Gotham is canonically the worst city in the world, and that's even after Batman started cleaning things up

>>719037430
Gotham is a corrupt shithole and in the games, the mayor was his pawn

>>719037430
You'd be safer in Haiti than in Gotham.

>>719037693
>the mayor was his pawn
And the rest of the US government is just OK with this?

>>719037693
That's a prawnblem.

>>719037993
The US Gov is borderline insane in DC, the gov created the Bat-Devil while working with GCPD

>>719037993
Canonically, the US government has given zero fucks about what happens with Gotham. Just look at the No Man's Land storyline.

Didn't the collection of Asylum & City remasters have the Joker missions?

I don't know but it takes zero effort to mod it into the steam release.

And the funny thing is that Batman does collect them all. He can't just roll his eyes and let it go.

>>719038967
Pic related is unironically pulling from Arkham for its basic gameplay systems. The combat looks basically identical to Arkham, stealth looks similar, and you have a pretty open Gotham map. Unlockable batsuits as well.

>>719038293

At this point I'm not sure how he doesn't get daily beatings from regular goons while he's trying to place his crap

>>719039521
Because Riddler has hostages he's torturing to death the entire time

>>719039456
The gameplay is fun with the different abilities and switching between characters. The boss fights were cool too. Biggest problem is that lootbox screens and the massive amount of grind involved. I haven't played the DLCs yet.

>>719039521
The nigga is talking shit across the entire city, in knight he flat out has intercoms insulting you every five seconds for everyone to hear

>>719039773
Not in Asylum IIRC

>>719039889
Yeah but any second he’s out there, he’s a danger to the public, he’s compelled to

>>719039709
that game needs to try and make a bunch of music that is a mixture of the arkham games and the nolan movies and the old movies.

>>719038879
i wouldn’t buy this even if were on sale for a penny.

It's actually incredible how dense the map was in spite of it's size. It kinda makes me wish we had more like that, far too often we get gigantic maps with very few things inbetween or a lot of it just being pointless busywork.

>>719039889
When you finish the last riddle in Asylum he claims he's got a riddle for all of Gotham which, knowing him, was almost certainly going to get people killed if the cops didn't arrive 10 seconds later

It's explicitly named the worst city in the world crime wise.
There are irl metro areas where 6% of all deaths are murders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rate) and Gotham is supposedly worse than that.
The unrealistic aspect is that there is still far too much industry and fancy locations for how crime ridden it is. If they wanted to keep it consistent Gotham should be derelict social housing projects only but it wouldn't look good and it is a comic book.

>>719041276
>It's explicitly named the worst city in the world crime wise.
Bludhaven is worse

>>719037430
Gotham is so corrupt that its level of corruption is beyond compare for the real world. It's literal cartoon levels.

>>719041276
>There are irl metro areas where 6% of all deaths are murders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_homicide_rate)

>>719041608
Nigger in the DC universe canon Gotham is so fucking bad that the US government essentially labels it a defacto no mans land and doesn't get involved. It's like Omega-Somalia except with more rich people

No Man's Land happened after a huge earthquake trashed the city and they wanted nothing to do with anyone who didn't evacuate when given the chance. And in the end it's all a ploy by Lex Luthor to buy up all the real estate on the cheap.

>>719041276
Top kek, who names a city like that?

>>719041824
>What's the solution here?
It's a faux pas to discuss that

>>719041475
>Bludhaven is worse
Where?

>>719041865
Phonetically sounds Zulu, probably a majority Zulu speaking city

>>719041824
Cartels and back to back Revolutions

>>719041939
It's where Nightwing operates, it's a wharf town not far from Gotham. It was basically modeled on those insanely dangerous wharf cities from early Victorian England.

>>719038879
This is one of those games you should be paid to play, not the other way around

>>719041824
When the criminal syndicates become more powerful than the government it's basically game over for your country. There is essentially no way to dig yourself out, you can't put them down militarily directly because they outpower you and even if you wanted to, at that stage they will defacto control elections and candidates anyway so the leaders will always be on their side.

It's a lesson for everyone to learn about letting criminality go without effective reproach for too long.

