was amazingly done.

I just now obtained the Cryptographic Sequencer. Now I can backtrack and find some nice Riddler stuff.


Just wait 'til you get to the third Scarecrow sequence. It manages to be even stronger than the second.

F*ck me, nearby test means I have to put away the game for a week, this must be how crack addicts feel.

Heard nothing but good things about this game. Cant wait to get it.

Can you throw the batarang in the Collector's Edition? Or is it locked to the stand? I want to know there's a chance of injury if I purchase it.

Well you think there would be something in the reply menu that would say something about a spoler tag but I don't see it. How the heck you guys post a spoiler tag is beyond me.

If you don't know how to use spoilers, then simply don't post anything!

There you go Peach sorted it out for you now.

It's actually pretty easy. You start out with [spoiler*]then you write what ever you want to in here and then end with[*/spoiler]

You do it just like that (Except for the *s, I put them in so that it wouldn't actually create a spoiler tag and you would see how to create one for future reference. 🙂) and you end up with something like this.

Spoiler:
and how you manage not to know this stuff when you have been attending this site for over a year is beyond me

I was pissed that I didn't get to fight

Spoiler:
Ivy after the first encounter.

Patience.

I finished the story mode earlier today. Working on the Challenge mode now.

I'm not sure about the

Spoiler:
Joker on Titan
thing. I mean, it was building up to that, but... it was strange, and not really what I wanted to get out of the finale.

I liked the

Spoiler:
Two-Face
cameo right at the end; good way to set up a possible sequel. As well as the after-credits bit. Though I do hope we see Scarecrow again...

I got the 20x achievement when I was getting the Flawless Freeflow Fighter achievement, made it to about 25 after that, then there was no one left to punch. 🙁

Flawless Freeflow? Ugh. Still have yet to get that one, but I did get the 40x combo
Spoiler:
in the waiting room/lobby right before you confront the Joker for the final fight of the game. There's a bunch of party clowns who won't attack you if they see you, but attack one, and they'll all start coming, and with that many enemies in such a small space, it's hard not to get 40x if you just keep the combo going and counter enough

Just got finished with that. Some of the ones in the caves were the hardest to find for me. I think you'll like what you hear when you get all of 'em. 😛

I like the game, definately the best comic game I have played. Well worth the money paid.

Indeed, but no surprise there.

What is so infamous about the Killer Croc fight exactly?

It sucks Dark Khan. So much that you can't really even call it a "fight"...

you cant remove it, withought breaking it off the stand

Yeah. I came to that conclusion as well when trying. 🙁

.... I've been looking online and: why is everybody bitchin' about the Batarang, did they actually expect a real, razor-sharp made-out-of metal Batarang? Seriously?

No, it's not that. I'm okay with the material it was made out of. It's the fact you can't take it off the stand is what bothers me.

the best kind of DLC hitting your Arkham soon:

The free kind.

Nice to see the game will continue to grow, hopfully with a Valve plan... (Aka: Free DLC)


Yeah, I saw that. Pretty good stuff. I heard there was going to be a Scarecrow challenge map.

I found Clayface but unfortunately you don't get to fight him. He's stuck in his cell and doesn't reveal his true self. Instead, he just looks like the Warden and Gordon. I even tried to break him out with explosive gel but that failed. Also, he only turns into other people when you turn around and not look. You'll even hear him morphing but you'll never see it.

I'm amazed with what Eidos has done with Scarecrow and his nightmare realm.

I'd like to see how well Eidos would do if they were to adapt Nightmare on Elm St. into a videogame.

Honestly I liked Harley better when she was in her Jester outfit. The new outfit she's wearing makes her look like a naughty nurse version of a hooker.


Agreed about Harley, and I noticed the
Spoiler:
Clayface cameo
too. Also liked the
Spoiler:
Mr. Freeze reference in one of the cells in the room where you locked up Harley with all those ice pillars surrounding it.

Indeed. Probably the most memorable part of the game right there, if anything. Might even post a youtube vid of it when replaying that part because I like it that much.

Yeah. I found that pretty anti-climactic for some reason...

Also, in the ending,

Spoiler:
you see a remaining box of that Titan stuff floating on water, and it gets taken by Killer Croc as one of his hands come up from out of the water. If Croc is enhanced by Titan now, could that possibly lead to some kind of sequel?

I know... Still annoyed by the date this game had to be released, despite already having it.

Unfortunately. That's the only complaint I have about it. Could care less if it was made out of metal or whatever.

No, that's Croc.
I'm pretty sure of it.

Yeah, me too. I was also like "WTF?" because it reminded me of an episode I saw on The Batman (animated series) where Joker had stolen this supply of venom previously used by Bane and injected it within himself. Of course, we both know the Joker in that series sucked anyway.

My sentiments exactly. 🙂

Spoiler:
As long as Croc didn't actually eat him but I get the feeling he did

That would be... quite unfortunate, to say the least.

Spoiler:
Maybe he temporarily subdued Croc behind the scenes with his fear-inducing toxins before Batman got to him again when he was collecting the spores.

Yeah well I hope he died.

Spoiler:
Stupid villain made me freak out when I thought my 360 crashed. Bunch of green and purple static filled the screen and I flipped. Fortunately it was just part of the game
.

lol Yeah. That actually scared me too, just as it was meant to. 😄

And I like how on the part where

Spoiler:
Joker's controlling the Batmobile with Batman tied up and heading towards Arkham Asylum, you can't skip that part. If you try, it'll say "Press J to skip" instead of "Press B to skip", and we know there is no J button.

Pretty clever I must admit. Noticed it the 2nd time through.

And on the part where

Spoiler:
Joker has his gun aimed at you as you're tied up, I think death is inevitable there because I tried using both joysticks and the d-pad to try and avoid the shot as the game partially suggested, but it wouldn't happen.

Rid, the part in the ending is indeed

Spoiler:
Bane. It's got his gauntlet, with the Venom tube coming off of it.

Also,

Spoiler:
Scarecrow merely falls in the water, and at the time Croc is very distracted with Batman. And as with all Batman media, villains rarely really die. I'm pretty sure he survived, whisked out to sea or something.

I love finding all the riddles that unlock character bio's.

Scarface's tommy gun.

Mr Freeze
