Titan Antidote (Batman Arkham Asylum)

First Appearance: Batman Arkham Asylum

The antidote is a plant spore that grows deep beneath Arkham Island, within Killer Croc's lair, which Poison Ivy says that is the only way to reverse the affect of the Titan Strain.

Batman retrieves the spores from Croc's Lair and takes them to the Arkham Batcave to try and reverse manufacture the cure. However he is only able to make one dose of the anti- compound partly due to the speed it takes, as the process takes a long time and partly as the spores he collected wasn't enough. Poison Ivy's plants also smash through the Batcave, destroying the Batcomputer and every other way of manufacturing the cure.

Later Batman uses the antidote on himself, after jumping in front of a Titan dart that was meant for Gordon, forcing him to find a different way to stop the Joker, who injected himself with Titan.

Razor (Batman Arkham Asylum)

First Appearance: Batman Arkham Asylum (2009)

Razor was a henchman, who was transferred to Arkham Asylum after the Blackgate fire. He was a member of the Joker's gang and took part in his escape plan.

Razor was among the Joker's gang who attacked the Medical Centre and took Dr. Stephen Kellerman and Aaron Cash hostage in the Patient Observation Room and release Joker Toxin into the room. However he is too slow and is trapped as well, getting to the higher levels to avoid inhaling it.

When Batman arrives to help, he finds Razor hanging over a small room, clinging onto a rope. Batman cuts him down and he smashes through the roof, surviving the fall and being knocked out, saved from the gas by Batman activating the extractor fan.

He later regains consciousness and goes to the Intensive Treatment Building, where they are just finishing attaching bombs to the gargoyles when Batman arrived. They contact the Joker, telling them they have done and Joker decides to test one out. Razor was still up by the gargyole when it explodes, killing him instantly.

Batman Arkham Asylum (2009) Video Game Review

I love this game ammensly and have invested alot of time into completing it 100%, a theat I don't do unless I have attachment to the game.

The game is the start to a series of games, with the last insatlment taking place next year (Batman: Arkham Knight) and it just is so wonderfully dark and twisted.

The game is entirely set in Arkham Asylum, crossing between the many buildings and exploring the whole Arkham Island. To give a brief idea of the story, Joker has escaped after being brought back by Batman (that same night.) With the help of inmates, he is seeking the TITAN formula, which had been developed secretly with his funding by Dr. Penelope Young.

Batman has to stop Joker as well as solve the many puzzles that Riddler has set around the island for his own amusement. 

The game has brillaint graphics and the most beautiful boss battle to ever grace the gaming world (my opinion with Titan Ivy.) The soundtrack is perfectly fitted to each section and has just the right amount of horror to already make Killer Croc's lair, turn into a house on Nightmares.

The games also has DLC, which allows players to play as the "Clown, prince of Crime" as well as have a host of other game maps, which can be uploaded online for a leaderboard system.

If I had to choose a favourite character I would have to pick Harley Quinn, who is just stunning in how she treats the Asylum like her own personal gynasium. 

Well worth playing, then again... I would say that about the entire series as a whole.
