Jack Ryder (Arkhamverse)

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Although not physically appearing in the game, Jack Ryder is mentioned as a television reporter in Batman: Arkham Asylum, and he can be heard giving a report on the situation on Arkham Island over a security guard's radio set in the Utility Corridor of the Intensive Treatment Center. Oddly, the radio also has "Jack Ryder" written on it, as though it were only capable of picking up Ryder's broadcasts. This radio is the solution to one of the Riddler's puzzles; solving it unlocks a Jack Ryder character bio. The Joker can also be heard calling out to him during the final boss fight.

The following is a script for the first broadcast from the Jack Ryder show as he covers the situation on Arkham Island. This message can be heard playing over the guard's radio in the Utility Corridor:
 * Newsman: "We apologize for this interruption to our regular broadcast. Jack Ryder is live from the Gotham Bay area with some breaking news."
 * Jack Ryder: "This is Jack Ryder with some breaking news in the Gotham Bay. We're getting reports of an armed siege on Arkham Island. Two minutes ago, the Joker broadcast to all news channels this chilling message:"
 * The Joker: "Greetings, Gotham. This is the voice of your new master! Oh, Hang on. Heh, Heh! I've skipped a bit. (Clears his throat) Joker here. I'm in control of Arkham Island and you can all consider it out of bounds! If I see any lawmen, vigilantes, or do-gooders in tights coming this way, I'll start detonating random bombs around the city. What'll it be? A kindergarten? A hospital? A billionaire's mansion? oh, choices, choices, choices."
 * Jack Ryder: "All access to the island has been restricted, air space is closed off, and early reports suggest that Batman himself is trapped on the island. We'll be live here, reporting on any developments. Back to the studio."
 * Newsman: "Thanks, Jack. More as it happens."

Batman: Arkham City
Jack appears in the sequel, after being incarcerated inside the revamped Arkham Asylum for trying to use his talent as an investigative reporter to look into Dr. Hugo Strange, Arkham's mysterious new director and for his involvment with Bruce Wayne's protest of Arkham City, as well as for his reporting on Bruce Wayne's protest, to which he grew irritated at Bruce Wayne for getting him arrested as well. While in Arkham City he is a direct target of Deadshot, who was contracted by Strange to kill him.

Trivia

 * While listening to a recording of Vicki Vale speaking with Quincy Sharp in an interview, it is revealed that the Creeper and Huntress are characters in the Arkham-verse, and are vigilantes of Gotham.
 * He doesn't appear to like Vicki, claiming the reason he wanted to get out of Akrham was to make sure Vicki didn't steal his spot as top reporter.
