Well he had the cartoon actor in the Rocksteady games, which the Origins team didn't use because they didn't seem to reuse a bunch of people, and then the cartoon VA died. Unless AC and AA had different VAs. It's been a while.

Aww he did? I knew Alfred (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) did not long ago... Didn't know ol' Cap Gordon did as well. ed: huh, and not even that long ago. That sucks.

Which cartoon? I'm pretty sure that wasn't the guy from TAS. And yeah, I think AA and AC had different VAs.

Hah. I like how the Penguins goons are a bit smarter than normal. Penguin offers $100,000 to whomever kills Batman and the guy on the radio with him says it was just $50,000. The best thing about beating up Penguin's shark is that it never tries to kill you after you beat Grundy, even if you fall into the water.  Also, those things that Grundy sends out aren't worms. They're giant maggots. Gross, I know. Timby posted:The only cartoon actors to do the Arkham games were Conroy, Hamill and Arleen Sorkin. There's also Tara Strong, though she played Batgirl in The New Batman Adventures, not Harley Quinn There were a few others in Origins, though I'll neglect to mention who those are until that LP starts.

That reminds me of something I've been wondering - is Gotham going to be redesigned in AK? Or will it actually feature most of the Arkham City area, with basically the same recognisable buildings and geography?

But does that mean a complete and total redesign? I remember hearing the same thing, but I thought they just needed to embiggen the streets. I hope that doesn't extend to them making the Arkham City area completely unrecognisable.

I kind of like that fact. In fact, I never want to see a complete, defined Gotham. The city should always be a nebulous thing with enough distinguishing features that we know it's Gotham, but still able to adapt to whatever story the writers are going with. Need a dockyard? Gotham's got one. It's also got high-rises, slums, zoos, parks, museums, science labs, cathedrals, warehouses, office buildings, preserved historical structures from the 1700s, subways, monorails, dirigibles, trainyards, etc. I love the fact that Gotham can be whatever kind of city the story needs.

Yeah, Gotham isn't streamlined or clean, that's Metropolis. Gotham is twisted and grotesque, with endless layers of the detritus of civilization built on top of one another. I could totally buy Wonder City being simply loving buried beneath other stuff over the years; like how Chicago is supposed to have an entire undercity, but Gotham actually would. It is every awful urban legend of every city in the world.

New York actually has an entire section of city underground, that's visible from a few of the old subway lines that run under the Lower East Side, and Chinatown. It's sorta crazy.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it in the thread, but it's a real cute reference that Poison Ivy is in a store called Baudelaire's. Les Fleurs du Mal, indeed.

After finishing Arkham Asylum, I moved on to Origins, and I have a question. Can anyone tell me where should I do the "Worst Nightmare" challenges? I'm not too far in the story yet, just doing the combat challenges (and stuck with the "20 critical counter" one).

Seeing the latest Arkham Knight Trailer featuring the Batmobile has me dreading the vehicle combat in that game. I like the idea of incorporating the Batmobile into the traversal and mobility but... loving tank mode? Come on...

So long as you're not railroaded into using tank mode too often, I won't mind. Using the Batmobile for traversal and gliding does look way more fun though.

I imagine it'll be part of the tutorial, plus a few forced segments, if only so Rocksteady can show it off. Probably a vehicular boss fight as well.

TVTropes posted:The hilarious thing about the trailer is how he's using the Batmobile to fight Scarecrow this time. In the first game he was sneaking away from a giant Scarecrow and killing skeletons, but it was just a hallucination and what he was really doing was running around in circles in the Asylum's hallways and beating the stuffing out of random thugs.

The Arkham Asylum comic was alright, as were the prequels to Arkham City that showed how Strange set up Arkham City and got the previous mayor out of office. I also found the Arkham Unhinged comics pretty neat, even though most of them would be hard-pressed to be fit into the timeline canonically. poptart_fairy posted:Which one was it where that snow villain got her tits out a lot and Deadshot had sex with Harlequin?

AoA basically had dick all to do with the Arkham games. I don't even know what it was meant to capitalize on coming out a year after Origins and several months before Knight. I guess Knight was delayed and perhaps they didn't plan for that?

I will admit that I did like how Deadshot was made "cooler", but that scene where he walks up to the Joker and says he's going to punch him in the throat was eye-rollingly action movie-esque for me.

Assault on Arkham had a fairly neat portrayal of Batman. He just showed up at random times in the middle of crimes, usually without saying anything. Did a good job of making it obvious why crooks are always afraid that Batman will show up. He can't be everywhere, but he knows about your crime and he will find you. Everything else was pretty bad.
