Alien Arcana posted:It's especially grating with Talia because it doesn't even have the fig leaf of "fitting her character." Like, sure, Catwoman's a shameless flirt, Poison Ivy uses sex appeal as a weapon, and Harley Quinn is just nuts; it's still the writers' fault for emphasizing those traits, but at least it makes sense in-universe. What's Talia's excuse? I don't actually know much about her outside this game, but she comes across as competent and reasonably sane. Did she hear Bruce was coming and decide to vamp it up? Sure, she comes across as reasonably sane. After the first test tube baby she made without Bruce's consent went over to the good guy side to fight crime, she made a second one. The second one was gestated in the body of a whale. So, sure. Reasonably. Kal-L posted:Also, dscruffy1, with that latest accidental death you've gone from Dick Grayson Batman to Jean Paul Valley Batman. Just make sure you don't go all the way down to Bane Batman. This game is harder than I make it look sometimes  I would just cut the stuff out but people might want to see death interludes or something, or reminders that IT'S STILL HARD MODE. Besides getting punched in the face repeatedly. dscruffy1 fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Dec 4, 2014 |

No mere human placenta can handle more than one child of Batman's. e: I haven't seen it mentioned, but one of the the things I seriously love about the predator sections in this game is that it gives you a variation bonus for experiences, so I have a lot of fun trying to take down all the thugs in as many different ways as possible. It doesn't feel right unless I take out thugs in at least three or four different ways. ManlyGrunting fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Dec 4, 2014 |

Talia's costume is bad, no question, but why is she walking that way? Did she injure her feet? Her legs? Is it supposed to be sexy? Talia's walk should be confident, strong. Like a lioness. Maybe the pants are just too tight . . .

not sure why people are annoyed at the batmobile having guns when it has had guns and missiles and other poo poo in almost all of the movies and frequently elsewhere it has appeared arkham knight features the batmobile prominently, they need poo poo for you to do in it, drones and unmanned vehicles are a big deal right now in popular media/culture/politics so hey blow up some robotanks and poo poo with it. That's it who cares

To be fair, the last time he did that was in the Invisibles, and it apparently lead to him solving his blue balls problem. I don't recall there being an appeal to folks wanking it to a sigil of the bat-signal though.

Those helicopters have poo poo aim anyway. I glided away from one in a straight line and it hit everything except me.

That's it who cares But seriously, like I said, all things considered, I can kinda see Batman having Urban Warfare Batmobile prepared just in case - it's just, compared to the previous games, it's seems a little out of place. That's it. Now, Talia. I suppose they gave her this outfit because her default getup looks like she stole it from the Catwoman  But still, yeah, I agree - it's pretty bad.

I just hope those are unmanned. Or is Arkham Knight Batman taking the same approach to killing people that Kira Yamoto is "Nobody should die, except battleships, because gently caress YOU if you climb into a battleship."

I presume Talia visited Elektra's wardrobe? At least leather trousers and jacket is more practical, but it's general trend of Bats in other media.

So, seeing as no one else mentioned it so far: All those strung up bodies at the entrance of Wonder City were the Lunatics and High Secuity Henchmen from the first game. Now you know why you haven't been encountering them in-game!

Other than that, the owls aren't shown in a bad light. In the starter town there are pictures of them on someones wall and we see them in a few other spots. Oh no, Gotham's madness is seeping into the thread!
