'''''Batman: The Enemy Within''''' is an [[Episodic video game|episodic]] [[point-and-click]] [[Graphic adventure game|graphic adventure]] video game developed and published by [[Telltale Games]] and distributed by [[Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment]] under its [[DC Entertainment]] label, based on the [[DC Comics]] character [[Batman]]. The game is a sequel to 2016's ''[[Batman: The Telltale Series]]''. It received positive reviews, and is viewed as an improvement over the original, with the game's depiction of the Joker. 

Though Telltale Games shut down in 2018, the licenses for the ''Batman'' and ''The Enemy Within'' games were acquired by [[Athlon Games]], and both games were rereleased by LCG Entertainment under a new [[Telltale Games (2018–present)|Telltale Games label]] as the combined "Shadows Edition" in December 2019.

==Gameplay==
Like most Telltale games, the game features a similar episodic format found in other titles (such as ''[[Game of Thrones (2014 video game)|Game of Thrones]], [[The Walking Dead (video game series)|The Walking Dead]]'', ''[[The Wolf Among Us]]'' and ''[[Tales from the Borderlands]]''). The player controls Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman, with the game evenly split for both characters. The game features a branching narrative, similar to past Telltale games, giving the player options in approaching a situation and having that choice affect later events in the game. If the player had played the previous game, choices made, such as saving certain characters or stopping a criminal, may also be imported, though the game can be played as a standalone title. The game includes action sequences that are resolved similar to Telltale's other games, using quick time events. The series also includes investigation sequences, allowing the player to use Batman's detective skills to investigate areas. Sections of the game also present situations to the player where they may choose to approach as Bruce Wayne or as Batman. Crowd Play, a feature implemented in the predecessor, also returns for ''The Enemy Within'', allowing streamers to let their audience interact with their session with the game.

==Synopsis==
===Characters===
The player once again assumes control of [[Batman|Bruce Wayne / Batman]] ([[Troy Baker]]), a billionaire who secretly fights crime in [[Gotham City]]. His butler and former legal guardian [[Alfred Pennyworth]] ([[Enn Reitel]]), Police Commissioner [[James Gordon (comics)|James Gordon]] ([[Murphy Guyer]]), and Wayne Enterprises Chief of Technology [[Lucius Fox]] ([[Dave Fennoy]]) return to assist Batman in the field. The game introduces "[[Agency (comics)|The Agency]]", a mysterious government organization with its own agenda led by the ruthless [[Amanda Waller]] ([[Debra Wilson]]). New supporting characters are introduced, including Special Agent Iman Avesta ([[Emily O'Brien]]), one of the Agency's operatives and a fan of Batman, and Tiffany Fox ([[Valarie Rae Miller]]), the daughter of Lucius and an employee at Wayne Enterprises.

[[Joker (character)|"John Doe"]] ([[Anthony Ingruber]]) and [[Catwoman|Selina Kyle / Catwoman]] ([[Laura Bailey (voice actress)|Laura Bailey]]) also return, now members of a group of criminals called "the Pact". Other members of the group include [[Riddler]] ([[Robin Atkin Downes]]), [[Bane (comics)|Bane]] ([[JB Blanc]]), [[Mr. Freeze|Dr. Victor Fries / Mr. Freeze]] ([[Matthew Mercer]])  and [[Harley Quinn|Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn]] ([[Laura Post]]).

Detective [[Renee Montoya]] ([[Sumalee Montano]]), Reporter [[Creeper (comics)|Jack Ryder]] ([[Robert Clotworthy]]) and Wayne Enterprises Chairwoman Regina Zellerbach (Lorri Holt) return with smaller roles within the series. New minor characters introduced include Police Detective [[Harvey Bullock (comics)|Harvey Bullock]] ([[Keith Szarabajka]]), Agency operative Vernon Blake (Christian Lanz), international arms dealer Rumi Mori ([[Keone Young]]), Riddler's second-in-command Eli Knable (Alex Hernandez), and Stacked Deck patrons [[Tweedledum and Tweedledee (comics)|Frank Dumfree and Willy Deever]] ([[Kirk Thornton]] and [[Dave B. Mitchell]] respectively).

===Setting===
''The Enemy Within'' is set in the same Batman continuity introduced in ''[[Batman: The Telltale Series]]'', which took place a number of years into Batman's career. Like the previous installment, the game is set during the mid-to-late 2010s in Gotham City, primarily the Batcave, Wayne Enterprises and Gotham City Police Headquarters. The game also follows the events of the previous game, taking place between a couple of months to a year after these events.

