I will always say what my favorite Batman story is when given the chance. Incredibly poignant writing and performances. Conroy never did a better job conveying such raw emotion, internal conflict, and pathos. A true masterpiece that deftly handles mental health and self-doubt.

@AbsoluteBatGal is INSANELY bad. I could go on & on about this aspect alone but that's the gist of it. The best thing to do would be try to ignore it completely, otherwise it's infuriating. - story is a generic mish-mash of older, much better Batman stories. Origins doesn't really commit to...

@flying_trooper @Batman_Beware Origins is straight-up bad in general. The level and world design is as a bottom of the barrel for a AAA game. I guess having the blueprint of the previous 2 games somehow hurt them. Joker is awful throughout, Bane ends up bungled as well, and more issues x.com/MusingBob/stat…

@Jay_to_the_kob @BatmanRouges I outright hate AO Joker from start to finish & the Red Hood walking section is especially egregious with the pompous, hollow dialogue that's like it was AI-generated using Killing Joke as the main reference. AO generally plays & looks like it could've been an AI-generated game.

@puknguy2 And AK is the direct sequel to a game that should be the studied blueprint for how *not* to do a Batman story, video game narrative, general CB adaptation, etc. x.com/MusingBob/stat…

@MichSciFiYT In practice/execution, City is blissfully unconcerned with basic storytelling & I think crosses the line into an outright deceitful piece of media. That wasn't Rocksteady's intent, but holy fuck, did the story team of Paul Dini, Paul Crocker, & Sefton Hill not bring this together

@puknguy2 Well... yeah. It's the only genuinely good, competent, deliberately crafted story of the franchise (mainline games). x.com/MusingBob/stat…

@squarednation_ @AlCJ200228 Oh yeah. Actual thematic depth with deliberately crafted narrative design to fit a true open-world game (the only one of the series as well). It had the largest and most unwieldy traits yet coheres indescribably better than the hodge-podge of City and Origins.

@ParkerMan1962 @Gokubla32516294 @Batmanggx Tries to combine too many stories and forgets basically plot threads from what I remember. Its not terrible but its just a lesser version of other Batman stories. For me its Arkham Knight humself. Could've been an entirely new character instead of watered down Red Hood

@Batmanggx @Kadenisagoober @ParkerMan1962 @Gokubla32516294 RS went out of their way for Jason's core motivation to be different. I thought maybe they could've at least put in a random dialogue line in the stealth encounter of Jason saying, "I know you didn't kill him. You would never have it in you, even after he brutalizes one of us."

@Kadenisagoober @ParkerMan1962 @Gokubla32516294 Jason's issue with Batman isnt as simple as him failing to save him. Its that from his perspective Batman cared more about his mission than him which is why he quickly replaced him and left him to die rather than abandoning the mission to save him.

@ReclaimJoey @Batmanggx It can't be adequately conveyed in a single reply just how much of an inadvertent insult of Dini and his career that is. x.com/MusingBob/stat…
Musing Bob@MusingBob

@squared_nation @Ma673 @nothingbruv_ I just watched this earlier tonight. Paul summarizes the experience being commissioned by RS to write Asylum and City (should start at the 17:37 timestamp). I think it's kind of telling and supports my idea that he & RS kinda knew City was... quite flawed youtube.com/watch?v=RIjxCU…

@Batmanggx How is that misinformation? It's his opinion. They chose not to have Paul Dini write it like the first two games, so it's significantly worse

@MichSciFiYT The last I'll bombard you with. Arkham Knight is the most definitive proof that Rocksteady was cognizant of a lot of City's innumerable narrative issues, even if general audiences and the hardcore fanbase to this day remain bizarrely oblvious. x.com/MusingBob/stat…

@MichSciFiYT "Arkham City is a campy, bullshit, absurd piece of nonsense that stands up to no kind of scrutiny, and the idea that it has anything remotely interesting to say or interrogate is such a misrepresentation of it that it becomes unkind." youtube.com/watch?v=B8SBwk…
