make the bat-ears longers

> fights the same titan miniboss 38908 times

you're probably some brainlet who thinks OMG THE STORYTELLING AND JOKER TWIST WERE AMAZING

knight has the best gameplay mechanics by far, its problem is not enough predator sections and the shitty forced vehicle stuff

origins had best detective but everything else was buggy and derivative

asylum was good but a good proof of concept

city was great and good boss fights but the catwoman stuff was bad pacing, don't mind playing as her, but the execution was sloppy

This.

City had one good boss fight, everything else is on par with the rest of the series (i.e. shit). Also the open world format was total cancer.

>armor plated abs
>briefs look like a stripper's speedo
no

Nah the tank battles were pretty contrived to be honest and I don't think they made the game better by being in it. AA batmobile would be fine if they made it slightly bigger to fit the electric winch in it.

Also the AK being Jason Todd was not inherently a bad thing. His name should just have been Red Hood from the start and they could have brought in League of Assassins by keeping his original backstory of being executed in front of Batman's eyes and then revived in a lazarus pit

There is literally nothing wrong with city's open world

besides being complete garbage that adds nothing but padding, like every open world

I agree with your list, but I think Knight would be on top if the challenge maps and Season of Infamy were included in the base game. It's painfully obvious those quests were supposed to be there from the start.

>bat-ears longers
Plural indeed.

There's no wasted space in City.

Yeah, the abs are very lame.

the entire map is wasted space. It's designed specifically just to waste your time between story missions.

Shit dude I guess every time you had to backtrack around Arkham Asylum's courtyard to get to the mission maps was useless backtracking too, then. Fuck off you stupid nostalgiafag

Hot take that no one will agree with:
I like Arkham City the least.

>contrived name and concept to forcibly combine a prison and open-world Gotham
>absurdly stupid story from start to finish (Strange's plan was literally to make himself look incompetent)
>uses the entire rogue's gallery and largely wastes it
>puts tons of iconic Gotham locations like 15 feet away from each other
>introduces Batman being able to basically fly
>only 3 big indoor levels
>replaced Oracle with Alfred
>no Batcave

I know it's objectively a good game, but I found it very disappointing and it kind of affected Origins and Knight badly as well.

Asylum was a cohesive, contained experience more akin to a Metroidvania. City was just another bland open world meme game.

I'm not taking the opinions of a retard who thinks that having to travel between story missions is "wasted time" very seriously, especially not after they start defending having to backtrack everywhere across the world map in classical metroidvania style. TLDR you are an idiot.

what did she mean by this?

You gotta admit though the beginning with Strange confronting Wayne about his secret identity was the single greatest opening in the entire series.

>get all the supercriminals together in one spot
>then nuke them from orbit
what is wrong with this plan

That was dumb. He wasn't causing any physical harm and his motives was for space. He would of walked away.

Fucking retarded.

Nukes aren't real and satellites don't exist

Played all these games for the first time in 2017 (except Origins which I played last year). Despite how hard it would be for me to return to Asylum I would definitely replay it over Knight

Being a man is suffering, doesn't matter the situation.

At a glance, both make semi-sense but if you think about them at all the concept makes Strange look like the most incompetent clown. He's not scheming at all, he's doing blatantly illegal and dumb shit and thinking there will be no repercussion. Arkham Knight even acknowledges it with all the prisoners getting huge payouts from the city.

I didn't like the voice acting in Origins. It's so stellar in the rest of the series that it was really noticeable that they couldn't hire the normal cast.

>Bruce Timm
>Feminist millenial

Attached: ThinkingSkeleton.jpg (572x303, 112K)

It's just Bruce Timm being a waifufag. The entire first 30 minutes of The KIlling Joke adaptation was just Barbra wanking and Bruce x Barbra shipping that was never present in the original book at all. You could cut all that out and nothing would be lost.

>Arkham Knight even acknowledges it with all the prisoners getting huge payouts from the city.
The Jack Ryder takes in Knight also show that AC consistently had public support and that a lot of the city is actually really butthurt that the cops let the inmates go instead of just locking them back in AC and telling them to deal with it. The public would have fully approved of Strange blowing the entire population of AC up and not have batted an eye.

