Spoiler Okay so I'm playing Arkham Knight again and I have a question...

Big Boss · November 23, 2016, 05:51:07 PM

Why didn't Jason just tell everyone that Batman was Bruce Wayne? I mean, he surely knew.

Jono · November 23, 2016, 06:38:33 PM

Because the Batmobile

Nick McIntyre · November 23, 2016, 06:40:12 PM

Probably because some part of him still cared for Batman, but in his pre-Red Hood state he'd most likely just claim Batman is only his to torment.

Doctor Doom · November 23, 2016, 07:29:31 PM

Because he wants to be the one destroy Batman.

Also because the writing sucks.

Turkey · November 23, 2016, 07:31:02 PM

Probably for the same contrived reason the Joker and half of Batman's other villains don't do so.

I don't hate it as much as I used to. It's pretty fun to drive.

I restarted it too. Gonna Platinum it. At least it's only 243 Riddler Trophies instead of 440. Though I think I read it kinda evens out because they require more effort to get in Arkham Knight. IMO it's the second best game in the series. And I'm still impressed by the graphics. The city is huge. And it's so detailed. The architecture, the lightning, the particles. It looks great. City looks pretty great for a PS3/360 game too.

I'm going for Platinum too, not looking forward to getting most of the AR stars. Be careful, there's a known bug with the bomb rioters that might make you have to do a total restart if it happens.

I figure cause he wants to reduce the odds of someone else killing the batman. Once he tells the people of gotham that Bruce Wayne is the batman, basically every criminal in gotham that has a bone to pick with the batman is going to go after the remaining staff at the Wayne building

And what reason is that?

The Joker doesn't care who's under the mask (in fact he literally can't see Bruce Wayne -- only Batman), Ra's Al Ghul respects him too much to bother, Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul won't out him for obvious reasons, and the Court of Owls wouldn't gain anything from it.

Ah, that makes sense. I figured for the Joker, it was because without Batman, he wouldn't really exist, and without Joke, Batman wouldn't really exist.

At least that's what one of the Arkham games was painting.

Would it change much if Batman's identity did get reviled to the world? The guy has no kids nor family so he has no one to put into danger besides an old butler and I see the law/military using the same tech he uses regardless of the price.

Also, how is Batman managing to keep his identity a secret? Any idiot is able to tell that Batman has to be rich in order to have his equipment which he would be getting by some arms dealer. Everyone knows Bruce is an arms developer and he's rich, so it shouldn't be hard to put those two things together.

If the crooks of the word knew his identity they would directly attack the Wayne buildings and target the people he is known to be an associate of.

Ok so in addition to my question, what are everyone's thoughts on the game as a whole?

At the time it came out? Pretty overhyped. Otherwise it's a pretty nice game. Great visuals and alternate costumes, decent story, the Arkham Knight has a pretty fucking cool design.

The Batmobile missions were ass though, and Rocksteady's use of Hush and Deathstroke was just disgusting.

I find racing in the Batmobile alright, the tank mode missions get irritating.

Also, fuck that final Riddler race. Goddamn.

Elai · November 24, 2016, 03:58:27 PM

because arkham knight's writing is absolute garbage

🂿 · November 24, 2016, 05:00:15 PM

Because piss poor writing.

Big Boss · November 25, 2016, 07:53:54 PM

Jesus Christ, collecting all 243 Riddler shit was a pain.

Story was complete shit.

Why would they market the Arkham Knight as if he's a new character and just make him Jason Todd? Why not just make him Red Hood like he's supposed to be? Why try to trick comic fans for a twist we all still saw a mile away?

Too many unanswered questions.

To be fair, an Anti-Batman is way cooler than some moody jackass with a red bowl on his head.

I will say, the Riddler's dialogue was amazing.
He worked really well as comedic relief.
