Arkham City is out. It is awesome. Play it and then talk about it in here. Use spoiler tags okay? C'mon son.

Grey Ghost

I love

Batman

Grey Ghost

I got into an argument last night with some silly people who were trying to say that Batman wasn't the best superhero

I mean, what the hell did they think they were doing

Druhim

They were right. It's Jack Knight.

Vixx

I gotta say, watching Blake play this I have been extremely impressed with the AI this time round

like dudes shooting out gargoyles or spotting your traps (like explosive gel and not going near it)

it is neat

I Win Swordfights

I loved the way it ended.

Like. I felt like Arkham Asylum tried too hard for its finale.

And this one was just like

Fuck it, you aren't getting a happy ending. Shit sucks, go home. This is what happens when you don't kill anyone.

Spider-Man

Who, you know, is great
But come on

But none of them could say why
They just kept coming back to "Batman is just a rich dude who got to buy all his shit"

Muggins

I know basically nothing about him so I can't really engage here
I suppose I should check him out some time

Kusuguttai

Basically yeah
I tried to expound on the tremendous tragedy he suffered and the years of travel and training he had to undergo to get where he is, but they didn't really care

freakish light

edit: ya got it, never mind

yeah I mean, much respect for Mr. Parker

designing his own web-slinging shit and all

but the dude totally got bitten by a spider and that was like 90% of the work done for him

Grey Ghost

I mean Pete had his own tragedy and all, and the dude's had a rough life and done some hard work, no doubt
But 2 of the 3 other people at the table were just completely writing Batman off as a loser

it was an opinion I'd literally never encountered before

DJ Eebs

superman is better than batman, and so is spider-man

and this is not a dig on batman. it is not a crime to be not as cool as those guys.

Vixx

did they say that Batman was the 1%

BlankZoe

I honestly think Batman, Superman and Spider-Man are the three perfect superheroes

Batman is the ideal dark vigilante

Superman is the ultimate heroic savior

and Spider-Man is the likeable everyman that you can relate to

Vixx

Batman and Spider-man rank very highly in my list of best superheroes

Superman however does not

DJ Eebs

batman is the 1% let's not go crazy here

I was yelling it as I was dive bombing crooks in arkham city

"I am the one perceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent"

No, that's a valid argument.

Why should we be impressed with Batman, when he can just buy his massive physical strength, martial expertise, forensics and criminology knowledge, driving sense of justice...

Clint Eastwood

i thought this game's ending was amazing.

the bit during the credits was chilling. also, seriously, who would have predicted that fuckin CLAYFACE would be the last boss of the game? it was totally awesome and out of left field almost entirely.

DJ Eebs

my roommate tried to start a "WHY DOESN'T BATMAN JUST KILL THE JOKER" debate with me tonight and I basically told him to fuck off with that shit

then he's like "dick grayson would totally kill the joker" and I'm like "what?"

how awesome is Mr. Freeze in this game?

HE'S PRETTY COOL

YOU KNOW, HE'S PRETTY CHILL

BlankZoe

Wait what

Dick Grayson is like Bruce Wayne but less brutal

Speed Racer

cold puns aside Mr. Freeze was my favorite part of the game

BlankZoe

Really all of the villains were fantastic

Kusuguttai

WHOAAAHOO

Joker leaves a voicemail singing "Only You" to Batman.

Blake T

Though, he did give me the cold shoulder.

DJ Eebs

he tried to FREEZE me
