    I appreciate this being an actual sequel and a big improvement over the first season. Telltale continues to completely flip the Batman franchise on it's head, this time by having you work with the most unlikely allies. During episodes 2-5, I genuinely felt weird and uncomfortable. I was constantly pondering almost every choice.

    The villains and their voice acting is incredible, but I found Joker’s character arc and voice acting to standout in particular. Minor complaints are that game ends abruptly and the last chapters could have been paced a little better, but I appreciate how gray and vague Batman/Bruce Wayne can be in this season.    … Expand

    The game was pretty much at the same level as the one before this, BUT...the glitches are gone! The story was better (the first game's story was also good). I was glad to see a new take on the Joker and other villains. It's nice to see that Telltale can make the same old characters seem brand new. Again though, the super makes no sense, because whenever you need it, you are going to haveThe game was pretty much at the same level as the one before this, BUT...the glitches are gone!

Again though, the super makes no sense, because whenever you need it, you are going to have it, so it makes no sense to have a meter for it. This game is awesome, and I recommend giving it a play through AFTER you play the first game, because this game builds off of the choices you made from the first game.… Expand

    While I really enjoyed the first one, I do believe this entry took steps in the right direction for a sequel. I am not going to lie, early on I was worried that this wouldn't be as good as the first one, but as I played on I really came to enjoy it a bit more.

I am not going to lie, early on I was worried that this wouldn't be as good as the first one, but as I played on I really came to enjoy it a bit more. The gameplay aspects are improved with more involvement in the action scenes (it still is a Telltale game though, so story takes precedence over gameplay). I like the creative direction Telltale took with this plot, from infiltrating villains within (thus the name) and the development of Joker. It was really cool to see the different outcomes that Joker has based on your decisions. It really felt like I had more control over the story this time around. The dynamic between Bruce and Selena will be based on your choices on the first game (and this one as well), so depending on how you view them, your game will follow suit. There were some changes graphically to the character models that enhance them (ex. Selena looks different from Season 1 but not in a bad way). It was also really cool to see more DC characters in this game! I am really looking forward to season 3 (and how Bruce and Selena will be since I said *something very personal* to her on our last scene together as Batman and Cat Woman.… Expand

    With Batman: The Enemy Within, Telltale Games performs no miracles but delivers an epic adventure full of twists and turns, of schemes and colorful characters.

    The Enemy Within lets you shape and navigate your way through not only an entire relationship, that being the one with John Doe, but also in the direction and creation of The Joker. When you factor in that the Joker is perhaps almost as iconic as Batman, that Telltale was able to execute this progression at all, let alone imbue it with emotional weight – makes The Enemy Within essential for fans of the caped crusader.
