GAME SINS | Everything Wrong With Batman: The TellTale Series

[@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight]

Troy Baker as the hero, villain, and love interest? Damn, I'd pay good money to see that. Maybe add in Nolan North for all the extras. It'd be great to see what 1-2 voice actors can do for an entire game.

[@conorm.5331]

And Laura Bailey as the supporting cast.

[@mariokarter13]

Video games are running into the same problem as dubbed anime, a small pool of big name actors in EVERY SINGLE PROJECT making everything sound exactly the fucking same. THEY'RE EVEN USING THE SAME POOL OF ACTORS!

[@Bacbi]

baker has played batman before this, an adult and kids version of the joker + two face, tim drake, jason todd and a couple of more that I have forgo

[@Bacbi]

the thing is that few people are as good and often when they use non voice actors they end up redoing it. let's just say some actors that come in expect to be treated like movie stars. So it's one of the few jobs were being an asshole hurts cause there are 30 others that can do ur voice. Nolan north only does his own voice alot because of the companies thought he could be a "star" because of his popularity, now however he has done more work that requires u to listen for him, like last of us. But he and troy r amazing, infact walken doesn't want to do adr after a movie so nolan has done it for 15+ years.

[@enol1466]

Kifflom Dolphin I mean, all games nowadays are very sinful, but I feel like Telltale put alot of effort into this one. They could have made a basic Two face/ Penguin story but they went a different route and told a new/orignal story and as a huge Batman fan I highly respect it.

Funny how that absolutely does not fit to Batman, unless you are a genius billionair, who knows Martial Arts, looks like a fucking model and has his parents murdered. Not exactly the everyday Joe.

[@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight]

+akrybion It was meant to be a generic description of the "you and I are alike" dialogue cliche. You are right that Batman doesn't particularly apply, but pretty much your average main character would fit the bill, especially the annoyingly common brooding Batman-expies who speak with a gruff voice while avenging their loved ones.

[@boyzaya15]

[@twinodoom]

In episode 5, Catwoman blatantly states that they "had one night of sex", indicating that the sex scene did happen. She also states that she only wanted to get close to Bruce from the beginning in that same episode, and Harvey was just a connection. She's a sociopath: She knew Harvey thought they had a relationship, because she was exploiting him. She knew. But she just didn't care.

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

The Waynes being crooked is a fun twist.... When they did it in Grant Morrison's batman RIP.

[@conorm.5331]

I know right

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

it was a fun twist the first time they did it. But now they KEEP doing it... I've yet to see anyone make the Waynes even remotely interesting WITHOUT doing it

[@noctuscosande1746]

Flashpoint. That's it. That's the end. The alternate universe twist was good.

[@CreditR01]

Vicky Vale? They seriously made Vicky Vale a villain? All the dozens and dozens of baddies in the rogue gallery and they use VICKY VALE? And that's seriously Penguin? His mask makes him look like a seagull! As fucking sick as I am of them putting Joker in literally every goddamn Batman anything there is, at least he's not the main villain here. The idea of Bruce interacting with him pre-Joker is also a bit interesting.

[@enol1466]

CreditR01 Yes, Vicki Vale is the villian, I know it seems odd but trust ne, if you actually play the game it all comes together in the end. It's a good alteration to the lore and fits the story well.

[@ShinobiPXO]

They didn't make Vikci Vale a villain. They made their own villain, Victoria Arkham, aka, Lady Arkham. Her parents ran Arkham but after they were killed, she was sent to a foster home with the Vale family, and later took the last name Vale to hide her identity

[@ryancarson6962]

ShinobiPXO no that's still Vicki Vale. That's just giving her a different name.

[@ShinobiPXO]

+Ryan Carson No, that is just Victoria Arkham pretending to be Vicki Vale. Vikci Vale was never related to the Arkams, she never had a vendetta against the Wayne family, nor was she ever abused by her parents, who were her *birth* parents, not foster ones. The Lady Arkham we get in this game is a fundamentally different person from who Vicki Vale is supposed to be, so we can safely say she is not the same character

[@ryancarson6962]

ShinobiPXO she is. It's just Vicki Vale with a twist put on her like with the Waynes. And while non telltale Vicki isn't like this, telltale Vicki is like this. This is just a different version of Vicki Vale. Like regime superman from injustice or all those different movie batmans. So she isn't the same character but a different version of the character.

