Looks good. Especially with the black PS3 banner.

Agreed. Speaking of boxes, here are some nice fanmade ones.








The fan work can be very good most of the time. But I actually prefer the one they went with. I think it was the best image in that style - the current wallpaper to this very forum. Note: they changed the ears. Crouching on a gargoyle is a hard image to beat when it comes to Batman. And I'm a noir fan. So I find the black and white look classy and stylised. The blood on the hands stands out better, too. It's obviously meant to connect with the red title card. Signifying Arkham City is a place of violence. I do hope they have that image of Batman and Catwoman together on the back. I'm sure they will. Since she is a playable character in story mode.

Agreed, the official image is the best and most iconic. I think if you bet money that they'll use the Batman/Catwoman image on the back, your pockets will be full. I remember it was one of the first pictures released, and still one of the best.


Arleen Sorkin e-mailed me earlier this week regarding the casting of Tara Strong as Harley.  Check out what she had to say here:

That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...

It would be great if everyone could leave a message for Arleen in the comments section of the news story

IGN posted some new concept art and details concerning Robin.



Concept artist Kan Mutfic commented:
Quote"We wanted to create a Robin that players would identify as a contemporary character and move away from the traditional "Boy Wonder" image that most people know. Our vision of Robin is the one of a troubled young individual that is calm and introverted at times but very dangerous and aggressive if provoked. The shaved head is inspired by cage fighters, because we thought that Robin might be doing that in his spare time to keep him on his toes. Still, we kept all the classic trademarks of Robin's appearance, such as the red and yellow colors of his outfit, the cape and the mask.

We really hope that people will discover our Robin as one of their new favorite characters in the Batman universe. He is back and he means business." KAN MUTFIC, JULY 2011

Looks like Assassins Creed or something...I like it!
