Based on the title card, it looks like we're getting Bane, either Mr. Freeze or Professor Strange(my money is on Strange), and someone else.
Strange is always a fairly interesting mid-tier villain, but I'm worried about the inclusion of Bane. Just my opinion, but Bane is a fairly boring villain. Still, maybe that's a good thing, he can be like a blank slate for Telltale to create a more interesting villain on top of.

 Looks like Bane, Hugo Strange, and Harley Quinn (since she was mentioned at the end of this episode) |

Yeah, H in the email to Riddler could've either been Hugo or Harleen(I wonder if she's Harley Quinn yet, or still Harleen Quinzel).
I'm actually really looking forward to a new take on Harley and Joker's relationship here.
Also, if Harley is introduced in this season, what're the odds we might get Poison Ivy as well? Personally, I hope that when/if they introduce Poison Ivy, she'll be an ally instead of an enemy. Poison Ivy has always been more interesting as an anti-hero than a villain.

So I put a poll up for predictions for Episode Two, who do you think killed Riddler based on the villains we know are in this season or probably going to be in this season?

So I put a poll up for predictions for Episode Two, who do you think killed Riddler based on the villains we know are in this season or probably going to be in this season? I'm not really eagle-eyed, but I think the model of the person on the bridge resembled John Doe. Also, we can be almost 100% sure that Harely, Bane and Freeze make an appearance. With Riddler already past us and John Doe/Waller threat and possible appearances from Harvey & Oz (at least that's the impression I got from reading Gotham Feed), I think that's enough. Stories suffer from too many villains. Besides, I think Deadshot won't fit in a Telltale world for technical reasons and/or choreography. It seems like they prefer villains who are more hand-to-hand combat-oriented (in all of their games, I think). Sounds stupid, I know, but that's how I think they think (after the recent TFTBL fiasco coming to light, I'm actually worried most people at TT have trouble thinking clearly). |

What TFTB fiasco?
Also, yeah I forgot Freeze. I still think it's more likely that the person in the episode 2 slide is Professor Strange. Either way, it's very unlikely either of them killed Riddler.
I do think too many villains might be a concern. I mean, Season One already felt kind of bloated with not enough time for Penguin, and Lady Arkham coming in very late(and the whole problem with Harvey). I think the way it'll break down though is that Waller will be antagonistic, but not a full on villain. Episodes 2 and 3 will deal with Harley, Bane, and Strange/Freeze(one of them's probably going to get the short stick and my guess is on Bane since they can easily make him a thug type character without much depth). They'll probably be mostly dealt with by 4, which is when John Doe becomes Joker, and we deal with Joker in the finale.
Broken down that way, yeah, there isn't much room for Deadshot... Still, it's unlikely that it would've been John Doe. Nothing up to this point has shown he has skill with poison or marksmanship. So... my second guess outside of Deadshot would be Harley, since I get the feeling this will be a very different version of her than usual, and she kind of comes across as the leader of the group.

I've made a thread for it today. Some of the past Telltale employes (not anonymous, high-caliber ones - Nick Herman, Anthony Burch, Martin Montgomery etc.) recently participated in an interview about the development of TFTBL. It details the first version of the script (e.g. the original story, which wasn't 100% comedy), the Stranger (can you believe that in the initial pitch, Zer0 was the Stranger?) but, most of all, it discusses in great detail the mismanagement of the project and why it's unlikely any sort of sequel will ever happen.

My first thought was also Strange instead of Freeze, but I think it's established in the comic canon that Strange knows Batman's identity - and, with Waller already aware of that, it would be reduntant. (Then again, Telltale can surprise, as they did in the past) I think the story is that the Agency is behind the group of villains - the original 'Pact'. I don't know why, but - as it was pointed out earlier - they might be behind its creation. (Suicide Squad style, who knows) Riddler left Gotham on his own, so that's why they tried to track him down (the Agency already said they tried to track him down for a long time), maybe he tried to escape them, I don't know. Now Riddler returned to Gotham to eradicate the Agency (and that's why he hoped his 'colleagues' would appear on the ship) so that the villains from the Pact would be free to do whatever they want. Maybe he struck the deal with John Doe to make sure they'll come (hence the comment, 'the white-faced bastard betrayed me') because John decided to cut Riddler from the group and decide to become its leader. Who knows, maybe the other villains promised him the position if he convinces Bruce to meet with them. (or maybe John offered them to introduce someone with money and power to the group). |

Who knows, maybe the other villains promised him the position if he convinces Bruce to meet with them. (or maybe John offered them to introduce someone with money and power to the group). I definitely think The Agency is behind "The Pact", but that during the Riddler's escape(from Santa Prisca, no less, Bane's home), he freed the other villains and now they've gone rogue. Maybe Waller was trying to create the Suicide Squad, and that's when Riddler escaped. Harley I don't think would've been part of that proto-suicide squad, but I do think she's the leader of "The Pact". The Agency is probably there to hunt down the villains that they let escape in the first place. They're probably trying to capture them to try and create the squad again. So, Harley and the other villains will probably be the main threat(at least until John Doe becomes the Joker), but The Agency will have been responsible for these villains escaping to Gotham and becoming a group. If that makes sense. I don't know, there's definitely a lot more mystery here than in last season, and it's a lot more intriuging. |

Probably a bit early to put out screenshots if it's over a month away. Bravo, TTG.

What the hell does the sign behind Joker say? HA HA CENDA? CIENDA? Neither makes sense.
I really wish they'd given Bats a bit more color in his design. I'm not a fan of the classic blue, gray, and yellow, so my preference would go to his current comic color scheme(black, purple, and yellow).
Really interested to see what they do with Harley, especially Harley and Joker's relationship. I'm not a huge fan of her design but it's okay I guess. Glad they went with the classic black and red color scheme. (I still don't understand the pink and blue color scheme tbh but I don't hate it or anything)
