Batman Arkham City: Nightwing Trailer

Seriously. That movie was so good.

Black Mask still makes me chuckle.

I know right! The guy who played Batman did a fantastic job too. I forget his name, but he was one of the main characters in the recent Star Trek film. I wouldn't mind him doing more animated Batman movies tbh, as much as I love Kevin Conroy.

Plus, that Red Hood was the type that would fit in Rocksteadys Batman universe. He's damanged goods, he's pretty much insane, and the best thing is, he's essentially a younger Batman/Bruce Wayne. Taught by the best, and unlike Batman, he has nothing to hold him back, whereas Batman is tied down by code and regulations.

Red Hood is a "free" Batman.

Man, all this talk of Red Hood...I really can't wait to get that movie on blu ray! :D

That is what i was getting at. A villain to can move about on the rooftops of gotham like batman. Red hood Jason Todd knows all of batman moves and unlike Hugo Strange can fight like Batman. final battle can happen in Wayne Manor as it burns down then end in the batcave. Ras can be back as well since he is the one that brought Todd back..

YES! Glad to see another person who gets Red Hood's potential greatness.

This looks fantastic. First-person wrist dart shooting, energy tendrils, escrima sticks, and a totally badass character design. The glimpse of Wayne Manor looks interesting, as well. I wonder what the other map looks like?

I would love for them to bring back playable Joker from the PS3 version of AA, and add in the new version of Harley Quinn as a playable character as well.

I heard that the maps that come with it are Wayne Manor and the Batcave.

Wayne Manor, yes, but I haven't read anything about a Batcave (unfortunately, if I may add).

Fake edit: Just found the names of the maps: Main Hall and Wayne Manor.

Edit 2: I just saw a pic from the official guide and it apparently includes the Batcave, just like you said. Sorry about that.

He punched so fast he ripped a hole in the time/space/dimension continuum. Essentially the force of his punch created a multi exit worm hole, i dont see to much of a problem with that.

If superman is as powerful as certain comics make out its well within his powers remit to create negative mass and thus exotic matter which in turn could create a wormhole.

Or something.

So which Robin is the Robin from teen titans?

I had no idea there were so many Robins.
If you mean the animated Teen Titans series it doesn't say but it's implied to be Dick Grayson, in the new Young Justice series I'm pretty sure it's Dick as well. In Batman the Animated Series it was Dick until the redesign of the series then it was Tim Drake.

It's SO silly they're stuck with Dick in Young Justice. In my mind, it's Tim. That's how I watch the show.

They had an episode of Teen Titans where Starfire went to the future and Robin was Nightwing. So, yeah, that was Dick.

Dick > Bruce

Yeah, iirc, in one ep they go into the future and Robin meets himself as Nightwing. I'm pretty sure it's Dick, in regards to TT.

Yea, I liked Dick as Batman more especially when he was interacting with Damian.

Has to be Dick Grayson since there was an epsiode of the teen titans in the future and Robin became nightwing.

Jumps high


Doesn't Nightwing have grapplehook in his little sticks/batons?
 
Arkham City was a day one purchase for me, but I'm gonna wait until this goes on sale. I'm on a strict budget, and I have enough Batman to tide me over until after the holidays. :(
 
gutter_trash said:
meh, he is too dainty and acrobatically lucha-libre, i don't like that style of fighting

I prefer Batman's brutish and efficient style
"Man, it totally sucks that Nightwing fights like Nightwing."

Chairhome said:
Out of context it seems terrible, but when I read it with the rest of Infinite Crisis, it didn't seem so bat-sh*t crazy.

Comics are bat shit crazy. That's why I love them. I don't know why people have to try so hard to legitimize it. It's nutty, it's silly, and it's downright awesome.

DC Comics is the Dr. Who of superhero comics. Constantly mind bending, reality smashing, and utterly ridiculous. That's why I will forever like DC more than Marvel. Marvel is WAY too grounded in the real world to be interesting.

Such wrongness could tear a hole in the space-time continuum.

Dick was a better Batman.

So it's:

Dick Grayson ----> Robin -----> Nightwing -----> Batman ------> Nightwing.
Jason Todd -----> Robin -----> Red Hood -----> Red Robin.
Tim Drake -----> Robin ----- > Red Robin (under the name Tim Wayne).

This isn't confusing at all!

lol wtf. Batman Dick is the best Dick.

bwahaha

See!

The first two issues of Nightwing have been pretty good so far. They're delving more into the history of Haly's Circus. I miss Dick as Batman, but his return to Nightwing so far is looking good.

Plus, BnR with Bruce and Damian is, so far, very well done. Bruce getting a new perspective on his life and past, trying his best to be a good father while letting go of what made him Batman in the first place.

I was against the changes at first, but what they're doing with it so far is good.

Also, technically Dick went like this:

Robin ---> Nightwing ---> Batman ---> Nightwing ---> Batman ---> Nightwing

He's been Batman twice. People forget the first time.

Comic book lore/characters confuses the fuck out of me.
In just the same way that sports confuse the fuck out of me. I can never keep players' names straight, who is good, who isn't, who plays for who, what city has what team etc etc. It just comes down to investing some time, reading some stuff, and enjoying the medium.

It CAN be confusing, but with wikis, it's so much easier to keep that stuff straight. In fact, I recommend people use wikis when they get into series that have a huge history. Reading the appropriate works that affect that series are preferable, of course, but if you just want to read something and want to know what's going on, wikis are invaluable.

I dunno. He's got a pretty nice ass.

Aha! You are preferring him for the wrong reasons (just like I prefer Catwoman for the wrong reasons out of all the playable characters).

I dont run with Catwoman hohoho

I prefer Nightwing because:

1) He's the most likable character in the bat family
2) escrima sticks
3) Awesome acrobatic combat style.

I think Catwoman is hot as hell, but she doesn't have anything else going for her, especially not in Arkham City.

This.

Except Catwoman being hot makes up for any other deficiencies she might have in Arkham City.

What are you talking about? She takes down groups of enemies quicker than batman, and looking sexy while doing it. She is more stealthy as well (can clear out a room without being seen more easily).

i thought dick was permanently batman?

Only in Gotham City, prior New 52 relaunch. Bruce got a new Batman suit and started working worldwide, recruiting other Batmen and stuff prior the Leviathan story arc.