Asylum was the best in the series. It was intense and the atmosphere was so eerie & it was the quintessential portrayal of a place holding the worlds most dreaded and dangerous criminals. It was perfect.
City tried to expand on it but the scale of it kind of stretched it thin and it failed to place the same pressure on the player as asylum did.
Knight was okay, the batmobile sections were of very poor taste.
Asylum > city > knight

Post the Harley pages.

The feds literally do not give a shit about Gotham, Scarecrow can literally bring a hostile foreign military into the city and occupy its territory and the larger government tells the GCPD to fuck off.

I thought that was because they wanted to go for a younger cast. Personally I thought Troy Baker did a decent job taking over for Hamill and Sonic Redfield did a decent job as Batman

>written by a millenial man
Bruce Timm has a hard on for barb no matter what

Attached: Azrael.jpg (2048x1152, 397K)

I think Azzarello wrote the screenplay.

It's fair for people to get made about the city freeing hundreds of criminals and giving them payouts in AK.

But the idea that you can just break federal law with that prison concept and false imprisonment of billionaires is stupid to me. If it were like No Man's Land/TDKR and there were a reason the feds couldn't do anything then fine. But there's really no justification for Arkham City in the game other then "oops, the criminal asylum got blown up". There are other prisons in the city/state/country that can hold fucking criminally insane mass murderers. I can't suspend my disbelief for a story that really isn't even trying. They design the concept then didn't bother to justify it with the story.

Eh, wouldn't be surprised if it was Timm's idea anyway. He certainly didn't oppose it, if it wasn't. At any rate, you can skip the first half hour of that adaptation and miss absolutely nothing, which is what really gets me.

city>asylum>origins>knight dlc>knight

I just wanna say that the Arkham Knight Batsuit is my favourite of any Batsuit

I don't think Timm even directed it

Whens next game from rocksteady and whens next game from wb montreal?

AK opens with the federal government telling the GCPD that they're on their own after foreign troops land on their shores. They simply couldn't care less about what goes on in that city.

City is really fucking good. I never played anything past City but man, never have I ever completed every single quest in a game just because I didn't want to leave it. Is Knight nearly as good as City? I'm considering buying it.

the Congo isn't mainland American soil

This shit made no sense to me. Bruce faking his death won't stop the hammer from dropping on Barbara and Tim after he's gone. It's stupid.

LINEAR GAME GOOD
OPEN WORLD BAD

Attached: brainlet.png (800x729, 48K)

City is also a linear game, you retard. You just got fooled by having a really wide corridor.

Nah, he didn't, but he was involved enough to have some say over the project. Maybe it was his idea, maybe it wasn't. I just wouldn't be surprised if he was on board with the extra Barb stuff being put in. At the end of the day it could've been cut entirely, which is really my point.

Attached: 1434481726928.png (555x407, 13K)

In AK, the city is threatened with fear toxin and evacuated in the course of a few hours. The only people left are criminals and a militia, so sending in the feds risks their lives for very little gain. Plus it takes time to mobilize, so that wasn't even out of the question and could have happened later if necessary.

In AC, the prison has been active for AT LEAST a few days and there's also little to no risk to sending in feds to arrest everyone in charge of it. It just doesn't make sense to say "oh well they don't care about Gotham" when it's still part of the United States. I get that we're supposed to just take the plot for what it is, but to me it's just weak writing. It's like characters in taking off their masks on an alien planet then getting poisoned. It's stupid and takes me out of it.

>meanwhile fucking Spider-man PS4 was full of life

>The public somehow considers this perfectly normal and life just goes on regardless
Spider-Man PS4 has 30 million people living in a fucking warzone and literally not giving a shit except occasionally complaining on twitter about the rockets right outside their windows.

In the city The Riddler quest is some sort of parody of the SAW. In the knight he makes racing tracks for bats. This is idiocy.

Who's to say that the rest of the country isn't just as hard on crime?

I played them all recently just before BvS came out
Spiderman > City > Asylum > Origins >>> Asylum

Yeah, this reminds me AK happened in one night. KINO

They literally tell you that Riddler has gotten so desperate after 10 years of being btfo by Batman that he's building deathtraps just so Batman finally fucking dies and be done with it.

