Couple hours from now, I'll post it here and edit the OP.
Extremely impressed with Gotham Knights too.

Sefton Hill just said it's set in the same universe as the Arkham games (and the animated Assault on Arkham movie). But why? :o

Won't that just limit them in what they can do?

Release 2022 so we might not even get gameplay next year.....
Didn't even know Superman and the Justice league existed in the Arkham games, I thought that universe games was only about Batman.
Being able to play King shark is cool but the others meh.

I'm amazed comic books still actually exist.

There's plenty of good comics if you actually look, they're just like anything else in that 98% of them are garbage made for mass consumption. Personally I feel there's something to be said for comics in that they can allow for the creative vision of a few individuals to shine through, rather than being focus group/lawyered into the generic, homogenous rehash of pop culture memes emblematic of more expensive forms of media such as movies, TV, AAA videogames.

Prophet (2012) comes to mind. Wouldn't have the same impact if it were a book, would have lost nearly everything that makes it unique were it to be made as a movie or something, but I quite enjoyed it.

Just read books. Comics are a worse medium in every way.

I'd concede they're a more versatile and useful medium, sure, but "better"... I can't agree.

That's kind of like saying a knife is better than a saw 'cause you can use it for more shit. I mean, in a sense I guess you're right but imo a good comic can do things a book can't. A picture, to me, can do a better job of conveying the alien (for example) in a shorter span.

I just can't imagine shit like this:

Books can also do things that comics can't, like tell a good story in less than a decade of work. I wouldn't mind books having some illustrations more often though.

Loved the Arkham games a ton! Hope this thing turns out OK, but the trailer definitely looks quite a bit fruity. The characters all seem like a bunch of fruits, and that song! Christ. When did goofy rap songs replace generic metal songs as 'music to look bad-ass to?'

To be clear I was talking about superhero comics, and superhero cartoons. I read Sandman and Preacher in college, and would probably read stuff like that today if I had the time.

Harley is not dubbed in the BR voice I'm used to hear and it bothers me because it's still decent but feels like someone cosplaying as her.

Apparently not since they changed Deadshot's costume. And something else, but you need a sharp eye to notice.
