these games had gameplay once... it was a different time. a better time Batman would've been a great game for telltale to incorporate more gameplay elements into, tbh. The detective stuff felt nice, but it was once per episode. More of that would've been cool. |

Yeah the awkward moment when you see WASD in the upper corner and you're like... oh.. these games had gameplay once... it was a different time. I'm fine with no gameplay from now on. Hell if these were just TV episodes I'd have to pay for and make an occasional choice I'd still buy it. |

Batman was a very uneven game in my opinion though. |

So, yeah, the fuck even was Blockbuster? Episode 2: Fights Batman for like two seconds. Gets sent to Arkham. Episode 4: Stares at a wall for ten thousand centuries. Episode 5: .....  |

Done with the episode: This fucking episode. This FUCKING EPISODE WAS AMAZING! Honestly, if I was to review this season as a whole, I'd say this was TWAU done RIGHT. Yes I agree with Zyphon that the whole Harvey/Two-Face thing could've been handled SLIGHTLY better, but I think it works pretty well! For instance back in episode 4 if you go to visit Harvey as Batman, he'll actually be more "Two-Facey" and act more aggressive and cold if you saved Selina over him. Honestly though I think Season Two (If it does happen) will fix that up.
Now let's get into the actual episode. The final confrontation with Oswald was SO good, definitely made it worth it to go after Harvey back in Ep. 4. Jason Spisak does an AWESOME Penguin, and I bet his legs aren't gonna be the same ever again after getting crushed by that bust. The goodbye with Selina was handled pretty well, since I wasn't even expecting her to show up in this episode. I was alright with making Belina happen, even if it's just gonna be us as rivals who fuck every now and then, but whatever.
The detective parts though I must say were kinda disappointing towards the end. When you're looking through Vicki's rape/torture chamber to find the chalk I mean HOW DO YOU NOT FIGURE THAT OUT IN LESS THAN TEN SECONDS?! That's kinda my only real complaint with this episode.
And that fight with Vicki at the end...My GOD was that fight awesome! It's up there with the Rhys VS Accountants, Jesse VS Aiden, and Lee VS Walkers as one of my favorite Telltale fights of all time! The whole buildup to it was great too, felt alot like the end of Arkham Knight IMO.
The ending felt like TWAU's Ep. 5 ending but done right; a nice resolution that seems to wrap up nicely at first, but then just teases you enough to possibly bring up a second season. Looking forward to fighting Joker 3 or 4 years from now! (Or Whenever Telltale's done with New Frontier, GOTG, and Thrones 2)
So, in conclusion (and this is coming from a guy who's never read a Batman comic in his LIFE apart from The Killing Joke and Court of Owls, only watching the last two Dark Knight movies, and watching several episodes of Batman TAS and TBaTB), Batman The Telltale Series was a GREAT game, blew TWAU out of the water in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, and it actually got me hoping to see more of the DC universe in Telltale's future. Here's to Season Two! Mah Choices:Forgave Alfred: He's like an old man Clem now, and he's really grown on me this season. I didn't really care for him in Ep. 1, but God did this series do him good.
Said Selina was more than just a theif: Cut the bullshit, she's just afraid of getting close to people and losing them.
Kissed Selina goodbye: Since I failed with Bicki might as well try to get Belina together again right? I mean it looks like it might work eventually...
Told Vicki I'm Bruce: I had this sinking feeling that Vicki would've killed Alfred if I didn't, so it came out pretty well. When I first saw it happen I thought she would've been too crazy to actually think I'm Bruce and that I was just wearing another mask, but she's dead now so it doesn't matter. Also Bruce should get like a cool new ear plug or something for that huge hole now, maybe a Bat shaped one?
Attended as Batman and told Gordon to say that I'll help the GCPD: Honestly this was the hardest decision for me. I sat for a good minute or so debating this, and I was thinking f how almost EVERY single Batman story sees Bruce as the dominant side more than not, so I decided to see what it'd be like to have Batman be the dominant one for once. ........... How is it TWAU "done right"? What.... what do you even mean by that?? How is it even like TWAU?  ?? Well let's see...both are about murder mysteries with a heavy emphasis on detective work, both involve a secret organization terrorizing the environment of the characters, the main character constantly gets shit on by the other characters until the finale, and both games end with an over the top final fight and a mellow conclusion before throwing a shocking revelation that leaves it open for a sequel. However, Batman's story was just executed so much better than TWAU, Bruce was such a more likable and realistic character than Bigby, who had zero personality aside from aggressive and snarky, with the occasional kindness, and like literally the only people to get major screentime were Bigby, Crane, Snow, and Nerissa, while Batman gave alot more time to characters such as Oz, Harvey, Selina, Joker, Vicki, Gordon, etc. |

Just, that's the first thing. The aesthetic and overall style is entirely different. Comparing the Children of Arkham to the Crooked Man's organization is.... that doesn't make sense. The CoA are revolutionary, they're basically terrorists with a noble cause. Also, Vicki's cause is tied to Bruce. It's more personal. The Crooked Man's organization is part of Wolf's subtext of corruption, disparity between rich and poor, etc. I mean, there are all sorts of difference, but... I mean... there really aren't even many similarities aside from they're both villainous organizations. And the whole "fight, mellow, hook" thing is like... the basic structure of a lot of stories. A climax, falling action, resolution. So... no... it's not like TWAU much at all. Also, having a smaller cast/focus is not a flaw... And honestly, there weren't any interesting character interactions in Batman either. Both series' have kind of a flat cast of characters. Batman gets a bit of a boost in that they can just use the basic template from the comics for Gordon and Alfred, but that's kind of it... In my opinion anyway. I mean, sure, I can't argue with you if you just thought Batman was better, I kind of get your points. But... I mean, really, you're just flat-out wrong in a lot of ways to say that Batman is The Wolf Among Us "done right". |
