, a Child of Arkham, one of Dent’s hostages, takes shots at Bruce while shouting that he should be in Arkham Asylum. Fortunately, the police have Bruce’s back and manage to shoot him. With his last breath, the goon informs Bruce that Lady Arkham still hasn’t forgotten about him just yet.

Back in the safe confines of the Batcave, Bruce and Alfred talk about fixing everything. Alfred mentions that he feels he is to blame for all of this. Had he just stood up to Bruce’s father it would all be so different. After discussing this, Bruce will turn to his computer and login to the Wayne Enterprises system to see what Oswald was up to while in charge.

Investigating the Lady Arkham file will bring Bruce back up to speed with everything he knows about her thus far. Logging into Wayne Enterprise’s systems will reveal a number of folders which summarize Penguin’s plans. He was looking into surveillance footage of a number of major buildings around Gotham, was contemplating buying an island and calling it Falcone Island, and was funding the Children of Arkham’s armory with Wayne Tech money. He also altered several public records – his own, Vicki Vale’s, and Bruce’s.

He’s just fooled around in Bruce’s one so he simply corrects it. Cobblepot has falsified his own to make his resume sound incredible, and as for Vicki’s, he’s wiped any mention of her birth name, Vicki Arkham. He also removed a certain publication that she wrote while working at the gazette. Bruce has a program that can decrypt and reverse the removal process. Returning to Vale’s profile, the Bat computer automatically completes the rest of her record, allowing you to discover that she was investigating which people were actually sick at Arkham Asylum and which ones were simply there because Thomas Wayne, Falcone, and Hill had wrongly sanctioned them.

Bruce then learns that she’s been looking into the schematics of every landmark in the city that use Wayne Tech security systems. Suddenly, something pops up on the map and Bruce realized that Selena has stolen one of his motorcycles. Bruce concludes that he’ll need to speak to her in order to get the skeleton key disc that you caught her red-handed trying to steal back in episode one. It would allow Vicki to hack every one of those locations’ security systems remotely. Bruce sets off to meet Selina to ensure she doesn’t give it to Vale for a sizable sum.
