That was such an annoying glitch.

ETA: Although not as bad as the glitch that wouldn't let you get out of the one Riddler tower. That was infuriating.

No, I thought before I opened the game that it would be awesome if black mask hires 8 assassins but the joker comes out of nowhere. Is he going for the bounty? Is he just crazy? I thought the assasin story line would play straight but the joker and other "super criminals" would reveal themselves as the bigger threat


Yeah, that's what I was expecting. The Electrocutioner was completely worthless and they did nothing with Deadshot, Shiva, and Killer Croc. So basically there were only 4 assassins after Batman.

But it would've at least been better to have joker as someone in play for the $50 mil I disagree there. The joker doesn't care about money so it would go against his character.


The money doesn't matter to him, since te prize would be taking down Batman. I think they make it clear in the game that Bane doesn't care about the money either.

I refer to the episode "the joker's millions"

yes, I am lame

The joker cares about money, he just prioritizes it like an insane person would. Killing batman would be the larger priority and hey, why not collect $50 mil for his nefarious schemes

Don't get me wrong, I loved this story, I played 2 hours on I am the night mode last night (died)

I actually like what they did with shiva and deadshot, but I thought other super criminals would come into play separately and be the larger threat in the end. No falcone's, no maronis, no calendar man, no scarecrow...I think they could've given AC a run for their money. I thought this was going to be heavily influenced by the long halloween

I kind of liked that I was getting antsy as the electrocutioner boss fight was beginning and then I just knocked him the frick out it was a nice touch IMO. Maybe the deathstroke fight is a bit more fun when you first play it with the counter warnings.


I'm also not sure WB Montreal understands the concept of "game plus" i lost all my gadgets on that playthrough and had to regain them at the same points in the story...lame

thank god they did a copy and paste because it is clear they aren't capable like rocksteady of making an awesome original game.

I will give in to you on the joker since I have not ready all those other stories. If you want to go nerd on star wars, I am taking you down. It was crappy what they did with electrocutioner and croc though. They were more like cameo appearances. I won't label this game as flawless at all. I just argue against the hate and the 3.5/10 by destructoid.

I may be able to hang with you there. I did have an IG-88 action figure growing up.


I thought ign's review was on the money, but the score didn't match up with the review.


"jokers millions" is an episode of BTAS, but there are numerous mentions in the comics. Joker isn't entirely opposed to a little cash flow.

Your not allowed to say that! Your have to hate everything IGN says... I agree, they summed it up well. I read their reviews generally, just ignore scores.

As for star wars, I have read a few books in my day...

Shadows was a good one. I never read comics at all as a kid so I was never into those. I nerd out for some books though.

just beat the game. in my opinion, this was a great installment. i don't care if the joker was the main villain again. it was still good.

For those that have played both this game and the new Splinter Cell, which one do you prefer?

I played both of the previous Batman games and enjoyed them. Haven't picked up a Splinter Cell since the PS2 but really liked it.
