Media Batman: Arkham Knight

[Jameson Rook]

Man, these 89 tracks are HARD! I only managed to get two stars on most of them, with a 3 star rank for only one track. Just like the Riddler tracks, you'll need lots of practice and always use the bumper cam.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Yeah, I've tried a couple of times now to use the Arkham Knight Batmobiles in the 89 racetracks, but it just reverts to the 89'mobile.

That's strange. No issues here, I could use the regular Batmobile on the 98 tracks just fine.

Since everyone is, rightfully, obsessed with movie skins, I'd love it if one of these studios decided to take it a step further and make up for all of the ****** tie-ins, by making a sort of, I don't know "Legends of the Dark Knight" game, where it's basically just one, big celebration of Batman. Could you imagine playing as the '89 Batman, with an actual Keaton likeness, and chasing Napier and his goons through Axis Chemicals in a Predator Encounter? A '66 battle full of onomatopoeia thought-bubbles and West and Ward voice-overs?

Hell, what if you could actually play through the opening credits of The Animated Series in an authentic recreation of Bruce Timm's Gotham? Chase down the bank robbers in the TAS Batmobile, against those red skies and looming skylines, and, ultimately, confront them on that rooftop, and that's just some of the movie and TV stuff; you still have the Nolan films, potentially, Snyder's stuff, and a whole 75+ year history in comics that you could look through for inspiration.

Hmm. I wonder what's wrong with mine then. I've literally just tried it again, but it won't let me use any of the Arkham Kight Batmobiles (default or skins) on the 89 tracks.
Similarly, it won't let me use the 89'mobile on any other race tracks (Riddler, midnight fury, seek & destroy) either.

Make sure you have selected the skin in the showcase menu

That would be a dream come true.

I see the nolan pack has been announced, but it did not mention if it comes with a dark knight skin... Not my favourite batsuit but still, bundle it in please rocksteady

 

[pturtle]

I wonder if they’ll give us the Begins suit as well since he wears both in TDK.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I assume it's just the Tumbler, and nothing else.

 

[pturtle]

That would be pretty underwhelming but I guess its better than nothing.

Yep, that's what I was doing. I select a skin (wether that be the default Arkham Batmobile or the prototype Batmobile or the 66 skin Batmobile) and then go into the 89 racetracks. As soon as it loads up its the 89'mobile there on the track. It just isn't working for me.

So can everyone else use the 89'mobile on the Riddler racetracks too?

I haven't tried the Riddler tracks yet since I'm working my way upwards, but I remember it's selectable. Are you on Xbox or PS4? By any chance you could record your bug?

 

[sfa]

I'm on PS4. Can you record going through the menus screens? If so I'll give it a try later today.

On a different note, I can't wait to get the original Arkham Asylum skin next month! I think that will become my default skin.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Playing the 89 Racetracks with the Danny Elfman soundtrack? Why not give this a listen first, see if you can get it out of your head while playing the game! You're welcome.

We're getting the Nolan TDK Batsuit - from the thread that batfan linked to earlier:

I know the image is of the comic first appearance Batman, but that's probably just a placeholder model because the skin isn't released yet. Read the caption and check out the highlighted thumbnail. It looks like ... "something else entirely".

I managed to capture a video of what's happening. As you can see, no matter which skin I use it always reverts back to the 89'mobile for the 89 tracks. Weird.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I just want the BTAS next, I couldn't care less about the Nolan crap.

Hey hey HEY! No need for that here -- Seems like everyone is getting the Batmen / Batmobiles they like -- so all should be pretty happy with what they get, no need to diss others' preferences.

You see the left and right arrows next to the text of "1989 Movie Batmobile" on the track select screen? Maybe that's where you can cycle through different Batmobiles?

I wasn't, lighten up.
