Whats the point of the armored suit if its not bulletproof? It also contradicts what Batman says. He goes from having an armored suit in Origins, to a regular one in Asylum and City. Its implied that hes younger and isnt bothered by the weight. But in City Alfred suggest he gets a bigger belt and Bruce says "Too heavy, slowed me down". Then why move on to a metal Iron Man suit?

It could depend on what he's dealing with in a given situation. He has in the past upgraded his suit for s situation. Not using that suit beyond the situation due to it's constraints. Like he said, too heavy, or whatever. And who says that suit isn't bullet proof. The screen goes black and you hear the shot. It's not like you know what happens. His suits in Asylum and AC were bullet proof which is why you can upgrade the armor to take more damage, remember, opening scene in AC in the Court house? Harvey shoots him in the chest and he gets up and hangs Harvey by his ankles. You can see the armor where the bullet hit.
 
I can't help but smile when I see a poll on IGN, with a list of all the potential games that could be revealed at E3, and Arkham Knight is the most voted for. I'm not saying the polls mean anything, but it's awesome that, after all these years, the caped crusader is a heavy hitter in the video game industry, and, in a lot of ways, a benchmark for all licensed games to strive towards.

It's been a pretty good year for Batfans so far, Lot's of cool goodies and announcements. Let's hope it stays that way.

Your completely right, Forgot it was a bit bullet proof. Kept thinking about being killed by armed thugs when I messed up a challenge map. Also in the trailer you hear a loud gunshot, but it's not from the AKs gun. His gun is suppressed which means it would sound a lot different. Just a little thing I noticed.

I'm gonna be so ****ing broke, if I can even afford all the stuff. Off the top of my head...

Collectibles:
-Hot Toys 66 Batman and Robin
-Hot Toys TDK Armory with Wayne and Alfred (maybe)
-DC Collectibles Batman:The Animated Series Figures

DVD/Blu-Rays:
-Batman '66: The Complete Series (hopefully on Blu)
-Batman 89: 25th Anniversary Edition (depending on the material included)

Video Games:
-Batman: Arkham Knight

Of course, that last part's going to be the biggest hit, as I've been making do with a late-90's era SDTV for the past decade, so, not only will I have to purchase the game, but I'll also have to shell out the $400 for the hardware, but, even worse than that, if I want the system to operate as anything other than an overpriced paper weight, I'll need to shell out for a new HDTV, as well.:lol

Assuming I do take all of that off of the checklist, I'll then have to sleep with one eye open, for fear that my pissed off wallet will become sentient and try to murder me.

:lol I'm in most of that with you. I just paid off the Harley Quinn PF and I've got Catwoman on order for later in the year. Multiple dvd/bluray buys and more statues from koto and dc collectibles plus I still need to decide between the power of the PS4 and the Experience of the Xbox One while pre-ordering this game. They keep putting out the goodies and my wallet my commit suicide. :rotfl:
 
Personally, I'm going for the Playstation 4. Partly because it's a more powerful system, partly because I'm used to the controls (owned a PS2 and a PS3; never got used to the XBOX), and partly because, two out of the three previous games had exclusive content on Playstation (Playable Joker in Arkham Asylum, '66 and Knightfall Batsuits in Origins. Oh, and I like more of Playstation's Exclusives (Uncharted, inFamous, etc.). In terms of experience, though, I get what you mean. The XBOX seems to be a much more integrated system, with it connecting to your cable box and so forth, but that's more like a "bonus" to me; not really something I'd be looking for when I bought a system.

I'm an xbox guy, but the power on the PS4 does give me pause. We'll see though, if Xbox were to do a new installment of Fable or another exclusive I'm into that might seal it but I haven't heard any thing like that in the pipeline.

I am in the same boat. My 360 was my primary gaming console, while my PS3 was used for Blu-rays and exclusives. Now I am thinking of upgrading, and I am torn between the 2. The PS4 seems to be the more powerful console, and has some great exclusives. But I loved my 360, plus all my gaming friends were on Xbox. Would hate to start over.
 
I only stuck with the PS3. I was gonna get a 360, but my parents wouldn't pay for Xbox Live. Not to mention only a few exclusives interested me, Halo, Dead Rising and Gears of War. Compare with the PS3 where I knew what exclusives from developers that I wanted, like Naughty Dog, Insomniac and so on. Even then I grew up with the PS1 and partly PS2, along with the ability to play PS2 games no problem...till my old PS3 died and I got a new one anyway. On the plus side, just about all my friends own a PS3, which is real nice. So I'm going with the PS4, considering I have the whole Arkham series on PS3.

Real gamers with jobs and no kids buy both. Those of us with them, will have to settle on one or the other. :lol
Sadly yes. Though you could get away by buying one for the kids and keep one for yourself. Anything goes with how ****** new parents are today :lol

That might work. Although not sure my 15 month old will understand why he's eating bread and water for a month. Maybe the Kinect will distract him enough not to notice!