I mean, Professor Pyg hasn't been around much longer than Miles and he got into Arkham Knight

I mean that Miles has been around for 8 years but never really had a personality, he was just black Peter till into the spider verse and Spiderman PS4

what did Rocksteady mean by this?

>Jason Todd's torture somehow taking place during the events of Asylum make zero sense especially given its the first time he's even referred to
I don't get why they didn't just keep his backstory from the comic? Him being killed by Joker as Batman found him and then revived by Ras al Ghul was perfectly serviceable and it would be an easy way to put the league of assassins in the game. What was the point of having Batman be unable to find him for a YEAR? Besides being edgy.

Asylum>City>Arkham Kart*

meant to reply op

>what did Rocksteady mean by this?
Scarecrow wanted batman alive. Also it's probably easier to deploy a thousand drones with a small handful of remote operators than a thousand tanks manned by people

>Jason Todd's torture somehow taking place during the events of Asylum
wait did it really? I completely missed that. How would that even fucking work if Joker was in the asylum the entire time too?

This fight was kino though
youtube.com/watch?v=XwhhnDBXOvQ

Yeah that and stealth encounters ending before they even began because Batman now has 5+ preemptive knock outs despite the enemy crowds being no bigger than before

Everything about Knight is overthought and overdone.

OK but if you want Batman alive what is the point of deploying tanks at all? With live rounds? Tanks are meant to kill people.

I didn't like it how they got rid of double takedowns by absorbing them as fear takedowns.
Also the fear takedowns were pretty stupid, a lot of times I was literally watching bullets phase through Batman's body since the thugs were clearly shooting him but the game said he was invincible. Looked really silly.

Do you like driving?
If not, can you stomach driving for 50% of the time for really pretty graphics?

I really liked Arkham Knight, personally, but I'm a weirdo who plays futuristic racers all day.

>Tanks are meant to kill people.
Tanks are meant to occupy territory and provide support to infantry. Any nation using tanks to attack people is destined to fail.
It's extremely easy for a small anti tank team to cause massive amounts of damage to tank columns.

batman is overdone, unlike your toast

This fight is dumb.

>It's extremely easy for a small anti tank team to cause massive amounts of damage to tank columns.
Hmm you mean kind of like a freak in a bat-themed super suit with a specialty in sneaking around and fucking people up with weird gadgets.

Here is how you approach the AK sending tanks into Gotham:
>Tanks flood the streets
>Batman uses the scanner on his plane to find the source of the drone broadcasts
>Sneaks into the AK headquarters
>Destroys the broadcast towers and knocks out the operators
>All of the tanks are now paperweights
But noooo let's just spam tank battles instead

I just like the fact that the batmobile can go into spider mode. I think it's rad.

Knight had too much Batmobile and too much Joker.

>AK running at 60 fps
Do my eyes deceive me?

>all the thugs having the time of their lives until batman breaks their bones or they get gassed by scarecrow
Poor guys.

He got it wrong. It takes place a few weeks before Asylum at least. No exact dates have been given on anything. It's mostly just a sloppy last minute cleanup job of the timeline. But, there are some hints in Asylum to show that they might've have thought of it back then. Like how Batman is extra pissed at Joker and makes it a point to follow him to his cell at the beginning of the game.

>Do my eyes deceive me?
my 1060 6gb does this just fine

Joker's dialogue was the height of the game

this, open world is boring

I like the Joker cameos.

>When you see Batman, shout and charge him. Never fails.

I've recently replayed through the Arkham games and i can safely say that it is City > Asylum > Origins >> Knight. Knight sucks ass aside from it's visuals and if you legitimately think it's well written and has great levels you're fucking retarded

I’m pretty sure all the games do, which Asylum is the only plausible one to take place in one night

I've only played Asylum and City, but I preferred the former over the latter. Arkham City's story just wasn't as compelling and the atmosphere wasn't as creepy.

SUPERMAN GAME WHEN

also the only game to give Batman a five o clock shadow by the end of the night, if I remember right

Knight has by far the best combat.

Arkham VR > the rest.

Asylum and that animated Suicide Squad movie which is miles better than that abortion of a live action are the best things out of the Arkham Universe.

