Possible spoilers if you haven't gotten past the Killer Croc segment of the game.
 
While playing Batman: Arkham Asylum I couldn't help but feel like the actual encounter with Killer Croc was a bit of a let down. On the whole the game is fantastic and from the start Killer Croc is introduced in an awesome way. As I progressed and picked up more information on him, and was given a glimpse of him through a door, I felt like the game was getting it all right and was very excited to actual meet Killer Croc.
 
The actual sequence with Killer Croc, while competent, was a bit anti-climactic. Does anyone else feel this way? I would prefered a more direct fight rather then what amounted to be 20 minutes of dodging him.  
 
Just curious as to what the Giant Bomb community thought of this segment of the game, I sure feel like Killer Croc, being as cool as he is, could have been utilized in a better way.

He was such a puss.
 
Batarang, bonk, walk.

I kind of agree. Although I had a blast having the shit scared out of me every time he jumped out I would have liked to have fought him in a little more of a direct way. But then it would have probably been a fight like Bane's, so maybe the Crash Bandicoot run at the end was a fine way to end it.

Yeah, I thought all the build-up at the beginning of the game was pretty suspenseful, what with all the Croc lumbering around and growling.
 And then the fight turns out just being throwing a batarang at him every time he stupidly pops up. Like whac-a-mole. The rest of the game, errr except for the Poison Ivy fight, was awesome.

I was just glad to be done with the sewers, really. But I thought the way it ended was more of a temporary solution. And we'd have to kick his ass for reals a little later. 
Guess not.

The boss fights are one of the worst things about Arkham Asylum. Very dull compared to the rest of the game.

" I kind of enjoyed it but I don't really know what to say.  Part of me thinks that it could have been better, but the other part of me wonders what the hell they would've done.  I definitely wouldn't be surprised if another game was made with Killer Croc in mind as the antagonist.  That little tidbit after the credits gives quite a big hint. "

I thought that it was quite suspensful when he jumps up but you cant see him but I would of prefered somehting where you have to trick him and catch him somehow that isnt just basically done by the game. For example one way of catching him could be by turning on detecive vision and looking through the water seeing which board hes lurking under then set a trap for him like spraying gel onto the boards and when he passes detonating it to send him back into the water or (and I know you cant do this in the game but they could of done this for this boss fight) use your line launcher and set it across the tunnel and when the croc runs into it he falls. Actually that line launcher bit wouldnt work but you get the idea

If it's the tidbit I think you mean that was Bane's hand, not Croc.  As for the encounter itself, I enjoyed it for the most part. It would have been a bit too repetitive if the meet up was another "beat on the villain until subdued" battle. Made for a bit of variety and you know they had to save some stuff for the eventual sequel. "

I liked the way they did it.

if it would have been an actual fight it would be like fighting bane again

I think they did the best they could given how outmatched batman would be in a straight fight with Croc.

My thoughts:

I enjoyed the fight, but I think it would have been great if they turned him into a sort of 'Nemesis' character. He could have come bursting through the walls in some of the deep down areas of the compound during some of the calmer parts of the game.

thought it was very disappointing, should of been able to hit him with the bat airplane thing, like bane with the car

Like most of the boss fights in the game, it just felt kind of bland. I mean just one batarang and he was back in the water? Hopefully if they do a sequel we can have a proper fight with Killer Croc.

All of the boss fight for this game are terrible.
