Oh that thing - I thought you meant for the thugs or something.

Yeah - the part that extends out is for your armor upgrades - that depletes first and then the lined bar is your actual health.

Just fought Freeze, this game rules so hard. Was fun thinking of all he ways to attack him.

My only complaint is with the overwhelming number of riddler trophies. I know I'll never find them all so I don't really have any interest in collecting any of them.

I just found the memorial chalk outline of the Waynes behind the Monarch Theater.

Of course.

i am pretty bad at this game so far. im stuck on a level right now and im so angry

I finally took the time to read the Arkham City Stories. It's pretty interesting to have the background explained. Two questions about Arkham City Stories though:
1) According to them, the Penguin was sent to a boarding school in England. Is that true in the comics, as well, or was that just to explain his cockney accent?
2) Also according to them, there was a fight at the Iceberg Lounge once, in which a person broke a beer bottle and stabbed the Penguin in the face with it. Doctors told him they couldn't remove the remains of the bottle. Is that a well-known part of the Penguin's character (face scars, etc)?

All of that is made up for the video game. This is the first time, that I know of, that the Penguin has ever been portrayed as British.

didn't the Penguin have an accent in "The Batman" cartoon?

angry ryan · « **Reply #259 on:** January 08, 2012, 02:31:07 PM »

He had like a snobbish-high-society-Niles-from-Fraiser style accent.

I've now gotten all of the Riddler trophies except for one: the impact-sensitive one you have to divebomb on in the Industrial District. Try as I might, I can't get it to work. For the last 25 or so Riddler trophies, I had to use a WikiCheats site to learn how to get them.

I just need to rescue one more hostage. Is it worth collecting more? Is the final bit with Riddler good?

I'm doing that now, so I don't know.

I wish I had played the game on Normal instead of Easy now that I know about the Game Plus or whatever it's called.

SockhopShindig · « **Reply #264 on:** January 15, 2012, 02:00:32 PM »

And the answer is: eh, not really. Although I hadn't even realized Aaron Cash was still missing.

Really weird online FPS, loosely based on a crappy Batman storyline from like a year ago.

No, whatever Tony Daniel was doing in the Batman title.

i ditched batman as catwoman, but it makes you replay the game and save him. that's beat.

I'm playing through a second time and I'm surprised no one mentioned this:

So there's story DLC out soon! I'm excited!

Quote

Warner said those who already own the game can download the Harley Quinn's Revenge Pack, which will be available in all international markets beginning Wednesday, 30th May from the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Marketplace. Warner's original 30th April announcement was incorrect.

In the DLC you interchange between playing as both Batman and Robin to uncover Harley's plan. You "shut the gates on the urban mega-prison forever". There's a new storyline, new environments and a new gang of thugs.

The list of content for the UK version of the Game of the Year Edition does not mention the Batman Year One animated film, included in the US version.

Fuck. I thought it was April BAH.
