Amazon is blowin it recently with their promotions.

I thought that twist with Epilogue worked rather well. But yeah the episode was pretty divisive with people.
 
I guess this kills any chance of GameStop Ireland having the Robin pre-order stuff. The skin would look a lot better without the insane muscle definition, but that's UE3 for ya.

People disliked that?! I thought it was EXACTLY like something Amanda Waller would do. Also, great nod to the Phantom Menace in that episoed. I loved that ending. O well.

How the hell does the Batman Beyond mask work anyways? I always thought it was weird that his eyes and mouth just kind of appeared over the black face mask

Wait a fucking minute. Where on earth are the GameStop shops in England? I regularly shop at two of the biggest shopping centres in the country and have yet to have seen a Gamestop shop.

Prices are much better than GAME too. Jeez.

Not exactly, it turns out that
Cadmus had Bruce's genes spliced into Terry's dad under the guise of a routine shot, so that Terry's dad's gametes (sex cells) were indistinguishable from Bruce's. It was all part of a Cadmus plan to have a next-generation Batman, complete with a tragic loss-of-parents backstory. They actually wanted to kill Terry's parents themselves, but the assassin they tried to hire (Andrea Beaumont from Mask of the Phantasm) wouldn't do it, so they gave up on the project until it turned out that Terry's dad was murdered anyway by Jokerz.

OK... that's pretty fucking nuts.

Kinda want. I do hope the Batman Beyond gliders appear under the arms otherwise this will be the stupidest costume ever in the context of the game. Seeing him glide around without the gliders or even a cape would be quite hilarious. Plus there's the speech thing. Will you just see his mouth move up and down underneath the mask? So many questions.

Is Rocksteady incapable of modeling a character that is not addicted to HGH? Jesus.

Also, the might as well include this suit too:

i remember when arkham asylum came for the PC, there was a big ass thread on eido forums i think? where people were posting batman arkham skins.

like 2 weeks after release they had every batman costume ever, and some silly ones like superman.

*salutes PC modders*

so glorious.

I do wish they'd made Batman a bit more lean instead of as bulky as he looks.

Sometimes I wonder why developers even bother including alternative outfits when more they often look far worse than the original costume. If it makes one's eyes bleed, then don't put it in please.

Terry's dad was killed by
Blight's right hand man. The jokerz wer just blamed as an excuse and cover up

Wait a minute, I just thought about something.
Doesn't Terry have a little brother, that's also the child of Warren McGinneus? So technically, the little kid from Batman Beyond is a mini-clone of Bruce Wayne as well, and also a potential canidate for Batman if anything happened to Terry?

If they cared they would have at least attempted to make the suit look good.

It is a skin, not a model.
There is only so much that can be done.

Yup. You'll also notice, which I thought was odd when watching the series as it originally aired (before JL/JLU was ever on), that
Terry and his brother both have black hair yet BOTH of their parents have red hair
.

HGH characters are the best!

I love it, that's how the mouth is supposed to look for the BB costume.
 
Full body shot.