[@gameplayer2014]

You can actually catch up to people in free fall. Mythbusters confirmed it.

[@p.v.7269]

gameplayer2014 true but it depends on the difference in weight and the distribution of that weight. In a vacuum environment with no wind resistance or air, all objects fall at the same speed. With air pressure factoring in, heavy objects fall faster due to increased gravitational pull toward the earth. But, heavy objects that are widely shaped have more surface area for air to push against them and slow the falling speed. So the ideal speed would be a heavy person whose weight is distributed thinly or focused in one spot rather than a heavy person with a wide berth all around.

[@wyveriusblackfire3834]

@@p.v.7269 Indeed, but Bruce is definitely heavier than Selena and Selena was falling with her back facing the ground and Bruce put his hands flat out in front of him to reduce air resistance.

[@xorras8037]

About that whole "better make sure im dead". Bruce described every single villain "killing" hero and leaving without checking the body, so that hero could use the plot sorcery and survive.

I was looking for this comment. Guess chess is too difficult for Dartigan.

[@PrettyWeirdDuck]

“By the way, can we have a game where Troy Baker plays the hero, the villain, and the love interest? I feel he could pull it off. " Picture it! The male hero: ruggedly handsome. The male villain: devilishly handsome. The love interest: a beautiful mix of stereotypically feminine and masculine qualities. Example… stereotypically Masculine -> He can rewire his kitchen… stereotypically Feminine -> and bake a cake in it. stereotypically Feminine -> He writes flowery lovely poetry… stereotypically Masculine -> and he’s a rock god with his mighty shredding axe. You get the idea. The kicker is the Love Interest is an ugly man. Can you imagine, as you play the game, the Villain meets the Love Interest and the Villain’s like “He left me for you? WTF?! I get it, it’s the winning personality thing. He feels sorry for you" You have the option of making the Love Interest raise a BFG and shooting the Villain dead as a reaction. That's a great excuse to have a boss fight. Or, you can make the Love Interest say a one-liner, then shoot the Villain.

Sin 48: Selena had cuts on her eye reminiscent of the goggles she wears as Catwoman. Also, the goggles didnt exactly hide her face well.

[@seanrogers3389]

The sin about batman falling at the same speed as cat woman isn't exactly correct because cat woman isn't going face first like batman the air resistance reduced her falling speed where as batman is able to fall faster because he is in a dive.

[@JAXTAROO]

The thing I hate about Telltale is that they never stick to their plans for stories, each episode gives them time for re writes but they never explain the stuff they were building up. Example the big hulking Zombie dude with the right arm red veins. I had to find out on a wiki that this was blockbuster and he looked like a cool threat. then you see when people get infected with the drug they have blue veins on their right arm. you are thinking" oh so is zombie dude some sorta prototype, is he still alive, what caused that reaction?" then NOTHING. they literally put him in a corner in Arkham and he never says jack shit. like Oh ok we are done with this guy never speak of him again on what he was, nope you cannot even talk to him he is done. I can think of more example like why did Vikki wait that long to kill the foster parents if they were actual monsters, why did we never go into more detail about crooked Wayne and we just had to accept that he was like that to people. where the fuck did lady arkham get her fucking tech from!?!.

[@fuckthisstupidasshandleshit]

Remember making this comment? That's how long two years is.

[@jackfables3470]

24:45 Well, to be fair, this kind of his thing : in the graphic novels, it's definitely not uncommon for The Joker to have knowledge of criminal activity before Batman uncovers it and he does tease him about it on very rare occasions. The most surprising thing about it is that the reader is often left to wonder how he gained that knowledge, exactly (especially if he's seemingly isolated in a cell). Then again, some stories show that he knows exactly how to convince people into doing his bidding or giving him the information he wants. It's one of his character attributes - like Batman's ability to sneak past anyone and into any place.

