Just completed Arkham Asylum again (3rd time i think?).

Game is really fucking cool. Not enamoured with it's take on the characters (particularly ivy and harley's new costumes) and the boss battles all kinda suck, but it plays great and has a lot of great set-pieces. It often goes the extra mile where it could be expected to play it safe, and is occasionally quite inventive.

Gonna try and play City and watch thru the Nolan films before the film comes out...

Today at the university there were students dressed up entirely in Batman costumes promoting TDKR. I was walking with my friend when Batman called her name. She didn't recognize who he was despite not changing his voice etc. I was like

and you say Bruce Wayne is obviously Batman? You can't even tell which one of your friends is the Batman who just called your name! lol

Although I liked the first movie (more for the nostalgia and the gate it opened into the flaming 90s) I hate batman because it started the whole fashion of tortured superheroes that spend most of their time emoing about "something something dark edgy past mumble mumble I'm-so-emo-I-shit-razor-blades."
I'm more of a positivist guy, but nowaday all superheroes in movies have to be like little bitches crying all the time.

Holy bumps, Batman! If you care about The Dark Knight Rises at all, I recommend you stay away from the internet for the next few days, I've seen some shit I wish I hadn't.

Bane breaks Batman? Joker is alive? Penguin cameo? Aquaman movie trailer after credits? Catwoman being raped for character development? Bane rapes Batman?

Was just about to bump tha topic
Seein TDKR on friday
I think I know like one of the biggest spoilers cos I looked at set photos when they first filmed
but im excited

Batman 1
I bought and beat Arkham City. I think Asylum was just a tighter game; City is just super indulgent in a lot of ways. A lot of stuff feels like it's here because 'it'd be cool', which leads to the plot not making a lot of sense. It's also completely po-faced for the duration which is honestly draining.

Mechanically I like it still, and I appreciate the sheer amount of content they packed into the thing. That being said some of the challenges they add are tedious as fuuuuuucck - like piloting a remote controlled batarang through an air vent.

Batman 2
Read The Black Mirror by Scott Snyder with art by Jock and Francesco Francavilla. The art in this is super good, particularly Francavilla:


Dude does his own colours as well.

It's the most modern batman stuff I've read actually, picking up after that recent 'Batman is dead' stuff - Dick Grayson aka Robin #1 is Batman. Great book.

Batman 3
Kevin Smith started a new podcast series recently called 'Fatman on Batman' where he interviews people about batman. Personally I think Smith's a damn good raconteur but even if you're of the type that can't stomach him I'd recommend just to listen to his guests talk real deep about batman. The first week he had Paul Dini on who straight up started crying talking about some of his scripts for the animated series. I'm currently half way through his interview with Mark Hamill where the guy basically just nerds out about old cartoons for about 3 hours. It's my thing i guess...

Fat Man on Batman is great, the Hamill, Paul Dini and Tara Strong episodes at least. But I didn't like the Sorkin one and I haven't listened to #6 properly yet.

Although I liked the first movie (more for the nostalgia and the gate it opened into the flaming 90s)
1966.

Also if you don't like the anti-hero stuff, blame Miller, he was doing that stuff before DKR and long after. Ultimately comic characters are richer for it, now that the dumb shit like Spawn has mostly died out and we're left with the expectation that characters can have at least some depth and complexity to them. Batman is kinda unique among franchises that date all the way back in that it's a really good platform for stories that take advantage of this, at its best.
