A different kind of experience, but I prefer waiting a few weeks honestly. Not if it's as long as for TWAU Episode 2 and TftB Episode 2 and … more3, but if it's just a few weeks like with Batman, then it adds to the experience. Similar to a TV show were you have to wait for the next Episode, but you don't really mind.
The only thing I have to wonder is, if Oz figures it out...what's to stop him from outing Bruce Wayne as Batman? He's petty and bitter enough to do it.

Yeah I was ready to bet my car he was going to pull that move against Batman, I could not believe it amounted to nothing. It's impossible for him not to know as you say, or at the very least that Bruce Wayne is funding Batman.
If you paid attention there is a moment where Penguin "remembers" if you beat him up or left it at that, that leads to believe he will appear in some form in Ep5. I hope we will be able to disclose him that little detail then.
I think he is beyond redemption anyway so he might as well not know who Batman is.
Perhaps Vicki knows as well and has made sure Oz's Lips are sealed on the manner.
Guess we'll have to wait to see what the Children of Arkhams plans truly are in episode 5.

If there is a potential second season, then the Wayne Enterprises and Selina sub plots could theoretically get left open-ended, but they can't be ignored in the finale. I've never been one to get outraged over finales like this, especially if there's a chance of a sequel, but I agree that there's every chance it could leave a sour taste in some mouths. A scenario like Bruce leaving behind his ruined legacy to find Selina after she has left Gotham would be a neat little cliffhanger, in my opinion, to close out the season. I'm confident that they'll bring the major threads to a satisfying end though.
Plans change when they have to. Episode 4 barely moved the needle, there are way too many loose ends to tie (Lady Arkham, Penguin or Harvey,… more Bruce reclaiming Wayne Enterprises, Selina/Catwoman's agenda and/or romance, Joker obviously has a tiny part to play in all this).
I don't have enough faith in Telltale to believe they will be able to tie all this up with poise.
This will be ugly and crudely disappointing for some.
Strange to have the commissioner stepping in this LATE in the story...
hope he isn't overlooked by "OH Gordon's commissioner now."
I want to see why this commissioner is 'bad' per say and needs to be replaced besides just disliking Batman, perhaps he's not even bad at all... want to see how Telltale is able to do this plotline given the limited time of the episode.
If not I do hope they save it for Season 2.
Given that Telltale are changing a lot and sort of selling the series on veering away from what we're used to seeing in a Batman story, do they have to have him redeem himself in the public eye? That's how it always happens. It'd be cool if they don't just revert back to a status quo, and leave him with a tainted image. Apart from the money situation, it could given him the chance to put most of his attention toward his Batman work, given that nobody expects "billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne" to be hitting the town once everybody looks twice at him for the wrong reasons.
It wasn't his image that was tarnished. Nobody seems to suspect that Bruce himself is crooked (which is surprising as that would be where my… more mind would go upon finding out the supposedly upright Thomas was shady) so he just needs to keep distancing himself from his father and they'll get over it.
Is he a credible source, though? What if Bruce accused Montoya? He just has to act like it's not a big deal because if he's not Batman it wouldn't be. Maybe stage losing a fight.
The only thing I have to wonder is, if Oz figures it out...what's to stop him from outing Bruce Wayne as Batman? He's petty and bitter enough to do it.
Those notifications are often meaningless, but in this specific case, I feel that he will show up again. Oz isn't stupid, and if he knew, he'd definitely divulge that knowledge in that flashy, dickish manner of his. Of course, he could have a reason for keeping quiet, but the scene itself never gave me such an idea, especially with the way he brought up Bruce during the conversation. I just find it difficult to believe that he's still in the dark with regards to Batman's identity. I guess at the least he could believe that Batman was only affiliated with Bruce Wayne. But I mean, come on man, you've located a super secret room filled with super secret Batman equipment hidden within Bruce Wayne's office. Who do you think Batman is?!? Some interesting perspectives were proposed in that one thread from the other day, so I suppose I could overlook him being seemingly clueless. Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't.
I've been hoping that we visit whoever it was that we took down in episode four in the respective locations we sent them. Encountering Oz in prison or visiting Harvey at Arkham/Blackgate could make for neat little final farewell to their characters, and perhaps some options regarding Batman's identity could pop up in these hypothetical scenarios.

