Batman: The Enemy Within Episode Five review — The Joker gets the last laugh

Since the first episode of Telltale Games’ Batman: The Enemy Within, Bruce Wayne and John Doe’s friendship has been hurtling toward a deadly standoff like a rickety roller coaster ride at a defunct funhouse. And in the finale, Same Stitch, we finally get to see John’s true colors in all their psychedelic, bloody glory.

Notably, your choices leading up to Episode Five can result in two very different outcomes. Depending on how you’ve acted, The Joker can either play the vigilante or villain, with very few recycled scenes between the two paths. Both are explosive send-offs for a series that has suffered from uneven pacing. The final episode of The Enemy Within is out on March 27 for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and mobile devices. I played on PC.
