Definitely a better cover than the American version of Vol 2, but that image was a still in the last issue of the arc and not an official cover image. Anyway I'm sure at least Carrie will make a comeback when Damian returns to life. She was tutoring him and was never informed of the "oh he died" deal for security reasons, so she'll just be a supporting character akin to Colin in Streets of Gotham.

Wait. What the hell is this? I completely ignored Forever Evil, so I missed that DC junked an entire, already drawn issue. The Action Man fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Dec 2, 2014 |

I asked in the digital comics thread but it might be better to ask her. Are the post Williams Batwoman issues worth picking up in the DC sale?

They're going to do Flash variants in January and Harley Quinn in February so it wasn't just a one-time thing for Batman. In 2013 they had villain month and they also had Mad Magazine month.

Man, this month Grayson was fantastic. Gotham Academy has lost me and Eternal keeps being boring. Detective was solid and I'm intrigued about Anarky, so far it seems faithful (if more violent) to Grant's original take. Here's hoping we get Lonnie under the mask.

I'd bet a limb that Anarky is (a darker!edgier!) Annie from the last arc. It seems to be the status quo that pre-Nu52 villains are introduced with original characters at the helm. The Ventriloquist, for example (ugh). Plus I find it too convenient that they were telling Newsarama that she'd be back and "different" in an interview about reintroducing Anarky. ---- Was anybody else put off by Lucius betraying Bruce in this week's Eternal? Man, that's like having Alfred turn against him and go evil. You just don't do it.

But didn't Fox warn him ahead of time? I gathered that it wasn't really voluntary, just him trying to limit collateral damage from an operation that was going to happen no matter what.

Oh good, a lull in the thread. So, since all the big Batman fans are all around here I'm guessing that most of you have played the Arkham series. If you could have some say in it, would you have preferred the Joker to not have been the villain every time? For me personally, my biggest gripe with Origins that wasn't bugs was that for assassins sent to hunt the Batman they sure don't seem to be doing a good job at finding him. But then again those and the Batman Begins game on the first Xbox were my only exposure to Batman games at all so I might just not be as sick of the Joker as you guys may have become. Or I could totally be wrong and that's just the internet making it seem like it's more prevalent than it actually is.

Honestly I didn't find City's story that interesting so I didn't have an issue with the Joker's on Origins.

Saved me the trouble of playing through the whole game under a false assumption and getting exasperated by a cheap endgame reveal. The reveal is still cheap mind you, but hey at least they didn't lead us on for too long and I can thank them for that much.

Origin is a generic copy of Asylum/City so it makes sense that it's usage of characters/story would also be. At least Arkham Knight is using totally not Hush this time instead of Joker.

For me the Joker being in the first two games was not an issue because it was fun seeing Hamill coming back to the role. I could see why people would be upset over the prequel featuring him too, but who honestly cares about Black Mask anyway though? I had more issues with its gameplay mechanics though. The combat system is one thing I wish they made more complicated, as the current set up leads it to become repetitive quickly. Boss Fights are also pretty garbage (I haven't played Arkham Origins so I don't know if that's the case too) as the only fight I remembered changing the formula of rolling at the last second from the big scary guy with glowing body parts was Mr. Freeze with constantly changing strategies to taking him down. The sandbox in Arkham City gave me a-lot of problems because it lacks the appeal that other sandbox games have which is being set in a city with actual people walking around. Also the Catwoman segments were trash.

On the one hand Origins was the point in Batman's career where the gangsters were replaced by the supervillains so it's clever for that to literally be the plot. On the other hand it's yet another Joker story at a point when the series really needed to have something different.

lotus circle posted:I would have preferred him not being the main villain in Origins. Of course the fact that he would be in game was no secret, it was announced fairly early on, but I would have like to see him as a background villain. Not the mastermind but just the guy who makes things a little harder and watches the chaos unfold. Like if he were just to give a little extra support to some of the assassins, just to see if Batman could get out of one mess to the next. Especially after City made such a huge deal of killing him off and made it work because it was his own drat fault, which I think is the best way to go for a villain like him. I think I see what you're going for here. You'd rather that the Joker was just a general problem only a few steps above a nuisance in the city making things dangerous but not the main villain. Stuff like chattering teeth bombs or something else comical that'd warrant a Crime in Progress alert right? goldenoreos posted:For me the Joker being in the first two games was not an issue because it was fun seeing Hamill coming back to the role. I could see why people would be upset over the prequel featuring him too, but who honestly cares about Black Mask anyway though? Oh no, I wasn't saying anything negative about the other games. Or Joker's involvement in them. It made sense for the first two, after all. My main gripes in order of series were: 1 Man, I wish I could counter people while doing a ground takedown. 2: Man I wish I could throw people, counter while doing a ground takedown and that they'd used the same sound effects for punches from the last game. I also wish thugs would actually fall off of buildings. We know, Batman doesn't kill, afterwards if we use Detective Mode they'll all just be unconscious. 3: Wow, why is this game so buggy? It would've been really cool if the assassins were actively hunting you like the story made them out to be. Why do I have to go through all these armor upgrades to get all the good stuff? I dunno what the general opinion is here but I really enjoyed the Brave and the Bold cartoon because it wasn't taking itself too seriously and GASP crimes committed during the day! Not to mention all the team ups as well. I'd be down for a game like that. Partially because the combos can be as insane as you want depending on what you're fighting whether they're people or magic flame things or gorillas [anything from a belt sword to brass knuckles is free game!] you could have basically anyone join in to help stop crimes too which could mean an insane amount of characters to play as, yadda yadda yadda. Of course, I'm sure that's probably the Lego Batman games though.  And yeah, Catwoman was kinda a shame. A shame that Gotham winter with Mr. Freeze making it even colder still wasn't a enough reason to justify her zipping up. [come on writers, you can do better than this!  ] Or Harley to have at least a big fur overcoat while leaving places. Y'know, something at least?! But when I was first playing the game I was just annoyed by her lack of gadgets. And theif vision being so terrible.

If I'd had my druthers, Joker's involvement in Origins would have been pretty much just a mission where you break up a Red Hood robbery and cause him to get dropped into the chemicals and then some kind of tease for him at the end of the game. That being said, between the crime scene investigation where you first find out about Joker, the surreal Red Hood mission, and Troy Baker doing a heck of a job, I can't complain too much about it. EDIT - RareAcumen posted:And yeah, Catwoman was kinda a shame. A shame that Gotham winter with Mr. Freeze making it even colder still wasn't a enough reason to justify her zipping up. [come on writers, you can do better than this! I thought it would have been terrific if you could, say, click the right toggle stick to choose whether Selina has her outfit zipped up or down. You could use the same mechanic to have Batman wrap his cape around himself. It's always kind of stuck in my craw that we can't get Batman doing this kind of thing in the games.