>>719036997
Did you not play the game?
Not everyone there is a criminal, many innocent people got thrown there because they were opposing Arkham City project, and one of them is Bruce Wayne

>>719037430
If you want a canonical answer, Arkham Asylum and City already explained it
>Hugo Strange uses Mad Hatter's technique to brainwash Quincy Sharp and turn him schizophrenic, who thinks he's Amadeus Arkham (the founder of Arkham Asylum)
>Ra's Al Gul backs up Hugo's plan by providing him finances because he knows who Batman is, hence how he got a whole armed army
>while Mayor Sharp (under Hugo's influence) allows the project, because he views criminals as subhumans that needs to be wiped out

We never got this Copperhead again

>>719037639
>Gotham is canonically the worst city in the world
wrong thats hub city

People give Arkham knight a lot of shit for having a dumb plot as if city’s plot made sense

>>719044997
Well of course it was also dumb but Knight keeps shouting "Noooo play along!!!!" with its story while City is just "Well it's dumb but whatever, go solve it"

why don't they just nuke all of Gotham instead of making things more complicated with setting up a prison district and taking political prisoners

>>719045617
wasn't the cult of assassins or whatever eco terrorists

>>719044997
Scarecrow was a much, much better villian than Hugo was, and probably one of the best iterations of his character
Makes me wonder if Dini were to be the one to write Knight, would Scarecrow still have a bigger role or not

>>719045320
What hell are you blabbing about?

>>719045701
>What hell are you blabbing about?
The part about having to act retarded about the Knight's identity, motives and modus operandi for a good chunk of the game
Meanwhile the stupidity of most stuff relating to City wouldn't really change how the Bat has to solve them

>>719045792
>The part about having to act retarded about the Knight's identity, motives and modus operandi for a good chunk of the game
Bats did try his best to figure out who is Arkham Knight. From looking at the inmates, staff, and people who are connected to Hugo.
It's not his fault he didn't realize that the enemy he was facing is his dead sidekick

Why is Batman so autistic that he won't allow himself to use his equipment properly until he earns enough WayneTech upgrade points that he completely fabricated himself?

>>719036152
Hugo Strangebeard

>>719041824
For Brazil the only way to have hard instance on crime on all layers of society, taht means harshly punishing criminals, drug dealers and corrupt politicians and to also redirect funds to develop poor areas and states. I am not saying to give those lazy fucks money but you got to get rid of the favelas somehow. here in São Paulo they are slowly getting rid of all the favelas and building new places for the poorfags to live and hopefully this will cut some of the crabs in a bucket culture that all favelas have.

However this probably might never happen untill the current old heads of politics die and we have some sort of new constitution because our laws are all retarded and most politicians are corrupt in one way or another, some a little less than others. Like shit one of our supreme court judges got fucking Magnitsky'd recently and I hope all of them get fucked by it.

>>719035745 (OP)
what is so strange about hugo anyways

>>719041276
>The unrealistic aspect is that there is still far too much industry and fancy locations for how crime ridden it is.
I always preferred Grant Morrison's interpretation that Gotham is not THAT bad outside of its poor areas, the rich side is basically Las Vegas, relatively safe and even a popular tourist destination for its sleazy reputation.

>>719045320
In what way? What proof do you have that the story isn't meant to be taken seriously? Batman's one true love dies in the ending for Pete's sake.

>>719045701
Scarecrow in knight would be a better villain if they actually gave him something to do during the game. You don’t even get a boss fight against him. The games more interested in hallucination joker and shitty redhood

>>719043464
>>719043820
This is such a cool detail in the games that you don't get to see if you are somewhat competent. Every single major villain has them
I only got to know they existed cuz of a streamer replaying these games

>>719041276
I thought the city where The Question originally operated was actually way worse than Gotham
>>719046405
Gotham is canonically in New Jersey so probably it's a mix of New York, Jersey City and Atlantic City? it also borders Metropolis which is sometimes set in Delaware

>>719046082
Send this man to the Asylum immediately

>>719046082
No you see, it's important that he goes into this super villain baby jail with just some shitty throwing knives and a hook while escorting a highly dangerous bad guy he knows to be plotting something that will happen where he's going. It's also important that he has none of the Batkids for back-up while ho does all this.

>>719035745 (OP)
>brutally mogs every other arkham game

>>719046082
Probably because he doesn't kill and the technology he wants to use, while handy, isn't very reliable without practice.

>>719037430
The same reason why there exitsts a magical pit of ooze that resurrects the dead and makes you immortal

>>719037430

I like it but I don't think it's the best. It mostly feels like a City DLC. The batsuit is probably the best compromise between a tacticool "realistic" suit and a comic book suit.

>>719038657
technically no, the mac edition has them, the ps3 version has them, the ps4 version has them, and you can tard wrangle the windows version to have a somewhat functional version with some mods

Both ps4 and xbone versions of the remaster have joker. Fairly confident the switch port has it as well

>>719048136
yeah they use the return to arkham re release, which is weirdly worse than the original ps3 version because it breaks a bunch of materials, particularly around city

top kek

>>719041276
>The unrealistic aspect is that there is still far too much industry and fancy locations
I'd imagine every nice place is all owned by either the mob or Bruce Wayne. No one is reasonably investing in that city in a major way. In the no man's land story line the president literally cuts the city off from the mainland after an earthquake by blowing the bridges because the cost to fix it is not worth it because of how much crime and corruption there is.

