It seems all the information about the game fell on deaf ears for me. I’ve only seen the demo played not play it myself. I loved the animated series I just have a soft spot for the current Bale Dark Knight.

My favorite characters from the series were Harley and Poison Ivy, it will be nice to seem them ingame.

I am thinking this will kinda reminds me Watchmen’s Rorsharch’s breakout on steroids, VENOM, and many more comic powers resources.

Having played the ‘beat em up’ style trial for the game. I’ve gotta admit the battle system is pretty darn fun!

Not being a fan of stealth based games, i’m worried that THAT part of the game is whats gonna kill it for me. Either way, i’m pretty excited for it.

I’m really hoping you’re wrong. I also agree with Enner that there really doesn’t seem to be much of a lack of information. The demo is definitely alot of fun to play, the videos of Batman using the shadows and rafters to take down enemies and the fact that they’re supposed to be integrating detective elements have gotten me really excited for this game. Then again, the fact that they got Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill to reprise their rolls from the animated series would have sold me on the game even without everything else.

It reminds you of Bioshock probably because it uses the Unreal 3 engine like everything else these days.

As for the art style, I’m not crazy for it being so comical. I wish they took more cues from Nolan’s movies. Then again, Poison Ivy would look more out of place.

As for the lack of information, I don’t think there’s too much of that. There have been a steady stream of videos and previews. Also, a demo of the fighting system was released not to long ago. Since this is a single-player, open-world game, it’s not unreasonable for the developer to keep people away from knowing too much about the story.

I’m excited for this game because it looks like we’ll finally get a good Batman game and that it will have the actors from the animated series.

yea I seem my ‘regular’ school buddies going “omg I’m getting batman Arkham Asylum” since like May but I myself hardly heard anything about it except the title. Just a while ago on facebook one of my friend’s statue was “just reserved assassins creed 2 and Batman aa”

This game reminds me of bioshook.
