They made another batman game? Is Joker the bad guy in this one too?

He is apparently, but in your brain, man

Because he died at the end of the second game

They are really afraid to not include joker lol

y'know what the first two games owned bones

-traverse around a cool imposing-looking gothic environment, great atmosphere
-light yet deep and satisfying combat
-fluid stealth with a lot of options for taking out dudes, who get terrified as more and more of their buddies get knocked out/disappear
-the second game feels really huge and the traversal actually feels great


then they released the third game which was... OK but I was kinda sick of the formula by that time

and now the 4th is kinda more of the same sooooooo

It's just hilarious to me that they found a way to shoehorn Joker back in. Just completely out of ideas I guess. And as a bonus it completely deflates the ending to City.

Is the Joker actually still alive or is it some Batman Beyond thing where he's in someone's head?

I want an Arkham Beyond game set in cyberpunk Gotham

he is literally in Batman's head and you apparently have to fight him off throughout the game, in your brainspace

you fight a bunch of Jokers in the alley where bruce wayne's parents died, but in batman's brain lol

Does it really matter? He's in the game either because they couldn't think of anything else, or they are sure that the people who buy this game would pitch a fit otherwise.

The way to make the next game fresh is to set it in the 60s Adam West batman show IMO

Get West to record some lines before he gets too old; get on it you jerks

i only buy games years after they have been released and only buy them based on the box art because that is more reliable than the opinions of freaky internet weirdos who are super duper emotionally invested in their video game purchase. ill be playing single player, console, offline

Oh I played the poo poo out of that. Arrows were great, but catapults were even better. Lol if you never beat entire levels by destroying everything in the whole level by just firing your catapult wildly for an hour straight and then walking your King Arthur slowly through the burnt-out remains, just lol.

Before Batman: Arkham Knight, I didn't think I needed to play another Batman game. Blame the sour taste left by Arkham Origins, blame plain old Batman fatigue, but I didn't have a burning desire to don the cowl again.

I was an idiot.
