A sister? Huh, the woman from the initial Red Robin storyline is revealled then presumably.

And the trailer,

Looks sweet, though I hope that they allow the game to continue as a sandbox type deal once the storyline has finished, as this looks like a good environment to play in just on a crime by crime basis.

CANNOT WAIT :D

I still bet that the game is chock full of weak boss encounters with the big Batman villains, and that Dini will pretty much turn Harley into a chump yet again, despite the footage showing her clobbering Batman.

Those were seriously my big issues with the last game - That the boss encounters stank - especially the finale - and that the villains, save Joker, were so broad that they might as well have been written by someone who just started reading any of the Bat-series. Poison Ivy in particular just lost anything cool that the animated series had given her, and was just as dumb as the Batman and Robin movie version.

I'm still waiting to find out who though that a supervillian gehtto was a good idea and how that got passed by the city council and didn't get overturned as unconstitutional (not to mention suicidal) by the State or Federal governments.

Glad Jason isn't wearing his vibrator helmet on the Gates of Gotham cover. Is that Cass at ten o'clock?

[starwolf_oakley]

Okay, that *sounds* like Richard Moll as Two-Face, but I can't say I'm positive. IMDB says David Kaye is voicing Two-Face, but only as a rumor, and doesn't say who is voicing Catwoman.

Batman has had the "I help create these lunatics" thought at least once, during the "Turning Points" miniseries. The issue set after "Killing Joke" and "Death in the Family" had Batman concerned about a serial killer called the Garbage Man. Batman was worried that if he caught him directly, the Garbage Man would fixate on him like everyone else in Arkham. Commissioner Gordon points out this guy was already a monster, being a serial killer and all.

I sincerely hope that Catwoman will be more than a damsel in distress with embarrassing "sexy" lines.

[filkertom]

I just want to know if they're going to finish Batman's line in the game. You know:

"There's nothing wrong with you... that I can't fix with my own two hands."

[darkness_p]

Wow, the "whole family" is in the Gates of Gotham cover. If the art wasn't amazing already, this alone would make it wonderful . Looking forward to this.

[blackruzsa]

For a second there, Ra's' sister looked like an intensely pretty man.

You can imagine my disappointment when I read the summary.

[jeyl]

Aww. And when they said the new trailer was going to show footage of Catwoman, the last thing I wanted to see is Catwoman playing the role of damsel in distress. I can't wait to see what horrible fate Christopher Nolan will bestow upon her.

[speedingtortoise]

Did anyone else find the music a little . . . odd for this trailer?

In my little old opinion it didn't work well with batman. But that's just me.

[retro_nouveau]

That window is almost perfect. Just delete Huntress & the Demon Spawn and add Clark & Diana. Ok, I solemnly promise from this point forward to never speak ill of Damian again.

[big_daddy_d]

Looking forward to this more and more and just like when Arkham Asylum came out, I shall get the collector's edition as it'll be very much worth it. I do hope there's Robin in this one though. If not, then Nightwing. Maybe as a DLC deal, who knows. Still, looks better than the first one and this time you have a whole city to play in. Allows for more movement as well as more areas to explore.

Also, looove Harley's look in this one. I do hope the boss battles are better. Some in the first game made sense, like the Scarecrow fights, Bane fight, Poison Ivy fight. I was hoping for a one on one with the Joker as an endgame but yea. I'm hoping to mix it up with some of Bat's rogues in this one instead of always dealing with just..mindgames and what have you.

One more thing, wonder if Riddler is in this one. I honestly had fun solving all his riddles, so wouldn't mind doing that again, or something similar.

[aaron_bourque]

Batman can now fly? I can only assume, if the series stretches to three installments, he'll be able to breath in space in the next one, but how to top that?

[psychopathicus_rex]

The trailer looks pretty cool, I guess, but I can see one basic mistake they've made already - the 'Heads or tails' line sounds pretty cool, I'll grant you that, but it makes no sense, since his coin is two-headed. There IS no 'tails'.
Also, question - I can identify everyone else in that 'wheel o' Bat-folk', but who's the blonde guy?

[omnipotent]

I saw the trailer earlier, and I think I'll be picking it up.

My only gripe (and I had this problem with the last game, too) is that, for some reason, Batman's character model looks VERY stiff to me. But that's not really enough to keep me from enjoying the game.

[baihu]

Aw, I was kinda hoping for black Harvey from BTAS. No particular reason other than I want more variety in my villains, plus I'm just waaaay more used to him with that look since BTAS was my main exposure to Batman.

Still not liking new Harley. Her 'naughty nurse' thing made sense in Arkham. I don't understand what all... THAT is suppose to be now.

[mullon]

Grey DeLisle as Catwoman.

All of my money! Take all of my money! All of my money!
