If this game is supposed to take place in the 70's, The typewriters & cop cars I understannd, But the Batcomputer? Barbara Having a laptop & or tablet with voice chat?

I mean Come On people! < > Showing 1-15 of 32 comments Lanzagranadas View Profile View Posts 8 May, 2014 @ 9:00pm Who said this game takes place in the 70s? The Arkhamverse takes place in a no-year reality, and the same happens with many Batman stuff, comics, etc. #1 Buck View Profile View Posts 8 May, 2014 @ 9:06pm 70's?!?No clue where you got that idea from, but, Erhm, no. It's set in current times, but the exact years are not specified. All we know is that AO takes place approx 2 years into Batman's Career, and about 5 years before AA, then AC about a year after that, and AK approx a year after that.

In the comics, Batman post "Crisis on Infinite Earths" has an origin story set roughly in the early 80's. But since the more recent reboot, Batman started crime fighting roughly around 15-20 years ago.Game takes a different timeline altogether. #3 THEADLER View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 3:05pm

Actually, They Decided to scratch that Idea. Batman is in his twentys in this game. IN AA & AC He's in his fourties....AO Takes place 20 years before. Also, This Game is non-canon in the Arkhamverse. #5 Buck View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 6:37pm

I don't know where you got any of this information, but is very much not true. The general timeline as I stated it is VERY well documented.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Arkham_Origins" the game's main storyline is set five years before that of 2009's Batman: Arkham Asylum and follows a younger, less-refined Batman"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Arkham_City"The events of Arkham City are set one year after Batman: Arkham Asylum"http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/09/06/get-your-batman-arkham-city-questions-answered"Batman: Arkham City takes place around a year after the events of Arkham Asylum"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Arkham#Batman:_Arkham_Origins_.282013.29"Batman: Arkham Origins, a prequel set years before Arkham Asylum""Batman: Arkham Knight, a sequel set one year after Arkham City""Batman: Arkham City, set a year after the events of Arkham Asylum"

Originally posted by Refusenik:The time period isn't relevant since the batman exists in a comic book universe.

we're not talking about the comic universe, which exists on a sliding scale (same as with Marvel), we're talking about the Arkham Game Series.

Also with the dates that is 70s, I doubt any of the cops cleans the buildings. #7 Eli Parker View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 6:45pm

Somebody needs to fix the wiki, AC Stories which is in Batman Arkham City states that the events of Arkham Aslyum was 18 months ago. #8 Buck View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 6:46pm

ok fine, so a year and a half then. That is indeed ~AROUND~ a year!

It is likely that some of those things are intentionally anachronstic to give you, the player/audience, the sense that you are "in" the past, so to speak."Caprica", the short lived BattleStar Galatica prequel series used alot of 50's ish styles to acheive this effect. So did the Fallout Series. Last edited by Buck; 9 May, 2014 @ 6:48pm #9 Eli Parker View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 6:49pm

But 6 months makes a difference within the Arkhamverse timeline. Because those 6 months could make AK a Year 10 or a Year 9 tale. Again I'm looking at the timeline, because I rather see DC create these other Superheroes come after Arkham Knight within the timeline. #10 Buck View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 7:00pm

No, it really doesn't, and no, it doesn't change anything else in the scale beacuse it's already established.The developers are of course, free to retroactively change anything they see fit, but the scale as currently known does not suddenly change because you feel like it should. #11 GhxstSong View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 7:00pm Eiether way AO Is NOT Cannon. Rocksteady said it themselves. AO is WB Montreal's thing. Not Cannon With Rocksteady. Also, 20 Years. #12 Eli Parker View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 7:05pm @Buck - The Years I'm using are based on 5 years between AO and AA. Also 18 months passed between AA and AC. RS said about a year between AC and AK, but I'm going to wait till the game comes out to confirm it. @Robin - AO is canon, but RS isn't using anything from AO in AK. Also the fans don't know how many years past between AO and AA. I like the 5 yrs as it allows Batman it have it's own thing before godtier Superheroes shows up in the Arkhamverse. #13 Lanzagranadas View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 9:08pm Actually, the only canon is the comicbook universe, and still it changes from time to time, but if you want to make the Arkhamverse fit into the canon then Asylum is somewhere between KnightsEnd and Contagion, and Arkham City is somewhere after No Man´s Land and before Officer Down.Origins is just impossible to fit into the comicbook canon for several reasons, but I see no reason to not take it as part of the "Arkhamverse canon", as it doesn´t contradict anything we´ve seen in Asylum or City. #14 Lac3y View Profile View Posts 9 May, 2014 @ 10:27pm

Link to where they said that? I feel my skepticism is justified because your previous post was just a load of made-up nonsense.
