You'll never guess who was confirmed as the main villain of the Batgirl DLC.

Kind of dissapointed that Batgirl's DLC is the only one with a hefty amount of achievements.

The Red Hood one aside of confirming is a retread of the original story (and maybe suggesting a Batman boss fight) just gave a huge push at the idea of Jason being the Arkham Knight. Whether it happens before or after the main story the whole thing just fits with his MO

Some guy beat an early copy of Arkham Knight and said that the Arkham Knight is Robin whatever that means (dick? tim? jason? damian?) and that the Joker is in the game.

So, what's his angle for being the Arkham Knight, anyway? I thought he was against criminal activity, but here he is cooperating with literally everyone. Is he planning to gas the city with Scarecrow's weapon to take them all out or something?

Nah he is always a criminal. He is an enemy of the Bat Family for the most part and part of his debut was being a crime boss. He had no issue with working with criminals and had a ton of hench men and with his own drug cartel. The only thing differing him from his rival crime lord Black Mask was that his gang did not sell drugs to children.

Untrue.

While he did restrict the drug selling, the whole point of getting involved with Mask's operation was entirely to gently caress with Batman. And in fact, the people focerd to work with him ended dead most of the time.

On the comics it was to show how his methods were better while on the movie was to get Mask so desperate that he would release the Joker from Arkham.

In any case, the whole thing about him being the AK is a lovely twist because is a retread of Under the Red Hood with him under another alias for no goddamn reason and how RS barked non stop that the AK was a whole new character

According to some users at the Arkhamverse Forums, the following villains will be DLC Most Wanted: Killer Croc, Prometheus, Black Mask, Mad Hatter, Mr. Freeze, and Ra's al Ghul.

Not sure how accurate this is, but the topic can be seen here: http://forum.arkhamverse.com/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=23407&sid=2c521295b6a7c3d25e7c394f045c6088

Black Mask? Where that would leave Red Hood's DLC then?


Skeezy posted:

So question about the Arkham Knight do you really not get any form of closure on him? Batman finds out his identity and then shoots at Scarecrow? That scene looked like they forgot the Arkham Knight existed and just realized oh poo poo we should put him here. Was hoping Batman would talk to him at the end real quick for something.

For what is worth he becomes the Red Hood and goes after various villians on his own. The DLC pack is him against Black Mask

Joker says something about "It looks like you could use a new sidekick" at one point, so I'm assuming Tim was recruited between Asylum and City.

Which would explain why Batman seems completely unwilling to put him in dangerous situations.

Of course the fact Jason was held captive somewhere within Arkham for more than six months is a bit absurd given Batman could build an entire batcave underneath the place but couldn't find a trace of Jason.

"Someone's tracking you, sir." "I knew he'd come."

It's strongly hinted that it's about to happen, though there's a really long sequence in between. They should have put more time dedicated to him towards the end of the game, though.

But it's a really similar disappearance to what happens at the end of Captain America: Winter Soldier.

You can also find Jason's Red Bat emblem spray painted on a wall before entering Scarecrow's hideaout.

Speaking of DLC, Batgirl's will be released on July 14th for Season Pass owners and the 21th for everyone else. Aside of a whole new area with secrets and more it promises dual play with Robin.

For non Season Pass owners, the DLC will cost $6.99

1 dlc involving his allies (Nightwing, robin, catwoman?)

The first issue of Arkham Knight: Genesis is out and I'm not entirely convinced on the way Tomasi's handling Jason, it hypes Jason's skills way too much but is hardly to take seriously considering Jason's actual actions on the game (I mean if he was THAT good, why he's all bark but not bite on the game?)

Still, I'm one of the biggest Jason Todd fans around and even I found hard to believe that a 13 year old Jason could beat the Joker and almost killing him before being Robin.

Deathstroke kind of live up to the hype on Origins at least, Jason on AK is like a sith on the prequel trilogy: looking badass but once the chips come down he goes down like a bitch.

I'm okay with that. I hate when writers make Joker out to be some kind of formidable fighter. He's not or at least he shouldn't be, he's a clown. I liked when you got to fight "him" in City, because you just knock him silly immediately.

Is that a skin for Red Hood? For what purpose? The 5 minute DLC pack?

The Joker was using an exosuit and had Batman at his mercy though.

Honestly, the only pack I'd find interesting is the Seasons of Infamy one and that is assuming is a full DLC like Batgirl's and not glorified AR maps like Nightwing, Red Hood and Harley's

Also if the list is true gently caress Rocksteady, they only give an alternate skin to Jason and is the lovely Condonman from Morrison's run. :argh:

This is a thing

quote:

We’re aware that a lot of fans here in the community are asking for the chance to play with Harley Quinn’s classic look from Batgirl: A Matter of Family, and others would like the chance to play as Red Hood in his uniform as the Arkham Knight.

Sefton and I were talking about this earlier, and he told me that while we didn’t plan for either of these to be playable in the game, we may be able to find some resources somewhere to make one of them into a character skin. Whether we’re able to do this all depends on how widespread the demand is, and which character is most popular.

So let’s decide with a democratic vote. We’ll use the Twitter Hashtags #TeamClassicHarley and #TeamArkhamKnight – please mention @RocksteadyGames in your tweets to make sure they’re counted. We’ll add up the mentions and announce the winner once we have a decision.

Quick disclaimer: if there isn’t enough interest in this, we won’t be able to justify assigning the artists and designers to this project, so it’s up to you guys to show that lots of players want this!

Looking forward to seeing what you guys want.
