RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Games and Tech Tom Clancy's Batman.........a man can dream

So a long time ago when I was first watching Batman: TAS every morning I spent many a school-lesson sitting in the corner working on a Batman game

It would be like a Splinter Cell take on Batman but with a little more action


Start with a random car-chase and criminal act, like a regular night as Batman, but you get lured into the classic super-villain team-up and have to work your way through them individually

Clayface was something about him taking over the Gotham Police HQ.

Then Poison Ivy with her underground plant warehouse and you had to set bombs off to destroy the wholeplace

Then sneaky-sneaky action into a frozen building with Mr. Freeze, having to defeat his Polar Bears through trickery and not violence
'Cos Freezey boy was more of an anti-hero in TAS, you could co-erce him to your side with some RPG talk and destroy things with his freeze-gun. Or piss him off and feel his wrath

2-Face was about the Subway train and smuggling down at the docks where you battle him in a massive warehouse with conveniently placed hiding spots to ambush him. I stole most of this from an episode

Bane took hostages in the linked Gotham Towers so you have to sneak up to the top in classic SP Cell action. I envisioned the buildings like that Sean Connery movie, Entrapment, where they're running around trying to commit some uber-crime

Penguin was some shit about a flying stadium like in an episode of the show, a big drawn out battle with Croc near a pool, like Vamp in MGS 2, and facing the dreaded multi-faceted umbrella gun/sword/gas shooter

Then Joker and Harley Quinn were at Arkham Asylum, and then a Circus with all the classic attractions, like the Mirror House of Death, and Ghost Ride that try's to decapitate you

Then Ra's Al Ghul in a sword fight, because some suckah had to organise the whole thing, and he's the only one that fits the bill






Feels good to get that off my chest. I was thinking about it in the shower today and how the Boss battles could be as open-ended as in MGS3. Any idea's? Or how you could incorporate a free-roaming aspect talked about in the link below into a Splinter Cell style affair?

Free roaming Bat-gangsta'?

Why not both?

I don't mind Batman having a large sneaking element as well as carnage element. I just don't want the control in a free-roam Batman game to be as terrible as the Splinter Cell controls.

Wow...what's wrong with the controls in Splinter Cell?

Bats would need some kind of interrogation system too. No pansy MGS/SC interrogation where you just grab them from behind and get all the info, he'd need a Punisher style system where you have to beat the info out of them or hang them off a building

Instead of Punishers 4 interrogation moves of-- punching in the face, slamming face onto ground, choking, and pushing gun to head, Batmans could be:

Stabbing criminal in the chest with a batarang repeatedly

Threatening with chemicals that burn the skin

Taking his utility belt off and whipping the guy

Throwing criminal to floor and kicking the info out of him

you forgot about the wood chipper interogation