>>719047384
Not exactly a high bar to reach

>>719039709
Honestly looking forward to it. I know it's a Lego babby game but I hope the gameplay is a LITTLE challenging. I really love batman

>>719052560
Gotham and the rest of the Batman mythos works best in pre ww2 setting

>>719052723
Once you get to the 80s Batman feels like outdated concept. The Dark Knight Returns gets this right

>>719047384
No. It doesn't have that indescribable "oopmh" that rocksteady was able to put in their games.

>>719052716
They're including difficulty levels. I think they know what they're doing. I'm way more pumped for this than I would have thought

>>719053917
Hell yea brother

>>719039709

Lego series always peaked with the Batman ones

What's the secret sauce to why the Arkham games are so good and why cant other capeshit replicate it?

You end up inheriting their kills and your kills also stack though. So you are even worse than two killers now, bucko.

Knight > Asylum > City

I miss Arkham origins online

>>719056710
Hush, much like the Long Halloween and Dark Victory, is enjoyable because of the drama and character chemistry. The mystery is the worst aspect because the twists can be retarded

Normal. Humans.

>>719037430
Hugo is insanely OP in the comics, possibly the most effective of the "sane" Batman villains, the Arkham version is actually pretty nerfed.
He rarely appears, but when he does he aways fucks shit up

>>719057569
I thought making arkham city was pretty mean of him

>>719057569
Give some examples anon

>>719057569
>wants to become batman himself
but why?

>>719035745 (OP)
It's amazing how those games usually take place in only one night. It's also amazing how Batman could solve most of it if he just KILLED THE JOKER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
And yes, I know about the hallucination in the van where he does snap joker's neck and basically confirm he would have let the joker die at the end of Arkham city but that was mainly the fear toxins speaking so fuuuuuck that

>>719057823
He's deluded himself into thinking that, since he managed to figure out his identity, he should wear the cowl by rights.

I enjoy the Bamham games but taking place in a single night is complete BS

>>719036152
Lmao

>>719038657
Asylum had it built in but didn't enable because??????
You only needed a different binary to access them.

>>719054567
as far as capeshit, Batman is supreme leader in aesthetic, lore, and villains
as far as mechanics, the Shadow of ___ games did a phenomenal job and are every bit as satisfying

>>719047751
>no tentacle rape scene
Lame.

So its obvious the franchise is bassicly fucled st this point, and the only way out would be to make a batman beyond game. The only question is, which studio should make it?

>>719058479
is this live action one piece from netflix? maybe i should give it a watch he looks shockingly on point like a borderline clone

I would rather shove 349 pennies into my pee hole than buy that trash.

>>719059082
No I think that's the actual actor his design is based on

>>719045701
The idea for Knight when Dini was still on was Scarecrow and Hush, who got sidelined hard in exchange for NOT JASON TODD (played by Jason Todd)

>>719059642
what can you even do with hush? poorly impersonate bruce wayne?

>>719059642
I don't think Scarecrow getting even more screentime would've been good desu, he already had a strong presence in 1 and his segments in Knight were unique enough

>>719059679
Beyond psychological warfare and extreme identity theft I don't know, but then again, I'm not Paul Dini.

>>719061421
>The Arkham Knight dynamic of these three is superhero kino.
Agreed, and it adds a layer on how much Bruce uses his funds and company to make gadgets that helps with crime fighting
I also wish modern WB uses Lucious more instead of blackwashing Jim. He's already the perfect black supporting character, no need to change Jim into one

>>719055012
The gangs in el salvador had mandated face/neck tats that also listed the specific crimes you have committed, particularly rape and murder. Obviously if you tried to get fake gang tats for some reason you would be skinned alive at minimum. That plus the gangs being basically broke in comparison to mexican cartels means that it was really easy to arrest everyone with gang tattoos and stop almost all crime. In any other country with more inconspicuous and financially succesful criminals it wouldn't necessarily fail but it would be way harder.

Its a legacy of the Spanish Empire
The states the locals inherited following its collapse were based around insitutions designed for the sole purpose of keeping an entrenched foreign elite in power while aiding them in the systematic looting of the regions economy and natural resources, which makes it very easy for any locals with the inclination to seize power and do the same

>>719050405

Batman treating Joker's death like the worst thing ever kind of pissed me off.
Talia? A woman who saved my life twice and I apparently have romantic feelings toward? Forget her.
Joker? A man who is dead because he destroyed the cure for a disease that he gave himself, and who also killed Talia? I will mourn him forever.

