Use this thread to discuss the upcoming game and how Babs pertains to it.


The gameinformer hub has all you need and is constantly updated, and says the sidekicks are all somewhere in the city, and that Alfred replaces Babs: gameinformer.com/p/arkham2.aspx

They also released this article with stills:

And can ANYONE verify the authenticity of this image?!?!?

Uhhhhhh, that is pretty awesome!!! I especially like the Two-Face and Catwoman image...and let's not forget the Robin/Batgirl image! I really hope that is NOT a fake!

Sadly, after following the link in the corner, I realized it's a fake Hopefully they're still in it though. On Good news, new HQ screen caps. I love the ones of Two-Face, and for obvious reasons, Harley Quinn's new NEW costume. media.xbox360.ign.com/media/055/055051/imgs_1.html

I know it will probably be Cassandra under the Batgirl cape and cowl, but i must say that i really hope it's gonna be Stephanie. Since Babs is already in the first game as Oracle, it's gotta be either Cass or Steph.

I'm just excited that there WILL BE a Batgirl! That is a HUGE step, I would say, especially since we know how popular this game is/will be.

Mehh... I don't really see Cassandra Cain as Batgirl, so if they put her in the game, it's just a chick in a creepy halloween ghoul costume to me, but not Batgirl. I don't feel any connection to Cassandra in any way. To me there's Barbara Gordon, and then there's Stephanie Brown.

I never understood why Kelley Puckett when out of his way to make the new Cass/Batgirl look and act nothing like what the Babs/Batgirl fans were used to. Well.... i do understand, because when i read an interview about it with Puckett, he made it pretty clear that he doesn't even like Barbara's Batgirl.
I just never saw the point in calling that a good legacy, when it quite clearly was designed by someone who doesn't respect the legacy at all.

While i don't like the whole hero legacy idea and think that there's only one true Batgirl, Barbara, one of the main reasons why i also love Stephanie Brown is because she does look and act like Batgirl. Stephanie to me really is what Cassandra Cain should have been. Something that is new, but does pay enough tribute and respect to Barbara Gordon's Batgirl to carry the title.
