I would buy them all :c

I think lithe is more a word I would use to describe a character like Nightwing. But I agree Batman should be more ninja than He-Man. I think I've seen comments to the same effect about Snyder's Batfleck being too chunky. Although I'd say they've scaled down a bit in AK compared to older games rather than continuing to bulk him up.I think I always thought of Batman as lithe but muscular, capable of feats of strength without looking like it. It's one reason enemies rush him, because he isn't clearly bulging with vein-rich biceps and they don't get that feeling that they made a huge mistake until he is judo-throwing them across the room. On the age-old scale from ninja to Haggar, he always seemed to be left of center toward ninja overall.
TAS, whether intentionally or due to artstyle, fits this view of Batman for me. Rocksteady Batman really doesn't. He becomes bigger and more armored with every iteration.
It's not something that will keep me from playing the game, but I at least finally realized why I look at this Batman and think "This does not fit my concept of the character."
Is this a prequel?
That was the first thing I noticed as well.I think overall it looks great and I cannot wait to see what the PC version looks like, but MAN are there some aliasing issues w/ that cityscape in the background :-( very very distracting
The new Batman suit is beast. I'd also like to say that I'm excited that they created a new villain with Arkham Knight. Harley Quinn started out as a new villain strictly for the animated series and look how awesome she turned out. My hype level is through the roof for this game.
Nah, he's definitely imposing and bulging especially in the comics. All his proteges are lithe though, wonder why.I think I always thought of Batman as lithe but muscular, capable of feats of strength without looking like it.

Not that it's saying much, but CCH was the best DLC of the series so far. On topthe of that, it's certainly as good as portions of AA and AC's main game. I've discussed the ins and outs of these games compared to one another at length and have never seen anyone explain how AO is supposedly such a huge step down.Coincidentally, I just played the Cold, Cold Heart DLC for Origins this morning and... yeesh. I'll be glad to see Rocksteady back in charge of Batman again.
Chromatic abberation should go die in a fire.
Why Devs suddnely feel this is a good thing to use, i don't know.
Literally the most horrible effect i've ever seen in 25 years of gaming.
Feels like i should be wearing old school red and blue 3d glasses.
Not sure what's so terrble about AO's DLC in particular thay it can be summed up with "yeesh."
Sounds like Montreal was better off making DLC for City.The dreadful final boss, mainly. Overall it's a fine DLC, same gorgeous production values as the main game, but that final boss was so long, repetitive, awkward and frustrating that it ruined the whole thing retroactively. I honestly don't know how the devs looked at what they'd done and thought it'd be enjoyable to play, even ignoring the lofty standards that Rocksteady set for a Mr Freeze bossfight.
I don't think AO was a bad game or anything, just that it's Arkham City again but everything's a little bit worse. Combat's not as solid, level design is awkward in predator rooms, shock gloves and remote claw unbalance things, stupid upgrade system, glitches all over the joint. The Metroidvania-ness is dropped in favour of linear levels or short inside areas where you walk in the front door, fight guys then walk straight back out the way you came. The basics are all there, of course, and it's a totally decent game, but Rocksteady's Batmans are two of my favourites of the generation and I don't think AO really compares.
Maybe it's just the camera angle. I mean her face looks good in the CGI trailer and artwork.
Am I the only one bugged about the handgun sound?
the handgun has a silencer right? am I seeing right? yet the AK shot sounds like a regular handgun
they wouldn't just forget that? tight?
I really only believe there are two superheroes that look good with skin-tight / fabric-like outfits and those two are Wolverine and Spider-Man. Everyone else tends to look better armored in my eyes.

I think Superman would look dumb in armor, considering he's already the "man of steel"
What about every properly designed female super hero ever

Will they never make a Batman game where his cape actually makes him look imposing like in TAS? Gotham By Gaslight looked promising, but that's about it.

That individual is crazy; their 30 second predator room runs are nuts.In case this wasn't already posted, the guy who runs the "Batman Arkham Videos" YouTube channel (widely considered to be Batman himself, based on his ridiculously skillful play-throughs of this series) did an analysis of the trailer.
Yeah, not one with a realistic art style, at least. I'd pay a decent amount of money for a Walking Dead/Fable-style cartoon-y game mimicking, say, Trevor McCarthy orThe One and Done;113991970 said:This would never translate to a video game. Also, that hardly looks imposing now that I'm an adult.
Have you ever thought That its someone off screen shooting at the arkham knight to save batman. Like Gordon? They can't kill the batAm I the only one bugged about the handgun sound?

Scarecrow looks to be playing a major role here
i wonder how long into the game will he remove his mask to reveal the surprise that he is joker all along
