I like the artwork of the battle-damaged 89 suit.

My fingers and toes remained crossed about future DLC additions, namely Catwoman skins. BTAS, BR, Hush, etc.

Imagine getting the BR Catwoman skin. Man, that would be awesome.

Looks like IGN agrees. Here's their list of supervillains they want in the game:

I'm glad that my patience to get Arkham Asylum has finally paid off, because walmart is releasing for a limited time only,  a free copy of Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition with the purchase of Arkham City.  That's right, you get Arkham Asylum for free.  I got both games yesterday with my purchase of Arkham City $59.83 only at walmart.

I picked up my copy from Game today. I've downloaded the Catwoman and Robin bonus content and clocked in about 3 or 4 hours of playtime. So far it's pretty amazing.

It's especially fun spotting all the little references to classic Batman stories (comics and movies).

Got the game, and played last night. Still got the last section to go.

I genuinely had no idea as to what was going to happen, apart from the opening salvo with Catwoman being caught by Two-Face. I think the rest of the story is alright. Though (Hugo) strangely I feel a bit underwhelmed by sections of it. Boss battles aren't really radically improved, and are still similar in execution and difficulty.

It does evoke AA in the look, but the feel seems a bit different somehow. I think AC is better technically, but I *feel* the atmosphere of AA more, I think. That's not to say AC doesn't have atmosphere, mind you. I think AC feels more episodic and more detached. But it's early days yet, that opinion may change in time as I play it more often.

I don't think some characters get enough airtime. I thought Two-Face was going to have a bigger part. Strange is hardly in the game as well. He does have voice-overs through AC speakers, but you only physically see him a few times. One thing I was surprised about is Penguin's role in the game. He's in it quite a lot.

But don't think I dislike the game. Far from it. The game is brilliant fun. And I love playing as Catwoman. I haven't sunk my teeth into the side quests, but Mad Hatter's section is flat out trippy. Quite confrontingly so. Looking forward to doing the rest. I want to comment on the Batman/Joker relationship, but I'll wait until I finish the game, to see how it all pans out.
