Batman: Assault on Arkham

*Raph's Girl* · 04-18-2014, 08:45 PM

Coming out later this year and based on the game. Batman: Assault on Arkham. And looky here! We have Kevin Conroy as Batman/Bruce Wayne aaaand Amanda Waller is fat!! YAY!! The return of Fat Amanda Waller!! Plus she's voiced by CCH Pounder again!!

The title may say Batman but it seems to be more of a Suicide Squad movie.

So WB truly is determined to drive the Arkham branding into the ground as quickly as possible.

Yeah, of course.

Thank god Kevin Conroy is finally returning. Aside from the games, what was the last full-length episode or feature he worked on?

Its been quite some time since Kevin Conroy voiced Batman for an entire movie rather than a brief scene or one moment. I think the last time was back in....2009 or so with that Supergirl movie?

I thought the Arkham movie was going to be CG, ugh. This is a storyline I would've liked to see but now that it's set in the convoluted Arkham universe I lost a lot of interest in it.

Just waiting for the Arkham musical.

*CyberCubed* · 04-19-2014, 07:10 AM

The Arkham series is turning into its own Batman universe, so I don't see the problem. They just need to drop the ridiculous "Arkham" from the title of everything but sadly they can't because its now brand recognition for this universe.

I'd like a series of movies set in the Arkham series. Anything to hear more Kevin Conroy as Batman.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 04-19-2014, 07:59 AM

It has Conroy in it. That's as much convincing as I need

*Brodie* · 04-19-2014, 08:46 AM

Wow, I didn't think I could be any less interested in this. Guess I was wrong.

*The Stryker* · 04-19-2014, 09:31 AM

Looks like trash and it has Conroy again.

So boring trash.

*CyberCubed* · 04-19-2014, 10:12 AM

The preview is amazing. Between this and "Son of Batman" there are some great films this year.

Too bad the New 52 Justice League movie was pretty bad. Nice fight scenes but the characters were bland and there was no story at all.

so...pretty much anything Batman related?

**Jester** · 04-19-2014, 11:02 AM

DC Superheros: Well....at least Batman. You guys know we have Batman right?

*Redeemer* · 04-19-2014, 01:35 PM

I am dissappointed I was hoping Assault on Arkham would follow more closely to the games, but hopefully this movie will still be good.

Well, It is set in the universe of the Game. I wonder if there will be any reference to the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight game.

It's obviously set after Akham Origins but before Arkham Asylum. Not so sure what's hard about that to figure out.

I forgot about Origins, and Cyber I have only played Asylum and City. No need to be an ass.
Just stating the obvious discrepancy Joker being alive and Harley's resentment towards Joker is something we haven't seen in the universe yet, that I am aware of.

*CyberCubed* · 04-19-2014, 06:23 PM

Even if you didn't play Origins it was promoted as a prequel since the moment it was announced and Joker was shown in all the preview clips in it. This movie probably follows directly after the events of that game.

Remember Arkham Asylum had Tim Drake in it, it obviously took place years later in Batman's career.
