cram me sideways posted:If you automatically assume that, when someone dies on screen, that they are not actually dead, then what's the point of pretending that they die at all? What real effect does their death have? yeah you can beat both of those sections easily if you're not just trying to eat the controller or whatever you were doing that gave you trouble on those sections I just don't know why you'd complain about the combat and stealth in a game series that's been about all combat and stealth since 2009

I didn't notice Joker move the gun towards Oracle, and I also kinda wish they stuck to their guns and just kept her dead.  It's also really loving weird how at the end, Alfred is apparently totally OK with Bruce blowing both of them up. Like no questions asked, just an "as you wish, sir" and that's that. I'm sure there are fan theories as to what actually happened there, but that is what happened.

So... I beat the game with all of the side missions finished, minus the Riddler stuff, but I haven't gained access to the "incomplete" ending involving the bat signal. How do I go about getting that mission Edit: it says apprehend one more of Gotham's most wanted to enable the protocol. I've apprehended every single side mission villain.

I had Riddler (and I think the mines?) unfinished when I saw the incomplete protocol. You should be able to see a Knightfall progress bar on the left side when you bring up the mission menu.

Aquasnake posted:To be fair, at least in my game, sometimes he doesn't have anything better to do. I regularly chase down regular cars and hop out to fight random goons that bad mouth me. Except the ones that went 4 games without seeing me. I still haven't gotten over the novelty of Bats punching through a windshield and tossing the driver aside like he was tossing out garbage. I always spent a lot of time picking fights with people who badmouth me and doing car takedowns, but even more now that they're talking about robbing Wayne Manor and such NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Or you can just call in the Batmobile and smash it into them. Figured this out as a last resort when I couldn't find the nearby electricity arc for one of the thugs and had no expectation that it would actually work. Never thought to use the REC. Holy poo poo. I eventually thought of the REC, but I never considered the Batmobile.

So is it known that Oracle was Batgirl, or is it something that only the Batfamily are aware of, with Gordon believing her paralysis was the result of a "random" attack from the Joker?

Please tell me the Riddler has special dialogue for using the Batmobile in that way. It seems so...thuggish. Rirse posted:Nobody else knew, not even Joker. She was just shot because she was Gordon's daughter. OK cool. I figured Joker didn't know given he finds it hilarious how he accidentally "took out the Bats' IT department" in that flashback but my knowledge of comic lore is pretty shakey.

Joker shoots Barb in order to drive Gordon insane and show that "one bad day" can break anyone. The Killing Joke by Alan Moore, in which this all occurs, is one of the best Batman comics ever.

I guess I should get off my butt and try to read the drat thing at last then. Batman's always been something from the movies, not comics, as far as I've been concerned. Bit of a backwards way to do things but there you go.

Bit of a backwards way to do things but there you go. There's a pretty solid, basic reading list that anyone interested in Batman should read: -Year One -The Dark Knight Returns - The Killing Joke - The Long Halloween - Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? Your mileage may vary with some of those (it did for me), but they're all very pure and focused statements on the character in their own ways. If you like these, there's plenty more worth reading, but these are the books I would lend to anyone who likes Batman either from movies, these games, or both. And if you've never watched Batman: The Animated Series, that is absolutely required viewing. For people in their 20s and 30s, it is the definitive Batman for a reason. Some of the best writing, performances, art direction, and music in an animated series and, arguably, TV in general. The whole series is still up on Amazon Prime, as far as I know.

I'll rummage and have a look at those then, thanks guys. I guess I never really got into the Batman comics because to me the villains and "normals" have always been far more interesting than the Bat himself - I was a big fan of Gotham Central and absolutely devoured it as a kid. Something about the mythos just seemed far more exciting when villains were big and scary things, with Batman swooping in to do his stuff angrily before flying off again. Maybe I don't have a head for nuanced morality.

I just read court of owls, and it was good. No man's land is fantastic and was the first story that I've read that really takes advantage of the whole bat family. It also introduced Cassandra Cain, who was a fantastic batwoman

Knightfall is probably the most extensive destruction of Batman as a character and the rebuild is fascinating.

The whole series is still up on Amazon Prime, as far as I know. Strange Apparitions is much much older than most of than the rest of the list, it was one of the best '70s Batman stories as they started to pivot away from the Silver Age silliness, in favor of a more gritty story telling that Miller would ultimately epitomize. I also mention it, because B:TAS lifted a few episodes from the story arc. Including Joker Fish. Which does not feature Captain Clown.

People were confused a couple pages back about hanging from copters. You can do it when nvidia spotlights are off, you can't when they're on. I learned this when I accidentally happened to turn them on while hanging from a copter and the game just kicked me off.
