About Frank...

The bar scene in episode 2 had an odd moment that stuck out for me. One of the patrons, Frank, comes up to Bruce after recognizing him, and...well, he seemed more curious than insulting or abrasive. I thought that was kind of interesting, especially considering Bruce is supposed to be one of the rich assholes that working joes like Frank would probably want to pulverize, or at least harass. (In case you haven't already noticed, the real life American corporate elite aren't too popular ATM.) It makes you wonder if Bruce has a more positive reputation among blue-collar guys than we know about.

In any case, I hope Frank shows up again in another episode. I like him.

  • Frankman is Alfred's alter ego.

    But really, I'll have to play through that scene again, because - and maybe I need more coffee - I honestly don't remember specifics about their conversation. I was too eager for BatCat probably

    I accidentally bumped into Frank in my playthrough, and he became pretty hostile. My Bruce learned the hard way to never interrupt a man's billiard game.

    Frank actually seems like a really chill guy when you don't bump into him though. His jovial and curious attitude was kind of endearing, in a way. Almost as endearing as his beard and tats. Yep, Frank was a pretty cool dude.

    EDIT: I feel like Frank is the Kenneth Bone of Telltale's Batman. In just one moment, he swept the world by storm.

    Maybe that's part of his appeal. Frank isn't some colorful weirdo, like most of the characters in the game. There's nothing particularly memorable about him, aside from his tattoos and beard. He's just a nobody knocking back a few billiard balls when a "somebody" (i.e. Bruce Wayne) suddenly walks in.

  • Frank and I became best buddies, I want to recruit Frank to be my Robin.

  • That's really true, and his nondescript, forgettable presence is no doubt on purpose. Wooow. Now that you've pointed it out, I'm going to keep him mind.

  • I bumped into Frank because I wanted to look at the entire bar, so Frank and I aren't on the best of terms.

  • I didn't bump into Frank and I was surprised how cordial and polite he was. I thought he was going to insult Bruce, but he never did.

  • I think he was just a friendly guy, no more than that.

  • I was friendly af to him but sadly Selina ruined our bromance, i'll never forgive her.

  • Maybe this would have happened, who knows..

    If Frank ends up being to Batman: The Telltale Series like Jim the Interrupter is to Dragon Age Inquisition in the fandom realm, many of the staff here (cough @kessjrause) will be most pleased.

  • Is it to much to just have Frank show up and defend Bruce next time hes under fire from the press and saying that he is a real pal?

    Frank is the hero Gotham needs.

    I hope he returns in a cameo, knocking some Arkham goon upside the head with a cue stick. :)

  • There was no Frank in Episode 3. :( Come on, Telltale, you know we want to see him again. Let him show up at least in the finale!

  • Watch Frank show up, save Bruce, and get killed, and have the most heart wrenching death of any Telltale game.
