I guess Black Mask won't be doing anything important. In gadget news, apparently Batman left the REC and Shock Gloves with the cops. They're on display in the evidence room, with Aaron Cash saying he feels secure having some of Batman's gadgets there. Naturally, Batman breaks the display and takes the former back.

Goddammit. I was gonna wait, but this poo poo is so loving purchased.  Edit: haha on anyone who thought the Arkham Knight wasn't exactly who he ended up being, the very second he was announced. Edit 2: Someone said this was vintage Keaton Batman. Yeah. Keaton killed the poo poo out of a bunch of dudes in those movies as well. This dude is dead as gently caress right now.

They're the Batman the Animated Series-style dumb, where literally everything else falls into place so perfectly that the dumb doubles back into cool.

Yea watching that, gently caress it, I'm into this dumb plot. Taking his mask of to make a second mask to be The Red Hood is basically the only way this could have gone, which is to say dumb as all hell.

I think the only difference is that the animated series didn't have to be 8+ hours long, so naturally the games are going to have a lot of goofy poo poo in them.

Just finished the main storyline. The way they handled Joker stuff was really sweet. Arkham Knight stuff was pretty poorly written (cribbed), but it was just a supporting thread anyway.

To be honest, the whole draw of the Arkham Knight was who was under the mask, a plot that was raised and resolved in this game. I don't think he was ever going to be really major aside from that reveal. I don't remember if someone on this site said it, but I kind of wish the Arkham Knight's identity was unimportant. Much like Joker always says he doesn't care about who is under Batman's mask because that's not "the real him", the Arkham Knight could've been the same way. Sure, it wouldn't have been wholly satisfying, but I don't really think they could have satisfied with his identity to begin with. Either it really is a comic book character or it's some original character from the series. And there's no original character in this series who has been presented as able to fight Batman seeing as all of them are regular cops who get clowned by the villains or asylum doctors.

I'm avoiding spoilers for this game(even though we all know who Arkham Knight was from day one). But I am hoping there is something as cool as the Joker/Clayface thing in Arkham City. As blah as AC's story was, it was cool as hell when you replay it the second time and notice that The Joker has no bones during his boss fight when you switch to detective mode. I can handle a comic book story if it has something as well thought out as that.

So Rocksteady is moving on from Batman after this, right? Should we brace ourselves for yearly sequels from WB Montreal and whatever developer they grab for the even years?

Scarface as the antagonist with Wexler? as the ventriloquist. Penguin is boring. Bring in the mystical dummy.

I think if anyone could pull off a decent Superman game, it would be Rocksteady. They could come up with a new combat system based on Superman's powers that other devs will ape for years.

What I've heard and played of the Batmobile makes it seem less like it is actively bad and more like it is not as good as the rest of the game and is probably fine on its own merits.

how artificial feeling are the riddler challenges this time around? the whole idea of them is immersion breaking enough in asylum when they're in out of the way vents but the giant rooftop high tech chain link puzzle cages devoted to them in city really turned me off.
