For a second I though this was about the Tiananmen Square incident.

I don't know what's funnier ... how accurate this comic was or the fact Commissioner James Gordon has to rely on a dude dressed up as a bat ... beating guys up on the streets and causing more damage to property than a riot could dream of.

What's disturbing is in the actual Arkham Knight game, you can run over people... which causes them to fly upward and disintegrate due to the tank giving off an electrical barrier during the impact. So basically you can blow up people's cars with the tank, hit people and cause them to turn into ash mid air, AND use this hook from the tank to tear down ceilings / building ledges / parts of a building to create bridges. I don't know about you, but that seems REALLY conflicted of Batman to do, doesn't it?

I dunno... doesn't really seem out of character for him:

Daaamn. Now I want a Christopher Nolan movie about THIS Batman.

 

[Devieus]

And yet he still has to pretend he doesn't know where Batman just went off to, at least I hope he pretends.

This *is* the battletank Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now... :O

It operated long enough for it to become a villain: precisely one night.

But hey, it's just a game! All aboard the City Destruction Train! Choo choo!

 

[Tahaneira]

But if he doesn't cause massive amounts of collateral damage how will anyone know he's a superhero?

(HEYO low-hanging fruit.)

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

You mean he hasn't run over Gordon yet?

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

He's not the blithely unaware engine of destruction the city needs, but... dammit, he ran over my car.

 

[FPLOON]

Dammit, Batman! You'r suppose to clip through the building, not ram through it!

Other than that, you'd better tank him for his services, Gordon!

 

[vallorn]

I love that tank, it's as if a murderous clown was whispering in his ear while he was drawing up the schematics for it.

 

[Tsukuyomi]

Once again Critical Miss says what we're all thinking. I really am tired of all the mandatory Batmobile shenanigans. Okay, I can drive The Car, cool. Can you stop making it vital to EVERYTHING so I can play the damn game? Also: you'd think WayneTech could make a battletank that handles at a level greater than 'slightly better than the Mako from Mass Effect.'

I just don't know why they put batman in world of tanks!

 

[VikingKing]

It'd carry more impact if the city didn't magically regenerate after a time.

 

[crayzee]

I just don't know why they put batman in world of tanks!

Probably because batman would be too OP with his Bat-money and Bat-guns and and ...

 

[MCerberus]

Also, it seems cartoonish murder is a turnoff for a 90s videogame character

You mean he hasn't run over Gordon yet?

Gordon has plot armour. Not as much as Batman, but he's pretty safe.
