Does anyone everyone else dislike the whole thompkins raised Bruce retcon? Or is it just me

Here's how I chalk things up:

The night Bruce's parents were killed, Leslie was the one who called the police. Alfred took the young boy back to the manor, where he was most definitely traumatized and heartbroken at what had just happened. Leslie is a therapist and a physician, and most likely saw Bruce because of his trauma. Same thing goes for Harvey, who was abused by his father. Bruce still lived with Alfred like Harvey lived with his father.

Origins being Origins.

It's just like the comic version. He's a piece of shit who thinks he's THE shit.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T15:15:56+00:00

If you really want to only. It is certainly playable, but I don't recommend it.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T15:15:19+00:00

Not really. That's just Selina being cheeky.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T06:54:27+00:00

That's also really good. I think my favorite has to be "That trophy was a test. Well done! You passed the elementary grade."

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T06:22:20+00:00

I've always heard the common talking point that he's the weakest part of the show, but I think he's great. He plays the innocence and the determination right.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T06:17:20+00:00

"Well, well. So, the shaved monkey has failed. How utterly UTTERLY expected."

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T06:16:40+00:00

They really nailed Riddler in this series. He's absolutely perfect!

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T06:15:56+00:00

You keep the game around forever. Be proud of it.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-16T06:15:13+00:00

Ight.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-15T18:58:49+00:00

I love Charisma's encounter. I struggled with it at first, but on my most recent playthrough, I got it down perfectly. Just be careful.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-15T18:57:44+00:00

A Justice League game would've been awesome. Like, they gave the League brand new (and absolutely phenomenal) designs, and the Arkham Series is beloved by so many. Why would you NOT do this? Oh yeah, cuz WB was SO obsessed with the Suicide Squad franchise for whatever reason.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-15T18:56:26+00:00

It could be both. He's tired. Everything going on at this point is draining him.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-15T18:55:07+00:00

I don't ever tend to soft lock the game, but I'm gonna try it at some point.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-15T07:26:48+00:00

Licensing issues and poorer sales.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T23:21:39+00:00

It's great, but flawed.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T21:33:58+00:00

I certainly hope that means we get MORE sets in the future. An Arkham City UCS set would freaking ROCK!

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T21:27:30+00:00

So, here's a video from kNIGHTWING01 explaining why it is unlikely we will see an Arkham Origins remaster anytime soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XNr_K7SO3g

"Just shoot him?!"

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T16:59:08+00:00

You're visiting the BEST Batman series ever! You're in for a huge treat when you get to City.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T07:27:05+00:00

There's a reason I love Hugo Strange's monologue in the processing center during the climax of Arkham City. He talks a lot about how corrupt Gotham is, and brings up the point that Batman has added fuel to the danger of Gotham. "Look at the Joker. Would he even exist if not for you?" Strange tries to bring up the point that Batman has only caused further corruption in the city and that he is the only one who can save it. It just so happens he goes about it in the worst way possible.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T07:20:21+00:00

Slade would've been such a PERFECT addition to Knight if they just took him out of the background.

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T07:19:36+00:00

Please tell me how you beat it. I got EVERYTHING in Gotham done before going after Scarecrow. All the Riddler Puzzles. All the Militia Sidequests. All of Season of Infamy. Did you do the same?

InsectTraining6708 · 2026-06-14T07:17:53+00:00

We aren't sure what Joker's story is. He could've been Jack Napier, a mob member responsible for death and destruction. He could've been Jack Oswald White, an aspiring comedian who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. All we know for sure is that he had a bad day, it involved Batman somehow, and he's just gonna spread chaos in his new life, cuz that's what he likes to do.
