New Batgirl BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT DLC Announced

Wait wait wait, "Developed by WB Montreal using the engine created by Rocksteady"

So the people who made Arkham Origins is making the DLC? Pass...

Ben a fleck saw this image and now demands to star in and direct the batgirl v. supergirl spin off.

After seeing how worthless the Rocksteady guys are at writing a plot or making a competent story based DLC, [frick]ing hallelujah they're not working on this at least. It actually has a shot of being good.

Seriously, the Harley & Red Hood packs were utter shit and AK plot is beyond retarded.

Now I'm glad I didn't buy the season pass.

I thought AK was pretty awesome. Some of the story could've been better but that's the case with most games.

@ManCalledSting

Could be worse. Barbara could have hooked up with Bruce like in BTAS.

@LEVITIKUZ

Tbf Bruce didn't know her until she was already an adult in DCAU, like in college. If he knew her from when she was younger then that would've been weird.


@MrMartyMarvel

Because Marvels got him deadlocked on those piece of shit Marvel animated shows. Hell, after the way Origins turned out I'd have been fine if those guys got a shot at writing the plot.

I loved that SPOILER....












































Jason was the Arkham Knight. He works better as a villain than a hero.

But that ending though! Honestly would have preferred if Bruce actually DID die instead of telling everyone he loves to go [frick] themselves in order to protect them…only to come back as Batman several months/years later.

I loved tim being with Barbara but knight was 9 months after city; he was 16 in city meaning he's 16 or 17 now marrying someone in her mid twenties, which is in most states faced with legal issues because of the implication that there's more going on, and her father is the commissioner of police who's constantly under pressure and being watched by the city council but he's okay with it

@LEVITIKUZ

Well, it goes without saying that that moment was orgasmic! It's just the majority of everything else in the ending I didn't like.

@LEVITIKUZ

One of the few good parts of the story, hate basically everything else. The overly grim dark tone, the ubber assholish Batman, way too much Joker, shoe horning in the Batmobile into [frick]ing everything, the game constantly telling you what to do through Batman inner monologuing every 2 minutes...

Yeah if only the PC version was working I might be able to play it...

@LEVITIKUZ

Would love to see WB/DC touch on that stuff in the movies

Especially, the psychological aspect of Bruce Wayne, and the tole being Batman has taken on him over the years, not physically but psychologically

The Batman/Joker stuff in Arkham Knight was definitely the highlight for me

@DrKinsolving

Joker and Scarecrow's characterization in this game was [frick]ing epic. I didn't think Joker would be as involved as he was. I mean I knew he may cameo but I didn't expect Hamill to come back and have this big of a role.

Also Noble's Scarecrow was beyond epic for me. It's strange I enjoyed Noble's Scarecrow just as much as Hamill's Joker. I thought Crane was just an epic villain and also how he played on fears of Batman and Gordon without using fear gas was cool. When I say the fears of Batman, I mean kidnapping Barbara and Tim.

But still those 2 were so epic in the game. Best 2 villains in the whole Arkham series. Only wish we could have gotten a Scarecrow fight like we did in Asylum and in the beginning playing as the cop.

I really hope WB games doesn’t just make Batgirl a palette swap for Catwoman. They did it in Arkham Origins when playable Deathstroke was basically a Robin-clone (staff and all).

I was disappointed to say the least.

@LEVITIKUZ

I can't really agree on the Batmobile, personally I feel its wholly unnecessary. He can fly in this game for all intents and purposes plus he has a god damn jet he calls with utter ease several times so why even have a tank/car thing at all?

That's like giving Superman or Spider-Man a mandatory vehicle to drive, they don't need it and neither does this Batman. Plus the tank combat & Riddler challenges with it were either annoying or boring.


I was hoping for something else than the generic Batman finale of him facing a bad guy that just spouts the same bullshit of "You bring death and ruin to everyone around!" that's basically been run into the [frick]ing ground the past 5 years.

A better story would've been Batman actually overcoming his flaw of not letting people get close, accepting that he's not alone and starting up Batman INC. Arkham City already broke Batman by putting you in a place constructed solely by virtue of his existence plus killing Talia & Joker.

There was no need to break him even more, instead, the story should've been about Batman building himself up and emerging from this both a better person and crime fighter as a result. But nope, Batman is forced to fake his death (for the 5th [frick]ing time in the last 5 years), will never see any of his friends or allies ever again and probably die a sad, pathetic, lonely piece of shit. What a way to go.

Seriously, am I the only guy who wants Batman to at least go out happy or is everyone such a DCAU dick sucker now they simply have to find a way to Batman Beyond his retirement somehow? Batman's in the same spot as Daredevil was a few years ago, a guy people love to break over and over without properly rebuilding afterward. That's why this story was completely and unnecessarily dark.

I know this is s a barely comprehensible rant but [frick] man, I hate this game that much. Its so generic 2010s Batman it feels like fan-fiction, and not the good kind where the writer put some thought into it. The kind written by a teenager who's so in love with Batman and the angst of Batman he has to put every bullshit recent cliche of his into a singular product.

Hell the seemingly cash grab prequel no one asked for (Origins) turned out to be infinitely better written, more fun to play and actually had three character arcs happen in the span of its plot. That's 3 more in a single game than Rocksteady ever had in their 3 entire games.
