It's so weird that this is supposed to be a direct follow-up to the Arkham games. Though considering that this has multiverse shenanigans, and they're apparently bringing the Joker back to be a playable character eventually, I wouldn't be surprised if they plan to bring all the heroes back down the line. Of course, that would require this game to be successful enough to justify future updates to get to that point, and I'm not all that optimistic of that happening.

Wolverine plot looks pretty meh but playable Jean Grey is really exciting. Walter Langowski and Forge making appearances is also very hype. Some deep-ish x-roster digs!

One of the early big leaks said time travel and Flashpoint poo poo was supposed to happen to reset the earth to before Brainiac shows up because you find out you have lost. the leak that said that is about 2/3rds right so I wonder if some rewrites happened.

No way to spoiler this because it would have to be so vague as to be pointless but I hope they've got some interesting things cooked up in light of Control stealing their thunder for that kind of gameplay.

Well, if this is supposed to be an ongoing GAAS game, then you can't really have an ending like that since it would seemingly undo the entire threat and setting itself.

Yeah. The OG leak revealed that your squad isn't even the first squad who went in. you are just all that is left. All the other heroes or big hitter villains are dead or turned. In that leak they said you could find remnants of heroes or villains where they died like blue beetle, green arrow, black manta, or captain cold.

Mr. Freeze: Cold gun, some kind of cold-adapted physiology, immortality and some kind of death wish?
Killer Frost: Cold-adaptive physiology, ice powers, relatively normal personality

I only picked Mr. Freeze because I think he looks the coolest out of everyone of them because of his giant cryosuit, also he's a recurring Batman villain.

He can look the coolest, especially since the 90s cartoon which not only gave him the compelling story as mentioned above but gave him that incredible Mike Mignola redesign.

Barry Allen going into a bar where a jukebox is very loudly playing "Cold as Ice" to talk to Captain Cold (and I'm pretty sure multiple cold puns get used) is the greatest scene in television history.

Shocked I tell you
The biggest thing about Captain Cold is that he far more powerful than Freeze and doesn't kill people without a pretty good reason.

His gun manipulates absolute zero, and at the default setting puts people into temporary stasis with the ice just being a side effect of the intense cold it creates. In several settings it auto freezes things around him and slows stuff down. He's able to reliably tag Flash cause Flash gets slower when near him. He can of course make his gun lethal, but he's not a fan of doing so.

Cold is also very professional, which is a thing I would like in an agent. Once got annoyed someone compared him to Freeze cause Freeze's gun shoots snow and ice, while his creates Cold.

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


PDFs for the Batman Roleplaying Game are available for the people who backed it on Kickstarter. I'll be digging through them this weekend, and I'll give a report. It's made by the people who did the Gotham City Chronicles board game, so all the miniatures and maps are compatible. Hopefully I'll like these books, because I've got plenty of ideas cooking.

I really liked that game. Great character dynamic amazing voice cast, fun music and beautiful places to explore. A screenshot from the final confrontation is still my desktop wallpaper.
To bad the combat was only serviceable. It was fun but nothing special.

Anyway please play that game.
