I know Arkham Asylum isnt a
standard mental health care facility by any reasonable measure, but the
attic torture room seems to be a bit much. In fact, the guards getting the
whip and the chainsaw ready, while the Riddler lies helplessly on the
electroshock table, reminds me of some of the Abu Graib pictures.

Arent torture chambers generally located in the basement? I reckon its the
Lobotomy Ward. Thats much more jolly.

I may be taking this the wrong way, but I think this image seriously
detracts from this set, and its not something I would feel comfortable
allowing children to see (yes, I know theyll see worse on TV).

Batman as a theme in general touches on some pretty dark themes that probably
arent appropriate for children. Ive often wondered how toy companies in
general can justifiably market products aimed at children based on movies
with a clear MA rating (or even PG13) eg. Revenge of the Sith, Batman Begins,
Spiderman 3 etc. Obviously Ive got outmoded ideas about the principles of
toy design.

Reading through this thread I was coming to the same conclusions. I think its
the main point. If a film is unsuitable for children then why are toys made of
it?
