Media Batman: Arkham Knight

[GasparZizou]

I will admit that the cowl and the cape look phenomenal.

The Batmobile was awesome from the moment I laid eyes on it, and Batman's armor looks badass.

I like his suit hoping it grows on people it fits the story,

 

[jnmx2000]

I love the batmobile, I think it's a perfect blend between traditional and the tumbler. I'm looking forward to crusing around in that beast. Playing through the original games now, can't wait.

I'm not a big fan of this Batmobile after looking at several pictures.

It is very tank-like, which I agree works for Batman in the Arkham-verse. But also keeps to its car roots.

I don't like the cockpit/driver's seat in front like how it's designed. Obviously it stands out as being unique and different but I've always prefered the driver's seat towards the back like it traditionally has been and emphasizing a bad-azz hood design. This completely negates that in favor of a Lamborgini short front end and then the back end/"trunk/engine area" looks completely boring.

It looks like a Lambo and a Jeep Trail edition had sex and this is what came out. It's still GREAT but not anything that really knocks it out of the park in my opinion.

Agreed with pretty much all of this

Yeah that was totally spot on. Especially Catwoman, that was quite the oddball, but she is definitely pretty different from Batman, Robin and Nightwing. I hope the latter two are playable, in some way or form.

They're all valid points, the first two in particular. I always said from day one my biggest issue with Arkham City was that it felt like toe really short stories chucked together. Didn't really work at all for me. Not that I didn't still love the game, but I really do hope Arkham Knight doesn't go the same way.

Also some story stuff with Robin or Nightwing would be awesome. Playing as them in the DLC was a blast.

Two be fair, there was one story in AC and then the Joker, being the Joker, hijacked that story and put in his two cents. So while it felt like two separate stories (because it WAS) it fit the nature of the world established. If the Joker is around, he's going to do whatever it takes to get Batman's attention. Joker wants the focus on him, even if what's going on has nothing to do with him. That's just how he is and I felt his role in AC was exactly what he would have done in that situation. I think that was my biggest issue with The Dark Knight Rises - the Joker would have made himself the center of attention during those events and if he wasn't (with Ledger being dead obviously) then I think they really needed to at least acknowledge why. The Joker is simple an attention whore.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I pray they don't bring back Joker. It was a shocking, and good send off to the character within this universe. And I think bringing him back for the third time would be a giant error on Rocksteady's part. Plus, he commands too much attention from the other characters and I think some new blood is in order.

 

[Solidus]

I think this calls for a new poll .

 

[Snake Plissken]

You mean having Joker in it?

 

[krec9]

No joker not three games where hes the main baddie.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Rocksteady confirmed last week he is 'dead, dead, dead.'

 

[krec9]

Exactly dead glad they are focusing on someone different.

Summary
-After defeating a henchman in combat, Batman no longer simply stands up straight. Instead, he will pause in an "interesting pose."

-Batman has a new fighting ability called "Weapon Steal," which allows him pick up weapons off the floor and use them against his enemies.

-Batman can use the surrounding environment against his enemies, such as taking things off the wall and smashing them on his opponent.

-The transitions between cutscenes and gameplay will flow much more smoothly.

-Arkham Knight uses motion-capture for cutscenes, including the face, body, and sometimes, the voice.

-If the voice actor can not preform due to traveling issues, their voice is dubbed over the motion-capture actor's voice.

That sounds really interesting. I am dying to see some Gameplay footage of this thing. I love the idea of interacting with your environment; Batman beating some dude with a lead pipe sounds like something straight-up Miller-esque.

 

[ironwez20]

I feel as though Harley Quinn May have a bigger role in this tan previous games since you play as her.

 

[batfan08]

I wonder of she'll be the only other playable character, or if there will be others. It'd be cool if we got to play as The Arkham Knight in Challenge Maps.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I want to run around Arkham Island or whatever it is as NightWing or Robin or Batwoman. Couldn't care less about playing as Harley

Me too. I would like a co-occurring side story for Robin/Nightwing. Or heck let's just have an entire campaign for Nightwing.
