HAY GUYS

Defiantly making purchases (in the face of common sense) is a common and necessary trait in your garden-variety Sonic enthusiast.

Sure, the cashier at Gamestop may try to tell you that Sega hasn't put out a decent game since the Dreamcast but by god you just have to push past that!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Stealth doesn't necessarily mean MGS-style "hide all the time" mechanics. Lurking unseen until enemies let down their guard and then diving through a skylight is also a form of stealth. And that's kind of Batman's thing, isn't it? I mean I'm not 100% up to date (since as a rule I don't pay for Alan Moore's drug habit) but I don't think he's ever been a kick-in-the-front-door kind of guy.

That's why the developers have gone to such pains to refer to the mechanics as "predator mode" instead of "stealth"; because dozens of crappy I AM SUPERSPY games have made "stealth" a synonym for "HIDE FROM EVERYBODY OR GET KILLED IN ONE HIT".

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, really. What's Two-Face gonna do that the regular Gotham PD can't handle? Last I checked he wasn't exactly rockin' superpowers or even themed gadgetry. He's not especially strong or unusually clever. He's just a crazy violent guy who's only really remarkable because his face is so fucked up. Plug him with a tranq dart and call it a night. He's important to the canon, such as it is, but a serious threat he's not.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Literally any Joker story ever. Even the goofy ones about poisonous joker fish are better than Hush because the Joker/Batman relationship has a history and a... rapport, for lack of a better word, that you can't just duplicate by saying "oh, and these guys have known each other since childhood, I just forgot to mention it until a couple issues back". You can't fabricate something like that out of thin air and expect readers to just blindly accept it.

Just read... let's say The Killing Joke. That is how you present a compelling villain.

Hush is... unexciting, to say the least, but I think it maybe gets more venom than it really deserves purely because it was a big marquee Comics Event and so it was inescapable for a few months there if you follow comics at all, and if you already disliked it, well, by the end you were hating it purely on the basis of its omnipresence.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

It's not having to change character, it's having to change to an annoying, unlikeable character. A Batman game where you controlled, say, Nightwing or Robin or even Catwoman maybe would be fine, but nobody wants to be Azrael. Nobody.

I was speaking idiomatically.
