Check the gameplay vids - looks like a ton of fun. And it's batman dammit! Might just wait for the full game befoire getting the demo though, a little much download for my monies.

Batman? I find batman the lamest of all superheroes.

I'm a Punisher / Wolverine kinda guy myself. Not too big on the bat. Though I think superman is one of the most lame superheroes.

No way, Superman is a slick daddy. He can fly and is invincible and has super strength. What more do you want?

Never heard of Punisher. Sounds like some kind of jail specific hero.

Wolverine I don't really like cos everyone does. X-Men used to be cool before the movies. For some reason I always liked Gambit, but tbh, not really into X-Men.

Best superhero ever....



Slight possiblity of being a paedofile though.

Punisher is less of a superhero and more of a badass with guns and little in the way of morals. You seriously haven't heard of him? He's got movies!

Yea, The Punisher movie is actually one of the comic book movies i like. I have the first game but i failed to complete it because i became bored.

EDIT: no i failed to complete it because the minigames were fucked up, for some reason when you had to bash someones head against a table my mouse wouldnt work.

Installing Batman atm, however i've been warned that i failed the system requirements, so that's not very promising

Let us know how it is J Very interested in this game

Derf: Superman cool? Wha? Superman is way lamer than batman! At least Batman isn't "superhuman", which makes him sympathetic in a way...same with the Punisher. Superman is so incredibly powerful that most stories involving him could be solved by simply taking out kryptonite from the equation. There's barely anything else that will stop him.

Anyway, I think a lot depends on the Batman you grew up with. The cheesy-ass original Adam West Batman from the 70's TV show, yeah, that was ultrolame. But the Batman of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns/Dark Knight Strikes Again comic books is a sick puppy struggling with moralism and walking a thin line between fascism and heroism. Even the latest movies made him look cool.

As far as superheroes go I'll always like The Juggernaut though. Virtually invulnerable, monstrously strong, basically unstoppable...but a huge, dumb tool.



Symbiont spiderman is cool too. And The Sandman. And Dr. Manhattan. And The Comedian.
