I have something for the Season of Infamy that I don't know the specific trope, if it exists at all.

During the Mad Hatter mission, which, if you start a new campaign with the DLC, unlocks directly after exiting the Clocktower after telling Gordon that Barbra is Oracle and watching footage of her abduction, features 3 segments in which Batman employs the Remote Hacking Device, which is not unlocked until just before the airship section, long after the mission can be played. Is this a continuity snarl (my understanding is that Continuity Snarl is more between different entries in a franchise) Gameplay Story Segrigation or something else?

Because it does not belong here. Audience reactions don't belong on the main work page.

then why do we have a trope called obvious beta? because pc realese is just this.

developers admitted their fault and pulled the game from steam to fix this performance issues, and FAILED.

i am quite suprised that i am the only one thinking like this.

Mentioning how poorly it ran seems more than reasonable. Mentioning how much people complained and reacted... less so.

But yeah, I can't see any reason why we shouldn't mention the PC's issues at release.

should we really spoiler tag The Joker's return ? I mean, who actually believed that they could make a game without having him present in some way ?

The main page has this under Shipper on Deck, verbatim:

  • To a lesser extent, Scarecrow is this for Batman and Poison Ivy based on a few offhand comments. He thinks that Batman was able to win her over by using his charm to gain her trust. Since she does pull a Heel–Face Turn thanks to Batman's influence, he may not be entirely wrong. Of course being a villain, he hopes they're Together in Death.

Did I miss something, because I don't remember anything like that.

I not so good with editting or eglish so someone else can have this one.

The devlopers think of everything

If you go into detective mode and look at Barbra Gordon's / oracle spine. You will see there is a break from where she was shot. It's even in the right spot to just parlaze her lower body.

With the Arkham Knight's identity revealed as Jason Todd, does this make Troy Baker the only person to have played two different Robins in the same continuity? If so, I want to add that to the trivia page.

I AM SPOILER TAGGING THIS, AS IT CONCERNS A LEAK.

There has been a leak suggesting that the game has Multiple Endings. Seeing as how Rocksteady intends this to be their Grand Finale to the series, would this count as an inversion of Torch the Franchise and Run (making a canon sequel to Arkham Knight hard to do by giving MORE content, not less)?

First of all, there aren't Multiple Endings. The so-called "leak" (which has nothing to do with actual story content or resolution) said that completing some side missions will create a Golden Ending and post-game campaign.

That is not the same as Multiple Endings which comes from a choice mechanic.

Changed the quote. Like it? Or should I change it back to the old Scarecrow one?

The old quote is better since its more reflective of the relationship to Batman. This quote makes it sound like Arkham Knight is the hero and the game is celebrating his campaign to take Gotham.

An excellent point! I just changed it back, and put the Arkham Knight's quote on the Quotes page instead. Thank you so much for your input.

Fridge Logic: From the trailers, the Batmobile can fire rockets to blow up other cars. How can this conceivably not kill the riders? And I thought Batman doesn't like killing...

Or can someone explain to me why this is fine, or if the only taboo Batman has is using guns.

Thats more Headscratcher than Fridge Logic. Personally, lets wait for the game to come out and see how the game justifies it. Trailers are one thing, the game is another.

Secondly, they mention that the Arkham Knight has unmanned drones and the like, it can be like that, robotic tanks and so on.

Batman's taboo is against using guns in the common usage. I.E. shoot up and murder people and he doesn't use it as his first choice weapon for either offense or defense. However in a war setting, when the other side is using superior firepower, tanks and drones, to destroy stuff in the path, then guns are fair game.