It was nice being able to jump into each episode without having to excruciatingly wait for the various cliffhangers to be resolved, but I did unfortunately get some of the twists spoiled on me as a result of me waiting this long. I didn't know anything too specific, but it was still a bit irritating.
I believe Vicki would defiantly believe him giving if she's seen the lab herself. Oz seems like he MAY get the publics attention because of his position on Wayne Enterprise and Bruce's assault on him. He could say, if Batman's violent, that Bruce's attack was similar to Batman's MO.
Then again they could just see it as Oswald just being upset with Bruce so it can go either way. Remember Oz completely wiped out his criminal history and this is to remain unless you went to Wayne Enterprises due to his recent arrest.
Also Penguin is extremely loyal to the Children of Arkham so I doubt he's disobey Lady Arkhams wishes, especially on something so big.
Wonder how it'll play out.
Is he a credible source, though? What if Bruce accused Montoya? He just has to act like it's not a big deal because if he's not Batman it wouldn't be. Maybe stage losing a fight.
This is the first Telltale games I've played as it came out. I don't remember most if the endings for the other Telltale games but I'll remember how each of the Batman ones end for just that reason. The first two episodes made you want to keep going but I wouldn't call them cliffhangers like four and especially three were but I'll remember.

Despite her gadget/claw thingymajig (probably gonna get hate for forgetting the name) being on the coffee table lol
Though yea Harvey's Anger probably blinded him to overlook that fact, still amusing though.
Well Penguin found a Batman tech lab hidden in Bruce's office and still doesn't seemt know Bruce is Batman.... they don't make villains like they used to anymore

I'm hoping he'll stick around and be a major character for season 2. They seem to be planning something with him. There must be a reason they made a brand new character instead of just using Commissioner Loeb.

I would not be surprised if Gordon is promoted at the end of Ep5. Grogan is likely corrupt and holds back the GCPD.
Gordon represents the side of Gotham which has not given up, which continues to fight and stands fierce no matter how strong the wind is.
He is a really beautiful character. Telltale deserves praise for his rendition.

Thanks for the heads up; I'll add this to the OP. With this and the Batman Unmasked already shooting, it does indeed look like we can count on Batman Episode 5 on the 13th, more or less. I wonder if we'll get an early trailer at the Game Awards this Thursday? I doubt so, with the Walking Dead preview and the assumed Marvel reveal, but it would be icing on the cake for Telltale fans.
Clearly Game Awards is going to be Walking Dead, Marvel, The Batman trailer, AND Wolf season 2! Might as well call it The Telltale Awards and move it to Feb 17th amirit?!

So it's the 28th and they've finished the episode, I think they can perfect it in two weeks so I'm pretty sure its the 13th (Unfortunately It's my week of exams, so I'll have to wait until that Friday.

I'm sure the game wouldn't be released if things were moving around too slowly, but I was kind of expecting things to be pushed to January. (Despite Telltale's wishes to conclude things before 2017) It's definitely not a problem though! Ugh, I'm so excited to see this conclusion, although I really don't want things to end. There are so many loose ends to tie up in such a short period of time, but I believe that this can be a killer finale. Um, here's a YouTube comment that has killed me every time for the past few days to celebrate?
Usually, I can decipher YouTube comments, but I have no idea what the first guy was going for. The "pink ass bitches" in the bottom comment was a nice touch. I'm easily entertained.

I'm a little worried about the early December date. I really want to be grateful, but episode 4's glitchy save files caused several occurrences where the game flat-out ignored my decisions in previous chapters. These problems could easily carry over into "City of Light." An earlier release date could also mean a rushed product. I'm not trying to be pessimistic here, just cautious.

December 13th has to be the release with Australia probably rating next week or later this week pretty short satisfying wait . I played my alternate save file with different choices and I accidentally clicked Wayne manor (which was my original choice) instead of Wayne enterprises and since the lack of a rewind button I have to play the episode again. They better add rewind in ANF .
I think the monthly episodes just mean that they are working on more of the episode in advance, as opposed to rewriting large portions of the episode due to fan feedback. On top of a more consistent story, it also presumably leads to more polished episodes since they aren't working as close to the deadline to incorporate last minute fan feedback.

One thing I noticed that was weird in episode 4 was that in episode 3 in my playthrough Montoya gave up her badge to Gordon but when I went to save the kids at the Vales she showed up after to take him which left me confused.
Its probably a glitch, however unlike glitches like the "Vicki and Gordon" or the "Arm Breaking" at least Montoya being there could be as simple as Gordon convinced her to not really leave the force.

There's an explanation in the Gotham news feed, actually. It's just that many people probably don't read that, and on top of that it didn't even work on PS4 (it just displayed a blank page).
The reason Montoya got reinstated is that she was acting under the influence of the drug and can't be held accountable for her actions (I know it doesn't make sense, she quit voluntarily, it's just the explanation given in the game).

Plus you can discuss theories and get hyped for release dates and such.

Exactly. I prefer that experience to just sitting down and playing it in a few days.
Agreed. It's super cool to be able to share my fears, my hopes, my expectations with this community.
