But that isn't DARK AND GRITTY enough for a Batman game,according to the same people who liked Man of Steel.

The game starts out as Adam West Batman and as the game progresses by the endgame it's Dark Knight Returns

The answer to What if Rocksteady made a Superman game is always going to be Smallville. Start out in the hay fields as Superman unlocks his power set and enters Metropolis. By the end of the game you're probably full Superman and you really would run into problems on how to do a sequel after that.

Also that rumor that Rocksteady was going to do an Aquaman game is actually really cool if you stop and visualize what they could do with the ocean

So like when Batman goes to the Clocktower to find Oracle kidnapped, they left her wheelchair behind but when Scarecrow wheels her out on the rooftop she's sitting in it.
Did they just double back for it or something?

Hey I did just about everything in the Batgirl DLC and theres something bothering me


In the building under the oil rig tower, and really pretty much all the easter eggs, if you use detective mode you can see an unarmed person, alive with similar animation like a hostage standing next to something hackable. I have not found a way to be able to enter it and seeing how Post Game doesn't have any NPCs you can talk too I'm wondering if it's just some kind of weird glitch.

Also isn't it kind of weird this DLC happens on Valentines Day? Maybe all the DLC will be on a holiday and we'll get some kind of Christmas themed Calender Man dlc finale

I might be taking it wrong but is Season of Infamy just adding more Most Wanted Missions? Like if you start up a base game with the expansion you'll have get the sidequests too? Going to make my eventual Batman 66 playthrough even funner

Season of Infamy spoiler relating to Mr Freeze's mission


https://community.wbgames.com/t5/Ba.../966764#U966764


So like it sounds like this might be a problem, Freeze was the second mission I did and from there on the game stayed snowing. I had already beaten the game and gotten Knightfall so it didn't bother me at the time but I can see where people are saying it, as much as I am tired about it, it doesn't look as good as the rain. How was your experience with this?



Also when exactly can you do the Season of Infamy dlc? It looks kind of challenging for a first time playthrough but I think it could incorporate it's self midway through a normal play session. Or do you have to wait for the postgame section?

My idea for a new Arkham game is Batman: Arkham City in a Bottle. Batman is up against Brainiac solo which is really above league for him unprepared. Throughout the game you experience the Batman rogues growing more bolder thanks to the bottles isolation and the general nihilistic mood of Gotham now. Also maybe Batman can find a way to get into other bottles and team up with alien characters like Lobo or a Lantern.

Telltale Batman setting up some hype

http://comicsalliance.com/telltale-batman-details-sxsw/

quote:

Telltale’s Batman writers Nick Herman and Pierre Shorette were joined by executive producer TQ Jefferson, CEO Kevin Bruner, and head of creative communications Job Stauffer on the panel. This upcoming game will attempt to get to the core of who Bruce Wayne is, and while there’s no set ratio of Bruce:Batman in place, the team is trying to make it more about Bruce. You will however get some say in which of the Dark Knight’s personas deal with certain decisions. This will in turn impact later elements, a staple of the Telltale formula, and help shape your own personal version of Gotham City.

While you can’t completely avoid being Batman or Bruce for the entirety of the game, Telltale’s Batman will still let you play each version of the character how you wish. Want to stay silent as Batman and just be an imposing creature of the night? You’ll be able to do that. Want to make Batman a chatty detective who monologues people into submission? The choice is yours.
Brunner also shed some light on the design of the game, explaining that Telltale’s Batman would debut a lot of new technology for the developer’s upcoming library. “It’s an evolution creatively and technologically,” Brunner said. The team is pulling from the character’s rich 75 year history to inform the look of the world, which Stauffer said will look like a comic come to life. Creators like Jim Lee, Greg Capullo, Neal Adams, Adam Kubert, and Bob Kane are inspiring the look and feel of Gotham, but when the game arrives it will still be a wholly unique Batman that is undeniably Telltale’s.


It sounds like it's going for an M rating, I see myself getting the season pass for it, something I havn't done since Wolf Among Us.

Anyway I think April 14th was that hidden Penguin wall easteregg you guys were talking about, right? Arkham's taking a lot of space on the harddrive but I won't clear it until then.

Crabtree posted:

In theory it's not hard if you take the Hulk Ultimate Destruction route and let the player feel super all the way through the game, but also make them care about not causing collateral damage on earth and saving people. Of course, any Superman game now would probably have DC sitting on your chest until you make it more like the current incarnations or like the current films as "audiences don't like a Steve Reeves nice guy. They want Prototype".

Also I don't trust Rocksteady right now to not go half crazy with races coming off from Arkham Knight either. Fly through the hoops to earn Super Points to remember all your super powers!

They would avoid the rings and make it more of an in universe kind of thing.
