    Anyone have a good plot for a Batman/Ivy/Harley fic? Trying to learn the backstory and the continuity of any comic franchise is like wading into a quagmire. There's at most a dozen worthwhile Batman fics. I'm not at all surprised by the shortage.

    This one's kinda good.

    Batman/Ivy/Harley probably wouldn't work unless it was during Harley's stint away from the Joker when she and Ivy worked together, and then it would probably be Ivy using plant mojo to monkey with his mind.

    By all logical thought patterns, Harley would only leave Joker if he was dead, and this I oppose greatly.

    Of course, objectively, it could make a good character piece. Someone finally decides enough is enough, and they put Joker down for good, based on the Trickster quote from Underworld Unleashed; "When super-villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories."

    Harley goes berserk and tries to pound the creep into human putty, Batman comes up. you get the set up.



    Yeah. Giving Grant Morrison control was bad for the series. While I give him a lot of credit for more use of the al Ghul family, and Talia specifically, but for the most part, Morrison has been a bane upon the fandom.

    Color me skeptical. :|

    I'll give it a try, however.

    Yeah. :| I'm more for Ivy/Batman myself as well. Quin would never believably leave the Joker long enough for it to be anything more than a "rebelling teen" moment or a set up.

    You'd be surprised at the amount of Harley/Ivy there is around. Most of it's fluff to the max, though, so if that ain't your bag you're screwed.

    Finished the game today, will go back and collect riddler trophies and spirit of arkham logs, Titan!Joker taking the batpunch was an awesome part of the last cutscene.

    If we get to see a sequel in Gotham I'll be damn happy; keys to the batmobile please. :awesome

    Sorry, I mean Batman/Ivy or Batman/Harley.

    One idea is that Harley might be interested in Batman due to her obsession with Joker - who always calls Batman the other side of the same coin, with the tragedy and comedy quote. So after the Joker kicks it, she transfers her fixation to the Batman, who just has a different kind of glamour than the Joker.

    In regards to the game, the fact that someone got 12 million points on the Crazy Night's DLC still blows my mind. I can not believe someone seriously got that high of a score. The best I can do is 250,000 and it takes like 20 minutes.

    Dude, wtf, my record is something like 12,000 on crazy night.

    But I haven't tried it with the armoured suit yet, so :awesome

    I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to find out the total number of people who are ranked on the batman challenges, specifically the totally insane challenge map. I know my own rank, my friends, and the top 100, but I was hoping to find out a total to compare to.

    $7.50 on Steam. If your computer can run it there's no excuse to not get it if you haven't already.

    How well does it play on the computer? I have it for Xbox, but I didn't bring it with me to college and I've gotten the urge to play this again.

    Also, if it is good, are there any worthwhile mods for it?

    Thanks for the heads up! I can play it on the PS3 when I go visit my parents, but having a copy of my own (and at such a price) is too good to pass up. :awesome

    It plays damn well on computer and has better graphics (if your machine can handle it), but there's not really any mods apart from various reskins.