Doesn't Arkham City have Strange counting down the hours until the end of the game? You have 11 hours to complete the main campaign, assuming that you don't fuck around and do all the sidequests first. The main story of AC taking place over one night isn't that unreasonable.

He also has bloodshot eyes by the end of the game, all the games had such great small little details

Origins upsets me for a plethora of reasons.

>As referenced by some firefighter in the AK mission, “Line of Duty”, Firefly has been gone for nearly a decade. That means AO and AC are at least nine years apart, yet there’s no technology gap. In fact, AO seems to be even more advanced in the presentation of some of it’s technology.
>Even worse, there’s a 2013 calendar in the game, a blackboard of information dated from 1973-1976, the wiki claims it took place five years before City, Arkham City was officially opened in 19XX according to a plaque you can find, and I’m pretty sure one of the developers tried to retcon this timeline clusterfuck by claiming that it took place a few months before Asylum, meaning the cast might be going through some fucked up kind of rapid aging. Let this all sink in for a second.
>Harley's origin and her original talks with Joker are retconned. A fact that wouldn’t even be the case if they simply gave Joker a different psychiatrist to talk to.
>Despite taking what could potentially be 20 years to develop and multiple in-game training sessions to earn, Batman has the Grapnel Shot. Not even a prototype, it’s just the Grapnel Shot.
>No attempt to improve combat like from City to Asylum. In fact, it’s somehow worse.
>Blatant reused animations.
>Different Robins fight exactly the same way.
>Killer Croc of all people is now an assassin.
>A potentially interesting plot involving an underrepresented villain in the series gets pushed aside for a really bad twist that takes those expectations and blows a runny dump on them.

>"DUDE HE'S JUST UNCONSCIOUS LMAO"

It was time for other villains to have the spotlight. But the devs chickened out and found a way to shoehorn him into the game.

They just copy pasted the more modern City version, even though this game took place nearly a decade ago.

Took that webm playing through it on PC a year ago. I had one single crash right after starting the game one single time. Otherwise it ran perfectly and looked fucking amazing. From my perspective, I'd say they fixed the game.
Don't know how it runs on low-end hardware or AMD though.

Yeah City does take place over ten hours if I remember right but goddamn, the amount of the shit that happens in City is just absurd to me for it to take place in one night

Listen, Batman just finished building this new tank and he's fucking depressed and suicidal. I think it makes sense that he'd want to have a bit of reckless fun instead of doing shit the normal way for once. And on that same note it was way a better idea for him to battle the tanks head on because nobody, not even Jason Todd who knows all of his fucking moves and gadgets, would have imagined Batman of all people would just decide to start zipping around, blowing shit up, and running people over in a million dollar tank. The Bat-tank is unpredictable and basically unstoppable unless you chimp out and chase it down with a giant drill. If he took out all the tanks the normal way they probably would've had sentries out the ass waiting to make him into Swiss cheese.

Accurate to the comics
Marvel civilians are brain dead

The reason why combat is somehow worse despite it being reused from City is because they made Batman take longer to throw a punch because of adding animations, also goons will literally starting swiping at air but still hit you because you didn’t hit the counter button

Asylum > Knight > City > Origins > Blackgate

Listen, being a vegetable and being dead are two different things

Was there some huge hidden Easter egg in knight like asylums room and city's calendar man date/scarecrows ship?

Wrong. Knight>Origins>City>Asylum.

You can't fail. Time advances by story missions, not real time

They're just taking a nap user, they'll be completely okay when they wake up

Batman could always just finish the main story and then do the side missions later. There's no specified order he's stated to do everything in. Batman's canonical words to Catwoman after the main mission ends is "there's still shit to do here," meaning that he didn't clear everything and needs to go wrap up some sidequests.

There's also AK where the ends to the Penguin and Catwoman sidequests are clearly and obviously intended to be seen after Batman unmasks himself.

Nah, fuck you. CIty is the best but Knight was absolute shit between the change in the aesthetic of Gotham and the forced bat-tank missions. That shit was umbearable. The only 2 things enjoyable about that disgrace of a game where the Joker ghost following you around and talking you and to be able to call on Robin, Nightwing and whatnot.

