It's a [substitution cipher][1]: A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26. Decoded, it reads *(station 675-525)*: >! I WILL RETURN BATMAN --- There are also two other messages that you do no get until later in the game. One of them is *(station 500-900)*: > 5 15 9 7 21 18 18 14 3 5 24 15 12 7 22 3 10 5 15 9 22 3 8 25 26 15 16 25 10 15 17 25 This one is still a mono-alphabetic substitution cipher, but with a slightly different code: A=3, B=2, C=1, D=26, E=25, ..., Y=5, Z=4. When finally decoded, it reads >! YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME --- The last one is *(station 200-500 - you have to beat the game first??)* > 3 20 26 18 26 16 24 1 11 4 24 9 3 8 5 2 12 18 6 16 7 11 3 10 17 5 13 4 21 8 Unfortunately, this one doesn't seem to be a mono-alphabetic substitution cipher - no matter what substitutions we use, we get gibberish: > CTZRZPXAKDXICHEBLRFPGKCJQEMDUH There are rumors circulating (originating, it appears, with IGN) that when decoded, this reads *"I am your darkest nightmare dark night. Gotham city waits for his savior."* However, this is clearly wrong - there are way too many letters! Fortunately, not too long ago [one of the super-sleuths on Batman: Arkham City forums decoded it][3]: >! If you treat it as a [Vigenère cipher][4] using the key SCARECROW, the message comes out to: >! FEAR WILL TEAR GOTHAM CITY TO SHREDS >! Therefore, it is pretty obvious **the messages are being sent by Scarecrow**.
