I will always say what my favorite Batman story is when given the chance. Incredibly poignant writing and performances. Conroy never did a better job conveying such raw emotion, internal conflict, and pathos. A true masterpiece that deftly handles mental health and self-doubt.
Happy Birthday, Bob La Follette! 167 years ago, Robert M. La Follette was born on a farm in Primrose, WI. La Follette would go on to represent Wisconsin in both chambers of Congress and serve as the state's 20th governor.
@MichSciFiYT In practice/execution, City is blissfully unconcerned with basic storytelling & I think crosses the line into an outright deceitful piece of media. That wasn't Rocksteady's intent, but holy fuck, did the story team of Paul Dini, Paul Crocker, & Sefton Hill not bring this together
@TheMainLogic@squarednation_ There's a particular reason why I wouldn't do that even though I'd like to experience it completely fresh again.

@brunovelazquez@youtheremehere I want to let you know that Valhalla was an especially phenomenal and poignant experience for me, as I was recovering from a kidney donation surgery in December 2023. I shed tears just by talking about it with a friend this summer. Thank you so very much!
@squarednation_@bags0ffood@HenryHarper523 This theme means absolutely nothing me, but especially so during its place in the story.
I could honestly go on about how I don't emotionally associate Arkham City's soundtrack with the actual events of the game, the polar opposite of Arkham Asylum and Knight.
@MichSciFiYT@Batmanggx I've seen for years that general AK criticisms get so petty, superficial, trifling, and vacuous, all while the that game preceded it gets distorted under a mountain of vague, fawning praise out of sheer ignorance. It's so ridiculous and kind of a real indictment of the fanbase.
@MichSciFiYT@Batmanggx Also, WTF are you talking about for "story beats from City that it just drops or ruins"? That has to stem from blatant infatuation for such ho-hum side missions. 'The main game wasn't about Azrael's vague prophecy shit & Hush's silly schemes. YoU'rE oBjEcTiVeLy FaLsE!'
@MichSciFiYT The last I'll bombard you with.
Arkham Knight is the most definitive proof that Rocksteady was cognizant of a lot of City's innumerable narrative issues, even if general audiences and the hardcore fanbase to this day remain bizarrely oblvious.

@batmitekiller@parker_mikha@2kplayer6010@AlCJ200228 Arkham City being the shortest story campaign is just objectively fucking true. It's maybe 5 hours long for more normie fans, but I think I could play through it in like 3.