>>719059679
He was in the process of stealing wayne's money in what little we saw of him. It's conceivable you have him use the cash and stolen waynetech to arm the criminals and conquer the city, since he believes the city to belong to the Waynes and he coveted what Bruce had. This naturally puts him in conflict with batman, who he'd ironically not know the identity of despite his access to waynetech which should tip him off.
>>719076591
He had mad clown disease at the time

>>719076591
His thoughts linger on Joker only because he has joker disease.
He does mourn Talia briefly if you visit her evidence display in GCPD, and a lot of his behavior during Knight is influenced by her death. It's a big part of him sidelining Robin, because he's terrified of losing another.

>>719035745 (OP)
I wonder how the new DCU movie would ruin him.

You know, despite the shit it got, i really enjoyed this story as a What If/Elseworlds anyway

>>719076591
Joker represents the fact that he can't truly save everyone. His one, guiding faith is that all humans have kindness in them and deserve justice. By having Joker never redeemed means that not everyone deserves to live. That shook his core morality.

>>719077879
>His one, guiding faith is that all humans have kindness in them
are you sure you're not talking about some other superhero? Batman sure as well knows most of his enemies can't be recuperated. In fact Iceman is one of the few villains he actually has hope for. He has zero faith on some one like say victor szaz.

>>719045701
Scarecrow had a good VA performance and a cool design, but that's it. Otherwise it was just more of the same shit he's gotten for decades - he's back with a super duper potent fear toxin, the story centers around the fear toxin rather than him, then it ends with him getting a taste of his own medicine. Bit of a letdown considering how great he was in Asylum.

>>719047090
Haven't read too many Question comics, but the impression I got was that Hub City was bad because it was just a failed system that's so corrupt and broke that there's no hope of improving the infrastructure.

>>719079916
>He's not insane, he's just a zombie
He's absolutely insane apart from being a zombie. He's obsessed with his nursery rhyme. Also Origins Blackgate shows he has an obsession with tearing people's heads off for some reason
>None of them are insane, they're just psychopaths
Psychopathy is insanity retard. Insanity means not being of a sane mind, sane minds have empathy and sympathy, meaning psychopathy is insanity much like sociopathy and anti-social behaviour are too. Regardless Firefly is a pyromaniac which is a separate mental illness (if he were just a psychopath he wouldn't be obsessed with fire to the point where he has burns all over his body and enjoys it), Scarecrow obviously has some mania that leads to his obsession with fear, and Riddler has OCD and delusions of grandieur as well as daddy issues as seen in Knight. Killer Croc deserves to be in a lab trying to heal his condition and Calendar Man IS just a psychopath who should have just gone back to the gas chamber after the Blackgate Incident in Origins

That's a lame excuse and everyone knows it. We all know Batman stopped killing people when Joker kept "dying" during his early appearances and DC didn't want to keep coming up with asspulls to explain why their popular villain somehow cheated death - again.
I would be more open to an explanation like, "He just likes to play on hardmode, bro." Catching the criminals alive brings him personal satisfaction even though it demonstrably makes the world a worse place.

>>719080143
Mental illness =/= insane. Psychopathic criminals are almost always in prisons, not mental hospitals

>>719080801
Nah, it makes sense that Batman may not be comfortable taking the roles of judge, jury and executioner considering his obsession with justice. This isn't his fault, it's the fault of the retarded DC universe governments which for some reason only do executions on days where big breakouts happen. If Gotham had just thrown Joker into the gas chamber or used the electric chair like he was about to do in Origins, Batman would have zero issues about it

>>719080819
>mental hospitals
Those are not the same as asylums. You have no idea. Actual asylums are banned now but that is where they would have sent psychopathic serial killers to in the old days. Asylums are a far worse place to be incarcerated than a prison.... far far worse place.

>>719081047
"Asylum" is just an archaic term for mental hospital. Asylums didn't go away. They were simply renamed to hospitals. That's why Arkham is now called "Arkham State Hospital" in modern Batman adaptations, since it's more realistic

>>719081232
>Asylums didn't go away

>>719081329
The literal asylum that inspired Arkham Asylum, Danvers State Hospital, was only shut down in 1992. The most infamous asylum of all time, the literal namesake of the word "bedlam", is still use today

Do you know why they changed the name? Human rights weren't given to the occupants of asylums.

They also have a great dynamic in Origins Blackgate and in her/Riddler's sidequest in Knight

>>719080576
>Psychopathy is insanity retard.
If that were the case, shouldn't villians like the Penguin gets sent to Arkham Asylum instead of Blackgate because they are psychos?
Riddler and Scarecrow are too sane (in comparison to other villains) to belong in an Asylum

>>719080576
>Psychopathy is insanity retard
Wow, you're fucking retarded lol. "Insanity" is an extremely strict legal definition where a criminal is definitively concluded to have been in a psychotic state of mind during the crime. Only schizophrenics suffering extreme hallucinatory delusions could ever successfully plea insanity

How did he expect to expand the prison cities to other states when the endgame plan for Arkham City was always an "oopsie daisy, looks like the prisoners have complete control and have started violent gang wars. I need authorization to bomb them all"

One time Harley got cleared and released from Arkham only to have a series of unlikely events drive her over the edge into putting the suit back on. Batman rounds her up and sends her back to Arkham, of course, but the sentiment between them is that he's glad she made it this far and hopes that next time it will stick.

