They really outdid themselves with riddles and trophies this year...added some that take more skill/creativity to get. Just a great all-around game. They find a way to incorporate almost every recognizable villain, but it somehow works very well. I've always seen Penguin as more of a lightweight character not to be taken as seriously, but he's quite bloodthirsty and violent in this game.

Spoiler:

Mark Hamill said this game will be his last time voicing the Joker. What a great run.

i'm taking my time trying to find all the riddle stuff. holding off on buying a new game until uncharted comes out.

i think i still have 100 ?s to find, and like 20 catwoman ones, still have the freeze tech and faceless victims things to finish too- having a hard time locating them.

Start of the game i thought to myself "cant be bothered with the riddler challenges this time" so skipped a lot, now about halway through the game theyre like crack, i have 150 odd, cant stop til ive got the rest. Its not even fun on the really hard ones, its just that once i start trying i cant stop til i get it.

Slow on this train as the job has me crazily busy, but just got done with the Penguin portions.

Easily one of the cooler videogame villians in a while, and I say that as a batman nerd who isn't always a fan of the character. He was nasty, violent, well voiced, etc. Freaking awesome.

by the end of his stuff i was tired of hearing Cobblepot tho.


catwomans face sitting sneak attack is cool.


the AR missions are enragingly touchy, dunno if i'll ever finish them.

Been too busy to get really deep into the game, but as great as this game is, for some reason it doesn't grab me the way a lot of other top tier games do. Am I alone here?

Anyone else notice in one of Zsasz's phone calls, the poker hand he relates where he said he was cheated has an error(or the cheat was really bad/Zsasz is an idiot)? He says he had 4 sixes, and lost to penguin's 3 to 7 straight flush.

[TheRempel]

Doesn't he say something like 3,4,5,6,8 of hearts? I noticed that too.

[YouR_DooM]

I don't think Zsasz is a genius in the first place. Maybe the fact that he misread was the joke ?

Pretty sure it's stated correctly.

wiki on him indicates very high intellect/cunning. seems like just an oversight by the writers.

I wouldn't put too much stock in accuracy, there are a number of inconsistencies in the game compared to the regular DC Universe.

most disappointing thing about the game - you cant glide down off the big tower, climbed all the way up there for nothing.

How do you get down then? Climb? Seems weird..and disappointing. Game's still a gigantic win though.

[sharpyetblunt]

you get the elevator up and down but theres climbing once you get to the top, at the top theres a ledge which is prime for leaping but once you jump you can glide only for a few seconds before you automatically use your grappling hook and pull yourself back up. Dont see why they wouldnt let you at least glide to the outer walls before pulling you back in. I wanted to divebomb from the top.
