But I think because DC know that we&rsquo;re huge fans of Batman and the way that everything is done is treated with total respect to the source material, that there&rsquo;s just never been an issue with any of those things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What we&rsquo;re doing is something that just totally fits in the universe, it totally makes sense for the characters, and that&rsquo;s why I think they allow us the freedom to do the things we do in the story.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But Rocksteady&#8230; why? WHYYY? Whatever the reasons, I think this one&rsquo;s definitely going down as my most shocking game ending ever.<\/p>\n<p>Now I just wish my friends would hurry up and finish it, so we can all go &ldquo;BUT WHYYY&rdquo; to each other.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/19436-Rocksteady-discusses-quot-big-events-quot-in-Arkham-City\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Forum Link\"><strong>Rocksteady discusses &#8220;big events&#8221; in Arkham City<\/strong><\/a> &lt;&lt; Comments and views<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And how they got away with it; tactfully avoid spoilers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":167,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15020"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15020\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
