telltale batman the enemy within episode 4 release date

There have been many moments in both seasons where you’ve felt sorry for him, and even to the point where you’d call John a friend. Yes, it’s pretty obvious he’s going to end up becoming The Joker, but up until What Ails You, he hasn’t actually embraced the darkness. The best thing about this episode, however, is John Doe.

You kind of feel bad, and it’s something I’ve never really felt before – at least, not whilst playing Telltale’s Batman. The writing, and the decisions you get to choose from give their interactions emotional weight, and it isn’t until late into the episode you start to question your actions and their affect on your trusty butler. We all know that Alfred has been there for Bruce through thick and thin, but all of his loyalty and help to his illegitimate son takes its toll in a moving and unfortunate way. Amanda Waller has always tried to bend the rules to get what she wants, but when her true intentions are revealed, everything gets thrown into the air once more.Īnother story thread that reached deep into the soul was between Bruce Wayne and Alfred. It’s great how Telltale has shaken up the two side of good and bad, and I was questioning both throughout. The intentions of Waller and her cronies take more of a front seat, and the Agency end up showing off their darker side. We see what’s really going through their heads and understand something we may not have ever thought of: what if these villains don’t actually enjoy embracing their madness, and their afflictions? Mr Freeze shines more so than he has done so far, with a great chat between himself and the bat. In “What Ails You”, we finally get to see the final push into madness for John, new heroes being born, and old foes showing a side we’ve never really questioned. Throw in one of the best selections of supporting heroes and villains, and you’ve got one hell of a story.

While Batman has been a complex and troubled individual this season, it is their relationship that’s made the biggest impact. John Doe and Harley’s relationship is a trainwreck, but it is the soon-to-be clown prince of crime who is the submissive, the insecure – the puddin’. This season of Telltale’s Batman has been a joyous accomplishment of messing with a trusted formula and turning it on it’s head in all the right ways.
