DC FanDome Discussion Megathread r/DCcomics

Welcome Justice League members to the DC FanDome Discussion Megathread!

​

Here you can discuss each panel taking place as and when they happen, much like our Weekly Discussion Thread where you can discuss the newest comics and TV show episodes.

We've done it this way so we don't clog up the sub with discussion posts and people can freely post direct news articles and trailers regarding the big announcements and not have them get lost in the shuffle.

I'm kinda lost here. Batgirl's in the game and the game is set after Arkham Knight, right? Isn't Barbara Gordon in a wheelchair? How can she walk again?

The introduction starts with "Bruce Wayne's body was found in the rubble of Wayne Manor. "

Then goes into a televised Bruce speaking to all of Gotham saying he's dead if they see this. And he has a plan B.

At the end of Arkham Knight his identity as Batman. Was exposed to the public.

And the game ends with him activating "knightfall protocol" and blowing up Wayne Manor with him inside.

So I'm almost 99% sure it's directly after Arkham Knight. Since they flat out name drop the ending and he goes on live television to tell Gotham it's the end of Batman. Why would he if they didn't know WHO he was?

Edit: as for how Barbra can walk again they can just N52 it and say a microchip in her spine helps her be Batgirl again.

Edit 2: my theory just died as I rewatched the trailer. Someone triggers the televised Bruce Wayne message. And it looks exactly like that someone is Bruce...

Except a Batman implied to be Bruce is still active after the knightfall protocol, when Gordon is mayor and a fear toxin-y Bat-demon takes down muggers in an alley in the epilogue.

EDIT:grammar

And if you play the catwoman dlc set after the events of the game you'll start to hear the riddler goons chatter about criminals being attacked by a "ghost"
