As much as I admire WB for putting so much care into their main batman games, this is THQ levels of franchise milking. When you think of batman, you don't tend to imagine someone using AK47s and rocket launchers...

Sure it's a decent enough game, it just kinda seems to go against everything Batman is about.

If its anything like the Beta, the framerate alone makes it a terrible mess

I enjoyed the beta once I got my wings. Found the lag/freezing was intermittent but troubling, hopefully the "official" beta will be on more robust hardware/code etc. Can't see any sense in abigsmurf's comment.

@abigsmurf
I dunno, it kind of ties into The Dark Knight Returns / The Dark Knight Strikes Again, the idea of warring gangs rampaging through Gotham

Of course Strikes Again is madder than a box of frogs, so it's debatable if that should be considered "proper Batman" as well...

The beta was interesting, but it was just a beta. This game will need a proper demo to distance itself from its competitors.

Closed beta was amusing but I wasn't blown away. As someone who sucks at competitive FPS games it was an amusing diversion but not that much different
