The Arkham City Law Suit
Those who played Batman: Arkham City should remember the sheer destruction, havoc, and chaos that was wrought throughout the city of Gotham. This type of explosive mayhem is commonplace in not only many video games, but also the majority of super-hero related artistic expressions such as comic books and movies.
Typically, the monetary and/or legal ramifications of this type of property destruction and/or personal injury are often exiled to the realm of suspension of disbelief.
That being the case, fans aren’t usually expecting to see a self-aware, meta, advertisement offering legal services and possible compensation for those injured or to see a segment on the GC News referencing how a class-action suit is claiming millions of dollars.
It’s refreshing and unique to see Batman: Arkham Knight adding these elements of reality in the game’s background.
