Man, this game goes dark places...
I continued chasing down Scarecrow in the airships. There were a lot of big battles here, as well as a few challenging stealth rooms. The game is at it's best when there is a large room with a ton of guards roaming and Batman must take them out from the shadows. It feels fucking awesome. Along the way, I discovered that Scarecrow was using the airships to build a device that could unleash fear gas on the whole city. I managed to stop them from releasing it, but it's only a temporary solution.
Batman's fear gas hallucinations are getting worse and worse. I keep seeing the Joker all over the place, teasing Bruce Wayne. Those sequences are very well written, funny and dark at the same time. The voice actor for Joker is none other than Mark Hamill, known as Luke Skywalker, and he does an amazing job with the role. I managed to reach Scarecrow, but was hit with more fear gas. In a great moment, Batman hallucinates and imagines himself shooting Scarecrow in the head with a revolver. That's fucking blasphemy for Batman... he simply does not kill.
Scarecrow got away, so I used the new clues to find Barbara Gordon, also known as Oracle, or Batgirl. In a horrific turn of events, she gets infected with fear gas and shoots herself in the head, dying in front of Batman... It was a powerful scene. The hero decided that Poison Ivy could help him, since she is immune to the fear gas, thanks to her special plant-like abilities. I grabbed her from the GCPD and stowed her in the Batmobile.
I completed a few side quests here and found the vampire bat monster again. I chased him in the air then injected him with anti-serum, though it wasn't quite enough to make him normal again.
