Honestly, Arkham Origins is one of those cases where shoddy Quality Control totally ruined the game. I adored their version of Bane, and I found the writing and even the gameplay to be solid, but it totally rubbed me the wrong way when they said they would stop patching the issues in order to work on DLC.
Eh, I can live with it. Saying you'd screw up the world implies that it isn't already screwed up. You stop World War II, and, suddenly, there's no need for an atomic bomb, meaning you've replaced the Cold War with 40 years of peace. Even if it does come along, you've delayed it by a few years, and sure, it might seem…
I could dig it, but how much work would it really be? You could just figure out exactly where he struck oil (since it's history) and bada bing! You're dancin' like Daniel Plainview. Plus, The Future. I'll bet there's all kinds of cool stuff (or terrifying, depending on which path we go down).
There are plenty of other ways to make money using Time Travel. The California Gold Rush, buying up John D. Rockefeller's oil fields, and that's just in contemporary society. Imagine the riches you'd amass if you flew into Ancient Egypt in a 747. Kill a few genocidal maniacs, save a few presidents, and woo a few…
Exactly. There are just too many components needed for him to be able to win for "The force" to account for. The complex mechanisms and robotics in his limbs are all electronic, his respirator and life support systems are electronic; hell, he wouldn't even be able to see out of his helmet if an EMP went off. The most…
Plus, wouldn't an EMP like that also take out his prostheses, leaving Vader to try to force choke Batman with his stump, while in excruciating pain from the third degree burns all over his body?
You and me both. This brought a huge smile to my face. Between this, and the new line of action figures, all we need is a Blu-Ray release for the series and Mask of the Phantasm, and I'll be set. A year ago I would've said a revival would be awesome, but with Gordon, Alfred and Freeze all gone, I don't think I'd want…

I'm genuinely surprised by the lack of an article for this guy:
Dammit. I hate Kinja.
Definitely. That's one of the things that drives me away from doing it online. I'm in Northeastern Ohio, so the Pittsburgh one's not too far, but it's a matter of finding the time. 4 and a half hours for a shelving unit's not at the top of my "to do" list.lol
Agreed. I own two of these types of figures (the Reeve Superman from 2011; the only one I could never part with), and a custom Clint Eastwood as Blondie, and they're in their boxes 99.85% of the time.
I wouldn't really call Hot Toys "limited editions," as they're pretty much mass produced, at this point, but they do cut off the production run at a certain point, and once they're sold out, depending on the demand and/or rarity of a figure, you can expect the prices to rise accordingly on the secondary market (eBay…
It is. They released it on their Facebook page a few days ago. I think they just wanted to give people a chance to see the movie before they "updated" their product with that potential spoiler.
This is my biggest fear, when it comes to the Arkham City Batman figure that's coming out (which I'm genuinely surprised no one has covered on here; it's Hot Toys, and Batman, AND Video Games all rolled into one awesometacular package). Granted, they haven't released official photos, yet, but he definitely seemed to…