===Plot===
A year after defeating the Children of Arkham, Bruce Wayne witnesses the return of the Riddler to Gotham while investigating arms dealer Rumi Mori. Batman, Commissioner Gordon, and the GCPD fail to capture Riddler, and the investigation is taken over by the mysterious Agency, led by Amanda Waller. Riddler leaves behind a puzzle box for Batman. When Lucius Fox investigates the puzzle at Bruce's request, he is killed by a homing missile summoned by a signal emitted from the device. At Lucius's funeral, Bruce reunites with Arkham patient John Doe, who offers to help Bruce track down Riddler if Bruce agrees to meet his friends, known as "the Pact". Following John's tip to Riddler's lair, Batman and Gordon deduce that Riddler is targeting Agency operatives with missiles he had purchased from Mori. Batman apprehends Riddler, who reveals he is also a member of the Pact, but Riddler is shot dead by an unknown person. Waller assumes control of Gotham law enforcement. With Riddler, her previous lead to the Pact, dead, she reveals she knows Batman's secret identity and blackmails him to infiltrate the Pact as Bruce.

After Batman fails to stop Bane from raiding a GCPD armory, Bruce establishes a friendship with John to infiltrate the Pact through him. Harley Quinn demands Bruce prove himself by stealing an electronic skeleton key from Wayne Enterprises. Bruce succeeds but arouses suspicion from Lucius's daughter Tiffany. After convincing fellow Pact members Bane and Mr. Freeze to trust him, Bruce accompanies them as they raid an Agency convoy and recover Riddler's preserved body. Catwoman, revealed to be a former associate of Riddler, helps Bruce and John uncover SANCTUS, a rogue faction of the Agency with which Riddler was formerly involved. From Riddler's laptop, the Pact tracks down their target: the hidden SANCTUS lab in Gotham. Tipped off by Tiffany, Gordon arrests Bruce for colluding with the Pact, but Waller intervenes and has Gordon dismissed. Just before their raid on SANCTUS, the Pact suspects a mole, and Bruce is forced to give up either himself or Catwoman as the traitor. Bruce, as himself or Batman, foils the raid, but Harley escapes with a sample of a biological weapon known as the Lotus virus.

From a captive Mr. Freeze, Bruce and Waller's aide Iman Avesta learn that the Lotus virus was a failed SANCTUS project, with Riddler the only survivor of its experiments. The Pact planned to use Riddler's blood to convert the virus into a healing serum and cure their various ailments, while Waller planned to use it to make them serve her. Avesta, suspicious of Waller, destroys Riddler's preserved blood. John reluctantly agrees to help track Harley, but when Bruce discovers him surrounded by agents he has killed, John claims he acted in self-defense, as well as reveals he knows Bruce is Batman, and the player must decide whether to trust him or arrest him. Depending on the choice made, John either helps bring in Harley or helps her escape.

Weeks later, John reemerges as the Joker, either a vigilante with a twisted sense of morality or a villain colluding with Harley to exact revenge on Bruce for "betraying" him. The former scenario follows Batman, Joker, and Avesta as they collaborate against the corrupt Agency, now in control of the Pact and Catwoman, until Joker, frustrated with Batman's non-lethal policy, kidnaps and attempts to kill Waller. The latter scenario has Harley distributing the Lotus virus across Gotham in an attempt to recreate the healing serum from another survivor's blood, while Joker pits Bruce against Gordon, Tiffany, Alfred, and Selina Kyle in cruel games of trust. In either setting, Bruce learns that Tiffany was the one who assassinated Riddler and eventually defeats Joker. Waller pulls the Agency out of Gotham and vows to protect Bruce's identity in gratitude. Alfred resigns from Bruce's employ, disillusioned by the effects Batman has had on Gotham, and Bruce either abandons his Batman identity or lets Alfred leave.

In the post-credits scene, Joker either plots his revenge against Bruce in Arkham Asylum or is visited by him there.

