Who's looking forward to Arkham City??

*raises hand*

I know I am. It sounds like they're basing it loosely on No Man's Land.

I'm excited. Preordered the collector's edition the other day. It's the first collector's edition I've ever decided to preorder/was willing to drop that much money on. It looks like the game will be worth it.

Yeah. One thing I'm excited about is the ability to play other characters. Batman is cool, no doubt. But seeing the catwoman gameplay has me interested in her character.

Fuck yeah! It looks like it may be better than Arkharm Asylum. I liked playing that one. Croc from AA actually creeped me out a bit.

I am, although I'm still peeved they made Talia white. And I too am really excited about being able to play as Catwoman, but with her reboot comic looking like its going to be shit, I'm going to have to try not to get too attached.

Croc was scary. The beginning scene when Croc threatens Batman and Joker remembers that he needs a new pair of shoes was kinda creepy. Partially because I wouldn't put it past joker to carve Croc up for those shoes. Joker was the big fish in that game. He'd eat anyone around him dumb enough to trust him.

And smile the whole time!

Mark Hamill's supposed to be doing the Joker's voice in this one again.

One thing I've always wanted to see as a mash up is Mark hammil's joker voice dubbed into the original starwars trilogy....

Think about the part in Return of the jedi when Darth vader throws the emp. down the shaft...."You killed Captin Clown!"

Or the death star demo scene with the joker laugh and music.

Nightwing is supposed to be a controllable character apparently! Might just be a DLC though.

I saw screenshots of Nightwing. He looks dope!

Also, Robin looks friggin HARD. I didn't know you could make him seem so intimidating, but Rocksteady proved me wrong.

I hate Nightwing's hair. I know it's just one of those small things, but it bugs me.

So I finished the game and it was freaking awesome. I still have all the Riddler's Revenges to do (challenge maps), but the whole story is finished.

I only have 2 criticisms and they both involve Catwoman.

1. Catwoman's costume, while fairly functional, is needlessly titillating... once again. She's wearing heels and for some weird reason her suit has a binki line around her ass. Not only that, but she mimics cat motions like licking her hands and rubbing it on her face. Why? She's Catwoman, a burglar, not a furry.

2. I'm starting to believe that IT IS BEYOND comic book writers to write a strong female character. Dini. What the fuck were you thinking? Everything Catwoman does is hyper sexualized and not really in a way that a woman would want to be sexy, not according to Catwoman, but according to what a boy who likes Batman would think is sexy.

I enjoy playing as Catwoman. Her mechanics are slick. But I freaking cringe every time she opens her mouth.

As far as the way the prisoners were reacting to her, it's to be expected. In fact, it actually makes the objectification of Catwoman even more extreme when the prisoners treat her like you'd expect a prisoner in that place to treat a woman, but again, only because you're left realizing that the writers ACTUALLY thought that way of Catwoman to begin with or lacked any sense of what a real woman is like. Are they chauvinists dicks or do they still live in their parents' basement, far away from the adult world?

Seriously. Just what the fuck?

What about her alternate skins? Can you purchase them, or do you need to play it through and unlock? My sister is getting it for Christmas and I'm not opposed to sticking a points card in her christmas stocking so I don't have to play with her like that right away.

I also heard that all female characters are referred to as "bitch", continually and without pause. And again, I know what you mean, prisoners wouldn't be nice about Catwoman but...Harley too?

Its a shame because the game otherwise really really really really looks good and it probably won't stop me from playing it, sadly. I mean to boycott shit like this.

The game is too good to boycott.

However, yes. You can get some extra skins... I think. At least I saw some Catwoman alternate costumes in the character trophy section. I haven't started a new game + yet, so I don't know if you can change the costume of Catwoman. But it looks like they have the BTAS skin and a kind of classic one that looks really nice.

Again, I understand prisoners talking like that... it makes sense which is why it doesn't bother me entirely. But yeah.
