One thing we will admit though, is that Batman’s next-gen appearance is most certainly going to need to bring ambitious new mechanics and ideas to the series – if we don’t get to drive the Batmobile around town, we’ll be crushed.

I learned that the hardest way possible when I blank-mindedly drooled all over my keyboard after reading a text that said “Wanna review Batman?” I wish I could say that it was regular drool, but it wasn’t. Nope, this drool was one of excitement as I am a Batman fan, and being able to review the latest game had me somewhat excited.  That and whole bags of Cheetos and half a case of Pepsi tend to create more of a syrupy substance than regular saliva. Regardless, I accepted my next review assignment without thinking twice.","2025-01-15T13:22:28.536266-05:00",{"id":238,"logo":251,"name":252,"slug":253,"tags":133,"bluesky":32,"twitter":254,"youtube":255,"facebook":254,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":256,"website_url":257,"score_format":233,"average_score":258,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":259,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":260,"reviews_editor_email":259,"editor_in_chief_email":259,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcog-connected-logo.png","COGConnected","cogconnected","COGconnected","GameCanadian","COGconnected is your source for PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, Nintendo Switch video games with News, Reviews, Videos, Cosplays and Top Lists.","https:\u002F\u002Fcogconnected.com",77,"trevor@cogconnected.com","Canada",{"id":262,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":263,"author":264,"original_score":270,"normalized_score":124,"review_url":271,"review_date":272,"summary":32,"created_at":273,"updated_at":273,"author_id":265,"last_edited_at":273,"outlet":274},135148,143,{"id":265,"bio":26,"name":266,"avg_score":267,"outlet_id":26,"created_at":268,"profile_id":26,"updated_at":269,"claim_token":26,"article_count":124,"claimed_by_user_id":26},11099,"Andrew Day",75.57142857142857,"2025-04-25T12:29:52.258123-04:00","2025-05-19T21:52:26.280478-04:00","7.0","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.capsulecomputers.com.au\u002F2013\u002F10\u002Fbatman-arkham-origins-review\u002F","2013-10-29","2025-04-25T13:38:02.607612-04:00",{"id":263,"logo":275,"name":276,"slug":277,"tags":26,"bluesky":278,"twitter":279,"youtube":26,"facebook":280,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":281,"website_url":282,"score_format":45,"average_score":209,"default_timezone":47,"last_review_date":26,"stats_updated_at":48,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":17,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":17,"published_reviews_count":17},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcapsule-computers-logo.jpg","Capsule Computers","capsule-computers","@capsulecomputers.bsky.social","@capsulecomputer","CapsuleComputers","Capsule Computers is a global independent media site that aims to be the best in delivering news about video games, entertainment, pop culture and anime.
