Really Lackluster

I was glad to finally see a Video Game related flash that wasn't about Skyrim or Mincraft, rather on one of my favorite games of last year. But unfortunately I found this to be severely lacking in many areas.

The star of the show; the comedy, the jokes weren't funny. Some observational humor there and random silly humor here, all of which lacked a good enough punchline to make me laugh or even smirk. I felt you had a good idea and some possible potential with the Counter Icon joke, but it came by as quickly as it was brought up. And randomness could be funny if the pacing and delivery does a good job, but the whole Batman doing weird faces and staring at the Thug as he drews just felt awkward and weird. There's definitely potential for good jokes with a Batman theme, but I don't believe you guys got it. You've got the right ideas, but it's just not working quite yet.

The animation as everyone has stated isn't amazing, but it gets the job done. I felt some more inbetweens would've made everything look a lot smoother and some more heads for the two thugs talking at the beginning to make it look more natural. But whatevs. The voice acting is very slipshop; the voices are there and I can sense what they were going for, but they sounded very unenthusiastic. It sounded like a dude trying to sound like a thug, not an actual thug. And in general he needed more emotion, which perhaps would've made the writing more funny if he did.

As your first submission together I gotta say it's a very poor looking product, but you gotta start somewhere. There only seems to be a few of us who dislikes this, but hopefully that's enough to motivate you guys to try to improve your writing and animation. Good luck to any future projects.

Side note; about the people so far who gave you low scores and how you responded to them. Sure they were blunt in their opinion and their jab at your movie, but that doesn't mean you guys gotta attack them right back. Everyone is welcomed to their own opinions. Right?

I'm Sorry..

...but I honestly don't see the appeal in this.

Now I have no idea about Arkham City (one of the games that I have yet to play). But I honestly think that this could have been better.

The humor felt more forced or something. I mean, it was too random for my taste. Now I don't mind some random humor, but it does usually feel out of place. Sure, making a joke about the game itself is cliche unless cleverly written. But either way, some of the facial expressions and actions could have been done without.

I also felt the animation was sub-par or was rushed a bit. It looks as if you either didn't use enough frames or the actions went too fast.

The voice acting was terrible. The clown just sounded annoying and that Batman impression just sounded horrible.

Overall, I just couldn't find anything hilarious about this but only one or two things. But even those I just giggled a tiny bit. Try going a little less random next time.

great parody

i`ve played the game myself and you guys got a great idea of how a randomer version of he game. definitely should make more of these

S0 good

Awesome the jokes and the things Batman does while he waits for the map.
He had Batcrayons but they were all black.... Hilarious

Well...

It was very good for your first submission! If you do not lose your string I think that you will be able to climb very high here on newgrounds ;) But is it ok that I liked easter egg more? :D (Even when I am exluding topic)