After these latest two episode, I've seen a trend when it comes to likes and dislikes. When he does a game that more people feel like it deserves sins, they usually say things like "Thank you" or "This game deserved all the sins it got," but when he does games that many feel are really good, like Final Fantasy 15, you will usually see more comments like "This was too nitpicky" or "You just didn't understand the game you idiot."

I never understood why theres a timer for dialogue options in these games if some of the dialogue you're listening to to affect your choice making doesnt end until the bar is almost used up

[@SC-xt8lz]

Batman and catwoman wouldn't fall at the same rate since batman is heavier and he is diving down, while catwoman is more spread out

[@v10lentv10let]

7:19 To be fair he did see her with her mask goggles off when he caught from falling off the building so he would know what she looks like.

[@saintakins187]

There is a reason why Telltale strongly advise players to think long & hard about their choices whenever playing their games, because one bad choice equals a depressing dark story. Sure you could try to stop John Doe from becoming The Joker & Harvey Dent from becoming Two-Face, however doing so is inevitable like Thanos in Marvel's Avengers Infinity War. Sometimes you can't go against Canon continuity, that's why main character immunity exist because nobody likes seeing their favorite fictional protagonist in fiction get dealt a bad hand.

[@Malidictus]

Sounds like you have a cold. Best wishes and get well soon :)

[@Canadian_Zac]

The black eye shows she's cat woman because of the cuts around it as well, indicating that the black eye was caused by something that could cut the skin as well, such as goggles being punched really hard.

[@Arri_Yawn]

You missed one. In the final scene with the press conference, the van used by an assassin is originally turned in the opposite direction. So the assassin managed to magically turn around the van.

[@MarcYuneski]

Let's talk about how Alfred bitches at you for nearly killing the sniper whether or not you actually take a violent route

[@ITheIM7IOmegaI]

I would've added some removed sins like: Sully playing as Falcone (-1), "Goddamn Circus Freak" (-5), Steve Blum as Blockbuster (not Solomon grundy) (-1 ), the ending of episode 1 (-5 sins), the hilarious death scene of being shanked in the bar (-2 ), the choice between Harvey and Catwoman (-1), being able to punch cobblepot, twice (-2), The plot twist of lady Arkhams identity (- 5), the joker not being the main antagonist (-1), the jokers voice actor giving a fresh take on the joker (-1), punching Dent (-1), the choice/battle at the end of episode 4 (-3 sins), the confrontation of dent/Cobblepot in episode 5 (-5 for Harvey's emotional controntation and - 2 for the penguin), the hilarious death scene of getting dog-piled by inmates in Arkham (-1), a overall good try on the batman mythos with telltale games (-3) (ignore the crossing of words, not intentional)

[@jerbs5346]

23:00 You do realize that Gotham's justice system is corrupt and doesn't function like a normal one, and Harvey is mad at Bruce right?

[@crescentmoon3764]

SIN 48 DEBUNK He could tell by her voice and eye color as well as her black eye, it is implied he only knows it by her black eye but the voice is a dead giveaway.

[@crescentmoon3764]

SIN 75 DEBUNK He said they were never forgotten, not the evidence.

[@joshuadrew5223]

Name a singular billionaire who got their wealth without the exploitation of labor... I'll wait. Also sinning Batman and Joker having the same voice actor is f*king stupid. That's a cool fact, not a sin.

[@Mr22222n00b]

@5:38 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT! IT'S BEEN OVER 80 YEARS (in Batman's debut) PLEASE STOP REMINDING US DC! WE LITERALLY DON'T FUCKING CARE ANYMORE!

[@diddymelone2265]

the chess move being illegal might just be more clever than having a totally legitimate turn open the secret door.

[@berry186]

You said that you don't sound that different. But, I've been with you for a long time and I honestly thought you were a new guy. I didn't even realize you were sick until you said so. Get well soon and happy belated new years.

[@rage_2000]

0:45 did you just shared an idea and then counted it as a sin?

