What the hell do you have to do to get the "finish a predator challenge unseen" Worst Nightmare challenge, because it sure is poo poo isn't getting the "unseen" reward at the end of the encounter.

Part of it involves not using any loud takedowns at all. Not even on the last guy.

It's dumb, I know.

Every single one silent. I assume that them spotting a body is a deal breaker as well?

What's on your mind, Axa?
I got that one completely by accident trying to get the one for doing a grapnel accelerator takedown on two guys on a roof. In fact, I think it fired for me after I took down the first guy and before the second guy.

At least I never fell through the floor.

Did you finish the challenges leading up to this one? Because you apparently have to do those in order.

I could've gotten Shadow Vigilante ages ago had I realized I had to go slidekick into people.

Maybe it's just a poorly cut trailer but that looks really generic and boring. We've done the Joker has a scheme plot before. We've done the Batman fights a group of mercenaries plot before. I'll probably Redbox it anyway because I'm a whore for this franchise but I was hoping it was going to act as a prologue to Arkham Knight and not be another prequel story.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
God, this looks terrible from just about every direction. The character designs in particular are completely different- it feels like they got their normal production line to make a normal DVD DC comics "event", and had the arkham game made to give it a tie-in. Every part of the plot looks inconsistent with the main franchise.

Really, the only thing that movie seems to be adding to the Arkham series is Harley realizing her relationship is abusive.

Which is hardly anything new and makes HQR look even worse.

I seriously doubt is canon for the games, it looks more like they stuck the Arkham brand to a stand alone movie.

Well, I don't know about that. Deathstroke and Bronze Tiger aren't present, so perhaps there's still hope for a game.

If it helps any you don't have to take out his guys before you attack Penguin. Wait until they're on the upper level and you can swoop down to punch him.

I ended up saying gently caress it and using a trainer for infinite health. It would be a clever, interesting boss fight if the stealth mechanics didn't work so loving terribly.

I'm not a huge DC comics fan/sperg but when they rebooted the comics universe or something and DC made everyone follow their new rules Amanda Waller was no longer a larger woman. See the end of Origins, where she is clearly modeled after a skinnier woman, which contradicts the trailer above.

I am confused why you call it a fuckup when it was clearly the rest of DC that was loving up and that is the first thing to get it right.

Actually Waller is clearly not skinny in Origins. She is not not as fat as she is in the trailer but she is fairly chubby which can be really easily told when you see her full body. She is nowhere near Super Model Waller and is more around
this Waller with a thinner neck.

Take a look at the clip she is clearly has quite a bit of fat on her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mG9FrCGW6w

I think the Comic and Arrow are the only places were she is a super model right now. (Which is stupid and they should put some more meat on the Wall's bones in the comics really fast.)

She does actually look less like Arrow Waller now that I look at the clip again. The Origins version looks like a blend between the two.

Finally, just in time for the DLC:



I think this was attempt 6. Died a couple of times against Bane (once in the royal hotel, once right at the end), once against Firefly (completely forgot about the counter you have to do after you grapple onto him after beating him), and died a couple times to snipers (in the steel mill). Started a run today and was able to complete it. Legit run too (no restarting mid fight or anything).

It's really uncanny. Since Baker appears to be the new "official" animated Joker, I wish he had done a little more to make it his own instead of doing a straight Hamill impression, but as far as Hamill impressions go, it's solid.

On that note, I was shocked to see Kevin Conroy's name in the credits of that trailer. I know the man is almost 60, but holy moly ... Roger Craig Smith did a better Conroy in Origins than Conroy himself in that trailer.

Hate to break this to you my friend, but she has appeared in Live Action in Arrow. Also, the Green Latern Movie no-one saw. Which had her played by Angela Basset.
