I beat the game a few days ago and upon trying to get all of the Riddler stuff I found Calendar Man in the jail cell of Two-Face's court room. I thought it was a neat little easter egg to put in this game. I noticed when you talk to him that he keeps mentioning Halloween and to visit him then. I looked at the trophy list and one of the acheivements is called Storyteller and its description is "Have 12 Murderous Dates with Calendar Man". So aparrently there are 12 different holidays you have to visit him in order to get this trophy. I'm excited to see what happens on Halloween, but I wonder if this means if you miss one holiday that you have to wait a WHOLE year to get it again. I really don't want to pull an Animal Crossing Resetti and cheat to get each holiday, but I don't know if I have it in me to remember to boot the game up each time one comes along!

So has anyone heard if you can cheat the system and get all of the holidays by changing your systems date? If not I'm gonna have to mark in on my real calendar or phone or something to remember!

You can cheat to get the achievement, yeah.

The calendar next to his cell has dates circled, you have to talk to him on those days to unlock the achievement. Without cheating, you'd have to wait until August of next year to unlock the achievement.

ah well...cool concept for him and the acheivement, but I'm never gonna remember! Thanks guys!

I got the achievement by changing the date on the system. I know it's dirty. But I don't have time to wait a year to get one achievement. Although, I will have great admiration for anyone you commits to getting the achievement by booting the game up on those dates for a year.

hmmm...so you CAN cheat this achievement... :)

I'm determined to get this legit for some crazy reason. Batman makes all holidays better.

Calendar Man was a huge disappointment. He was so cool though. I like his voice.

How is he a disappointment? He's a barely B-tier Batman villain whose gimmick is committing crimes on specific dates. That he's given anything special to do at all in the game is remarkable in itself.

It would have been cool if somehow he escapes each major holiday and there was a side mission you did each day. Like some sort of Christmas themed murder he commits, or with other various holidays.

He had potential to be totally awesome though, with how Rocksteady was talking about him. Then you see him... And all he does is tell you stories(That, given, I found fun) and limps back to his bed.

I don't recall reading anything prior to the game's release that Calendar Man was going to be anything other than a glorified storyteller.

This exactly. Oh man!

lol so it goes by the system date? taht would be cool if it was a hot chick, i mean come on bats gots to get loose some time or another, and you could like have VR sex with someone, maybe catwoman, robin if your that way... no judgement here... you gotta like glide through little rings until you land on the 'egg' as a sperm side quest, to have a baby....

whew that was like a stroke of genius, i need to rest now....

Indeed he is pretty lame. Committing crimes on specific dates... isn't that what all criminals do if they ever plan something?

I'm a big fan of Long Halloween/Dark Victory so Calendar Man's inclusion is a neat little thing.

I went on the 360 achievements website and someone said they got banned from Live for a week for network manipulation or something like that. Has this happened to anyone or anyone they know? I think what I might do is just sign out of Live and then change the date and get every holiday except Halloween and then on Monday just get the last date and achievement then but I don't want to do it if I get in trouble.

I think most people can wait a year for a trophy/achievement...also I frequent akramcity.co.uk and while they do get a little batwild at times the whole oracle kidnapped things was just a misunderstanding based on early reports of the courthouse demo.

I found him the first time in the courthouse looking for trophies. Is it just me, or does anyone else think the ominous mumbling is really creepy? Especially before you actually see him and just hear it in the background.

The best part is when you've done all twelve months. Go back in and see him then....

my friend already has the achievement though and it hasn't been a full year. He just changed the dates and well it makes sense sine he is an achievement whore.

I will happily play this game until next year, bring it on Calendar Man

As a friendly reminder today is Thanksgiving so don't forget to go and talk to him.

Wh-What the hell are you talking about dude?

Happy Labor Day! Congrats on anyone else who bothered to get the achievement legit.

oh man, i was playing the game normally today and almost forgot! whew.

Brothers in arms Hell's Highway did this too, but you couldn't cheat it. These types of achievements are neat if done right.
