Selina, Harley and Two-Face screenshots from the upcoming Arkham City game

[espanolbot]

Mild warning, their version of Two-Face is a homage to the Dark Knight version
From what I can gather, after the events of the previous game, Warden Sharp got the credit for Batman defeating the Joker and used it as a platform to get elected Mayor of Gotham.

Due to the destruction of both Blackgate prison and Arkham Asylum during the previous storyline, the new Mayor has decided to move the patients and criminals into a walled off and heavily guarded slum of the city, where they'd presumably be out of sight and out of mind for the Norms.

Anyways, Selina, Harvey, Talia (played by Stana Katic )and Mr Freeze (played by 'Pinky and the Brain' and 'Futurama' actor Maurice LaMarche) have all been confirmed to be appearing, but in the teaser trailer they also hinted at the Penguin and Black Mask appearing.

Anyway, here are some pictures, with some more behind the link,

Presumably Selina is overheating in her costume, and undid her top to let her skin breathe.

EDIT: Just found this picture of Arkham City Harley, it's kinda big though, so it's a thumbnail,


For legality, here's a Darwyn Cooke picature of Selina,


Which is comparision to Adam Hughes', in which she never has her top done up, even though she never ran around with it open in the actual issues,

I heard Robin will be in the game..though it seems that signs are pointing toward Dick as the one with the R on his chest, I personally wish to see Damian. No I'm not taking that back.

[bariman]

That would kind of be weird. I know it' s a different continuity and all, but they had Barbara as Oracle in the first game, so having Dick still be Robin just seems strange.

[nezchan]

I am utterly in love with that Darwin Cooke drawing.

[darkknightjrk]

God, I will kill anyone if I could be even half as good as Cooke--and I'm not even sure how much hyperbole that is.

[leorising]

Yes, it really is nice.

[retro_nouveau]

Motto! Bad Selina. You just march right back where you found that! XD

[akodo_rokku]

Biker Harley is super hot.

She's got tatts!

[espanolbot]

Bigger pic of her,

[proteus_lives]

Very Motto.

[darkknightjrk]

Yeah, I can see biker--and it fits her having a special costume with her in these extenuating circumstances, like in the last game where she was the "Head Nurse" in Joker's Arkham, and now in Arkham City.

Honestly, my first thought, because of the make-up making the mask was Pris from Blade Runner.

[morgana006]

Listen, Arkham Asylum. I love you. I really do. Didn't I go and solve all the Riddler clues and everything?

But your attempts at appealing to the male fanbase by hypersexualizing all the female characters in a way that's more blatant than the comics' (which is saying something) is really not cool.

[jetblack927]

Duly noted...now excuse me as I get lost in Harley's pigtails...

Hubba, Hubba, Hubba!

[yaseen101]

"Talia (played by Stana Katic )"

:is excited:

Though I think she would be a better fit for either Selina or Barbara Gordon but I'll take what I get.

Also, Stana Katic voicing a sexy, bond-girl/seductress type; Rick Castle's dream come true!

[rdfox]

Given that they had Adrienne Barbeau voice Dr. Whistler in the first game, I'd be willing to bet we're gonna get one more big of DCAU Nostalgia in the casting for Selina. (Not that I mind; Barbeau's voice is *still* the perfect Catwoman, IMO.)

[turtlefu]

Can we please have Selina zip up? Even just a little bit?

[rdfox]

Given that it's Jim Lee behind the art direction, and Ivy didn't have the same mutations as the other Titan-enhanced folks did largely because he didn't want to draw her that horribly disfigured... I'm gonna say "no."

Either that, or she's moonlighting as Felicia Hardy's stunt double.

[sleepymax]

I'm a huge gamer and these games look fun to play but the art style is so damn ugly(IMO).

[darkknightjrk]

"Presumably Selina is overheating in her costume, and undid her top to let her skin breathe."

I'd also presume that Harvey knocked her out in order to kidnap her and...hey, it gets lonely for Harvey in Arkham Asylum. :(

But the reason I'm not a huge fan of the cleavage thing is not because of hyper-sexualization of whatever--Selina is a character that should just bleed sexiness--but because she's just too much of a tease to show them off to just ANYBODY. Bruce would probably have to keep up with her for at least half of Gotham and possibly take what she stole when she didn't notice before she would zip it down that low to throw him off.

[thehefner]

Harvey having his entire left side be horribly burned should bother me, but eh, it's Dini and that's the way it was done on B:TAS, so I'll accept it. So they're going with TDK style burning and suit, just all over? Looks raw and painful. Also, it looks like he hasn't taken off his suit at all since it was burned along with him.

[sleepymax]

I always hated the half-burnt look. I'm pretty sure that's how he looked in one of Nightwing's last stories.

[neev]

Ugh, what is this leather clad bullshit? How does this make ANY sense for Harley? How was a form-fitting body suit NOT revealing enough? I don't even -

I'm not happy about Selina's tits either but at least it's more or less in character.

[punishermax]

The games have a strange sort of art style.

See the cheesecake stuff is bad, yeah, but shit, all the dudes are muscled as all hell and like 99% have their shirts off. So, ya know, equal opportunity.

[tacobob]

I'd love to see this with mulitplayer. Play as Bats..or Cats..Or Robin..s.Team up!

[nickfury90]

You can dress however you like Harley; as long as you still sound like B:TAS version, I will love you.

And I also agree that the burnt suit thing is silly and a bit on the nose with the visual metaphor, but Two-Face is a silly concept anyway. Anybody with THAT kind of burns/scars should be D-E-A-D.

[thehefner]

Depends on the version of Two-Face. I've seen some actual acid burn victims, and let me tell you, it's horrifying how badly one can be scarred and survive.

[chipsnopotatoes]

Go Selina! If you've got it, flaunt it!

Love that Adam Hughes cover.

[silverzeo]

KNEW I! It's going to be a grab and jail them game!

[starwolf_oakley]

No word if Richard Moll is voicing Two-Face?

[thehefner]

Fingers so crossed that they'll get him.

[jedd_the_jedi]

Saw these in magazine scans a while back. I like Two-Face's look, Catwoman's outfit looks nice (more realistic than a shiny catsuit) and come on, these are the people who gave us Harley's S&M nurse getup in the first game - Catwoman zip up her top? Neva! Besides, this was done in the Mortal Kombat vs DCU game too. As for Harley's new goth punk look, I think it's very close to Amanda Evert in Tomb Raider Legend. http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/amandaevert.png
It just might work tho.

[darkblade]

"Besides, this was done in the Mortal Kombat vs DCU game too."

That game should not be used as the standard of anything.

[nonners]

I like it so far!

Although I hope we see pictures of Talia soon. And I hope she's awesome, kickass Talia, not brainwashed crazy Talia.

I can dream, okay!
