That's why I'm said. It would have fit so well.  Man, I loved that film I don't care how many toes I step on. It was camp, memorable and had fantastic design going on for it. Even Arnie got his poo poo together and some dark moments in a role you could tell he was enjoying enormously. I can't bring myself to hate a film where everyone has so much fun.

Batman Year One, Long Halloween, and Dark Victory are basically your "primary" batman texts. They're not necessarily the best, but they're one hell of an intro and form a nice almost-trilogy. I asked this earlier but has anyone read any of the batman beyond comics? I'm a huge fan of the animated DC universe and I remember the Batman animated series comics being really goddamn great too. There's a particularly fun series that is basically a continuation of the New Batman adventures that really did interesting things with the status quo. Although the animated series definitely lessened as the arkham games continued, Arkham Asylum in particular really feels like the animated series minus any censorship or age audience consideration

Regarding mook conversations, there's one where two thugs talk about how their "better halves" just don't appreciate the criminal life, and the second one casually refers to his as a ”he”. Thought that was a neat little humanizing thing to have. I don't think a good Superman game is as impossible as most seem to. The Arkham games have made plenty of videogamey concessions, so why not put Supes on a planet with no yellow sun or something?

Thought that was a neat little humanizing thing to have. Because then why even make a Superman game? These games don't remove everything that makes Batman Batman like taking away all of Superman's powers would do for him. If you want him less powerful, the obvious solution is to have it be a year one type thing, where he starts out with the powers of Golden Age Superman (no flight, not invincible, etc.) and as you progress and level up in the game you get more and more powerful. Or you just find a way to make the powers work.

I have all the new consoles, but pre-ordered on PC and didn't get any bugs bad enough to make me get a refund/stop playing. I'm more just pissed that other people can't play it, and that now consoles are getting DLC rolling out and us PC folks don't even have a complete loving game yet.

poptart_fairy posted:I'll rummage and have a look at those then, thanks guys. If you like the villains more than you should check out Brian Azarello's Joker graphic novel, Ed Brubaker's Man Who Laughs, Matt Wagner's Faces, and maybe one of the old collections of Joker stories so you can read Joker's 5-way Revenge and The Laughing Fish and some others like that. And the aforementioned Long Halloween which is a drat good Two-Face origin. Arkham Asylum: Living Hell was also mentioned, which you'd probably like too, Batman's barely in that. It's mostly villains, inmates and asylum staff.

They're more or less non-cannon collections of stories, just myths and legends about Batman. They're mostly Bat-narrated, but every once in a while you get a good one where he's just a third party acting in the story.

The game teases Bludhaven hard. I can't believe we're going to get THIS close to a free roaming section in bludhaven and then not have it happen. The police station in the harley quinn dlc is super generic

There's a pretty great one in which it turns out that Barbara has had PTSD from Scarecrow's fear toxin ever since Over the Edge. It leads to a really great Terry moment when she relapses during a case.

Wait, where is this? This is one of the few Easter eggs I've seen posted that I didn't already see in the game. Batgirl DLC Thoughts: I want to know which Robin it is badly. All 3 of them could make for equally great stories. I don't think Tim makes any sense though. I'm overjoyed to hear there will be sidequests, collectibles, and even more Easter eggs. More Dual Play is welcomed since that's easily the best part of Knight. Big thumbs down to Joker. Yes I know that Joker has gotta be involved since that's the only place most writers care to go with Barbara. Yes The Joker is a great villain. I don't care though, I'm burned out on him in the Arkham series.

Haha Batman, you beat all of my batmobile challenges and freed Catwoman! I will now bust out of a door like the Kool-Aid man with my giant loving robot in a tremendous show of force of what will surely be a pretty cool tag-team boss fight! Oh wait, never mind, come back later. I did like how he got more and more furious at you beating that final race track, to the point he takes control away from you and is still losing his poo poo over you winning.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Why does DC hate her and Stephanie Brown anyway? They really don't. It's just a case that DC editorial right now is controlled by guys like Geoff Johns who made REALLY strong pushes to reverting characters back to the guys and gals who they were when they were growing up reading comics. It is why characters have either been completely sidelined or 'reinvented' and then basically ignored like Wally West and Tim Drake.

I think most of the good comics were mentioned already, I really enjoyed Death of the Family, can't get my friend to read it though because he hates Joker's "faceless" design. If you want to follow up on Jason Todd stuff there's A Death in the Family and Under the Red Hood, although the ending of that gets comic book crazy as gently caress, animated film did it better, I think the current story line went with that retcon too. Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is good too, but the art is divisive as all get out in my experience, lot of influence on the first game obviously. Anyway my friend has determined that the big super kick move after you do the super cape stun seems to screw with the thug skeletons and warp them more than most things. He posted this earlier on Facebook:

Falling off something because you are trying to platform in a loving car and having to reset every switch/level on the way back up and do them all over again is starting to piss me off.

I finally got all of the Militia poo poo done. There was this checkpoint that I think I did "wrong". There's two guys surrounded by six of the big, non-destructible turrets. I disrupted three of them to self-destruct and blinded a fourth one. I lured the enemies behind said turret and used it as very rudimentary cover against the still active turrets. Is that how it's supposed to be done?

I wish the Batmobile platforming segments were like Dark Souls, where they drop a ladder (winch point) or something at the end of a platforming segment that loops back around so that you don't fuckin' have to do it again if you mess up.

Disrupted 4 and lured the guys over to where the other turrets couldn't get me, then took them out and destroyed the commander's thing so I could bring in the car for the rest.

Speaking of "irregular strategies", I did a lot of the towers with swoop-and-bail maneuvers. I took the "Hold R2 to KO" upgrade and dive-bombed dudes, grappled away, and came back into the melee at another guy, repeat until only the big guys were left on top of the tower. While maybe slower, it was way more effective for not dying due to a bad counter or two.