And it was fucking obvious it was Jason fucking Todd...

Why does BATMAN HAVE A TANK WITH GUNS

Asylum > Origins > City > Knight

They are all great games, though.

user you can headcanon your way into an explanation but it's still pretty goddamn contrived.
Same deal with the "bomb defusal" side mission, why start taking them out one by one when you can find the remote detonator that some random jobber is holding in his hand somehwere and just steal it?

I like both. They both work well for the games they are in. Everything in Knight felt super high tech, having batman run around in his pyjamas wouldn't have fit well.
Although I guess there's costumes for that anyway, so whatever.

Which reminds me: The beyond costume is overdesigned trash and doesn't even have rocket boots.

This is the best look of all the games. Knights armor was fucking disgusting.

I dunno, why did he strap a pair of M60s to his car in the 1989 movie?

Well the catwoman one is because he told her his identity between City and Knight

Where was this stated?

Dude, that guy's congenital heart condition was about to act up, that jolt of electricity saved his life. Batman is a hero.

Tank combat is more fun and challenging than the melee combat. You have to control vertical and horizontal aim and totally control your movement at the same time. In the melee combat, your aim and movement are the same thing and all only horizontal. And distance is handled automatically.

I honestly loved the really hard tank fights and wish there were more of them and more enemy types.

Almost every side mission in Knight has alternate dialogue if you beat it after the main story. But you can still beat them before then. I believe Catwoman will say the same thing because she already knows Bruce's identity. Either way, I'm just saying that he can't possibly have done it all in one night. AK is the best example of this one night bullshittery being bullshit. He definitely blows up his house on the same night so even if he didn't do it all during the main story, it's still impossible that he did it all on the same night.

I think it was in a Gotham City story, I can’t remember for the life of me

build the map like an actual city instead of a playground for the tank.
make arkham beyond and make the main vehicle fly

I thought that the stupid minigames were way more annoying than the tank fights, desu. The Mad Hatter bomb defusal one was just obnoxious.

Chases and occasional winch puzzles.

Chasing who? Every mission with Two-Face ends with chasing the getaway car? There's no challenge in that and everyone would just complain about forced vehicle sections.

That's just Marvel New York. Just move outside the city limits and you can live a quiet life.

She definitely knows it before the Knightfall ending. She jokes about robbing Wayne Manor during one of the Riddler rooms. She either found out between City and Knight,prior to City, or even during City because she's not retarded and would probably be able to put the pieces together unlike everyone else in Gotham.

I'm pretty sure that it's common knowledge that Wayne Industries is funding Batman, but people don't put it together that Bruce = Batman since that would require literally no sleep and nobody's realized that Bruce has actually just trained himself to not need more than like an hour of sleep per day and so they just assume it's impossible.

I want a Batman game more like Crackdown. Giant city, tall buildings, crazy architecture, weird monorails and shit. Obviously those games have flaws, but the unrealistic cities are great.

next game is going to be "Arkham Army" and you will play as Tim, Nightwing, and Catwoman taking down Batman who has finally gone insane from the Joker injection in Asylum.

Well some of the goons theorize that Batman is government funded and that’s why the cops don’t go after him but then again goons are dumb so take that as you will

Here is the ugly truth that Yea Forums simply does not want to acknowledge:
It is IMPOSSIBLE to incorporate the Batmobile or the Batwing in regular free roam gameplay. They simply require too much space and too many contrived circumstances to operate and design a game map around.
Unless you do what the AK devs did (which Yea Forums hated) you are restricted to implementing the Batmobile in pre-scripted chase sequences at certain predetermined parts of the game. It would be, in essence, a glorified minigame.

But then again Yea Forums would still complain about being forced into the Batmobile

The city would have to be designed a bit differently, but just chasing down escaping militia dudes you need to interrogate, sometimes Penguin goons with keycards, Firefly like in the actual game. Maybe trucks that are dropping mines and shit behind them as you chase. It could work.

Lego Batman 2 is what you're looking for. They basically just put LEGO sized people in a normal sized open world. So, it's big as hell and has plenty of crazy stuff going on in it. It probably has the best depiction of Gotham in any video game and it's the best LEGO game, they should've never made anymore after it

Yeah the city would have to be giant for a real batmobile to feel right, with the size it would need to be itd feel empty

And literally none of that could be done if there's even a single tank on the road. The first mission in the game would have to be taking out all the tank operators so that you could move the batmobile into the city.

