Also Darkseid is not really a superman villain as much as a DC villain. He has messed with a lot of heroes, and tends to be the big villain of all New Gods stuff that Superman is not even involved in. The ones against Superman just tends to stand out more because of how famous he is.

I don't understand why you'd make a Superman game, and then make him less powerful.

Less Powerful in that he is not on the level of his stupidly powerful versions. AKA he is at the level were there are quite a few things capable of challenging him.

All you have to do is give him the level of powers as he is starting out, where he can take a bullet but not a full on assault because it hurts him just enough he has to regroup. Don't give him the strength to punch planet but enough power to where if he hits a normal man they rag doll. Done.

Exactly.

What you're describing is a DBZ game where Goku can't go super saiyan.

We had some of those. Some were quite fun.


Superman while powerful has never been the strongest in the DC Universe. There were plenty of beings more powerful then him. And there were machines and tech capable of hurting him. (Along with him having no immunity to magic.)

There was an animated series game that I had quite a bit of fun with with. Superman: Shadow of Apokolips that while having quite a few flaws, I feel more or less did the powerlevel of Superman right. He was strong, fast, had a bunch of superpowers. For the Mooks of the game they used Robots created by Lex Luthor armed with Apokoliptian weapons. The Weapons of Apokolips being good enough to actually harm Superman. (There is a prison break later in the game were you fight normal human enemies, they are incapable of hurting you and go down in a single punch, while the Interbots can generally take punch or two before being destroyed.) For the villains of the game they used three that were capable of fighting Superman. Livewire, Parasite and Metallo.

Finished spider man, loving great,I'm more surprised at the revelation that Norman really cares about Harry. I think it's the first time I can remember that Norman had something more than disdain for his son.

Also otto's heel turn was a little fast, but drat it made for a good emotional finale. It gave Peter and Otto a connection without feeling contrived. This is by far my favourite portrayal of doc ock.


Otto had the Heel turn early on. Once he started getting backed by AIM and is starting work on the new Arms after losing his money to Osborn he had already done the turn. He has parts for Electro, Vulture and Rhino in his lab, plans for the Raft Breakout and his villain suit. He just dresses that stuff up as something else. But he starts his plan from early on in the game.

Assuming that we will have an actual playable squad for this game, does this sound like a good list for it, let's assume 7 members, not counting Waller and Flagg.

King Shark, Count Vertigo, Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn (I would like someone else, but I assume she is going to be in the game.) Then we need a more fodder member how about Copperhead.

Deadshot, Harley, Captain Boomerang, El Diablo, King Shark, Cheetah, and Enchantress.

Going in hard on the cast from the movie, which everyone makes fun of now. Rocksteady striking while the iron isn't even out.

I would swap Diablo with Vertigo, Katana or Copper.

And that's still as dumb as it was in the movie because he's the Man of Steel, and they're some guys with guns.

If the Team leaks are correct, then Enchantress, Cheetah and King Shark can sort of threaten him. Shark is a powerful demigod who was originally a Superboy villain, Cheetah's claws and fangs can slice through any material (In comics she was able to slice Superman's skin as if he were a normal human.) And Superman has no defence against Enchantresses magic.

I'm not surprised they made Deadshot black even if this is supposed to be staunchly in the Arkham universe, way more people are gonna associate him with Will Smith than his brief appearances in previous games. Plus wasn't he Black in the Assault on Arkham cartoon movie?

Nope. I think Suicide Squad is the only place he has been black in.

Personally I would have just used Bronze Tiger if they wanted a black guy on the team. As Bronze Tiger is awesome. Not a big fan of changing characters race myself.

Tiger is one of the best martial artists in the world, he also uses claws as a weapon sometimes. Also he wears a cool tiger mask.

They gave Boomer limited super speed like his son in the comics.

Samoa Joe is a good choice for King Shark because he looks like he could beat a shark to death with his bare hands. Plus, he has a good sense of humor.
Boomerang likely just has tech in the boomerang to teleport to it.

I like how Shark talked at the end. He sounded kind of thespian like.

That's a loving tragedy. No matter how much I disliked what they did to Cassandra, that was a fun movie and I need more Huntress.

It's kind of weird, the character herself was fine. She just was not Cassandra Cain at all.

Someone even posted this in the past.

I bought the deluxe edition. I hate knowing there’s content out there I don’t have no matter how trivial. So with most new game purchases, I just consider whatever the most inclusive version of the game as “the game.”

Edit: After trying and failing four times in a row to get one of the Batman Data Caches, I checked my control config and realized that YES there is indeed a sprint option. I was so used to it being to just hold "A" from Arkham that i'd been mindlessly still holding "A" and only doing the casual jog everywhere.

Edit Edit: Jesus Christ these Batman log/audio files get super loving depressing. :(

Wait what's the sprint button?

I haven't played around with it too much but there's something I'm doing wrong or not quite getting as well. Like sometimes when I trigger something environmentally or on an enemy everyone will get alerted into combat mode. Should I not have done that? Are enemies more observant, like I can't just be above them I also have to be truly out of line-of-sight of everyone?

One thing is try not to stealth knock out people while they are talking to each other. They tend to notice when the person they were talking with suddenly stops for no reason and check it out.
