Arkham City

Robin...? Do my eyes fool me, or I read corectly? Robin...?

I believe the word I'm looking for is... @#$%$^#@$%

At the moment, Two Face, Mr Freeze and Talia Al Ghul are confirmed.

There are a "lot of villains".

Mr Freeze will be "somewhat sympathetic".

The game will be darker than the first.

Conroy compared it to "Batman Beyond - Return of The Joker".

Of note, that story featured The Joker torturing Robin, who is said to feature in the game as well. Robin featuring in that capacity, where Batman has to rescue him, would be fine.

I'm sure if the creators read anything from message boards (and I'm sure they do, they got the first game nearly perfectly), they'll know to use Robin seriously. The first game was awesome and particularily due to the dark tone, a silly Burt Ward/Chris O'Donnell robin would have ruined it. Robin can definitely be done dark as well, we just haven't seen it on screen aside from some brief scenes in batman forever. He's handled well in the animated show isn't he? Seems they used that as quite a bit of inspiration.


I'm just under halfway through the first game (beat Bane, played some arkham levels) and thoroughly enjoying it.

Potential titles have been revealed in WB domain registrations. It also seems like we're going to get some viral sites at some stage about Quincy Sharp running for Mayor, and Bruce Wayne, who apparently is missing.

Mmm, nice stuff, the names are a little weak tho, but anyway, it seems as tho this will be as awesome as the first, but I just hope we get something new

[The Dark Knight]

Arkham City gets my vote, because from what we've heard, that's exactly what the situation is. It's simple and straight to the point. And Arkham Asylum/Arkham City has nice flow on consistency.

I can't wait for this game...I have played AA to death - i need new challenges!

Nah, now thats a kick in the crotch, even without it I've only now gotten all the Riddles, so yea, thats sucks a bit, but I just want something new, anything, like a new trailer, pics, something

I understand where the art director is coming from. I like the detective mode and I?m using it most of the time. It tells you where the enemies are, where to place explosive gel and rip down ceilings. But at the same time, I hate using it. This blue hue is covering the beautiful visuals, and it?s all I?m ever looking at. But as soon as I revert to normal vision mode, I?m habitually switching it back. The game makes it pretty much essential to use the detective mode, especially the first play through ? because you want to see everything that?s hidden. You want the complete experience. For the sequel, there has to some way to balance the two.
