Batman: The Telltale Series

It's weird seeing Harley as the aggressive one while the Joker's the one trying to impress Harley.

Role reversals will do that to ya.

Kinda figured they'd go for that given how John acted in Episode 1.

The fact that he remembers you asking if you're in love with Bruce has me curious. Is he really going to have a thing for him by the end? That should prove interesting when Selina returns.

Going into Fan Fic territory.

Every Batman story is essentially a fanfic these days. Some of them just happen to be commissioned and published by DC.

Most of the "___ will remember that" moment don't really amount to anything anyways.

Though I definitely predict a conflict with John when Catwoman enters the picture.

Looks like we're rapidly careening towards "Bruce Wayne's Criminal Harem: The Game". Not that I'm complaining, of course.

That dude at the end seems like Ra's Al Ghul to me.

The guy strolling in on Bats after he threw a man from afar? That's definitely Bane; you can see the capsules/tubes of Venom attached to his thighs.

I wonder if Bruce will be using Matches Malone in this one.

Bats and the Joker are fighting on a rooftop in Episode 5, so it's probable Joker is the Big Bad after all. Maybe.

Please don't put spoilers in your video thumbnail. I wanted to be surprised that ___Mr. Freeze___ was in this.

Not a lot of Batman in this Batman episode, but I still enjoyed it:

• Bane's character design looks pretty silly, but his fight was good and I like him as a character overall.
• I called Waller for help, since I figured that she was better equipped than the GCPD.
• Made a pinky swear with my best friend John and bought the guy who wanted to knife him a beer to get him to calm down.
• So Telltaleverse Harley is genderswapped Joker? She's scary, but fun. I had Bruce refuse her advances because I didn't want to upset my best friend John.
• The encounter with Tiffany went... badly. I told her that her dad made the Battech and now she thinks that I'm some sort of supervillain. Suffice it to say, she didn't give the Phalanx Key willingly and narrowly avoided getting walloped by Harley.
• Freeze wasn't impressed with me. Bane wasn't either after I refused to kill one of his lackeys. I decided not to take the risk of sabotaging his Venom, which is probably going to bite me in the ass.
• I choose to head off Harley because I didn't want to risk further upsetting Bane. This resulted in Bane being left behind.
• So I couldn't help but notice that recovering Riddler's body to complete the Pact's plans would have been easier if the Riddler were still alive. Which means that the Pact probably didn't have him killed. I'm guessing that it was John trying to impress Bruce by avenging Lucius, but from what I understand the Joker usually isn't portrayed as an expert sniper.

Well, John said he didn't do it when I asked him, but I suppose he could have been lying - he did hate Riddler.

Wonder what they're going to do with the body. You don't think they have a Lazarus Pit, do you?

Also, if anyone here called Gordon for the rescue - does the mechanic guy still not make it? I'm suspicious that Waller might have had him offed because he saw something he wasn't supposed to.

He still dies even if Gordon shows up, yes.

In regards to Freeze, all you have to do is appeal to providing him with the means to care for his wife to get on his good side. You also don't kill Bane's henchman; you just give him a savage beating.

Wait, how do you sabotage Bane's Venom? The opportunity didn't show up in my playthrough.

For fuck's sake Telltale, I shouldn't have to wait for you to fix the page for the patch to fix your game. This is bullshit, especially after you pushed back the release date.

I played very nice with Waller, and just told Gordon she knew my secret identity.

So...someone at Telltale done goofed:

I wonder if that's what's holding up the patch.

RPS article if you dislike kotaku or just don't want to see the original photo

Anyway, like, this is in two ways awful thing to do: 1) everybody who plays the game before patch sees an actual real body 2) whoever did it apparently just googled pic of "dead guy in suit" found the pic, didn't realize its real picture(because of how surreal it looks and not bothering to do research) and then instead of using it as reference just copy pasted dude out of the pic with photoshop into the game which is just illegal plagiarism. Only good thing about it is that it probably was accidentally because it would be awfully disrespectful to on purpose steal image of real murder victim on game

I don't understand why. The JFK assassination is used all. the. time.

I can't think of a time when that wasn't used in the context of the actual event though. If nothing else, this is disrespectful because it's displaying a picture of a real person's body as just a random, photoshopped image

Just finished the second episode. I feel pretty good about how I'm handling things.

Waller can kiss my ass. I mean, she has the leverage that Bruce is Batman but f*ck it. I've never cared enough about secret identities to even be mildly intimidated by that. The Gotham PD think I'm the best thing since sliced bread. Oh no, please, Waller, don't make me trend on Twitter!

I've stood with Gordon and confided everything in him at every opportunity. Frankly, I've always found it silly that Gordon doesn't know Batman's secret identity. If letting him in the loop becomes an option, I'm taking it immediately. Justice bros for life.

Bane hates me but f*ck him too. Harley, John, and Victor all think I'm the best thing since sliced bread. I want to save all three of them. I've already offered Victor an out through helping him with Wayne tech. I rejected Harley's advances and have been nothing but a bro to John, so I'm hoping to try and influence him away. And I'm palling up to Harley as much as I can too.

I know it's probably naive of me to even try, but my Batman is about saving people first, beating them down as a last resort. I stuck with Harley when the chaos struck because I'm trying to keep her from going overboard; Bane can't be saved, so there was no point following him. If I can convince Harley to walk away, John will go with her.

I'm already trying to bring Tiffany into the loop. I've been completely honest with her. I told her the truth about her father's death, I told her that Lucius worked with Batman, and I convinced her to trust me and hand over the device. Alfred and I agree that getting her onboard as soon as possible would be best. Also, John agreed not to spill to Harley about Tiffany because he and I are bros. He got to hand her the device, so he's happy.

I'm going to save these people if I can. I probably can't. But I'm going to try. Except Bane. F*ck Bane.

Also, nice to see Selena show up at the end. She's a ball that's already in my court, so advantage: Wayne.
