Memorable Quotes:
- "Agatha is still a villain, and it’s refreshing to see her stay true to that. Not every character has to become an antihero." — Frank "Colin Farrell as Penguin—he just disappears into the role. It's like I'm watching a gangster flick, not a superhero show." — Squeaks "In Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, it feels like you're painting your own Warhammer character as you customize every detail." — Frank
