Top 10 Surprise Endings in Video Games

09. Batman: Arkham City (Rocksteacy, 2011)

I will be the first to admit it - did NOT see that one coming... The thing about the ending of City is that it flies in the face of the entire foundation of just who - and what - the Batman is!

We have always known that Batman - in every different manner in which he has been portrayed - is the basic definition of 'good guy' and 'do gooder' so to have the ending turn out to be The Joker's death?!

Now, granted, Batman did not actually kill Joker - it is clear that Joker killed Joker by attacking the Bat and causing him to drop the vial when he was stabbed. But still... There is that nagging little voice in the back of your head that kept saying 'yep, he is gonna save him' right up until the last gasp and the Joker dies.

Because Why? I will tell you why! Because Batman SAVES people, he doesn't KILL them! And yet it happened.

Now you may be tempted to dismiss this since (a) you had no control over it, and (b) it probably happened because Mark Hamill announced he was not going to voice Joker ever again nuh uh! Hey, those are excuses man! Joker died!

Did not see that coming.
