Batman The Telltale Series is the Definitive Version of Batman

Batman The Telltale Series is the Definitive Version of Batman - There have been many incredible iterations of The Dark Knight, but Telltale Games has managed to create the definitive version of the character.

Lol not even close

Batman the Animated series, Batman Arkham, a shit load of variations of the characters in the comics, some versions in the animated films. I could go on

[emiyaxtousaka]

Arkham is solid but the great thing about Telltale's version is it's bruce half the time and batman half the time. the comics yeah, the animated films, only mask of the phantasm imo, and the animated series i can't comment because i've only seen a few. there are some valid points but for me the dark knight trilogy has defined batman for me.

He was Bruce plenty of times in the Animated series...Kevin Conroy played such a great role where his Batman was gruff, dark, moody while his version of Bruce was upbeat, soft spoken, friendly. The voice change between the two is what made the series so great as it showed both sides of him

@fox
Agreed. Telltale’s is alright as an Earth 2 type of elseworlds “what if”, but it’s not the definitive version I’ll be coming back to. For various reasons. Too many characters get pissy with Bruce/Bats no matter what. Gordon, Lucius, Vicki, Waller, frenemies everywhere.

John Doe needs to grow a set with Harley already. Not a fan of Thomas Wayne as a pos crime lord. Bruce getting arrested both seasons.

[emiyaxtousaka]

eh just because it's not traditional doesn't mean it's just a "what if". it can still be the best version of the character to date, not saying it is, just saying it could be. i do like how there's so much bruce wayne in it though. we haven't seen that too much, at least in gaming. TDK trilogy did a good job with it though as well as the animated series, and of course the comics. it's also cool that you literally shape the joker's character. that being said there are still issues with it, especially the first season. killing lucius was stupid. viki being evil...not a fan of that either.

[TheSuperiorGamer]

Bruce's dad being evil killed the series for me. Couldn't even try season two because of it.

[emiyaxtousaka]

Telltale's series has been hit or miss IMO, and I didn't grow up with the animated series because I'm too young, but I think the dark knight trilogy has defined batman for the modern era. i guess a lot may depend on how the last episode goes. they did some really cool twists with bruce's father and such. it's also taken on mental illness and PTSD with Alfred, so it's cool that they've dealt with mental illness as well. It's better than the Arkham games though, much better, though they're different kinds of games.

[lifeistranger]

The first season was only good when John and Bruce teamed up, and really this season will only be great if the finale is flawless. Don't trust Telltale to handle this though, some of their work lately has sucked.

Batman from the Arkham series is the best incarnation

Arkham Batman is the most classical example of all versions of Batman. He is distant and secretive from his friends and allies, he's independent and self-reliant to the point of being self-destructive, and is tragically incapable of changing and adapting his problems even if he is aware of them.

[nintendoswitchfan]

Especially in Arkham Knight. I think that's the best incarnation of Batman, followed by the animated series. Arkham Knight delved into his psyche and the consequences of his actions as Batman more than anything, IMO, and his secretive nature hurts everyone around him. It's pretty tragic.

[lifeistranger]

Arkham Knight was amazing. Those hallucinations of the Joker were such a great pathway into the inner mind of Batman. Really need to play it again.

[OldManWyatt]

I love the psychological investigation this article does with the Joker and Batman. It’s a fun and interesting read!

[lifeistranger]

It's the one thing that's making this season and even last worthwhile. It better have a good payoff. Way too premature to say that this is the definitive version of batman.

[TheSuperiorGamer]

The Animated Series was, and will always be, the best version of Batman.

[Uglyday]

Give Guerrilla Games Arrow and I will be happy.

[GamesMaster1982]

While i don't think it's the definitive version i do like the Darker tone that this series has. It makes the recently Batman movies look like they were made for children.

[emiyaxtousaka]

Do you mean the DC Universe? Those films are awful. Only good one is Wonder Woman and I did like Man of Steel. That whole universe of films needs to die.

It's definitely a cool twist on the mythos. It may not be the definitive version of Batman, it may well end up defining the Joker's origin story. It's fascinating.

[GamesMaster1982]

Yeah like Justice League and stuff. Don't get me wrong i enjoyed the Bale batman movies and even liked the Michael Keaton one's but this new direction in my opinion is just boring as hell. I would love a movie done like the way Telltale has done with this version of Batman.

[Knightofelemia]

I thought the TellTales Batman was boring as hell its missing that certain feeling that their other games have like the Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us had to immerse me into the game. Even Guardians of the Galaxy is boring as hell as well. I like the Bat but I prefer him in the Arkham games with Kevin Conroy as the voice of the Bat.

[Tross]

I don't know the Batman comics, but it's bold to say the main source material is not the definitive version. I do know the games however, and they have been an obsession of mine, almost prompting me to check out those big omnibuses of the comics before deciding, at least for now, that I need to increase my nerd levels quite a bit before dedicating an inordinate amount of time to a long-running comic of all things, knowing that comics are soul-sucking timesinks that make games seem like a walk in the park.

Still, I love both the Arkham and Telltale series, and speaking solely as a Batman game fan, I don't think I can quite say I agree. Both series killed the Nolan films for me, as they've revealed that there's so much to the Batman franchise that those films never covered. I will even say that I appreciate that Telltale took advantage of its style of games to provide more focus on the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne, with the latter getting a great deal of focus, thus providing an experience the Arkham games do not. However, in the Arkham games you get to be Batman, perform his attacks, hide out and perform stealth take-downs, glide off buildings and grapple up them, and so much more.

Comparing the two experiences is like comparing apples to oranges and I'm glad I've tried them both, but as a gamer first and foremost, I have to give the Arkham games the edge. As a glimpse into what I'm assuming is just the tip of the iceberg, both are far superior gateways into the Batman lore than the previous string of live action films, or even the latest ones, but if I must choose a game series that I prefer over the other, Arkham takes it. Telltale's series is still well worth checking out though.

I'm personally partial to Arkham Batman.