But the LEGO villains one is great because they got all the iconic voices back including Conroy and Hamill

>Younger voice replacements really just don't feel good after two games of excellent VAs.
>Joker segment shoved in there in the middle that gets sidelined just as quickly.
>Black Mask is gone as quickly as he arrived despite you actually thinking they had the good thought of picking someone other than the usual main villains to be the main villain this time.
>The new take on City's Arkham feels both bigger and less unique than City's take on it, especially on revisits of areas.
>The bridge that takes forever to cross if you're not fast traveling everywhere.
>Despite having characters like Mad Hatter, Deadshot, and Shiva they're barely in the game at all, Deadshot is even reached and beaten in less than a couple minutes.
Anarky is pretty much the only one fleshed out besides Riddler.
>All those missable challenges, especially the Predator Rooms one.
>Penguin just goes away and Bruce doesn't really care to stop him after he stops Deathstroke.
Everything but the electric gloves felt like a massive downgrade after City. Enemies even attack different

That's accurate to the comics though. Hell, the Marvel take on New York is crazy but still somewhat livable. Damage Control even makes a living off of it. Just look at what goes on in Gotham.
>Scarecrow seemingly poisoning the city every couple weeks.
>Every single police officer besides Gordon and a handful of others are on some gang's payroll.
>Joker has his hands in pretty much every single pie.
>They have at the very least three mafia groups vying for control constantly and if you make a single mistake you're dead.
>Living a crime-free life is impossible because you will end up dealing with someone with ties to it at some point.
>Joker goes and kills thousands whenever he gets free which is always.
>The only place that keeps all the violent criminals has all their staff paid off by them.
>Joker, Penguin, and a whole host of other people have thousands of nameless henchman at their beck and call.

>That spoiler
Fuck yes, I love that game, hands down one of my favorite LEGO games

>Catwoman
>Talia
Why does Bruce have such shit taste in girls?

Yeah no

Asylum > Origins > City > Knight

*angry lesbian noises*

his parents were murdered in front of him at age 8, he was raised by his employee, and he never dealt with the trauma he experienced in a healthy way

I still don't get why they dropped Calendar Man. They made such a big deal about him in Origins and even in City and you just don't see anything happen at all in either game. You even get a bunch of crumbs left for you with him in Origins and it's just like "Oh yeah, he's gone to the wind".

Imagine if Calendar Man was a major villain in Knight

No seriously, why doesn't Penguin or someone else pay a guy to slip poison gas into Joker's cell at Arkham and just be done with it? Goddamn how much money has he cost their operations at this point. He should by all rights be a dead man the moment he gets put in a jail cell.

And actual bosses.

Is that the newest one? It looked interesting when it was announced but ever since LEGO Batman 2, I felt the quality of them slipped a lot. 3 was a buggy mess and just didn't capture the same feeling. And the ones that came after it looked soulless cash-ins. Who the hell wanted LEGO Incredibles?
It's so great and it was fucking revolutionary. Nothing will be as satisfying as when I popped in a fully voiced, open world LEGO game. Peak LEGO right there.

>Catwoman
>bad
I don’t think Batman is the one with shit taste

All those millions and he couldn't afford a therapist?

>lesbian
but she canonically dates men?

Yeah LEGO villains is the one that came out last year, the main selling point was that they hired every iconic voice for the heroes and for the others they just got the Arkham voices, like Grey Delisle as Catwoman and Wally Wingert as Riddler. Also you make your own character for the story.

