Obligatory "were we supposed to hate character x?" post. I also enjoyed Catwoman. Not a huge fan of traversal though but not to the point that I'd avoid playing as her because of it. Her fighting style more than made up for it. You're like a whirling banshee and it's hilarious  Second favorite after Batman of all the characs

I didn't care for her dialogue, traversal, or moveset. I don't have anything against Catwoman as a character in general, but I don't like the way the games have used her. And to be honest, I've just never enjoyed playing as smaller, faster characters. I always pick the big, slow, heavy hitter where I have the option. I didn't like playing as Robin either (except for the noise his bo staff makes when he hits people, which is a precious, precious gift), although Nightwing and Deathstroke were alright.

Robin was my favorite to play as, though I often went back to Batman due to gadget options. Catwoman needs more thief tools in the sequel.

Robin was infuriating to play as. As slow as Batman but without all his neat gadgets and moves. Armored thugs in predator challenges were hell. I had fun with Catwoman and Nightwing though.

Narcissus1916 posted:Wasn't Deathstroke basically a copied move version of Robin? To some degree in combat, but they tweaked a few things as well- and a couple of his animations (like his combat backflip where he begins by folding his arms over his chest and trust falling backwards) are much more badass. His predator mode plays quite differently, iirc- much more agressive. Crappy Jack posted:I'm one of those crazies who actually really liked Catwoman, traversal mechanics and all. I mean, not the dialogue, because JESUS, but other than that. Catwoman was great in combat, painful in high-level predator mode. Top of the world extreme, I'm looking at you...

I don't mind them having slightly different ones, even lamer ones, but at least give them the same overall number! I still think it's neat that Nightwing in Injustice switches from the bo staff style to the eskrima sticks style. It's like switching from Arkham Robin to Arkham Nightwing! Although -100000 points for not getting around to giving him a Robin skin.

Getting through End Of The Line Extreme as Catwoman by treating it as a goddamn assault rather than a stealthy predator thing was so fuckin' satisfying. Much like this guy here does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhWJuYVL8zM

Holy hell, I missed that one.  the Arkhamvideos account is pretty much the place to see pro challenge mode strats, to say nothing of everything else of interest about Arkham games. Fun Fact: they did videos for every single challenge mode map for all the other games, but only did a few for Origins.. I wonder why...

Extreme predator maps are horribly imbalanced for non-Batman characters. If you can do 'em all, that's great but IMO they're more infuriating than they should be at times (esp. Catwoman's).

Catwoman's predator challenges are frustrating until you realize two things: She can run at full speed without making noise, and a whip trip + ground takedown works even on armored thugs. The one whose challenges took me forever to beat was Robin, mostly because he has no means of handling armored thugs at range other than a fully accelerated remote shuriken, and good luck doing that on any map other than End of the Line.

I just wish everyone had disarm and destroy; it should definitely be a core move imho. Sober posted:Extreme predator maps are horribly imbalanced for non-Batman characters. If you can do 'em all, that's great but IMO they're more infuriating than they should be at times (esp. Catwoman's). Predator sections with Catwoman get a lot easier if you remember all the context sensative takedowns, especially the Catwoman specific ones. Those tended to be rather powerful- room clearing possibly if you abuse them. I'm kind of a doofus tho, I've replayed the predator challenge maps with all sorts of self-imposed restrictions like no gargoyles, no detective mode, unique takedowns for all, all loud, etc so I can't be objective here when it comes to predator difficulty.

I really liked the DLC characters being more limited because I did them in the order they came out, so by the time I moved on from Batman I'd gotten pretty good at how his stealth works. You have to take more risks and get a little more creative with the other characters because they don't have answers to every possible situation like Batman does. Batman's almost broken in how many tools he has at his disposal. The only character who I felt was maybe underpowered was Catwoman since she only has three gadgets, but being able to sprint everywhere without making noise is really nice.

I've been paying approximately zero attention to all the release information around Arkham Knight but it seems pretty good so far. Won't be getting it on PC though, I've got this PS4 I should be doing things on instead of sitting next to my TV. Also I'm excited to see the return of ADAM WEST BATMAN COSTUME. But damnation this combat system is looking pretty good. All the stuff I've been wanting to do with more on top. Steal weapons? Hell yes steal weapons. Also hopefully Arkham Knight will sufficiently wash the taste of Origins out of my mouth. A man can dream.

My fave thing about Catwoman in Arkham City is that she does the sexy voice to herself in her own head so she's obviously insane.

On that subject, Catwoman is still canonically a stripper, right? Because that would explain so much about Arkham Catwoman. Or did that remove that backstory due to Holly?

sweet co-op attacks there. I guess that probably confirms who is in for challenge maps but I am curious if this means this is two player or if you can regularly fight alongside the others or what. but hey whatever check out dat ps4 exclusive skin lol

I wonder if you'll be able to Dual Play in Challenge Maps. Maybe even have other team ups, like Robin with Nightwing. Or Batman with Harley. That'd be pretty neat, though, since you could also have Catwoman and Harley together. Too bad it's not Triple Play, otherwise we might've had the Gotham Sirens. Edit: There seemed to be a part where Batman looked like he got gassed by Scarecrow and then he was told "You will bring death to all who follow you." Possible Batman boss fight?
