Hi all,

Well number 19 is done and this one is very different from my other levels and is definately my most technical to date.

I've tried to recreate part of the action sequence in The Dark knight movie,and then added a section where you have to track him down in his hideout,where his "masked mob" lay waiting.

Once you catch up with the joker you then have to try and defeat him.Will you get to catch him finally?

Would love to know what you guys think of it and hopefully you will enjoy it.

Many thanks.

This level was pretty short, but I thought it was entertaining. I loved the opening in the cave, it looked really good! Very atmospheric, well, except for the police sirens that were in the background due to the metropolis theme.

The recreation of the chase scene in the film was well done, although the tumbler and batpod (or sackpod) didn't look quite right. I loved the effects though, like the ropes you shoot out at the Joker and when he flips.

The city and the environment could use a bit more detail, but I liked what you had. The "Ha Ha" in shadows was very cool. I laughed out loud at the "Pow!", "Bam!" fight ballons that popped up! Nice nod to the old show there.

As a big Batman geek I was a little bothered by having Batman shoot the bazooka, simply because I thought that would kill the Joker and Batman doesn't kill. However, I see that Joker ends up alive, just stuck hanging on the side of the building. Pretty hilarious!

Anyway, it's a short level with limited gameplay, but still pretty entertaining. If nothing else, Batman fans should get a kick out of it. Nice job.

Thanks for your comments.

Yeah,theres not much I could have done with the sirens due to the theme,but I like to think that the the police are already out there trying to catch the joker as he spreads havok.

Man,I tell you,the "sackpod" took me the longest.I even printed out the batpod from the movie to try to get it right,but with the angle ive got the camera(something that needs to be there because of the chase seen) it was hard to get it exactly right,but was the best I could do.I still think it looks pretty cool though

Lol,yeah,obviously I couldnt kill the joker so I had it that he was blown up into the air and onto a building.

Glad you enjoyed it though and thats the main thing.

Really appreciate the feedback

Played through this last night and it had some cool stuff in it.

+ The bat cave looks great. Nice lighting and cool stone shapes
+ Vehicle is cool. Love the way you set it up.
+ Joker is nicely done. I like the one where his hair is waving behind him the best.
+ Semi chase/explosion scene is cool
+ Like the Sackman Signal - very creative

Had a little trouble with the hoists in multiplayer mode but other than that everything worked pretty good. It's really a dark level and although on my HD TV it looked good I'd be a bit concerned that regular TV users would have difficulty seeing some things like black hoist sponges on a black background.

Overall I liked it and had fun playing it. I gave it 4 stars! Thanks for sharing it!
