Batman Really Needs to Work on His Banter

Batman Really Needs to Work on His Banter

By April 30, 2009 Comics, Video Games 0 Comment


Yeah, it’s yet another Batman: Arkham Asylum video, and not even another villain spotlight. However, I justify running it to myself because either that’s Killer Croc running around or a very large mutant with a seriously unfortunate skin condition; plus, I just can’t get enough of all the attack-specific counters Batman pulls off in the game. Watch, and you’ll see what I mean as Bats grabs kicking legs, rolls on the ground, and takes away lead pipes from thugs, in true Jackie Chan style. He also body slams a few guys, because they had it coming. The only thing he doesn’t do is have a good quip ready when Bane shows up. Thanks to stalwart TR reader Arsenal for the tip.

About The Author

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
