Design looks better than big-head Batman

Design looks better than big-head Batman

Yeah that really bothers me. Why is Batman an orange on a toothpick? I'll take this Arkham Knight over the Batman model.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

There is a huge reason for the bat look. Bruce Wayne don't aim to be "cool looking" dude in metal like Ironman he aimed to be scary as shit.

""Criminals are a terror. Hearts of the night. I must disguise my terror. Criminals are cowardly. A superstitious terrible omen. A cowardly lot. My disguise must strike terror. I must be black. Terrible. Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot. I must be a creature. I must be a creature of the night ""

Big dude dressed in spandex... pointy ear half mask... cape and knee-high boots... shit of nightmares i tell you!

his mask is awful, looking super long ears and way too big. Rocksteady really need to change it.

Big dude dressed in spandex... pointy ear half mask... cape and knee-high boots... shit of nightmares i tell you!

people get scared of cute clowns... so yeah bat cosplayer might work for Bruce

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

"Yes, we can do awesome non roid-monster designs."

 

[Village]

Um, no. I know there are multiple Robins, but I couldnt tell you shit besides one of them becomes Nightwing. I could ask every one of my friends who have seen the Batman movies and played the games and not one of them will know shit about what you're talking about.

I know people that know of the red hood and jayson with out reading comics.

I can use anecdotal evidence too, its totally indicative of an entire demographic

 

[BigTnaples]

Looks fantastic.


Really, really pumped for this.

 

[LurkerPrime]

He looked fantastic... and then I saw the lower half of his body. Now he looks sorta weird. Without a cape, I cannot take a fake Batman seriously.

It will be a lot of fun to take him down, I bet!

I wonder how many (blind) civilians are going to think he's the Batman...

 

[Coffee Dog]

Jason Todd would make no sense, he hasn't even shown up before.

They had their chance to establish him in arkham origins but didnt take it.

 

[Mechanized]

Looks pretty cool, don't like the pants though, clashes with the rest of the outfit.

 

[rawd]

Crysis nanosuit with ears

Batman Crysis


ps: he looks less like a bat and more like a panther now..still a cool design

yup

 

[jediyoshi]

Why would they throw in the villain name in the sub title? It's like doing "Batman: The Joker".
It's weird.

You mean why would they overlap the villain's name with the game? I doubt they'd change the Arkham moniker by now.

 

[nynt9]

I really like the design of the character, but can't shake the sour feeling of "It's probably gonna be the Joker"

 

[LordOcidax]

Looks pretty cool, But for Batman, i don't know... Mixed feelings.

 

[GameAddict411]

looks better than batman himself, is this the 1 mil polygons character they were talking about?

 

[Kaneda Shotaro]

Jason Todd or Azreal. Azreal would make more sense because people who have only played the Arkham games will recognize him and Azreal has said Gotham will burn in AC.

 

[DoubleTap]

Looks great. After Batman beats him, he uses the AK armor as a prototype for the Beyond suit.

 

[dankir]

Got to admit he looks very cool.

 

[-COOLIO-]

i love it.

 

[GavinUK86]

I really like the design of the character, but can't shake the sour feeling of "It's probably gonna be the Joker"

In the first behind the scenes Game Informer video Sefton Hill states that they don't want to cheapen the Joker's death in Arkham City by bringing him back so he is definitely dead. Dead, dead, dead. Unless he's pulling a fast one. I really hope Joker doesn't come back. Origins was great until Joker showed up. I thought that game was without him. Now hopefully this one is.

The design of this "Arkham Knight" reminds me of the leaked photos of Ultron in the new Avengers movie. The top half anyway. Bit weird.

 

[Daingurse]

Cyborg Batman?

I'd lose my shit if this is somehow the Joker. Don't care how convoluted it'd have to be to explain it, I'd be all for it.

Edit: First time seeing that Ultron pic. That's fucking Ultron alright.

 

[Barzul]

Looks cool as hell to me.

 

[LSauchelli]

Honestly, I hope it's a Battle for the Cowl game. That storyline wasn't as exciting as it looked, but in videogame form it could be really great. And it would be even more interesting if all the Robins actually fought for the Batman title instead of just Jason wanting it and forcing Tim to the suit because Dick didn't want it.

 

[G-Fex]

you could literally put that design in any other game and not know it was a batman character

 

[styl3s]

I call it Jayson todd.

Their twist on Red Hood? I can dig it.

 

[jackissocool]

I'd rather play as him.

Knowing these games, you'll probably get to in the challenges.

 

[BattleMonkey]

a gun and red in the armor... yeah that is Jason Todd for sure then.

Unlikely since that whole storyline hinges on people knowing the past storyline behind Todd.

 

[Clawww]

Joker from the past travelled to the future, made the suit, then back to the future past to fight current Batman.

im down with that

 

[DesertFox]

Looks great - admittedly it looks heavily inspired by iron man, but cool nonetheless.

Also loving the new Batsuit. Finally ditching the bat-diaper.

 

[katkombat]

Getting some Birth by Sleep vibes?

.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

It's a robot. Throughout the game it gets hyped up but then at the end you just fight a bunch of mass-produced models of it that are easy to kill on some kind of trippy virtual reality circle in an endless shallow sea.

?

I've never watched evangelion

 

[Ahasverus]

a gun and red in the armor... yeah that is Jason Todd for sure then.

Totally.

 

[JaseMath]

Batman Beyond!

 

[Ragus]

It's the Joker.

 

[Deadly]

Am I the only one who thought of this?

 

[Lijik]

Joker from the past travelled to the future, made the suit, then back to the future past to fight current Batman.

Ill laugh so hard if theres another "It was the Joker all along!" twist

 

[.GqueB.]

BAMF

 

[VanquishUK]

EDIT: Wrong thread.

 

[Earendil]

Which platforms is this game for?

 

[Levyne]

Am I the only one who thought of this?

5th post, haha

 

[Santiako]

I swear to god if it's the Joker inside there I will kill someone.

 

[Deadly]

5th post, haha

Ah my bad I was looking for pictures and didn't see any haha

Actions cause fear too.

If that photo is true, looks like they are going with a new spin on the iron man sentient armor storyline.

 

[electroflame]

Which platforms is this game for?

PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

 

[Cutreman]

IT'S TIME

 

[mreddie]

[Imbarkus]

Joker from the past travelled to the future, made the suit, then back to the future past to fight current Batman.

Infamous crossover confirmed.

Ill laugh so hard if theres another "It was the Joker all along!" twist

Maybe it's actually Black Mask.

IT'S TIME

Fast, excellent work. Bravo.

 

[Sub Zero]

Arkham Knight is

zombie

Joker. Just see it happen

 

[RedAssedApe]
