The “Nowhere to Run” trailer offers a first look at villain Firefly, while giving the rest of Batman’s rogues gallery ample face time as well.

Celebrate fighting game backgrounds with a GIF collection

Such great pixel art RudeBootie on Reddit has decided to gather a bunch of animated backgrounds from fighting games likeGarou:Mark of the WolvesandTheLast Bladefor seemingly no reason in particular.
