Holy Time-Sink, Batman!
So when I heard that they were making a new Batman game on current generation systems, I let out a groan. There honestly has not been a good superhero game ever since they released that X-Men arcade game that we all have fond memories of playing at our local family themed pizza establishment.
Despite everything [...]
