Shocked I tell you

I'm not surprised they made Deadshot black even if this is supposed to be staunchly in the Arkham universe, way more people are gonna associate him with Will Smith than his brief appearances in previous games. Plus wasn't he Black in the Assault on Arkham cartoon movie?

Nope. I think Suicide Squad is the only place he has been black in.

Personally I would have just used Bronze Tiger if they wanted a black guy on the team. As Bronze Tiger is awesome. Not a big fan of changing characters race myself.

It's loving Deadshot, no one gives a poo poo. Plus they probably wanted a sniper character and I'm not super familiar with Bronze Tiger, but isn't his thing claws or knife hands or something?

What's on your mind, Axa?
Are there any upcoming superhero games that look good? Because after this showing, Suicide Squad being a GAAS, and Avengers not only doing the same thing but sounding pretty mediocre at best, it looks pretty bleak right now. Come on, Valiant, give us that Ninjak game we've all been waiting for!

I'm more than willing to wait the extra time for a Rocksteady DC game that looks like a take on Borderlands with Samoa Joe as King Shark than a really underwhelming looking WB Montreal game that's going to have enemy level progression and costume crafting.

Let Montreal make the first steps and stumbles with the new consoles.

Also Gotham Knights should just be a Richard focused story in having him become DickBats. :colbert:

Gotham Knights really looked like an Arkham Knight sequel up until it was mentioned Jim was dead. I guess they made it close enough to attract the Arkham crowd.

I hesitate to mention it, but the thing that has me most excited about Gotham Knight is no Joker so far.

You know there will be a trailer with his big, dumb grinning face on it at some point.

It looks like there's a Batman Beyond esque Joker gang thing happening in the trailer, so I'm hoping he's dead too.

Finished the Arkham Knight main story:
I actually liked how it wasn't a standard boss fight with Scarecrow and instead some kinda mindfuckery where you banish the Joker from your thoughts forever.

I am like 90% sure that it began as an Arkham Knight sequel and then they decided they could monetize it better by making it its own thing. It's way too close otherwise to really make sense.

Tiger is one of the best martial artists in the world, he also uses claws as a weapon sometimes. Also he wears a cool tiger mask.

Supposedly it's going to be kind of Arkham With Guns.

Not really sure how that'll pan out though I suppose Red Hood's DLC in Arkham Knight shows some idea.

Yeah if I'm playing as a giant shark man, I wanna be biting dudes in half, not shooting them. They have captain boomerang a gun, but he already had boomerangs, which are cooler

Before I suffocated in a non water environment? Probably. :v: If nothing changes from that cinematic as to how the characters are going to play out, Shark will either act as The Heavy from TF2 or Brick from Borderlands. If they're smart it'll be a mix of both depending what the level or mission needs/requires. I'm totally fine with Shark not acting like the cartoon, even if Funches take on the character is really fun, Samoa Joe is a really charismatic wrestler and can be a really intimidating presence. So I'm interested in seeing how he plays King Shark.

Having Boomerang teleport around via boomerang and blow fodder away with a shotgun is a mechanic that really intrigues me as far as what the cool down looks like and how many times you can do it before cool down.

"Do you want to talk to a spider, Peter?"


They gave Boomer limited super speed like his son in the comics.

Samoa Joe is a good choice for King Shark because he looks like he could beat a shark to death with his bare hands. Plus, he has a good sense of humor.

Boomerang likely just has tech in the boomerang to teleport to it.

I like how Shark talked at the end. He sounded kind of thespian like.

Don't you tell me my business again.
I'm not planning on buying a new gaming console anytime soon but if did, it wouldn't be to play a new Batman game where I never got to play as loving Batman.

I love all the Arkham games but I'm honestly relieved that Arkham Knights doesn't interest me enough to tempt my wallet at all. Wish I could say the same about RE8 because that looks rather badass but I learned my lesson a long time ago about adopting first generation electronics of any sort (from computers, to TV's to phones and right on down the line) so I'm gonna sit back and watch other people spend their hard earned money.

I'll get to play all these games eventually and will save hundreds of dollars by simply being patient, kicking back and learning what's actually good or worth buying. Color me unexcited with what I saw from the Arkham Knights trailer as well as that Avengers game. Only game I'm jealous to not be able to play is PS4 Spiderman but whatever. I've got 6 or 7 (good) games gathering dust already that I can't find or make time to play so, yeah.

Everyone on the team can fire guns. Deadshot's gimmick is that he will hit his target.
