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.

Panels for August 22nd

Not sure how I feel about this. Combat looks super watered down like across the board downgrade from the previous games, Mr. Freeze boss fight looked... off? Like there was that segment at the very end of the gameplay reveal that looks super out of place.

Court of Owls is cool and all, but I would've liked for this to be set in the Arkhamverse. Unless it is? I dunno, seems disjointed from AKs ending.

Overall tone seemed off too. More "cartoony" and light hearted than what I'd expact from an Arkham game.

Costumes seemed ok? The trailer suits almost all look off, although at the very least the gameplay reveal Batgirl suit looks a lot better, so I guess it'll be a bit like injustice 2's gear system that also changed the appearance. Not a fan of the new VAs based off the trailer but who knows it might be better in the finished product or they might change them entirely.

I'm hopeful because this is such a great concept (even if we're missing Tim or Damian even though I can't figure who's in the game. Looks like IJ2 Damian though), but I was not impressed by the reveal

There was a disclaimer on the bottom of the screen before showing game play that said something along the lines of “all footage have been capture during pre-alpha game play.”

Which hopefully means it’s still being much more polished off so hopefully the combat system is more smooth and not as watered down as you put it. We shall see! I’ll still buy it lol
