That and Troy Baker continuing his crusade to be the protagonist of every franchise murdered my interest in this with extreme prejudice. What's wrong with Bailey and Baker? Wasn't shitting on Bailey myself, just observing that more & more often the "objectively the best girl" in every franchise is getting voiced by her: Rise (inferior to Chie of course, but still in the ball park) Lucina Chun-Li Blaze the Cat (if we're only counting the games) Lego Wonder Woman (well it's still WW...) Jaina Proudmoore Fetch & now the clear superior Batman love interest, Catwoman She'll probably be an asari in ME Andromeda at this rate.

She was already in Mass Effect a few times actually... She was Miranda's Sister and someone in Paragon Lost. but I believe Hokago was talking to the Tank.

Wonder if I should take a gamble on this or not. Doesn't really seem like my thing so much, but I'll have the money to spare for it and coming free with Wolf Among Us (which I don't think really looks very good from what I've seen of it, but still) if preordered isn't a bad deal at all.
Though either way MAN do I hope this avoids the obvious direction of having the villain be Joker. Really tired of Batman games where Joker takes over the plot.

Playing around on this right now. Thus far... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}There are elements I like about it a good bit, like having a game where a decent bit of it thus far is focused on playing as Bruce and dealing with that side of his life, and the fight scenes thus far are probably the most Batman-feeling thing you could really do in a game.
Buuuut the big failing of it so far for me is this feels like every Batman story you've ever seen. Villain who keeps pushing on why he does this and convinced it's for the thrill, Alfred urging him to stop, the mob being played as a big threat to be fed to someone later, obvious impending Two-Face, it just feels so very played out and imagine that's going to get worse when Joker inevitably hijacks the plot.
Also, if we're not going to get the Creeper can we stop having random Jack Ryder cameos in Batman games? Edit: {Spoiler}And then I get to this game's Penguin. Did they get confused and think he was Manchester Black? What the hell is this?

they could actually do a lot with Batman the world's greatest detective with their usual adventure game style. That has always been an aspect of Batman that hasn't really been seen outside of comics. Movies and games only have a finite time, and it's usually spent on more exciting endeavors, understandably so. That's actually one of the only things BvS did correctly, was show the more detective side of Batman. You mean the side of Batman that saw him get tailed by no less than 3 people at the same party?

I the only one who finds it distracting in this how Batman sounds like Shao Kahn?

Tried playing this... and it won't start on my PC. I've never had a problem with any TellTale game before... and looking it up apparently the PC version is littered with bugs according to reviews. The hell is it with Batman games on the PC? Did a PC kill his parents?

I haven't paid attention to any of the anything surrounding this game.
I picked it up yesterday, Almost done with episode one (on Xbone) and enjoying it so far. I personally have no problems with it.

Anything that gets Animated Series originals into other media is OK by me

Solid game. Not Telltale's best, in my opninion(still the criminally underrated Wolf Among Us or Tales From the Borderlands), but pretty great.

Speaking of Telltale, I've just realised they've done a lot of games lately, including a new Kings Quest game?? Anyone played that?

Well, its not done yet so its a bit soon to say whether its one of their best or not. Also Wolf Among Us and Tales From the Borderlands were both critical successes and both have tons of fans so I don't think they can be classified as underrated.

I played the first episode of King's Quest it was a lot of fun. It's King Graham telling his granddaughter a story of his adventures! Christopher Lloyd plays Old Graham

Oh sure, but I just never ever see anyone talking about Wolf Among Us. Seems like it's the Telltale equivalent of Bioware's Jade Empire. Great game that doesn't see the sun enough.

I think they are released monthly. I will just do what I do with other Telltale Games.. Wait until all episodes are out, and buy it at a heavy discount at Gog.com
