Rocksteady has really outdone themselves based on these videos, can't wait to get my hands on this.

Dual play looks cool, but I'm not sold on the Nightwing gameplay. It doesn't look very smooth and looks a little incomplete. His fighting style was great in AC so I hope it still holds up.

  I don't see how it is any different from AC.

    The arm bars really don't flow well and look at 3:15... wth just happened? It didn't look like Dick struck him with an escrima stick and he just went down. I'm not expecting the fighting to be perfect. If you're going through multiple combos, the fighting inevitably looks really jumpy in the Arkham games, but this looks a little off.
    1. Spurple
      May 18, 2015
      Yeeaah, I really don't see it.
      1. OGDickGrayson
        May 18, 2015
        You don't see how weird the arm bars look in between combos and the non contact takedown?
      2. Spurple
        May 18, 2015
        Guess I'll have to watch it again real closely.

    Yet he died I didn't and he only came back because my Grandfather was feeling sad for my Father!!!

      I think that Dick was the best Robin but i wanna see him as Nightwing.
      1. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        Same I would love him as Nightwing but tbh I think I'm probably the best Robin!!!!!!!
      2. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        You're probably the deadliest Robin ever.
      3. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        So you have a problem with that!!!!
      4. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        Of course not but it's past time we get you in the video games or live-action movies or shows
      5. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        Yep!!!!!!

      Didn't you die in New 52 continuity?
      1. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        At least Carrie Kelley who's my favourite Robin was very much alive in New 52.
      2. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        Yep.

      I'm pretty sure ur talking about Jason Todd not Tim Drake
      1. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        Knowing Damian's relationship with Tim, he'd have a fantasy about him being the superior Robin and Tim being dead
    4. Clown Two-Face
      May 17, 2015
      Whoops I get all the infer Robins confused all the time!!!
    5. Charles Tosti
      May 17, 2015
      Tim Drake is the 2nd best Detective in the DCU and if it wasn't for New 52, he could have surpassed Bruce and become the World's Greatest Detective. I also love the fact that Drake saved Batman's life and he's the only one who wanted the mantle of Robin. He may not be the most skilled in H2H but he makes up for it with Detective skills and prep
    6. Spurple
      May 18, 2015
      Uh, "you" died too.
      1. ernest schoenmakers
        May 18, 2015
        Like Jason Todd who was killed by the Joker, maybe the Joker makes a cameo for this scene in BvS and after Jason's death Bats retired for 10 years, this could be a beginning of the movie. Carrie Kelley could be the successor of Jason Todd after those 10 years.

Completely off topic (sorry!) but back in the late 90s, Lorenzo Di Bonaventura apparently offered Kevin Smith to be the head of a division of WB that solely made DC movies and Kevin said no! I wonder what those movies would've been like had he accepted the offer (and Batman & Robin hadn't killed DC on film for a while) lol. (vid)

If they keep releasing these behind-the-scenes videos before they actually release the game, I predict a massive grand mal seizure brought on by extreme anticipation in my near future.

  May 17, 2015
  I wanna see this too:
  1. Toucan
    May 17, 2015
    I feel like this Batman would have either no robin or Tim Drake at the time.
    1. ernest schoenmakers
      May 17, 2015
      It looks like it but why don't we hear anything anymore from her role, maybe they wanna surprise us or her role is too unimportant, idk. I cannot imagine that Zack gives her a role as an extra. They're good friends and she played brilliantly in Sucker Punch.
      1. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        Or she has no role at all???
      2. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        Maybe she isn't in BvS at all who knows but i guess she will be in one of Zack's movies for sure in the future.
      3. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        Maybe??? Will see!!
      4. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        I heard from someone that she could be Carrie Kelley Robin but she appears in the end credit scene so if that's the case then she will have a sequel in other movies.
      5. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        Well I heard from someone that Batman and Robins a good movie soooo.....(pic)
        https://s-media-cache-ak0.p...
      6. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        I heard people saying Jonah Hex was the best cowboy movie
      7. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        I did like it though!!!
      8. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        I respect that but wait I hear somebody saying Batman and Superman suck?
    2. Clown Two-Face
      May 17, 2015
      Or me!!!
  2. Red Queen
    May 17, 2015
    I have the feeling she's going to Oracle. But who knows? Anything is possible...
    1. ernest schoenmakers
      May 17, 2015
      If that's the case i would love that but why does WB keep her role so secret, the same goes for Scoot McNairy and Callan Mulvey.
      1. Red Queen
        May 17, 2015
        They'll keep her role secret no matter who she's playing. That's how it works. They want to keep is guessing...
      2. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        Maybe but it's so long now we are in he dark while other roles are revealed all the time.
      3. Red Queen
        May 17, 2015
        Snyder wants to surprise us...
      4. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        I hope you're right cause Jena Malone is my favourite actress and she played an amazing Rocket in Sucker Punch where she showed she can kick ass as a sidekick.
      5. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        We know Callan Mulvey is playing a villain
      6. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        It isn't confirmed yet just like Scoot's role so he could be Jimmy Olsen or a villain named Metallo.
      7. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        I read an article here saying Callan Mulvey got the role of a villain. My guess is KGBeast
      8. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        Articles spread rumours about an actor's role so it can be true or false. There's a set photo from Scoot where he was wearing green socks so he might have lost his lower legs.
      9. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        I wasn't even talking about Scoot McNariy but ok. And sorry I read that article here and here only 2 things Chris wrote were wrong
      10. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        These articles remain rumours until it's officially confirmed, there were also a dozen articles on Carrie Kelley, it's the same.
      11. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        There wasn't a dozen articles on Carrie Kelley on his site which is creditable. THR reported Jena Malone would be in the movie and their track record speaks for itself and when Chris said "Jena Malone's Red Hair looks like Carrie Kelley" and reported "Jena Malone on BVS set" everybody said "JENA MALONE IS PLAYING ROBIN" and "CONFIRMED JENA MALONE IS PLAYING ROBIN!". There wasn't really a rumor. Just wishful thinking similar to Dan Amboyer playing Hal Jordan. Not even a rumor but one website speculates and everybody believed it to be true.
      12. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        That's not true, that everybody ''confirmed'' she played the Robin, it's all speculation like all articles are. There's one thing you can say about the reliability of a source like THR who's in general a reliable source. So if they say she's in the movie i would believe that but for what role is only speculation.
      13. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        Exactly. When a reliable site (Batman-News or THR) say Jena Malone is in BVS or she has red hair like Carrie Kelley everybody wrote those articles and said "Confirmed" for a couple of weeks before realizing they jumped the gun
      14. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        No, that's not true no one ever used the word ''confirmed'' it's all speculation but one can reason whether or not it can be true. In any case the fact she dyed her hair cartoon-esque red is no coincidence.
      15. Felicia
        May 17, 2015
        And even Dan Amboyer
  3. Rob_wesb
    May 17, 2015
    I like how she's been on the BvS set once and everyone still thinks she's either Robin or Barbara Gordon
    1. Clown Two-Face
      May 17, 2015
      Same!!! It's stupid!!!
    2. GaboPSN
      May 17, 2015
      Barbara Gordon would be nice!
    3. ernest schoenmakers
      May 17, 2015
      I hope so cause Jena Malone is my all time favourite actress and she can kick ass as hell which she proved in Sucker Punch.
      1. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        But Sucker Punch (no pun intended) Sucks!!!!! It's really the only bad movie from Snyder to date!!!! (Wait it's also the only non-comic book movie he's made!!!!!) (pic)
        http://i.lvme.me/fedi729.jpg
      2. ernest schoenmakers
        May 17, 2015
        No it's not it's just you didn't understand the plot like so many people but it was well made by Snyder. I understood it cause it's a bit of a jigsaw made of clues and metaphors. Good special effects and cinematography.
    4. Chris Terrio
      May 17, 2015
      I haven't seen Callan Mulvey on set and he's in the movie
    5. SBHM
      May 17, 2015
      Even if she is Robin, there's no way they dedicate more than 2-5 minutes of screen time to her. Between bats and supes, lex, WW, and doomsday being all but confirmed at this point, there just isn't much room for her outside of a cameo.
  4. ernest schoenmakers
    May 17, 2015
    That would be okay with me too but there was maybe 1 article on Babs and a dozen on Carrie Kelley (You Tube) so i don't know.
    1. ernest schoenmakers
      May 17, 2015
      That's how it works, articles speculate until it's officially confirmed.

