Batman And The Death Of Robin
19 April 2013 7:49 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Last month the comic book iteration of the ongoing Batman saga suffered a savage blow when the most recent incarnation of Batman’s protégé, Robin, was killed in action. In this current version of the narrative, the boy wonder was Bruce Wayne’s own son, Damian Wayne (his mother was Talia al Ghul) – thus his death marks not only the loss of Batman’s partner in his crusade for vengeance, but also the devastating personal tragedy of losing a child.*
DC comics decided to symbolically acknowledge the enormity of Wayne’s grief by stripping away some of the primary narrative devices with which the comic book medium communicates. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrated by Patrick Gleason, Batman and Robin #18 (the first in that series set after the murder of his son) was an issue that made the bold choice to be conveyed entirely in silence.
Gone were speech bubbles and narration. »

Batman: Arkham Origins – Fan Reaction Analysis
15 April 2013 8:29 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
This past Tuesday Warner Bros. announced the latest instalment to their Batman series, Batman: Arkham Origins. Since then a wave of news has surfaced about the game and fans reactions have been mixed. Do the concerns have any weight or are they just making mountains out of mole-hills?
What seems to be the biggest concern for fans is that Rocksteady, developers of the first two, are not making the latest title. Instead Warner Bros. Games Montreal is heading up development. I don’t see the big problem, especially since we knew quite a while ago that Rocksteady wouldn’t be developing this title. Rocksteady have more than proven themselves with their first two Batman games and despite a new developer the game will be pretty much the same both in aesthetic and gameplay mechanics.
Rocksteady even came to the defence of Games Montreal. Sefton Hill, director of Arkham Asylum and City, »

Batman: Arkham City 2: 10 Reasons It Will Be Better Than The Prequel
13 February 2013 2:20 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Batman Arkham video games – Arkham Asylum and Arkham City – have been two of the best received superhero video games in recent years. Finally, a set of games based on a comic book character that aren’t a terrible movie tie-ins or just generally poor.
Now it has been announced that a third Arkham game will be released this year, while Rocksteady (the studio behind both games) are reportedly stepping away from the series and are – instead – working on a stylised prequel detailing Batman’s first encounter with the Joker, which isn’t likely to be out until at least 2014. But which of the two games will be better? My money’s on the Arkham City sequel, and here’s 10 reasons why.
