Batman: Arkham Shadow Holds Origins and Blackgate Dear to Its Heart
Previously, the character of Carmine Falcone was merely referenced, while his son Alberto appeared in a scene where Penguin tormented him. It’s quite engaging to note that Bruce Wayne interacts with Carmine several times during the game “Shadow,” sometimes as Batman and other times as Malone. This is a contrast to his statement in “Origins” that he doesn’t require the Falcones in his debt. Moreover, given Carmine’s significant role in the established narrative of Harvey Dent’s transformation into Two-Face, it seems fitting that he assumes such a crucial role in “Batman: Arkham Shadow.” However, it turns out that Carmine may not have been directly involved in Harvey’s metamorphosis into Half-Charred.
