I’d argue it’s the best in any Telltale game yet. Slow-Motion PunchesĬombat in Batman is so much fun. At the same time, my version of Bruce gets his hands dirty when it’s the only way to get the intel he needs on a bad guy. It’s fun to play the two personalities off each other. I chose to give my Batman a conscience, so he is careful not to hurt anyone too much. Bruce can also fall anywhere on the nice guy/jerk scale, and in the newest episode, he can even cross ethical lines in his negotiations with a notorious mobster from whom he needs some information. Batman can be pretty hands-off while leaving arrests to the cops, or beat bad guys to a pulp to get them talking. It’s up to you to decide how far each will go to get their way. You’ll have several opportunities to choose whether to approach someone as Bruce or as Batman - smooth talking as Bruce might prevail in some situations, but the Bat has intimidation on his side. In this series, Bruce Wayne is often at odds with his alter ego Batman. These are just a few of the reasons Batman is such a stellar series from Telltale. (No major spoilers!) The series is just incredibly well-tuned. I also love the balance between investigating crime scenes and punching bad guys as Batman - then going home to the Batcave to research Gotham’s major players with Alfred. I love their take on people like Harvey Dent, Selina Kyle, and the Joker - they remain true to these characters’ personalities on the whole, yet present them in fresh contexts that make them feel new too. While I’m personally a big fan of the humor of their Tales from the Borderlands series, Batman has an unforgettable combination of epic action, a twisting storyline, and familiar characters framed in new lights. This past week I finished the first episode of Telltale Games’ second season of Batman, and I’d argue it’s their best series yet.
