@unclejimmy Batman going through dark times is not a bad concept.
Such a setup works in comics, because they’ve got the time to sell the drama (all the years before the ‘dark times’).

It doesn’t quite work in the Nolan movies, because the world is ‘dark’ enough in the first of the trilogy, which means he doesn’t really get to fly high enough for a fall to matter. I’d even argue that he lacks the reason for his ‘no killing’ restriction in the first one.

Another cartoon series needs mentioning : Batman:brave and the bold

I really liked this show. I think it’s because it is so over-the-top and it knows what it is, which makes it work.
The MCU lacks the kind of ‘normal’ that allows us to see the team as the *super* heroes that they’re supposed to be, which practically Worfs them ( https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWorfEffect )

@doctorether stop showing us how cool WarCry is … I might have to buy into that system and add yet another box of plastic to my mountain of plastic men.
nah, just kidding. It is good to see that GW has something other than 40K and AoS.
I do hope they’ve got stuff to add to the game by next year, because they might run out of steam like they sort of did with Killteam and Necromunda.
