Alternate Ending / Credits

[simula67]

Just like in Arkham Asylum, it appears that there are different versions of the credits in this game.

Without going into specifics, these are the ones that I know of:

1. normal credits (this is the one I got, aka lamesauce)
2. Joker singing a song
3. Harley singing a song
4. transmission from Oracle

Three appear to be random, while one depends on a choice in one of the missions.

Which ending(s) did you get?

You forget the ending if as Catwoman you decide to leave the city instead of help Batman! ITS AWESOME!

In mine,

I had Catwoman go back for Batman.

Thalia broke free and killed the Joker in the final scene.

And as a result, I got ending #2 of 4 ...

... a belated (read: post mortem) voicemail from Joker, singing "Only You".

It was a creative spin on the notion that Joker likes (and needs) Batman because, in a demented sorta way, he gives him purpose and is {was} his foil in life.

Don't expect Joker to stay dead for long. Comicbook history is jam packed with instances of irreplaceable heroes and villains dying and coming back from the dead, and given the subplot with the lazarus pit, it's easy to see how the writers can, do it here.

My guess - Thalia cut a deal with Joker (whose nihilistic views loosely parallel her father's), and then killed him in the climax, with the understanding that she'd steal back his body (after killing him) and bring him to the Lazarus Pit. Her killing him would be the perfect cover for Joker, and would also solve Batman's plot dilemma. That'd require a leap of faith by the Joker, but since the latter was dying without the cure anyway, the leap was not nearly as large as it might appear. That's just one possible permutation for his return.

Actually, that is the #4 ending above. I didn't forget it.

So far I have only gotten the one, which I was disappointed in. I am hoping that finishing New Game + might unlock another one.

I got the Joker singing one and found it a bit genius too, with the free roam your in at the end leaves you room to piece it all together what is next for series I can't wait.

[simula67]

It appears that if you find the super-super-super-secret hidden item (which is actually in plain sight) on the floor in the steel mill next to Harley's costumes before the end of the game, that is how you trigger Harley singing after the credits.

[grayghost]

I got the joker singing as well. Talk about intriguing and creepy at the same time. Should have know there would be different/multiple endings

[XXShredGnarXX]

Cant wait to see the joker singing a song. Sounds pretty sick.
