The family of a low-level thug injured in the notorious Arkham City prison have spoken out, after he was left with long-term, serious injuries by the World’s Greatest Detective during an uprising that occurred in the prison.

A non-violent offender, Kevin Marshall had been arrested and charged after being caught seeding torrents of Nickelback’s 2005 ‘All the Right Reasons’ album and sentenced to five-years in Blackgate Penitentiary.

Marshall was 3 years into his sentence when he was moved into Arkham City after Mayor Quincy Sharp deemed Blackgate inadequate to contain the city’s convicts.

After a month of struggling to survive in the harsh conditions and brutal gang violence in the prison, Marshall was coerced into joining the Joker’s gang.

It was during this time that Marshall was seriously injured by the Caped Crusader while standing guard in the Ace Chemicals factory.

A prison insider familiar with the incident said that Marshall had taken the full brunt of a shockwave from the Dark Knight’s Explosive Gel, which then knocked him over a ledge and onto the pavement one floor below.

“Batman is completely to blame for Kev’s current state,” the source said. “You’re telling me that Batman didn’t consider detonating an explosive device at head height next to a ledge a potentially lethal move?”

“I mean, there’s no way the handrail on that walkway was up to code, so why would you risk someone falling towards it?” he continued. “It’s a sad day for Gotham City and society when you can’t get basic OSHA at a supervillain’s lair in a mega city-prison overrun by bloodthirsty thugs and maniacs.”

The family of the man have spoken out, saying that Batman’s ‘No Killing’ rule is useless if it doesn’t also extend to injuries that leave their victims in a permanent vegetative state.

“We condemn the actions of the Batman in Arkham City and the innocent people he victimized,” a family member of Mr. Marshall said at a press conference outside Gotham General Hospital. “Batman needs to remember that the injuries he inflicts as part of his illegal crusade of vigilante justice can and does have lasting and permanent impacts on the family and communities of these people he is brutalizing.”

“The human body was not designed to take 14 to 15 straight punches to the head in rapid session,” the family member added.

The family closed the press conference by thanking The Wayne Foundation for the generous financial support they had provided towards Mr Marshall’s medical care.

The family declined to comment on reports by the GCPD that the automatic rifle found along side Mr. Marshall had been recently fired, and that gunshot residue had been detected on his clothing and hands.