''Batman: The Enemy Within'' received generally positive reviews and is considered to be an improvement over its predecessor, earning praise for its story, choices, action sequences, and the portrayal of the Batman mythos.<ref>((cite web|title=Our Actions Have Consequences: We Review 'Batman: The Enemy Within'|url=https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/08/11/review-batman-enemy-within/|last=Sheehan|first=Gavin|work=[[Bleeding Cool]]|date=August 11, 2017|access-date=October 2, 2017))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Review: Batman - The Enemy Within: The Enigma|url=https://www.destructoid.com/review-batman-the-enemy-within-the-enigma-453382.phtml|last=Moyse|first=Chris|work=[[Destructoid]]|date=August 7, 2017|access-date=October 2, 2017))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series|url=https://www.gamespot.com/batman-the-enemy-within-the-telltale-series/|work=[[GameSpot]]))</ref> The game won the award for "Performance in a Drama, Supporting" with Debra Wilson at the 17th Annual National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards, whereas its other nomination was for "Game, Franchise Adventure".<ref>((cite web|title=Nominee List for 2017|url=http://navgtr.org/archives/3351/|work=National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers|date=February 9, 2018|access-date=February 17, 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180215172210/http://navgtr.org/archives/3351/|archive-date=February 15, 2018|url-status=dead))</ref><ref>((cite web|title=Horizon wins 7; Mario GOTY|url=http://navgtr.org/archives/3365/|work=National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers|date=March 13, 2018|access-date=March 14, 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20180314070824/http://navgtr.org/archives/3365/|archive-date=March 14, 2018|url-status=dead))</ref> Episode 5 was nominated for "Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing" at the [[Writers Guild of America Awards 2018]],<ref>((cite web|title=2019 Writers Guild Awards Screenplay and Videogame Writing Nominations Announced |url=https://www.wga.org/news-events/news/press/2019/writers-guild-awards-screenplay-and-videogame-writing-nominations-announced|work=[[Writers Guild of America West]]|date=January 7, 2019|access-date=January 11, 2019))</ref> while the game itself was again nominated at the 18th Annual National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards, this time for "Writing in a Drama".<ref>((cite web|title=Nominee List for 2018|url=http://navgtr.org/archives/3566/|work=National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers|date=February 11, 2019|access-date=February 20, 2019|archive-url=https://archive.today/20190213220549/http://navgtr.org/archives/3566/|archive-date=February 13, 2019|url-status=dead))</ref>

The game's portrayal of [[the Joker]] stood out for many reviewers, with the opportunity to prevent him from becoming a villain critically lauded. Scott Maslow from ''[[GQ]]'' said it managed to make "Batman's most overexposed villain interesting again; The Joker has always said his past is multiple-choice, but this is the first time I've felt like I was the one checking the boxes".<ref>[https://www.gq.com/story/batman-the-enemy-within Batman: The Enemy Within Finally Makes the Joker Interesting Again], ''GQ''</ref> Bradley Shankar from ''MobileSyrup'' gave a positive review, saying that "''Batman: The Enemy Within'' offers one of the greatest Joker stories ever told". He explained that "while there have been numerous great interpretations of the Batman-Joker relationship over the years, there has never been one quite as complex and morally grey as what Telltale has created with ''The Enemy Within''".<ref>[https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/04/01/telltale-batman-the-enemy-within-review/ Batman: The Enemy Within offers one of the greatest Joker stories ever told This Week in Gaming&], ''MobileSyrup''</ref> Tamoor Hussain from ''[[GameSpot]]'' gave the final episode a 9/10, concluding: "While Telltale's first Batman season stuck a bit too close to established mythos and delivered an underwhelming ending, the second is a memorable Joker origin story that Bat-fans should make a point of playing".<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/batman-the-enemy-within-episode-5-review-no-more-j/1900-6416886/ Batman: The Enemy Within Episode 5 Review - No More Joking Around], ''GameSpot''</ref> Stephanie Chan from ''VentureBeat'' was slightly less enthusiastic but still gave the game a score of 80/100: "By the end of the series, I'll say that ''Batman: The Enemy Within'' has tentatively won me over. That's purely on the strength of the relationship between Batman and The Joker".<ref>[https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/26/batman-the-enemy-within-episode-five-review-the-joker-gets-the-last-laugh/ Batman: The Enemy Within Episode Five review — The Joker gets the last laugh], ''VentureBeat''</ref>

==Recall==
The second episode of the game has been recalled and edited, after it was discovered that a photograph was used of the dead body of murdered Russian ambassador [[Andrei Karlov]].<ref>((cite web |last=Phillips |first=Tom |title=Telltale's Batman uses photo of assassinated Russian ambassador |url= https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-06-telltales-batman-uses-photo-of-assassinated-russian-ambassador |date=8 October 2017 |publisher=EuroGamer.net |access-date=17 February 2022))</ref>
