GOTTA GO FIST

CzarChasm posted:

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

But it's a video game.

So whether or not I hit or miss will be down to...my own skill as a player, right? Which will be consistent whether I'm Deadshot, Boomerang, Harley, or King Shark. So that gimmick doesn't really translate to gameplay. It might if he had unique gameplay. But if everyone is being homogenized to some form of shooting, it's less special.

I mean if nothing else you can probably assume that every character will have unique abilities and moves and one of Deadshot's will probably be a temporary auto-lock or something.

Also video game weapons have shown differences in accuracy and power for a while so "Deadshot has a sniper rifle" would differ him from "King Shark has a chaingun."

I am but a simple man who only yearns to pick things up with my super shark strength and then throw them at mooks.

And also maybe eat someone.

What if I told you that you can do that and shoot a minigun.

The Question IRL

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

I wonder if Gameplay wise this is going to be like the multiplayer mode from Resident Evil 3.
As in a team of four players on one side, each playing different characters with different skill sets.

And then one other player on his own who controls waves of mook enemies that the Squad have to work past to get to a boss Justice League character.
It would give them scope to have a suicide squad that is more than just four villains.

If you think you're gonna get sympathy from the shark, well then, you won't.


Or at least, like, 1 in a million surgery / breakthrough Wayne-Tech prosthetic implant.

That's some real "Wiggle your big toe" bullshit.

So back on the King Shark using an LMG thing, I think I have an explanation.

To my eye, it looks like each member of the squad has two weapons. Deadshot's got his wrist guns and sniper rifle, Boomerang has well, the boomerang and the shotgun, Harley has her baseball bat and pistols, and therefore Shark has the LMG and well, being a motherfucking shark!


(It would also fit with them having one long range and one short range weapon apiece).

Remember when Barbara refused to have her paralysis fixed by means the average person couldn't have, like the Amazons' Purple Ray? Apparently all she had to do was want it enough! Good times.

There's people in this thread complaining about the game being the side kicks and not Batman, they definitely weren't gonna go with the less popular sidekicks.

You are all wrong. Barbara was healed when a time-displaced member of the Gordan family, which was retroactively said to have a whole history in Gotham City that was never elaborated on until now, what shot in the back again, but this time with a time-travelling radion bullet. Or maybe Barbara was the one time-traveling? *takes a huge rip from bong* Also Barbara was mentally programed with a split personality called the Bat Girl of Zur En Ah that knows all her moves which explains how she recovered so fast, but the downside is she is loving high as a kite.


If you're confused, I'm taking the piss out of Grant Morrison's run of Batman

I feel like it not being the arkham continuity was a last minute decision from some suit. This is very obviously happening in the aftermath of Arkham Knight.

It's a 10 page comic, there are definitely more Land-ish faces earlier in the comic. Instantly was able to recognize the artist.

She is Brite bomber, cat is Kit, banana is Peely, and the eyes are Raven.