Batman cares. It's just "supervillain redeems and goes straight" doesn't do well when they inevitably have to go bad again in the neverending story format of modern comics.

>>719072365
Most likely it needs a voiceprint on top of the password.

She was sick and did some awful things. One time she even manipulates Batman into a deathtrap by pretending she's reached her limit and is going to rat out Joker's latest plan. Arkham Harley just doesn't get the screentime showing she could be a normal person again.

>>719085053
>Interesting that BtAS Harley is practically an innocent manipulated woman
Ehh, she still personally tortured Tim Drake (who was a kid). Even more evil than Arkham Harley. The truth is, Harley was always Bruce Timm's pet, so she was always having her crimes downplayed

So like, did falling into a vat of acid also make Joker a 200 iq genius with immense expertise on chemistry and neurotoxins or was he just always like that.

>>719086079
I don't doubt it, but is it ever explicitly stated Harley was involved with Jason Todd and the daycare? It doesn't really matter since she was obviously complicit anyways but I still think seeing Harley personally torture Tim Drake is more visceral than anything Harley ever did in the Arkham games, unless I'm forgetting something

>>719086394
no that was the tiny sliver of toon power that he unlocked by becoming a clown

>>719076008
It's been centuries, fuck off.

really nigga?

>>719086394
You'd be amazed what you can achieve when you have the right motivation and don't give a shit about what people will say.

>>719086394
I guess Joker is like Walter White or the guy from Law Abiding Citizen. It's movie logic of "if you have nothing to lose, you gain superhuman abilities"

>>719086394
In his very first appearance, when he was just a guy in greasepaint and a clown aesthetic, he was already a master of disguise, deadly chemicals, elaborate plans to kill people and enough of a pugilist to take a round with Batman.

So Joker has always been super-villain tier and the chemicals are just an excuse for why a down and out comedian suddenly unlocks his true potential (by driving him insane).

>>719078674
Presentation is everything. Do you really want girlboss Harley Quinn, who in this continuity has killed children gleefully, moralfagging to Batman about how he causes harm to everyone he's around? Not to mention the fact that you're introducing the Justice League to this continuity just to shit on them.

>>719081814
Arkham Talia sucks and is retarded.

>>719057532

>>719058425
I would fuck the shit outta her if able

>>719085385
The only thing BTAS confirms Harley was in on was the actual kidnapping. Beyond that, all of the torture is treated as something Joker did, particularly given that Joker says that Tim only told him the secrets.

>>719056710
tower of babel has the funny Batman face

>>719087368
Uh, they explicitly show her torturing him in the movie. Joker called them a “family”

>>719054954
I wonder who benefits from teaching everyone that killing evil people is bad.

>>719087730
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ10Klg1wck

Joker is the only one shown torturing him. Harley only ever hits him with a hammer when they first capture him and, aside from that, all dialogue suggests that only Joker was in on it.

>"Okay, so he roughed the kid up a bit."
>"He began to share such secrets with me. Secrets that are mine and mine alone to know, Bruce."

>>719085403
The game never indicates it's an actual time limit. It clearly only changes after specific story missions. It's just building up anticipation.

>>719087492
>I LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK

Superman lobotomizing the villains was a good middle ground.

>>719047495

>>719088279
God I feel old

>>719086904
Tbf I think Talia being an awful character is intentional. It shows that Batman clearly has a thing for toxic women, Catwoman despite her being a criminal and early on being a doublecrosser is very much ready to help Batman yet he brushes her aside for Talia, who doesn't give two fucks about Bruce beyond wanting a heir for her father.

Also it isn't just about presentation. Killing off Batman and the Justice League in the first place is the most retarded move that can be done in a DC game, and worst of all it was done purely for political purposes, because the soifucks behind the game feel represented by the SS and see the JL as villains like the commies they are. But of course they had to change it to be copies of the JL after realizing nobody gives a fuck about their delusional fanfiction. And now the game is dead regardless

>>719088558
Not really. Arguably the lobotomy is much worse, it only gets a pass because it technically isn't murder. You still destroy any potential or hopes the person had, make them disabled and force them to experience a lower level of existence as the world watches, and has to take care of them. They aren't even able to end their own suffering. Even the cops would rather shoot you, and many would argue that any afterlife would be better than this while still removing the threat.

>>719087492
The context is more stupid than I imagined

>>719089704
Superman lobotomies leave you perfectly capable, even joker was still having fun.

