Batman: Arkham City - Spoilers Allowed!!

I've only heard of fans dreams about that, nothing offical.

Pretty sure Kevin Conroy said he'd recorded extra stuff for future story DLC. Infact, found the quote:

The gaming now is a big, new thing. The thing about Arkham City is that it’s going to be an ongoing game. You’re going to be able to download future episodes of it, so it’s going to be going on for quite a while. I’ve been recording it for a while. So that will continue.

Sweet, i think i remember reading an interview with Sefton Hill too where he was asked about some story DLC and he kind of smiled and said "i cant talk about that" obviously hinting that there would be.

Had my visit with Calendar Man today! Am I the only one who hasn't cheated by altering the dates on the console yet?

 

[Darth Madden]

Crap, I need to go visit him today.... I almost forgot. I haven't changed the dates yet either.

I'm not sure if this is better in the figure thread or game thread so I'll try in both. I finally got the frame for the art cards I got with the strategy guide. I had to get each mat seperate so if you look close you can see the lines in between but so what... I think it looks good.

Hey, I've got a quick question. I just got AC for pc for the holidays and just started playing. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the side missions...should I just play through the story and then go back for the rest? or should I just do it as it comes around.

 

[Russell1982]

Its total choice, you can pretty much do it either way I think. I went through the story first, as I found that I got quite involved and each time there was a new development in the story I wanted to rush off to the next bit. Then I done all the side missions after.

do the first 4 training missions asap, cause you will get a new ability, which will help with gliding/flying around the map.

 

[HottoyzJoker]

That gliding and flying training will be handy later in the game too... Trust me...

Any idea when they're going to fix the disappearing saves bug? My 94% complete save has vanished from file selection despite still being on my Xbox.....

Oh no, AC still got this bug? This is what prevented me from finishing AA!

Random question: What would Batman in a Silent Hill game be like?

Play the Scarecrow levels from Arkham Asylum

Finally finished the main storyline from AC. I only play a few hours every couple of weeks, so it took me a while. This is the first game I've finished in a LONG time.

Solid ending to a very cool game. The Clayface fight was fantastic ... particularly the sword-fighting second phase.

The ending was a bit vaguer than I expected, though.

Joker is apparently dead ... but it was a bit less definitive than I thought. After freezing Clayface and dropping him into the Lazarus Pit, Batman gets knocked unconscious for an unknown period of time. That was an intentional thing. They wrote in a blackout for a reason. Why? They could've easily skipped the blackout and had the scene play-out exactly as it appeared to.

After he wakes up, Joker is whining for the cure ... but, I think the vial switched hands while he was unconscious. Why wouldn't Joker have taken the cure or dipped in the Lazarus Pit while Batman was blacked-out? And, what does a Lazarus Pit do to Clayface? Is he dead? Immortal? Did Clayface climb out of the Pit, intentionally break the vial, and play sick Joker's death scene for the "role of a lifetime"? Or, was it exactly as it appeared ... Batman blacked out for seconds, Clayface is gone, and Joker croaked?

No idea ... but I thought it was more definitive than that. Not that vague is a bad thing. Vague leaves options. I wonder if story-based DLC might shed light.

Still, very cool game. 10/10. One of the best games I've ever played. Now, back in to finish the side-missions and Riddler stuff.

SnakeDoc,

If I remember correctly, being immersed in the the Lazarus Pit can drive someone mad. If that happened to Clayface when he fell in, it could be he convinced himself he was Joker after just having impersonated him for awhile and faked death in the form of Joker to allow the escape of the real Joker. I know that's pretty thin, but just a theory!

 

[Buttmunch]

I think that short blackout will have affects in Arkham 3. It will be the loophole to bring Joker back if they want. It could have been Clayface that 'died' for Batman or Joker could have just fooled Bats like he did earlier in the game with the 'deceased' popping up on Batman's Dective mode despite him not actually being dead. But I think they left it vauge on purpose so they could play around with their options. They can leave things as they appear or switch stuff up because of that blackout.

 

[SwedishHeat]

Well, Mark Hamill said he was done playing Joker, so I think this was his swan-song.

 

[SnakeDoctor]

Hamill has been a little vauge. He said goodbye to "the Joker" on Twitter, and then said three days later he'd be willing to do "The Killing Joke" if they made a movie. I'm not so sure he'd reject Arkham 3 if it landed on his doorstep.
