I haven't played this game or know anything about it, so this shouldn't count as a spoiler, but what's the over-under on the Joker coming back to cackle at us once again?

Well, here in Italy you can take both the theory and practical driving test without going to a driving school, although that is highly recommended and is how I learned how to drive properly.
Though my parents did teach me the very basics of driving before I went to one of these schools.

Do you have to wear fingerless leather gloves at driving school?

It could be fine if you use a different Superman than the iconic boyscout. Maybe the supermullet?



Or maybe Calvin Ellis the Black Superman?



A Death of Superman game, where you play all four of the replacements, would be great.

Although that'd just be Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions.

Jack Ryder is looking mighty pouty there. Is he practicing his Blue Steel?

E: The Gray Ghost was also the focus of the greatest B:tAS episode. But you knew that already, true Bat-Fans!

That brings me to something: are the Riddler's broadcasts live? Does he add the audiovisual distortions personally, as a signature, or is it a function of the broadcast?

It's a part of his skill set that's usually hard to visualize through the medium of comic books, so it tends to be an informed ability or some kind of Bat-deduction. "Robin! The shark was pulling my leg! That must mean..." - "Holy coincidence, Batman! Penguin's working with the Joker!"

Superman is similarly "The Man Of Tomorrow", but that's been thrown out.

They won't have time for it. They need to squeeze all the universe-building Marvel's done since 2008 into a single movie.

I just like that the communicator Batman used to talk to Gordon in the car was called "Batphone".

Like what Adam West had in his Lincoln Futura, with a direct link to... Commissioner Gordon! It all makes sense.

John Noble as Scarecrow talks about fear like DIablo talks about nephalem. BLAH BLAH BLAH NEPHALEM BLAH BLAH FEAR BLAH

It's kind of his thing, to be fair. As the thread has said before, Jonathan Crane can make you terrified for your life just by talking calmly to you for a while (he is a trained psychologist, after all). That's probably what Rocksteady was going for, but alas, their writing wasn't up to snuff. Sometimes, the Scarecrow monologues hit, but not often enough.

Nevermind that, he's playing second fiddle to Thomas Elliott (rich guy, can pay for both gadgets and a huge army, looks like Bruce, wants to be him, it makes sense).

The tank fights look like they start to drag. Like Skrewtape said, it doesn't seem to be getting more fun, just more frustrating.

I really liked the Joker hallucination Scarecrow gas fakeout, even if it's a little hard to work out what happened in the real world.

And really, Batman should use a gas mask of some sort. Maybe he doesn't wanna rob the world of that perfect jawline.

Two-Face flubs his release and gets a 7-10 split. He can't pick it up because he can only choose one... Joker shoots the other pin with his revolver, makes a pun about "SPARE"ing everyone from the cliche duality crap.

Somebody, write a 66-style Batman:TAS as soon as possible.

The funnier thing is that a lot of the people who were disappointed in this DLC said things like "Obviously the rest of the DLC will be better, it's being made by Rocksteady!". This is easily the best of the story DLC, remember the Harley Quinn DLC we saw earlier? The rest of the DLC campaigns are pretty much the same.

I kinda liked the Harley Quinn DLC. It presented a different take on the same aesthetics without going overboard.

On the other hand, the characterization of Two-Face is pretty on-target. Obsessed with justice and fairness, but using duality and his coin as the method.

Meant to ask this before, can you blow up the penguin caches without closing the vaults or will it say the explosion is too big?

It'd be funny if you got a non-standard game over. Instead of the villain who killed you cackling at you in the game over screen, it's Nightwing going "Wow dumbass, I can't believe you actually did that. Let's go back to the cave and let Alfred tuck you into beddy-byes while the grownups deal with this."

It's a shame Renee Montoya doesn't appear in the Arkham games, her relationship with Harvey Dent is really interesting when they share screen (page?) time.

You can't have any other characters than Batman, they'd remove the focus from him. Which will not do.

In this video, I noticed that our "sane" prisoner has the same chin, mouth (though unsmiling), and nose as the Joker. He's not that well after all, is he?

They're establishing who Jason was and how he was tortured. Batman will pull off the Knight's mask, and we will see the brand on his cheek. This will be a shocking twist.

It's a good thing Batman put Hush through that table and knocked him out as quick as he did. If not, he might have two scarred-face villains running around Gotham.

If Harvey is Two-Face, will Tommy be No-Face?
