REMOTE BATARANG: When Batman makes a ranged combat attack he may draw lines of fire from any one square within range and line of fire, but the target must be within range of Batman.

Can Batman use Running Shot with this special attack power? I don't think he can beacuse RS says give the character a ranged combat action as a free action. Batman's special attack power is a ranged combat attack...

RUNNING SHOT Give this character a power action; halve its speed value for the action. Move this character up to its speed value and it may be given a ranged combat action as a free action.

Does this mean Batman would have to be standing in the square he started his action in to be able to use this power (basically standing there)? Or can he use his special attack power with his Running Shot?

All ranged combat actions result in a ranged combat attack and Remote Batarang activates when a ranged attack happens, so, yes, you can use the two together.

That doesn't suck lol. Thanks again!

I think his Remote Batarang should have IT. That's how it is in the game anyways. Just a thought

What would you have them ignore?

Blocking, Elevated, and/or Hindering. Since the game allows you to go up and down, through small spaces, and corners. I'm talking about the B:AO game

I think I am missing something. Are you referencing a separate game(not heroclix)?

Either way, ignoring blocking would be a little too good and not very intuitive since there should be no reason to pass a solid batarang thru a wall or other solid material. Elevated can be gotten around within the confines of lof which is already altered by this power. Hindering is tough because the batarang can pass thru hindering fine but I'm not sure it should allow Batman to see someone in stealth. They are pretty flexible as is and too much more would make them more like a mystical type of weapon rather than a device created by a man, even if that man is The Batman.

He would be referring to the Batman: Arkham Origins game in which the Batman click in question represents.

Sorry still not sure I understand. Is this an electronic game? Forgive me I am old and unhip.

Yup, Batman: Arkham Origins is the 3rd game in what is so far a 3 part series that you can play on the Playstation or Xbox. Most of or all of the figures in the Batman: Arkham Origins set represent the characters in the game.

I agree, that would be a lot more accurate for the figure. I do understand why they didn't do, it would make him a bit crazy for his point cost.

They did something similar with Captain Boomerang

BOOMERANG'S PATH: Give Captain Boomerang a power action and choose up to 6 different squares within line of fire (ignoring characters for this purpose.) Each square must be different, adjacent to the previously chosen square, and the first and last squares chosen must be adjacent to this character. Make a ranged combat attack and compare the result to each opposing character occupying a chosen square. Each character hit this way is dealt 2 damage. This attack does not target.

It would be different for Batman, because he wouldn't necessarily be looking to get those Batarangs back.

I would be better with the ability for him not to have line of site to the target, allowing him to throw it around corners.

I am sure that would increase the cost though.

He doesn't need line of fire to the target just the square he is using for his new line of fire, his target just needs to be in range. This is specifically for going around corners mostly.

C=clear
W=wall
B=Batman
X=target

As long as batman can see a square of clear terrain that has lof to his target and his target is in range, it is all good.

Same for elevated. Batman has lof to a square that has lof to his target so as long as the target is within range it's all good.

Thanks I think I saw a commercial for this but wasn't really tuned in. Plus todays graphics are so good I wasn't sure if it was a video game commercial or a cartoon.
