    Well, isn't that more of a comic thing, and not neccessarily something that's part of the Arkham canon? Damien, that is.

    Besides, Batman has slept with plenty of ladies. He's sleeping with catwoman right now in her spinoff comic (which is terrible).

    In Batman Beyond, it was implied his longest lasting relationship was with Batgirl.

    I wonder if they ever had a thing in the comics; it would explain why (Museum Spoiler)
    Oracle sounds pretty pissed about the notion of Batman meeting with Talia

    Of course, Justice League had the best possible pairing.

    There's no higher tier in the DC Universe than Wonder Woman.

    And think about it, this was in a group that had Superman in the team, and yet she went with the one non-superpowered member instead.

    Goddamn Batman indeed.

    FAN-fucking-tastic.

    The freezing/game corruption was wide-spread enough to warrant an article in ign.com, and the response from the devs wasn't a good one... they more or less said "it's out of our hands." SIGH! Looks like I'm gonna go play Arkham Asylum till they fix this bullshit.

    I think we can all agree that Batman's greatest love is Silver St. Cloud. I mean she calls him DD and everything.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Batman having a relationship with any of his Bat-progeny just seems wrong, and that even includes the girls. It's like banging your daughter.

    I had an issue once where The game wouldn't load up from the dashboard. I selected "play game" and the screen went black. Turned console off and on and it was fine. i didn't even know there was an issue D:

    Not that it would be the worst thing in the world to have my save corrupted and start over, but I'd prefer not to!

    Would Superman / Superboy be Incest or Masturbation ?

    I had an issue where it "froze" on me once when I went to play the game to start, haven't had it happen again. But if I lost my save I would be kind of pissed, some of those riddler trophies, specifically the batarang ones were a bitchy bitch bitch.

    Maybe they'll have fixed that freeze/corruption issue by the time I get back from my weekend trip. I'm glad it hasn't struck me yet.

    I have a question about a specific use of the batarang:
    Specifically, the reverse batarang. How do you use it? After using it on Ra's al Ghul, I tried using it on some thugs in the old subway from a gargoyle perch but it didn't seem to work. I didn't notice another type of batarang to select in my inventory, and I thought I was following the directions on how to use it: hold LT, target an enemy, and then hold RB.

    For the most part yeah. Its not GTA levels of city, but you do have a lot more to explore and curse at riddler with in this.

    They say it's related to the DLC... and it froze and corrupted my DATA when I tried to play as Catwoman on the DLC map that came with Robin... so I'm prone to believing that. To be fair, it's only happened to me once in 10 hours, but a game breaking bug like that shouldn't happen in a game that allows you no freedom in saving and depends heavily on a single save value for replay value. I've had game breaking bugs before, a good many, but none THIS bad. Keep in mind it did also corrupt my save and forced me to totally restart.

    This poor guy over on the AC forums, had his freeze long after he beat the game and unlocked a ton of stuff... now he has to invest another shit ton of hours into unlocking everything again.

    With such a large and detailed game, such bugs are an issue, but forgivable... but you want to know the devs are on the case... and they pretty much said "this ain't our case, I'll guess maybe we'll check it out, but it's really microsoft/sony's problem."

    I think I'm done with riddler trophies. No, I don't mean 100% done, but, I've unlocked all the stuff I care about (all the challenge/campaign/predator maps, a few of the character trophies), and all the remaining ones are just a pain really and turning the game into something I don't really care about.

    I'll finish new game + then I think I'm going to move on to mostly doing the challenge maps.

    Nope. I take it that's the issue, then. I knew it was something D'oh-worthy.

    Oh thats freaking terrible. Is there a way to copy a save to another open file? I might do that just to be damn sure. I lost all my saves earlier this year to messing up a harddrive transfer I'd hate for batman to screw me like that.

    Actually good thing you asked... I think this addresses JUST that (only for PS3 users though) and this seems to fix the issue, but it's a workaround not a FIX fix.

    http://www.gamepur.com/news/5874-fix-batman-arkham-city-save-data-corruption-issue.html

    I doubt you'll have a problem, it is a minority that have these problems. But, I guess I'd advise you to not play DLC too heavily at this point in time, as the DLC seems to be the culprit. So don't be like me and mix Catwoman DLC with Robin DLC. That's asking for trouble.

    Lol, I do the knife dodge simply because it looks so fucking cool. But trying to do it really can throw you off in a fight. I haven't tried cape stunning them. I just blow them up or build up my combo and take 'um down with one of those instant take-out moves.

    But if you do want to dodge, yes, you hold left stick away from the goon and hold Y/triangle.

    I can dodge them well enough, but I think I only knife-countered once. And that was an accident. I just can't get it. I can comfortably take out 3 guys with machine guns, but 2 guys with pocket knives will make me their bitch.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    Yeah, it's not worth trying to counter the knife guys, just cape flip over them, and roll away when you see the yellow alert thing.

    Arkham Asylum is an awesome game that should not be missed anyways. Also, playing AA first, you appreciate damn near everything in Arkham City that much more.

    Its amazing how they took Batman from AA and made him even better to play as...

    Hmm...I would say that combat for AC is very much improved over AA. That being said AA's atmosphere is just as good as AC's and I really enjoyed those Psych Evaluation tapes you could collect from the first game. Was kind of sad they weren't present in the second.