  I just hope there are enough characters we haven't seen to keep it interesting. It shouldn't feel like just another Avengers movie.
  1. ernest schoenmakers

    I hope not, DCCU should be completely different from Marvel the way they make a comic movie.
    1. Chris Terrio
      May 17, 2015
      They were talking about Infinity War
  2. Chris Terrio

    I hope it's the best Avenger movie yet. Not saying much but whatever
    1. SBHM

      I'm sure it will be. Cap 2 has been my favorite marvel movie yet. So I've got higher hopes for Civil War than I probably should haha

Why do so many people seem to hate Robin's look? I think it's a really nice, awesome, modern take which defies all of the "boy wonder" stereotypes.
1. GaboPSN
  May 17, 2015
  I like his look, but maybe it's because it reminds people of Chris O'Donnell's Robin (I don't know, but I read comments stating it)
  1. Chris Terrio
    May 17, 2015
    People also say The Dark Knight sucked. Funny world we live in
    1. GaboPSN
      May 17, 2015
      At first they loved The Dark Knight, they praised that movie and Nolan. Now they say TDK sucks and Nolan sucks. The same thing happened with MoS, and a lot of other movies. I don't know what makes people change their mind so fast :/
      1. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        Pretty much.

    ...
    1. Eobard Thawne
      May 17, 2015
      His version sucked but (aside from the nipples) I thought his costume/look was decent.
      1. Chris Terrio
        May 17, 2015
        The costume looked ludicrous and it didn't help that Batman was miscast twice
      2. Eobard Thawne
        May 18, 2015
        I didn't hate the costume in Forever, way too armoured was it, but I mean mainly in terms of the short hair that wasn't a problem.
      3. Clown Two-Face
        May 17, 2015
        Looks vary like Nightwing!!!
  3. Eobard Thawne
    May 17, 2015
    Yeah, that seems to be the most common complaint, but as I've said to several people who made such comments, does everyone with a buzz cut remind you of Chris O'Donnel? The main complaint seems to be about him being 'bald' - wrong anyway, it's just shaved- as if a teenager has never shaved their head before. It makes sense for a crime fighter, I'm pretty sure the devs said at the time of City it was to call back to cage fighting.
    I have a feeling he actually had longer hair and then in the City comics got rid of it to disguise himself as a thug, but I could be wrong. Can anyone verify?
    1. GaboPSN
      May 18, 2015
      I don't know why people are complaining at this point, since he looks like that in Arkham City http://obsoletegamer.com/wp...
      1. Eobard Thawne
        May 18, 2015
        Exactly, and he looks cool that way.
      2. Spurple
        May 18, 2015
        He wore the hood throughout the game. Only in these random promotional arts was his head seen.
2. Spurple
  May 18, 2015
  He looked better in AC.
  1. Eobard Thawne
    May 18, 2015
    I think the longer sleeves are better, he made me feel cold just looking at him in AC. It is October after all in Knight.
    1. Spurple
      May 18, 2015
      Yeah, but I preferred him with the hood on, and I think a lot of people did.