>>719090065
Ah yes how could I forget that Superman is a neurosurgeon capable of using his laser beam eyes to precisely cut off the 'bad' part of brain, that's why they're all in a mental institution and not jail cells and its supposed to be a horrifying tyrant moment when JLA cartoon shows it.

>>719090223
He did a pretty good, since they're not dead or paralyzed. And they don't gotta be in cells anymore because they're safe to be around now. If JL superman stopped there he'd still be a hero, unfortunately, like batman fears for himself, he started doing more good than was needed.

>>719090430
>And they don't gotta be in cells anymore because they're safe to be around now.
Because they were made invalids on state's dime. They're shown absolutely stunned by TV static, lined up uniformly.

As I said it's technically not murder since they can still move about, but it is very inhuman to do that to people. It's revenge, not punishment, since the resulting being cannot comprehend his crimes or his punishment.

Inflicted by invincible space alien based on his own sense of right and wrong, it is invariably a display of cruelty and tyranny that killing in self-defense or defense of others can't ever match.

>>719090789
Forgot it was just static, maybe he was still learning with those ones. Well, if villains like the joker can never be executed for legal reasons then I don't see another option besides super lobotomies.

>>719091032

This is generally why Golden and Silver age stories are much better, they haven't jumped the shark by turning all of Batman's rogues into terrorists. Clown doing crime, clown themed, is one thing. Clown putting thousands into a coffin with chemical weapons because he's le crazy gay for bamham is entirely another.

Not only is it a bad story since the villain never gets a meaningful comeuppance, it consistently tries to excuse the lack of foil with some sort of allusion to mental illness, as if implying that the system is complicit in all the murders by refusing to stop these people. With some driven mad by the system itself, it even makes Batman look bad by consistently putting them into the system.

Mental illness made them all do terrorism? Wow, maybe all mentally ill people are secretly evil.
We can't protect ourselves from mentally ill terrorism because liberal law won't let us do anything but put them into asylum? Wow fuck liberal courts and human rights.

At the very least, many villains in Arkhamverse die after they're foiled, often by their own hubris more than batman.

Serious question, what the hell was the long term goal for arkham city? How exactly did Ra's expect to set up super prisons around the country when the fucking flagship location turned into a literal mass grave within the first year of operation? And what would his explanation be after it happened a second time? Was he planning on everyone just going along with open air death camps for criminals because "lol, lmao"? Was he going to have Strange brainwash everyone in the country? What the fuck was the plan?

Remember when Batman could crack jokes?

>>719092337
The plan was for Strange to kick Batman's ass and replace him as Ra'as's heir. They'd come up with some other way to fuck up the earth, these super prisons weren't the ultimate plan for that.

That's why they did it in Gotham the first time, not in Ohio, and even then they had to brainwash the mayor and buy and kill off the opposition.

>>719092474
But they talk about other locations already being planned

>>719092557
If I remember right, it was just for the public. Hugo killed anyone who helped him create the city, so he didn't really have a team to repeat it elsewhere.

I'd excuse all of her crimes if she did that ...to me.

>>719093358
Agreed. Batman's biggest nemesis isn't Joker, it's Gotham. They always fail to portray that and the Arkham games are sadly no exception. Maybe Knight gets close though

>>719094661
There's an issue of Legends of the Dark Knight where Gotham is alive and it loves Batman

>>719094713
>Harley

>>719094820
even on my first playthrough of City I did this to her

How did this completely random human with no ties to Wayne corps figure it all out before anyone else anyways?
His only accomplice was a literal brain damaged old dude too.

>>719094713
Holy shit, she didn't even try to hit Batman with that hammer, she literally just runs past.

>>719095565
She's not the sharpest tool in the shed

>>719035828
>>719068231
What part of this is funny? Why isn't it banned for low effort or spamming?

>>719095941
Indeed she only uses BLUNT weapons.

>>719037993
Ra's Al Ghul had pawns in the government.

This is why you beta-test your gadgets befoee you take them to the field.

>>719096403
Shut it, nerd. Nobody asked you

>>719093358
Yeah but what if Joe Chill had been had been a younger Joker who got sloppy early in his crime career and killed 2 people accidentally while trying to steal a few bucks all along?

>>719055184
All of that shit has been animated?
wtf even Red Son?

>>719096978
No no no, what if he was a mobster who assassinated the Wayne's for not working with the mob??

>>719035745 (OP)
>19 hours ago
>Protocol 10 still hasn't commenced
Shit villain

>>719093932
I'm not saying Harley is excusable. I'm saying the movie went out of its way to distance her from the actual torture.

