It's a plot-o-magig and the batmobile has room for like 80 of those. Lucius Fox knows what genre he lives in.

It was a power cell. The Nimbus is a different power cell that also doesn't get shorted by fear gas.

Nimbus cells are some clean energy battery Stagg thought up and is apparently using to power his zeppelins.

Maybe Lucius figures that that's the future of energy and modded the batmobile accordingly. The man is dedicated to his hobby.

It was a Bat-Aux Cord Jack, and that's why there's no custom music in the Batmobile.

I thought the ps4 patch was to fix the leaderboards. Mine are still not working. :( I spent a lot of time playing the combat maps today anyway, I added a lot to every score but Azrael. I'm having trouble topping that 230x combo I managed to rack up on my second attempt.

I like how one of the whiteboards in GCPD has shifts listed for Reneé Montoya, Harvey Bullock, and John Jones. I'm glad this thread told me to go back to GCPD periodically. It's cool seeing all the little changes.

Shame we didn't get Bullock to show up in the game. He was in Origins with his VA from the Animated Series, which was great hearing his voice again.

I can't remember if it was The Dark Knight or Dark Knight Rises where Gordon expects to talk to Batman and physically jumps when he turns around and the motherfucker's just standing right there not even a yard away, as if he'd straight-up just read Gordon's thoughts. Commissioner Gordon having the poo poo scared out of him by Batman is my favorite thing about the guy :allears:

There's this one time when Azrael becomes Batman where Gordon's in the middle of a conversation with him, turns around for a moment, and then looks back up to see that Batman is still there.

It scares the poo poo out of him just as badly.

Oh, that one. You don't need to hit them all at once, you justn eed to have hit each one once while it was flashing. Even if you had the multi batarang, it wouldn't help.

This is the one about Staggs airship, standing in one and hitting the side of the other, right?

Easiest way is to use the remote conteolled batarang, brake as you're flying over there, then when the 5th one lights up open the throttle.
That was exactly the one, thanks.

How the hell do I get the Riddler trophy at Osamu Tower on Bleaker island?

There's some numbers at the top, but I can't figure out what to do. The elevators at the bottom don't work.

Yup. Also the Assault on Arkham movie was weirdly good for being loosely based off of a Nu 52 thing. It was also the last good animated movie DC has made.

It was good, but it made a lot of weird decisions. Like the one about making Deadshot a sort of proto-batman in how overly awesome he was or Batman just deliberately letting a bunch of police die to figure out what the gang's plan was when he dressed up as one of them . He's Batman, shouldn't he be able to avert some of that?

It's not the New 52 anymore, they finally dropped that branding. Probably when they realized it was five years old and they no longer have 52 books, so literally neither part of the branding was true. It's now DCYou, which is really dumb, but whatever.

And this poo poo is actually super refreshing after the last five years. Not only are they getting away from the "everything is going to be exactly as it was when the writers were kids! our target audience is 45 year old men!" bullshit, but also totally ditched the stuff like every books art having to conform to their house style. So there's wacky poo poo like Gordon with a mohawk as Batman in a giant robot suit, and Superman, after losing most of his powers and having his identity revealed, driving across country on a motorcycle in a Superman t-shirt and jeans.

There are two different ideas I enjoy in super hero comics:

1. Uniformity where the status quo pretty much never changes, because it provides consistency while still leaving room for character development

2. Crazy insane poo poo that makes you cock your head and go "wuuhh?", because the result is almost always an awesome departure from 1

They should be map coordinates that lead you to a winch point you charge up, and then have to race back across the city under the time limit to get the trophy. The winch thing isn't usually at those coords exactly, but should be viewable from them.

I feel like if they had waited on the Endgame stuff, and done Batman Eternal as a monthly thing in the main books instead of a special weekly thing, it would have been paced way better than it ended up being.

I think it's a winch only once, usually it's a standing switch.
