Arkham Asylum. |
![]() Hi, and welcome to the home of superheroes. Not only do we have Batman and Spider-Man lurking every now and then... We also have Korra, Pokemon, Naruto running amidst, and of course, members of Young Justice. And more. |
A wild (and when I say “wild,” I mean WILD!) ギャラドス appeared.

Arkham Origins will feature the Remote Claw, a new gadget that allows Batman to target two objects&pull them together, allowing him to knock enemies together or hit them with objects; tethering two walled-points together creates a tightrope that he can traverse. The game introduces a fast travel system, allowing Batman to remotely summon his BATWING to transport him to other areas of the quicker than gliding or grappling can allow. Enemy tower installations prevent Batman summoning the craft in some areas&must be first disabled (the jet is not player-controlled). The game also has an emphasis on Batman’s detective skills; he can scan a crime scene using detective vision to highlight points of interest&holograms act out theoretical scenarios of the crime that occurred. The crimes can be reviewed on the Batcomputer in the Batcave at will, allowing the player to view the scene from different angles, in slow motion or pause it while looking for clues. GotY, here we go.

Out of all the characters in this game, which one is your favorite/mostly-used?
Following the destruction of Metropolis&the deaths of his wife Lois Lane, their unborn son, and his best friend Jimmy Olsen (all at the hands of Joker), Superman established a new world order, causing heroes to stand in opposition to each other. A battle ensued between the forces of the Man of Steel’s regime&those allied with Batman’s rebellion in an alternate universe.
Diana Prince has many tools at her disposal. The most common one she exploits is strength to match that of even the mightiest characters. She has special bracelets capable of deflecting incoming attacks&a rope that forces those bound by it to speak the truth. One characteristic that sets her apart from others is that she is willing to kill for the greater good.
Hal Jordan was another founding member of the Justice League and the first human to be inducted to the Green Lantern Corps after being given a power ring by dying alien Abin Sur. He became the galactic officer to serve&protect all life in Sector 2814 (Earth). The power ring he uses is fueled by his own will&can create anything with it using his imagination. By tapping into the willpower of the universe, collected by the central battery which then disperses the power to the individual lanterns&onto rings themselves, Jordan can accomplish anything as long as he believes. Beware his power, Green Lantern’s light!
A man is only as good as his word. But in the underground world of mercenaries, words mean little. What matters is completing the mission. That’s what makes you good. Never failing — even when it comes to taking down some of the most powerful beings in the world — that is what makes you the best. That is what makes you Deathstroke. A military man, Slade Wilson was recruited into the special ops unit Team 7. Willing to do whatever he could to better himself, Wilson underwent an experimental procedure that granted him enhanced speed, strength, and intelligence, effectively making him the world’s greatest soldier. Following the disbandment of his squad, a jaded Wilson used his powers as a guns-for-hire&quickly gained a name for himself in the criminal world as the man to call when you want to make sure the job will get done. Beyond his heightened senses, Deathstroke has high intelligence, which makes him a master tactician. He is capable of standing toe-to-toe against some of the most gifted fighters like Batman. Never content with an easy assignment, Deathstroke continuously takes on tougher tasks, constantly pushing himself further with an unwavering focus on getting the job done no matter how ruthless, deadly, or manipulative he must be. He is, without question, the world’s greatest assassin&one of the most feared people on the planet.
The green hair, the maniacal cackle… You know exactly who he is&how far he’d go to put a smile on your face. Arguably the biggest thorn in the Dark Knight’s Batside (next to Ivy), Joker is Batman’s #1 adversary, as well as his polar opposite. Both were created by a great tragedy, but Batman has vowed to do whatever it takes to prevent similar incidents while Joker revels in creating chaos, believing that life’s a big joke. Not much is known about his past, but his acts during the present are what define him as one of the greatest threats to the world. He’s killed a Robin, crippled a Batgirl, and tortured&murdered countless people… Just for a laugh. Physical attacks are not his fortay, though he has been known to pummel people with crowbars. Chemical weapons, bombs, punching gloves, acid squirting flowers, and more are the commonplace gags Joker likes to run with.
Aquaman receives a lot of flak&is often the butt of superhero jokes. He would earn your respect if given a chance, though. The king of Atlantis has command of the seas, far enhanced durability, eyesight, and physical prowess that rivals that of Superman. Trident in hand, he is a force to be reckoned with.
Nowadays, everyone’s juggling an offline&online persona, but only one guy is a literal marriage of tech&man. Half-human, half-machine, Victor Stone is Cyborg, a digital&physical tank&true hero for the modern age. Although a star athlete, Vic only yearned for his father’s approval, but his dad was too focused on his scientific career to notice until the day Stone became his greatest experiment. After Stone suffered a grave injury, his father saved him by replacing over half his body with cybernetic parts. Now, Cyborg is plugged into every computer on Earth, and no firewall or brick wall can keep him out. While his cybernetic enhancements provide superhuman strength, speed, and endurance, that same technology destroys his chances to live as a professional athlete. Now flourishing in the digital realm, Stone is desperately alone in the physical world&still longs for his father’s affection. Hungry to find purpose again, he fights alongside the Justice League. I recently started seeing Teen Titans Go!&it is the corniest but most funny-as-hell thing. Anyone else watch it?
