Joker Arkham Knight

This one’s an unlikely sidekick to be sure, and although his ultimate goal is to takeover Batman, he serves as a sort of sidekick for most of Arkham Knight. Early on in the game, players discover that Batman has remnants of the Joker have taken root in his brain.

Shortly after this discovery, the Joker spends the majority of the game bombarding Batman with snarky comments and strangely encouraging him along the way at points.

When you grapple to the top of a building, and the Joker jumps over the edge trying to scare you, is certainly unnerving but somehow charming as well. As he uses his murderous humor to mock and chastise Batman, it’s somehow endearing. You’re always excited to see what this deranged villain is going to say next.
