Every time you throw a guy from the rooftop, Alfred calls you on your gauntlet-phone and says something to the effect of "Master Bruce, it was surely a wonderful idea to have every paved surface of Gotham lined with automatic airbags! Now, no matter how high up people fall from, they never die! It's GENIUS!"

I always liked how in Asylum and City, Batman's ledge-takedown automatically puts a tether on the guys' legs so they don't fall to their death, they just flail helplessly.

The next two Arkham games need to be the following: Arkham Beyond, wherein you get to be Terry McGuinness. Jet around in the Bat-car, punch dudes while using your rocket boots, have fun puzzle fights with Inque, and maybe have the Riddler be an insane AI, or some left over remnant of the Riddler's riddles, having placed SO MANY that even the Riddler forgot about them. Maybe have a few other characters floating around as old folks. Bruce in your ear and even Ace the bat hound helping out. And Arham 66, where you get to have ridiculous, nonserious plots, and the violence of the Arkham games is concealed behind countless WAM! BIFF! and POWS!

I still reckon replacing the Riddler challenges with Bat-training for an Arkham Beyond game would work. Instead of Riddler taunting and getting mad you have Bruce being supportive of you perfecting your skills in a gruff, stoic way. Then when you get the 100% completion for them you get him saying you are truly a good Batman and he has no challenges left for you to complete. Heck use Barbara or Tim or Dick instead and it'd still work.

Maybe even have a set up for a million billion riddler challenges and then it turns out they're like forty years old and they've all fallen apart. It'd make a nice difference too, since there's usually different kinds of Riddler challenges you could mix them in with the AR challenges and put them all under the guise of training, with different ones coming from Barbara, some from Bruce, and some from Dick and/or Tim. Ditto even some challenge rooms. Maybe Robin challenges involving skill and dexterity, Barbara's involving thinking detectiving, Bat Challenges involving anything and everything, or maybe being the equivalent of the big milestone challenges.

It could even be a similar thing to the Joker in Return of the Joker - Riddler, now elderly, notices a new bat in town, realises it's not the original but some kid pretending and decides to test his intellect, to make sure he's good enough, that he 'deserves' to have the Great Edward Nigma as his archnemesis.

Anything that gets us more Riddler is a good plan in my estimation.

For some reason when I got to "Arkham 66" my brain leaped to a new game that would be a riff on the old "Route 66" TV show, with Batman basically wandering the backroads of the southwest in the Batmobile, occasionally solving crimes and looking real cool. Of course.

I might get some hate for this, but I really liked Jim Carrey as the Riddler. The assault on Wayne manor was a fun sequence and his riddles were actually fairly reasonable as they were presented. He just seemed like he had a lot of fun in the role, too, which really make it likable. "Joygasm" was a little much, but if you make him more The Number 23 Carrey and you'd have a good starting point for the newest run of Batman movies. Still, I think Michael C Hall would be a great choice of casting. I liked the old fanmade posters and theorizing that happened when TDKR was announced. There was a great idea of having him be an FBI profiler brought into determine the identity of Batman that was particularly good.

The only problem with Jim Carrey's Riddler was that the script didn't know what to do with him. First, he's angry at Bruce Wayne for not funding his brain box thing. Okay. Following that, he starts sending Bruce Wayne riddles... before he becomes the Riddler. To what end? Ehhh. Then, he decides to become the Riddler for seemingly no reason because he wants to help Two-Face learn Batman's identity out of nowhere. Then, he starts growing his own company, Nygmatech, likely as a means of rubbing his success in Bruce Wayne's face. That's fine. He also uses the box on Bruce to learn that he's Batman. At this point, he invades Wayne Manor with Two-Face and partially blows up the Batcave. Two-Face prepares to kill Bruce, but Riddler is like "No, wait, he needs to solve this last riddle." At this point, he leaves the last riddle which lets Bruce know that Nygma is the Riddler... which would probably mean something if he actually confronted the Riddler at any point in the film prior to this. And this whole final riddle only has any pay-off because Bruce Wayne and Batman just coincidentally happened to be the same person. Not to mention Riddler's final deathtrap being designed to prove whether Bruce Wayne and Batman can coexist by kidnapping his love interest and Robin. Which doesn't even make sense, because Dick only became Robin about 15 minutes ago.

On the other hand, the riddler and two face passing the brain sucker 2000 back and forth while giggling like a couple of teenagers with a bong was hilarious.

While Batman Forever may have been a nonsensical and kinda bad movie it at least was a fun nonsensical and kinda bad movie, and in my book that excuses a lot.

Hey Scruffy? Looks like we really are Returning to Arkham. Don't worry, its just a PS4 upgrade for the original AA and Arkham City. They aren't that dumb, yet. Crabtree fucked around with this message at 21:22 on May 18, 2016 |

Doesn't AA have issues with GFWL? Also if they're reasonably priced and are focused on being smoother mechanical upgrades and maybe feature some inclusion of new poo poo it might actually be good.

GFWL never went under, it's still active. Some miscommunication somewhere made everyone think Microsoft was shutting it down, which was a good thing because it got a bunch of devs to patch it out of their games. Or maybe Microsoft really was planning to shut it down but changed their minds, same difference really.

I actually kinda wondered where those came from -- I was operating under the assumption that I had picked them up in some bundle at some point and just wasn't paying attention. Anyway, I appreciate that they did that because now I get to play the Arkham City DLCs this time around. I also get to earn all my achievements again. I'm a sucker like that.

I could never get GFWL to work on my PC anyway. I missed the heyday of Dark Souls 1 because my game couldn't be saved and the online component wouldn't work.

Is the Remastered one supposed to look worse? I mean, its not just me right? Too much color, blurry background textures, next to no shadows. It just looks so much worse in every way. Edit: Unless this is some kind of joke video that switched the images.

I was just thinking that! Just look at this one.  Somehow they managed to make Hugo's skin look all greasy and clay-like, his eyebrows and beard are way worse and don't react to the light at all, the texture on his lab coat looks like nylon, and you lose the awesome reflection of Bruce's face in his glasses! What on earth. Edit: It's not a joke where they swapped the images either: Here's this scene from Scruffy's LP of Arkham City. It's definitely the better-looking Hugo from the right.
