i guess you will say that about all the future games. since its clear the multiverse has opened and "arkhamverse" games in future will have infinite number of batmen, supermen, banes etc (or maybe just 13 because there are 13 universes in the multiverse...) so when the 13th batman dies then its really over. until then they find the 14th dimension

One thing I will say is that this version of Harley is pretty much one of the most evil incarnations of the character. I kind of like that they write them as being absolutely awful people, who can still twistedly think of themselves as the heroes of their own story (Harley giving a lecture to Batman on sucking as a person is meant to be heavily hypocritical, but it is what an awful person would probably do in reality). Waller was more than OK with sacrificing them for a reason.

[@dariusdafigga]

Yeah absolutely no way they did, you can tell because there are so many out of character moments in the game.. Harley & Ivy were never a thing in the Arkham games, it wasn't even hinted at. Ivy died in Arkham Knight so did she come back to life as an adult, start a relationship with Harley, die, then come back to life again as a child? How would THE WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE let Superman be that much of an idiot and walk right into Brainiac's trap, then be even more dumb and allow himself to be captured with him?? He even says "it's a trap Clark" but he didn't create any sort of plan to not allow himself to be brainwashed or to deprogram it if he was?? Even if you didn't play the Arkham games, anyone who knows a decent amount about Batman would know this is outrageously out of character for him

[@dagda1180]

Basically 😂😂😂

[@SignoftheMagi]

So. Bit of a lore dump. Captain Boomerang and the Rogues (Flash's normal foes) all have a code of respect and conduct. It keeps things from getting out of control when they fight. The last villain on the planet to piss on the Flash would be Boomer. Hells, he would be the guy to punch out the asshole who tried. Boomer RESPECTED Flash, because the Flash treated him decently. This is also why Boomer was on a lot of Task Force X teams, because he was smart, disciplined, skilled and never tried to commit more crimes on a mission. He avoided civilian casualties whenever he could and didn't let his ego get in the way. Harley Quinn on the other hand is a mass murderer who has killed thousands of people, including kids. She has tortured, multilated, poisoned, blackmailed and done far worse. And she lectures Batman on morals.

[@ziephel-6780]

They couldn't even write the bad guys properly despite them trying to prop them above the Justice League. The Suicide Squad are the writer's self-inserts lmao

[@TheEffectOfMass]

I would like to consider myself a Lantern lore buff. I'm not even sure where to start on how they handled the power ring. People like to say "oh it was corrupted." But the Guardians are one of the oldest living beings in the universe. It's safe to say they're also one of the smartest. They have contingency plans in case something like that happens to a ring or ring bearer. A Lantern wouldn't be able to run amok for long without some kind of intervention from Oa. But all that aside, even if he were somehow able to use the ring, I highly doubt King Shark has the will power to create such a large construct in the first place.

The funny thing is, Bane *does* use guns. It's just that he needs to get his shit custom made because, surprise-surprise, a psychotic steroid junkie who can bench press armored cars like stuffed toys at a local carnival can't use firearms that were meant to be used by people with *normal hands* . Don't worry though op, I'm not blind to the sarcasm in your comment. I'm just pointing something out. To add to your fact, Bane actually knows how to fight with weapons. But just like any other bad guy who has access to super strength, he prefers a more "hands on" approach when he kills people. To make matters worse, Bane's one of the few big name Batman villains who get stuck with bad writers who think he's just a street-level version of the Hulk from Marvel. The same writers who change Harvey Dent to always look like an asshole before he got disfigured. The same writers who keep forgetting that Penguin isn't crazy, he's just as much of an asshole crime boss as Black Mask and everybody else at Blackgate. The *same* , *writers* , who can't tell whether or not Batman has more contingency plans for his enemies than his own kids.

Tbh she did something similar before. She died then came back since she is a plant lady.

Knowing what Suicide squad needs to do, the Flash stops for a moment to get shot intentionally. At the end of the fight, they give a speech, a hint, on how to defeat them, apologizes for what they've done and need to stop the rest of heroes. Instead of pissing on him.

It's so obnoxious how Harley Quinn suddenly became some kind of Anti-hero and they have to now rewrite her toxic relationship with the joker as something she regrets. In Arkham Knight she was still obsessed with him, even after his death and she was free of him. This Harley was not the girl power version they're trying to promote, they just rewrote her. If they're gonna do that, and then change Deadshot with a really weak excuse, why are they setting this in the Arkhamverse? Just so when I play Arkham Asylum, City, Origins, or Knight, I just get this bad taste in my mouth that Batman is gonna be brainwashed into breaking his rule?