From a gameplay perspective
>The Batmobile is far too abundant and far too convoluted in its inclusion. If there were just a few select battles where the batmobile came into play against just a few really tough tanks and car chases, it would've been great, but it's practically 2/5th of the game.
>Batman's gone from being a strong dude in a strong suit, to being a Musou character who casually takes on dozens of men at a time and can literally jump into a room with 9 armed men and disarm 7 before anyone knows what's going on. His stealth has been trivialized, and rather than enemies getting better to compensate for Batman's enhanced moveset and pose a real threat, they just crammed more on the screen.
>The PC release was an absolute mess.
>Deathstroke and AK get no opportunity to use their actual combat skills.
>DLC is meh at best.
From a story perspective.
>AK's reveal was a fucking mess.
>In the one chance the series had to not be Joker wank, they double down on Joker wank in a move almost as infuriating as his take over to the story of Origins.
>How come fear toxin suddenly gives Batman a wacky Joker sidekick, that's not how fear toxin works.
>How come Joker's blood causes him to basically possess a bunch of randos when mixed with titan? That's not how titan works, and it really trivializes Joker's character when all it takes is his blood to make more Jokers.
>How did AK get a literal army? Seriously, I don't think there's ever a good explanation.
>If AK knows everything about Batman, how come he never abuses ANY of that. No hostages, no talk of his dead-ass parents, he doesn't even put people in his fucking tanks.
PART FUCKING ONE

You should give the Marvel ones a go if you liked Batman for its open world. It's the only decent Iron Man game out on the market. Lego games are so good man, when you just need to relax and want something to just run around in a world in it's cheap and good entertainment.

PART TWO
>Batman the professional escape artist with canonical access to the Flash and Superman AT LEAST, is ""subdued"" because of a hostage situation where he has to put away his utility belt.
>Batman keeps Robin locked up, even post game when he loses all reason to keep him locked up.
>Batman fights mental degeneracy by force of will alone.
>AK's only interest is to kill Batman, yet he completely throws Gotham under the bus to do so, despite knowing where he lives, and having 1000 other ways to approach the problem.
>AK doesn't care about Scarecrows goal, and will 100% let his army kill Batman or kill you in boss fights, but for some reason, he won't do it himself in the multiple cutscenes where Batman's in a clearly compromised position. There's literally a "you guys take it from here" moment where Batman's on the ground, disabled, and AK instead of shooting him in his exposed mouth, shoots him in his side and leaves for his men to kill him instead.
>Harley Quinn defeated Knightwing in 1v1 combat. It's canon.
>One of the biggest side stories in AC with Hush that ended with him STEALING YOUR FUCKING FACE, goes nowhere and ends with an anticlimactic batarang standoff in your office. In fact, this story REALLY goes nowhere if you do it post game, because even if Hush somehow won, everyone knows Bruce should be dead, so Hush basically fucked up his face for an identity theft scheme that the writers made sure could go nowhere.
>Why the fuck does Riddler build racetracks for Batman? He says it's to "test the specs of the Batmobile", but he never cared about Batman's shit, just how clever Batman's mind was. You don't have to be smart to be a good driver.
>Edward "Fail my puzzles and die" Nigma lets you race as much as you want until you win, and somehow still finds it unbelievable when it happens.
>Edward "I'm too smart to dignify myself with fighting" Nigma fights you with a fucking mech at the end of the game.
That's all I really got.

yeah, her whole subplot is about how asshurt she is over being in love with Bruce

>How did AK get a literal army? Seriously, I don't think there's ever a good explanation.
He got all the other supervillains to pay him $3 billion and recruited a bunch of mercenaries, this was in the audio tapes

Jokes on you I've only played Asylum and I liked it!

>only decent Iron Man game
There is nothing wrong with the Iron Man 2 game other than it's really linear. And the first on PS2 isn't half bad either. Anyway, I'll try some of the newer LEGO games now because LEGO games are the only thing my PC can actually run.

That still raises it's own questions like, How did some nobody villain negotiate $3 billion out of a bunch of other supervillains, but I guess I at least got an answer.

>There is nothing wrong with the Iron Man 2 game other than it's really linear.
The two movie ones felt like they were very stiff and made on a shoestring budget. You should be able to do what you could do in the Lego webm at any given time and get to wander around at the very least. The othe rgames feel more like you're just a really lousy plane.

