[Poison Shadow]

I mentioned earlier that Ra's and Talia weren't very high on my list of wanted characters. I've been thinking since then and actually - after these recent reveals - they ARE at the top of my list now! Just about all of my most requested characters were just shown off.

Is Blackgate any good? I've thought about getting now that it's on PSN but mainly because I want to see how the story goes (come on it's the first meeting with Catwoman) but if it's total garbage I'm sure I can find a walkthrough on Youtube or something.

Man I'm still pumped about those figure reveals. It's been a long time since action figures have gotten me this hyped. I feel like a kid again.

Arkham Origins is actually my favorite game in the series. It gave us a great new Batsuit design, an awesome Knightfall-like storyline with (FINALLY!) a very well done version of Bane, NAILED Joker and Harley's first meeting, and (although Black Mask got shafted) it had a memorable intro for Joker.

Blackgate is okay if you like games done in the old Metroid/Castlevania style - where you explore and backtrack through a 2D location, finding gadgets which let you proceed to previously locked areas. I typically don't like those kinds of games - but I held in there with this one and the constant backtracking only got to me at the very end. The combat is terrible, but I liked the puzzle solving. The boss fights were pretty good too. The story, while basic, was okay. It will seem entirely pointless if the Suicide Squad stuff doesn't have a big payoff in the future though.

What's kind of funny is that the Multiverse AC Catwoman could actually be seen as an AO version too - she wore the exact same costume for her first appearance. It makes the Date Night multipack make a little more sense.
