Between Under the Red Hood and those comic panels, I get the feeling Black Mask yells a lot because he's the only sane villain in Gotham. Also, there's a comicbook villain named Captain Nazi.

Apparently Captain Nazi is one of the older DC Comics supervillains (since 1941), so it makes sense for him to be trotted out for the "WTF?" effect.

He is too trigger happy for that. He murders all of his officers later on with a huge grin, explaining that he would have liked nothing better then to take all of his officers set them on fire and chuck them out of an airplane if he did not need them here. He is however smart and pragmatic and clearly has no faith in D list villains. NGDBSS posted:Apparently Captain Nazi is one of the older DC Comics supervillains (since 1941), so it makes sense for him to be trotted out for the "WTF?" effect. To be correct he was originally a Fawcett comics villain aka a Captain Marvel villain. He was also the one who disabled Freddy Freeman aka Captain Marvel Jr. (The only superhero that can't say his own name.) EDIT: Putting the Images on the new page     Count Vertigo was the 3rd villain on the way if you are curious. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 29, 2015 |

Now I'm incredibly curious where in the world you live TwoPair posted:DC did have a populace dumb enough to elect Lex loving Luthor president, so yeah, that's pretty accurate. To be fair, Luthor is a goddamn genius who could balance the U.S. budget with a formula on a napkin. Too bad that he's also a crook, but it's not like that's an impediment in most modern democracies  No, I'm not Anarky, why do you ask? Also,I don't think a guy who stole his appearance from the Red Skull gets to complain about a guy called Captain Nazi.

I know real world authorities have their share of corruption, complacency, and incompetence, but they don't actually allow private citizens to build massive concentration camps cum doom fortresses in the middle of major metropolitan areas. In the real world, they just keep imprisoning people on drug charges to keep them from voting and exploit them for cheap slave labor.

Chicago has a literal secret prison called Homan Square whose name is never written on any transfer documents, where suspects are taken to be beaten until they confess and denied counsel. This is not a joke.

Because he's one of the guys doing the beatings, duh! I know that cops and police forces all over do a very difficult job, but it seems like the norm is guys like Branden, and less like Jim Gordon.

He was a Captain Marvel villain (I refuse to call him Shazam, that is the WIZARD'S name!) and was pretty much representative of the 40's era of comics. Basically he was an SS officer who underwent a secret procedure that turned him into a Nazi version of Captain America, ended up put in suspended animation for 50 years along with Hitler when it was clear that the war wasn't going to end well for Germany. His mission was when he was revived to find and revive Hitler and recreate the Third Reich but (thankfully) Hitler's pod failed and did a bunch of villainous things. Yeah ok, I'm a Captain Marvel fanboy, deal.

It would certainly make for a more interesting game than this one. Actually it sounds like fun, now that you mention it.

Come to think of it, isn't Chicago the city that Gotham's most heavily based on? Was Arkham City a documentary?

Isn't there a bad guy called the Crime Doctor running around Gotham? Maybe he's the reason no-thugs seem to end up killed in these games (except by their bosses)

Manic_Misanthrope posted:Isn't there a bad guy called the Crime Doctor running around Gotham? Maybe he's the reason no-thugs seem to end up killed in these games (except by their bosses) Why yes! Yes there is. He's the brother of Gotham City crimelord Rupert Thorne. And he goes by a no-kill policy, since the Hippocratic oath still applies. He's a doctor, drat it!  A Swift Aside/PolsyOn a gameplay note, I won't be capturing all of the Anarky tags on video since watching me hunt down things in Detective mode would be boring as hell in the way I assume the Riddler Roundups are not. Instead, the second post has been updated with all of the Anarky tags. And the Pinkney tags, so I don't forget them later.

Huh. Funny enough, "Duende" is Spanish for Goblin (Green Goblin is called El Duende Verde in Spanish). They do use the correct one for Joker though, with "Payaso" being clown, but Bane sure as hell doesn't sound native when saying it. Penguin is, boringly, "pingüino". /edit: aaaaaaand of course, you mention it in the video. No more posting before watching for me.

Changing the bone structure of the user is one of the lesser crimes against science that the world of Batman (at least Arkhamverse Batman), and through it, Venom/Titan, commits. Seriously, it throws conservation of mass right out the goddamn window.

When Batman got Titaned in Arkham Asylum I was seriously hoping for a Titan Bats vs. Titan Joker throwdown. I was very disappointed when I didn't get to see Huge Monster Batfight.

Of all the sidequest villains to add to this game, I can't help but wonder why they'd waste a slot on Bird. He could've easily filled the role the Abramovich Twins did in the previous game. Also, this is a minor nitpick, but Bird in this game looks nothing like his comics counterpart. Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 06:50 on May 30, 2015 |

If they were going to feature Bird they should have also featured Bane's other two Henchmen, Trogg and Zombie.

About the snipers near the start of the second newest video, couldn't you have soniced them from the roof of the first sniper? Or is the cooldown on those instaKO batarangs too long to bother with for that?

I was, once again, ultra disappointed to see that the last Most Wanted was loving Bird. Bird?! Who is that? You're telling me Bane is one of the main villains in the game and somehow still also a sidequest? Come on. The snipers are very annoying as well.
