I still love it. I still have more fun in that City than I ever have in World of Warcraft, or elsewhere. It’s just so instant, so immediately satisfying. A new power isn’t just a slightly better chopping action, but the ability to fly. Or to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Or to call up purple tentacles from another dimension to bind the enemy to the spot. How can you not love that? It’s cartoon, it’s comic, it’s the gaming form of those brightly coloured words that burst from Batman’s TV fighting. But it’s also a world that, I suspect, has had its day.
Not bloody yet it hasn’t.