>>719097118
Just like the video game

Why haven't they changed Joker to a black queer with tattoos and some physical disability yet

Even if you dial power levels and such down, how do you excuse the no kill rule when he has villains such as the Croc and Zsasz who are just legit too far gone maniacal murderers and ones like Capone and the Penguin who are fully in control of the bad things they're doing?

>>719042963
I don’t give a shit that she would kill me as soon as it happened, but I would love to motorboat her tits

>>719038974
>due process, the justice system and the very concept of law are all SHIT!!!!

This is correct though.
You know absolutely nothing about this world if you believe otherwise.

Copperhead was such a retard
>I got the opportunity to poison my target who I need to kill!
>I also know he's extremely dangerous!
>I know, instead of the killing posion, I'll use the stupid hallucinagen instead!

>>719098036
That *is* the poison, genius.

>>719092808
And here I thought that that guy was just unable to draw different bodytypes

>>719098069
We have shit lying around IRL that are 50 times more effective than the crap she uses in game even before they're processed or mixed in any way to increase potency

I'm playing Asylum again and it kinda feels clunky desu
Especially dodging against the stupid venom guys

Selina would be hotter with loger hair
There, I said it

>>719099649
OK, thank you for saying it. You're wrong though.

>>719035745 (OP)
NOT SO FAST STRANGE

>>719094713
Bless Assault on Arkham for giving us the Frost sexo design.

>>719086613
Only remotely scary part in AC and maybe all the games was the shark in the pool part and that was just because of the jump scare anticipation. It's not a scary series, and that's fine.

>>719085315
No lmao

>>719037693
Apparently the president as well and the supreme court, since a mayor does not have this authority.
Batman should have stopped at the white house after and threatened the president to stay out of Gotham after he okay'd that.

why are batman villains so iconic compared to every other superhero? like everyone and their mother knows who the joker is, maybe they also know bane, freeze and penguin

>>719037993
The US government is silly in the DC Universe and is also treated as this omnipotent entity that could destroy the multiverse if it wanted.

Thank DC's obsession with the fat black lady being God.

waller is nothing compared to cyborg when he is a glowie

>>719035745 (OP)
I'm more curious how they successfully evicted half the city and didn't cause a complete collapse of its economy overnight and insane levels of homelessness.

>>719103236
At least he has fucking super powers so him being that way isn't utterly emasculating to all other characters. Waller literally defeats the point of super heroes because why would you need them if the government is already omnipotent?

>>719096012
>He said something I don't like! BAN HIM!
Go back

>>719103238
they purposefully took the shittiest part of gotham, most people there were already criminals

>>719103238
Because it was already evacuated from an earthquake. Arkham City is No Man's Land Lite

Tragic

>>719106343
I would after I’m done with her

>>719035828
blk boy clitty? Most likely, while talking about it getting Bleached

What if Batman was stalking some thugs and he suddenly had to take a big shit?

>>719107457
he'd give the thug a bit of guano

>>719107457
Anon let's be real here: Batman controls his dietary intake so he can time his bowel movements to the minute and if he's ever somehow caught short he has total control over his sphincter so he only craps on command

>>719107702
Bat-bowel movement.

If you complain about Batman's no kill rule you are a brainlet.

>>719107457
He has bat-diapers on, duh

>>719100064
Even Batman himself knows this to be true, why do you think he fell for Ra's' daughter and not her?

I thought that he used all the cameras in the city to study your movement and the last boss battle would be against Strange, while he's in a Batsuit using every move you used in game.

Why doesn't Alfred get a cool costume

>>719111220
He's been in a relationship with Catwoman for years and they had a whole stupid arc about them getting married but not really because we can't change canon like that

>>719111359
He doesnt play hero or abide by a retarded code, hell dress well and beat you to death with a feather duster while getting a turkey ready

>playing Arkham Shadow for the first time
>talking with Gordon outside
>suddenly a gun shot
>Gordon takes cover
>I stand still and turn my head to the direction the shot came from and shoot my grapnel gun to get there

Everytime I watch someone play it, they crouch like a pussy when being shot at.

>>719111359
He wore a mask in the 1966 show when he was riding the Batmobile with Robin.

>>719103585
>>719103670
What the fuck

>>719111359
Does that Lego Batman movie count? He got one there

What the fuck was Rocksteady thinking with Suicide Squad?

>>719089953
I thought Tower of Babel was written by Morrison?

I bought Lego Batman games on sale years ago even though at the time i wasn't into Batman games nor lego
Guess it's time to play the games to prep for the next Arkham game
I hope they're as good

>>719112709
There's a new one coming
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOSHcvJy4ac

I never was a fan of the Lego games, but I will co-op this with my bro.

>>719035745 (OP)
Not on my watch, Dr. Strange!

>>719037430
>makeshift gulag
So what's the difference from the rest of Gotham?

