I remember being super excited after finding out she was in Arkham Asylum.

After playing Arkham City, I honestly wanted to punch the next attractive red head in a wheelchair in the face. That voice actor was so annoying. And the dialogue script for everyone was terrible. Too much exposition and OOC. My nerdrage was immense.

I honestly don't see how the VA was annoying, and it's an alt universe, so it's not OOC. A little exposition heavy... Maybe. Honestly though, those are just nitpicks.

I thought she was fine spoilers:

until she and Alfred KILLED TALIA. They didn't help her live anyway. : (

end of spoilers

Oracle was amazing in Arkham City. I got a little lonely and creeped out whenever she wasn't talking to me.

Ever notice there was never a body during the fight? *coughthattaliawastotallyclayfacetherealoneisstill outthere* Even if she was dead, Lazarus solves everything!

The voice was so annoying. If I played with a wall within 20cm, I'd punch a hole in it every time I played it.

lol, I liked her voice. It's too bad they didn't use Tara Strong, though, since she was the Animated Series Batgirl, and was Harley in the game.

Well, there's always this image that started floating around when a post said there would be Harley Quinn DLC... In January (The post was in January, not the DLC, obviously). Frankly, I hope Oracle plays a different role next game. One idea I had for was actually setting up waypoints like the Catwoman ones for the entire Batfam.

They should just do a Chuck Dixon Batman Family Omni because he did so much for Bats.

I don't think very many of his stories were collected. They didn't routinely collect everything back then like they do now.

Ok, so does this kind of bug any one else? Now i have absolutely no problem with these porn parodies, but this one just kind of irks me for some reason. Not sure why, but is does.

Is probably the shitty costumes. It bothers me too.

Does anybody have a pick of the scary-ass future Oracle from Batman #666?

I wish we could see more of Barbara 666.

Which Batman was it you think Damian killed?
