saying that the combat in the arkham game sis better than any combat system in spidey game sis plain ol' stupid.
the fighting style in the Arkham games WOULD NOT WORK IN A SPIDER-MAN GAME!!!
when BatMan fights he just moves around on the ground in one little area switching from bad guy to bad guy
first off batman games didn't invent this, it's been around for quite a friggin while now and every major Spidey game since Ultimate Spider-Man allowed you to do this.
second: Spidey is waaaaaaaay more agile than BatMan or CatWoman. if you actually play Arkham City then go back and play SM2, USM, SM3, and WOS, maybe even Shatered Dimensions and EoT, and you'll see what I mean, Spidey moves waaaay faster and doesn't just stay on the ground in one small confined space.
he moves EVERYWHERE bouncing from wall to wall, swinging off poles, flipping through the air (with some major height i might add) mixed in with web swinging, usng his super fast reflexes and spider-sense dodging most if not all of the attacks thrown his way
there is no way the combat stle in arkham games can work in spidey games, and Beenox doesn't need to look at WB to see how to do a good spidey game.. all they need to do is look at that's been done with spidey before, combine all the best elements while leaving out the crap, combine it with whatever new awesome stuff they have planned, and it will be more epic than the arkham games.