>>719038257
Who decided who was a "criminal"? You meet a lot of ordinary people in Arkham City just shoved into the prison.

>>719038365
>nooo not the hecking billionaires and journalists

>>719038293
Imagining Riddler crawling around vents and pipes putting down trophies from a big backpack is funny.

>>719113183
He doesn't do that, he just hires people to do it.

>>719038293
>You WILL solve my riddles, and you WILL collect my trophies.

>>719042963
They did introduce an alternate Copperhead in the comics but I don't know if they did much with her

>>719113183
Riddler's too much of a pussy to do anything. He hires people to do his dirty work, even putting the explosive helmets on their heads in City
I doubt he even made his robots in Knight by hand

>Play Knight right after playing Origins
>not only did Rocksteady NOT ignore Origins, which wasn't developed by them, but they included many references to it and even some subplots following up on it

>>719042878
Bruce is a fucking billionare dude
it's like saying Elon Musk is an innocent person

>>719106348
lil batmonkey

>>719113573
It's one of my favorite Arkham games, I think they got the designs right, the story was really cool and Roger Craig Smith and Troy Baker were good. The only thing was it didn't introduce anything new really gameplay wise. Also the only game to have Bane which isn't a complete moron, and also his boss fight was great.

>>719037993
they're too busy sucking Superman's cock to care about Gotham

>>719035745 (OP)
why didn't he just started protocol 10 a soon batman was in arkham city or better yet put a nuke in the city and just detonate the whole place is he retarded ?

>>719113573
>Following up on it
Deathstroke called, he want his non tank boss fight back

>>719063670
Reminded me of Star Trek Into Darkness where they cast Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain, and immediately it went
>Is he playing Khan?
>No, he's playing a new character
>Are you sure he's not playing Khan?
>No, it's a totally unrelated and new character not related to Khan one bit
>Trailers and posters come out and it really looks like he's going to be Khan
>No, no no, he is Jim Habadab, an original character, we are NOT going to have a twist of him being Khan
>The movie comes out
>He's Khan.
What was even the point of the attempted subterfuge when absolutely nobody bought it for a second the ENTIRE TIME?

>>719047384
I like it but you don't have to go overboard, it's still very much a "tiding you over" game built on the bones of City.

>>719056096
Nah she was too plastic looking in City.

>>719051782
The first game is ok but fairly typical Telltale, but I actually liked the second one a lot, it told a good Batman story and did some clever things to have your choices actually feel impactful (where rather than altering the plot, it influences the nature of a specific character).

>>719051782
I liked both seasons.

>>719078876
>Oliver tries to take a no-kill stance in the second season after being ruthless the first season
>puts three arrows into Count Vertigo's chest and sends him off a skyscraper when he threatens Oliver's loved ones
That was rad

>>719067520
it's a lot of logistical shit to coordinate dude

>>719114497
if is supposed to be a master plan it means they already have all ready to begin, and even if they need more time at least 2 hours no 10

>>719088279
LIEK*

for me its Gotham Knights

>>719102624
>we have an open spot for a FROSTY female character who needs to be a real KILLER in Suicide Squad DLC
>we will have.....Mr. Freeze but as a woman! And gay!

>>719078876
I remember watching this when it aired and thinking they watched Raid

>>719114564
Nice water.

>>719113464
His side mission was so good
Wish Knight had something similar where you need to travel while flying through grappling gun

>>719113573
Worth mentioning they also lifted couple of thing from Arkham Origins
naming side missions as "Most Wanted", and the whole segment when you investigate Barbara's car crash in Knight is the same as when you investigate crime scene in Origins

>>719114949
it is absolutely inspired by the raid

>>719114826
My bro and me waited so long for this game, he played Nightwing and I was Red Hood and we even bought each other the shirts for birthday. The game was alright and had it's moments.

>>719115102
how long have you guys been dating

>>719115148
Like 22 years.

How in the hell do you fuck up a Batman game?

>>719057569
You think he's nattie or do you think he's been sippin the venom a bit.

>>719115519
Hugo was making Monster Men decades before anyone came up with Venom

>>719114826
even though everyone i said this game sucks, I still bought this game (for 2 bucks from key reseller) since i'm curious to see if it's bad as everyone said. People the batmobile stuff was bad in Arkham Knight, but I ended enjoying it so much
and also because court of owls as a main villain in a batman game sounds pretty cool

>>719115653
**people said the batmobile parts were bad

>>719115653
Play it online.

>>719115776
Can't
I got no one to play with

>>719115978
Maybe someone here will play it with you.

>>719092474
Isn't Ra's to gay for Batman to consider anyone else as his heir?

>>719116543
He only sees Batman as worthy as a heir
and he doesn't mind that Bruce is banging his daughter

>>719093787
Fuck off, Gordon