[@A_Crimson_Clover]

Telltale's lazy. Most of the Quick Time Events look the same if passed or failed. Srsly look it up **DING** In Arkham Asylum when Batman is fighting Zsasz if Batman fails the QTE then Zsasz stabs him. But Zsasz's knife is not even bloody after. **DING**

[@TheSmokingSkull]

The Batman Telltale Series is kind of what I want the Gotham TV show to be like in the future. I would actually love to see Robin Lord Taylor wearing that Penguin mask from the first season of the game, or wearing the Google Glass style monocle he wears later on...

[@sillybustertrickybee2023]

The horrible game overs should've been a bonus round

[@kendallchaos]

To be fair making the key an illegal move is actually pretty smart (if you put aside the fact that he uses a chess board as a lock)

[@aerothelich2023]

"So Selina have you been beat up by someone?" "N-No, I.... err.... I..." (you fell down some stairs) "I fell down some stairs"

[@bipstymcbipste5641]

Do you think this joke will get old?

[@RadinV1]

Dated joke

[@umbralbushido8636]

13:54 "Who the hell starts a conversation like that I just sat down!"

[@Resident_Legal]

Why is having Troy and Laura starring opposite each other is so many games a sin?! They are perfect for each other in video games. One part of me wishes that Laura had married Troy instead of Travis in real life. They are also probably the most gifted voice and motion capture actors out there.

[@DarthJoshReturns]

But Bailey and Baker play the couple so often, you have to wonder if Travis agreed to polygamy with him or something.

[@Resident_Legal]

Travis has definitely agreed to polygamy in games, with the exception of this game, but not in real life.

[@johnhandzlik659]

Marko Stevanovic I think its okay to say Laura and troy are married in video games because how many times did there character been romantically involved

[@filorvus6982]

33:29 4 women with blond hair and pink+green clothes (also 5th head mirrored in the center) 3 women with black hair and light purple+black clothes (also head on the right of the screen) 3 guys with short brown hair and gray-green clothes 3 guys with brown hair and black clothes with hood 3 guys with light brown hair and black+light blue clothes (also 4th guy with same head on left side of screen, but body was replaced with body of: 2 women with black bunch of hair + black clothes

[@Ward1706]

See M. Night Shamalyan? That's how you do a plot twist. Not your bullshit.

[@jackfables3470]

19:01 Here's an additional sin : even though Harvey Dent has no idea Bruce is Batman, you just can't order Batman not to sneak up on people as he sees fit. That guy even successfully sneaks up on Superman, despite his many types of vision and his super hearing. You just don't tell Batman not to be Batman.

[@christopherzarcone1363]

So batman has an ability to slow down time to gain perception of a combat situation. Do we call it W.A.T.S or B.A.T.S? Also how does one link a grappling hook (a probability pneumatic device) to a computer cloud?

[@Refloni]

Maybe it has a... targeting system that's connected to the internet so that it only targets structures firm enough not to collapse under Batman's weight? The whole Bat-system is a huge security flaw.

[@turkeysandwich3645]

It doesn't actually slow down for batman, it just slows down for the player so they have enough reaction time -_-

[@stonebesilver]

Bruce: I came to check on Selina. Harvey: what with your pants off?!! Bruce: yes I can come here with my pants 👖 off, I’m rich I can do that..........😶😐😐😐😐😐🙄

[@BK-sh2pn]

Epic video, But its BLOCKBUSTER not SOLOMON GRUNDY 15:18

[@janelance7257]

Another sin I just noticed: at 14:20 (or somewhere around) Hill tells Bruce to not share the recording with anyone, or Gordon and Montoya will be in trouble. Yet there is no indication anywhere that Bruce Wayne in any way interested in their destiny. We, the viewer, know that Batman works with Gordon and likes the police, but Hill is not supposed to know this

[@BatPierrot]

25:10 yeah, that's actually why you CAN choose to get out of Arkham without the help of the Joker. Seriously, half of your critics are choices you made. The other are about Batman LORE. Nothing about the game itself. Sure its not as great as it should be (not enough choices, etc) but its really the top 5 of what we recently got about Batman. ANd "worst joker ever" are you kidding me ???

[@TooLateForIeago]

The part that was beyond me was why people were talking to Bruce about his decades-long dead parents at a party.
