All I needed to hear.

Won't be nearly as good as his role as Cockknocker imo.

Some really great screens and teaser trailers out there. They really nailed the environments and the voice acting has me optimistic, can't wait to see some in depth gameplay vids released. Little bit surprised about this one, wasn't following it at all until now.

So who/what is that big fucker? I assume its a character seen in Batman comics but I don't read them so any info? Could always just be a game character too I guess.

Valishar · 12-22-2008, 03:10 AM

I'm guessing he's: Killer Croc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prisonmsagro · 12-22-2008, 03:12 AM

I really.. really..really hope this game will be good. It looks really good and I read most of the interviews/tidbids for it and they actually seem to know some of the Batman lore, that's always a plus. The graphics are just right for Batman and the joker voiced by Mark will bring back some nostalgia likely!

You didn't watch the animated series did you?

Didn't notice at first, but his arms look a bit short and stubby to me (Batman's, I mean)

A 3D batman game is almost doomed to fail from the start, I foresee clunky combat and shitty platforming.

Here is hoping they can do for Batman what they did for Spiderman.

His arms aren't short at all, sir. If you are able to scratch your knee without bending, you're the one with fucked up arms.

I have high hopes for this game, the art style looks very faithful to the comics universe, and I'm looking forward to seeing how dark and gritty they make the various Batman characters we've come to envision mostly as their animated series counterparts.

Speaking of that, I too believe that this is Killer Croc shown on the screenshots. He looks a tad brownish on those pictures, but the video teaser shows him clearly green.

Occido · 12-22-2008, 05:13 PM

I'm pretty sure that's Croc. It's just the orange lighting making him look brown. Look at his face in the close up pic with the moon light on his face and back. He's clearly green.

Twobit Whore · 12-22-2008, 05:16 PM

He's clearly green, just not florescent green. More of a drab green with grayish white underbelly scales.

He looks like he took a wrong turn, and ended up in Arkham instead of a Resistance game.