>reorder story: Scarecrow at Ace Chemicals is final boss, not the intro to the game
>story gimmick: Jason Todd was revived in a lazarus pit after Joker blew up the warehouse due to Batman finding it. This has driven Todd completely bonkers. The army that Todd is commanding was recruited from League of Assassins personnel
>basic plot: AK only has a few tanks at most but they're all clustered around Ace Chemicals, making infiltration basically impossible
>your job is to infiltrate militia outposts and take out the tank operators so you can go in and stop scarecrow
>problem: the militia is doing stuff like setting up bombs throughout the city in order to deter Batman from doing this exact thing
>defusing any single bomb will cause the militia to blow up the whole bunch
>also problem: the other supervillains are out doing bullshit schemes while all this is happening
>all of this multitasking forces Batman to call in all of his allies because he physically cannot be everywhere he is needed at once
>this is where Jason comes into play
>Jason spends the whole game picking off Batman's friends one by one to try and force him into a duel while also wearing him out since he's not confident that he could win if Batman was 100% and has his allies backing him up
>Batman's identity is revealed accidentally when Jason starts calling Batman by his real name during their bossfight, and unbeknownst to either of them Scarecrow was filming it and then he releases the footage
>Batman saves the city and then "retires" to become Batman full-time with the express goal of keeping the vengeance off his allies now that the secret is out
Note the complete lack of Joker hijacking the plot in this scenario.

Gameplay
>No fear takedowns which were lame
>Every encounter with the AK militia is a predator encounter since they're a military
>No tank battles, batmobile is used to chase people down (chase missions were great) and solve environmental puzzles.

Did I fix it?

Scarecrow is REALLY persuasive, he is professionally trained to manipulate people

Why do people like Catwoman so much?

It's an improvement at least.

Because she’s hot and fun to play as

>the car chase missions were great
is there literally anyone who actually thinks this?

this

I don't know. I just can't figure it out.

Attached: from an official trailer.gif (400x224, 3.67M)

>fun to play as

which game had the most kino trailer?

She is. Whenever I go back to do challenge maps in Knight, I only play as her and Robin. Batman is too easy and Nightwing and Azreal are just nerfed Batman clones.
Tied between City and Origins.

Nigga what, Azreal is literally just a Batman clone

Only Jeramy knows.

I haven't played as him in a while. From what I remember, he was missing a few gadgets and just felt slower for some reason. Nightwing has no gadgets and I just don't like him. Robin and Catwoman have just enough gadgets and more fun combat.

I dunno, this was pretty kino
youtube.com/watch?v=VpXUIh7rlWI

Nightwing is my least favorite to play as too but I’m pretty sure Azreal has all of Batman’s gadgets and moves because he’s been “studying” Batman for awhile

Does Nightwing deserve the bullying?

Yes

I did not remember this one at all. The AK trailer that plays in my mind is the shitty one from when it was supposed to come out in 2014. Where Bruce is just getting suited up and shit and it has Thomas Wayne narrating. That one you posted was pretty good. But, City's 3 insanely kino trailers and Origins whole marketing aesthetic make them the best.

alright, which one of you fags was this?

>Where Bruce is just getting suited up and shit and it has Thomas Wayne narrating
I liked that though, the monologue was good

I like Asylum best. I know City made the world bigger, but I feel like Asylum made the world feel tighter. If that makes any sense. Asylum is my favorite, but it's not by much. The one think I loved about Knight was Joker being in you head and constantly messing with you.

Attached: 1536862861400.jpg (490x604, 58K)

Is THIS objectively the best Batmobile design?

Agreed. So many hours of fun spent with my little cousin just fucking around in the world
I actually have that game for my Switch but haven't started it yet. Doesn't it have a hero and villain campaign like the first LEGO Batman game did?

Sort of, you play as your oc helping villains and sometimes saving heroes

Sounds pretty decent. Should be getting around to playing it soon. Does Khary Payton finally voice Cyborg? He's still the GOAT voice of him to me and my one complaint about 2 and 3 was not having him.

Sadly no, it’s just the guy who’s been voicing him in the animated movies

Where the fuck do all these mad scientists even get all their funding from in Gotham? Who's shelling out this cash? Where do I apply?

all the banks they rob

which raises the questions of why banks even operate in Gotham, why insurance companies still cover banks in Gotham, and why anyone carries cash in Gotham

Aw damn. Oh well then. Glas they got everyone else to reprise their roles at the very least

AZRAEL DID NOTHING WRONG
