Who else is in Batman's 'gang'?

The Police?

Other street/urban heroes?

I assume that, like Batman: NML, the GCPD will be another "gang". The Bat's "gang" will probably be various members of the Bat-Family: Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, maybe/hopefully even Spoiler and Azrael. I'd say Huntress, but then I'm hoping for a Birds of Prey "gang" down the line.

Oh man, I'd love to have them put out an Azrael miniature!

Did he even make an appearance/get a mention in Arkham City?

I think the Police will be in there for certain, and eventually we'll see Nightwing and Robin.

And maybe Batgirl too?

Any other street level heroes we can plan/hope for?

Azrael maybe (as he does show up a few times during Arkham City), and Catwoman.

Remember that it's based on Arkham City, and there was no Batgirl in that (Oracle was there, but I don't think an ex-Batgirl in a wheelchair will be all that useful in combat).

While 'based on' Arkham City, I bet they'll expand it a bit, if possible, as it would be necessary for a healthy game with a bright future!

However, having said that, I'm psyched that Azrael's actually in Arkham City!

I haven't payed the game yet - soon! - but since he's in, hopefully that means he'll be getting a miniature and rules!

They never said it was limited to Arkham City, it just the theme the are going for. There facebook page even makes it sound like they not going to just limit to it either.

With... "The game includes the most important characters created by Bob Kane, like Batman himself, Robin, Nightwing, etc. aided by the Ghotam City
Police trying to stop the gangs led by the most infamous criminals and psychopaths of the DC Comics universe, like The Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, the immortal Rash al Goul and many others. " and "Batman universe has a very rich and detailed background, with over 65 years of comic-books, tv shows, movies, etc." No where dose it say only Arkham City will be used.

Right, we know that.

There was some discussion a while back about the specifics of licensing agreements, and how 'specific' this one might, or might not, be.

And then there's the fact that virtually every picture has 'Arkham City' on it, and that the visual design of every single mini so far is based upon their Arkham City appearance. Plus those quotes above list no character that isn't in Arkham City.

Therefore, slashing at this with Occam's Razor, we find that it's most likely an Arkham City game, with Arkham City characters, based on Arkham City.

With Azrael, I hope!

Or the style of Arkham makes better models in there eyes, so they called it Arkham City s everyone knows what there going for. It's never been said one way or the other, one limits what the could put in and there profit, the other lets them keep going for a long, long time. From a business point of view, not limiting it mean they can go pretty much forever.

Did you miss the Occam's Razor part?

The simplest solution is often the best, and if it walks like Arkham City, talks like Arkham City and smells like Arkham City then it's probably related to Arkham City.

Perhaps, but the description of the game from their facebook actually reads more like a description of a game set during No Man's Land than Arkham City.

The two do share similar concepts, but, as stated, sticking purely to Arkham City rather than using it as a draw for a larger player base would be very limiting to the future of the game.

Isn't that cause Arkham City is heavily inspired by No Mans Land?

So was the latest movie, that's not really saying too much.

As to Batman's gang, given the abilities he is generally depicted as having, I would assume it would just be Bats v. the entire enemy gang (named baddie plus redshirts) if they are looking for an even match. Somebody like Azrael or Robin would need either each other or some GPD backup to call it even.

But...where are all the tiny pouches? The spherical shoulders? The ribbon cape?
The terrible art of my youth is being trampled before me.

I guess most people who like comics and played Arkham City, just can't wait to see more characters in that brilliant Rocksteady design.

Not discuss more , in december :(was a surprise for december)

THE DARK KNIGHT





http://mistycball.blogspot.com.es/2012/12/the-dark-knight.html

Interesting.

That's not an AC model.

Really nice models! Interesting to see that the Dark Knight will have different rules to the AC Batman, very good idea.

I guess we will keep waiting for the rules to actually find out. Won't we.

Let's see if they release rules quicker if we all make frustrated "stuck in the grocery store line" sounds.

*a lip smack with a somewhat loud passive agressive deep sigh with an eye roll and a look at a watch*

*grunts annoyingly while widly craning neck and reaching arms up, pretending to strech*

Loud sigh, paging through tabloids, tells kids "No candy!"

He has is own rules? Like what? Not showing up in his own movie for an hour?

I for one would like to see The Hitman, and maybe the Jason Blood/Etrigan.

Aside from that, the guys are really looking good there. Hope to have mine ordered sometime next week.

Just spent some time looking around the internet, trying to find any new information or updates on this game...


...nothing!

Maybe 2013 will give us a bit more insight into this system!

I was hoping we would have some kind of rules even if it was just a beta version before Christmas, just means my money goes elsewhere for now.