I would say MUA has a better story and slightly better gameplay Playing with all of the characters feels exactly how you would expect them to and the roster is pretty good. You can even play with different version of characters (Jay Garrick Flash or Hal Jordan Green Lantern) just like in MUA. If it would be remastered with better graphics, a longer and updated story it would easily be a top seller. I'd even be fine with more characters as DLC as long as they are of the same quality or better I would definitely recommend playing if you haven't already, feel like a lot of the younger DC fans have never gotten to experience this gem of a superhero game

And the big fat head-sized cherry on this comically large creme-pie of a decision, this version of Harley talked a man into suicide after Joker had the mans daughter tested on with Titan formula before Arkham Asylum.

But that's how Suicide Squad works. You take characters people don't care about, have the liberty to kill most of them and can get people to care about them if you try. No one cared about king shark, ratcatcher, polkadot man and bloodsport but Gunn got people to like them. Peacemaker is also more popular thanks to suicide squad.

[@brandonlyon730]

@@kevinmegannety1163 The problem is that DC keeps shoehorning them in into big save the world plots that should be far out of there leagues. They should be set to more grounded missions not against alien conquerors.

In my opinion, borderlands set the gold standard for looter shooters. It’s got so many different enemies through the different games. The bosses are fun and memorable (most of them) Characters can be fun You could grind, say, the unkempt Harold for hours just to find the *perfect* attachments.

[@shcdemolisher]

Yeah!! I've just got the borderlands collection (Except 3 since it wasn't in it but is on the store) on my switch (Also have it on pc), and man are they so much fun!

I don't think we have to worry about this being how people remember the end of Arkham Batman. That would require people actually play Suicide Squad, and almost nobody's doing that now.

Better Dark versions of Superman were made a long time before Homelander became popular or created. Just admit that your own edgelordiness is making you too pathetic to lookup darker Supermen.

[@bryanmangual5735]

The person who chastised Batman for "hurting people" is the same person who is excited to find civilians in bunkers to do who knows what to them

[@buffsniper]

Yup. And she killed toddlers And sewed their dead bodies into a one big pile of flesh, And sended it to The parents😂

[@Fusionade]

And is also a psychotic crazy person. So her chastising someone and being unaware of self-reflection is LITERALLY IN CHARACTER. Did you guys not play Arkham Asylum? The amount of times Harley and Joker and others call Batman crazy and deranged…

[@Whazzupie]

Difference being is that they're directed that way in Arkham to show you how warped their point of view is doing such cruel and inhuman things, the goal is to get the player to think on the kernel of truth that Batman IS crazy like them, but works with (relatively) stellar morals in comparison. But you're playing the vigilante hero-- they're *supposed* to be the opposite in Arkham. But the complaint from people is the writers (and directors) *should* know what works and doesn't playing as a villain or anti-hero, but this direction they've took falls FLAT on it's face by *propping itself up* as if it's doing the opposite in the narrative itself. It isn't immersive, it's *very* clashing and offputting-- but not because they're evil like you argue. That's a default and an expectation, we're playing villains (and Harley is particularly messed up in Arkham). People just don't see the logic of this translating to IRL motivation to make it the way it is, but they're fully aware this was made this way on purpose. And no one can understand *why* all of this was finalized other than the lack of veteran insight who's job it was to tie things together in a flow that makes sense, even with nonsensical characters and narrative since they borrowed from the Arkham-verse (because all the top developers for Rocksteady left over a year ago). Best people can figure is things were changed very early, or half way, because not many believe the game has been in development for 7 years. Producers (from the beginning) wanted something for profit, the game was made with the floaty objective-based model with tacked on skins, but they-then still lacked insight to interpret from that made it inherently fun or at all compelling beyond a mindless shlooter arcade game. There's no Arkham background for any of these characters except Harley and Batman, but loads in comics, and they *still* chose to make their interpretations in this way; which clearly didn't meld with the already established Arkham player-base lol I don't know what world they live in where they thought they'd like it; so it's just a baseless hook to garner attention for a game they (hopefully) knew the majority of people didn't want or ask for.

Like Condiment King having a city staked with an condiment imaginable plus some food or KiteMan wanting to rid every tree in the city just because it embarrassed him as a kid and ruined his favorite kite
