From my little knowledge of Batman "canon", Strange is the only villain that knows Bruce Wayne is batman. Problem is that he is a minor bad guy that is taken as a joke by the "main" villains, who think Strange is an idiot.

Game-ur4905d ago

Dr. Simon Hurt leder of both the Black Glove and the Club of Villains Would have been a better fit

ReservoirDog3164905d ago

Well a villain who knows Batman's identity sounds like a pretty good plot device. But maybe in the next one right?

vanquisher4905d ago

Plot sound like its inspired by Batman R.I.P

JohnnyGo4905d ago

Everything Hurt has done, Strange did first. Hugo Strange was the first to invade the Batcave, seize assets away from Batman, and drive Bruce Wayne to a nervous breakdown to the point that Bruce had to self-hypnotize himself to create a back-up personality. In fact, BATMAN R.I.P. would have been far superior with Hugo in Hurt's role, since it would have been far more fitting to have Batman's first arch-nemesis be his ultimate arch-nemesis.

JohnnyGo4905d ago

And anyone who thinks this plot is inspired by BATMAN R.I.P. owes it to themselves to read Batman stories like STRANGE APPARITIONS and PREY, as well as an obscure classic called "Down to the Bone" from BATMAN ANNUAL #10 (I think that's the issue).

Everything Hurt did (save for the occult stuff), Strange did it first and better.

Not really. I might be mistaken, but I think that Silence and Ra's Al Ghul both knows that Bruce Wayne is Batman.

oldjadedgamer4905d ago

I don't really count Al Ghul as he isn't trying to out Bruce as Batman. Not sure about Silence.

LarVanian4905d ago

He was one of the very first Batman villains, created by Bob Kane himself. It is highly rumoured that Tom Hardy will play him in The Dark Knight Rises.

kaveti66164905d ago

what's the dark knight rises? is that the 3rd batman film by nolan?

lodossrage4905d ago

only followers of the comics will know him. Hugo strange used to be lead psych at arkham asylum in the comics. In reality, he's probably more dangerous than the joker because Strange is in COMPLETE control of his insanity

CobraKai4905d ago

I personally like Hugo Strange and I think this game is a great way for more casual fans to take notice. I wished the trailer they showed was more of the real-time gameplay, but as a CGI movie, it looked sick!!

Tdmd4905d ago

How can someone be in complete control of his insanity? Everywhere I look I see people saying he will be worst then Joker and I just don't see why or how so. Didn't knew him before the trailer, though. And I am not arguing, just wondering, for as I said, I don't know the character.

shadow27974905d ago

What happened to the Joker? He was in the last trailer. Is he still going to be in the game?

wwm0nkey4905d ago

Man really no one knows about Hugo Strange?

Arup024905d ago

I asked the same question. who the hell is he

The Arkham games are largely excellent, a shame they are being followed up by that god awful looking suicide squad game.

RaidenBlack214d ago

All 4 Arkham games are just amazing...
With the Gotham Knights turning out sub par, hope the Suicide Squad fails as well... So that both Rocksteady and WB Montreal goes back to creating good single player DC games ...
A batman beyond game maybe?

anal_vegan_moans213d ago

Having the game fail would make it harder for them to get funding for their next game, please don't wish this on them. They already delayed the game a whole year after backlash, so we still have to wait and see how it will turn out.

GhostScholar213d ago

I think asylum and origins were great. City was good. Knight was horrible.

Ezio2048214d ago

You can't expect a game to match 96-94 meta apple for apple. Different era and different gen. No need to diminish either game's achievement. Arkham City and Spiderman 2 are both amazing sequels that improved upon their already incredible first parts.

Tacoboto214d ago

To back that up, there are major websites that adjusted their review scales.

IGN used to have a 100 point system; now it's a 10 point system. I remember GameSpot back in 2004 was razed for giving Halo 2 a 9.4 when IGN gave it like a 9.7 or 9.8

darthv72214d ago

Arkham Asylum was great, but when City came out... wow what a total overhaul that was. Nothing has had that type of night/day difference in scope and scale since.

SM2 is looking to be a great game in itself. Definitely an upgrade over the previous entries. Just from the opening battle with sandman, it gives me god of war 2 vibes with how that one opened with the battle with colossus of rhodes. That is still one of my favorite sequels of all time.

Zeke68213d ago

Thanks for the spoiler how the game starts loser...

darthv72213d ago

Zeke... you've had plenty of time to play god of war 2.

GaboonViper214d ago

And right on cue, here comes the downplaying of Insomniacs masterpiece, not gonna work, this game is gonna be beast in success.

BehindTheRows214d ago

From the same folks who gave it a 10/10 no less.

I got 80% trophy completion on Ragnarok but left a few of the battles. Will come back to it one day.

Miraak82 321d ago

Dragon Quest 11 is my top pick

RpgSama320d ago

Dragon Quest XI was such an AMAZING game, I had a blast from the very beginning all the way to the very end, it actually got better the more you played, full of surprises as well.

Another game that I enjoyed from the very beginning all the way to the end of the 100% completion was Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Really, really, really fun game with a great heartfelt story.

badz149321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

Where is Horizon Zero Dawn?? where is Ghost of Tsushima?? I just got my Platinum on HZD and is now trying to finish the Frozen Wild expansion. so much care and love went into that game and it really shows. I especially adore the lore and have sunk many hours listening to the logs and reading journals. the back story is great and the gameplay is awesome. can't wait to replay on the hardest difficulty on NG+. next in my list would be to finish GoTsushima

Tacoboto321d ago

Ghost was fantastic especially after Iki Island and the PS5 upgrade. 100%'d that, Horizon Forbidden West (not ZD), GoW (not yet Ragnarok), Spider-Man, and R&C: Rift Apart.

Each one absolutely worth it.

Aloymetal321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

100% I would like to add to you list RDR2, amazing as well and the perks from getting the Legend Of The East outfit is awesome.
Sekiro as well, have to play twice to get it but it's worth it!

Demetrius321d ago

I agree I'm on my 2nd playthroughs of both horizon forbidden West(zero dawn I played also) ghost of Tsushima except I'm replaying it on PS5 this time, the iki island expansion is amazing

ClayRules2012321d ago

Yeah, GoT was already an AMAZING game on PS4, but playing it on PS5, along with that expansion, just even better.

Elda321d ago

I just started my copy of GOW:R, enjoying it so far.

DefenderOfDoom2320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

Okay the title of article should be top 10 , 3rd person games to complete 100 percent. Nine 3rd person games and 1 racing game on this list .
