Looks very promising.

Indeed it does

looks sick. Joker looks great, love the riddler's room. And Killer Croc looks beast mode. Definitely checking this one out.

I hope it turns out well. The Joker looks very Nicholson in one picture.

Yeah, I spazzed a bit when I read that article. The only thing I could think of at this point that could make it better is if Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill voice Batman and the Joker, respectively.

Hopefully it's more free-form than most Batman games, or superhero games in general. A belt of goodies and a cadre of skills, with a diverse environment to use them in, is far better than scripted encounters.

Damn, that looks really good.

If Mark Hamill voiced Joker(and it even mentions there is a good possibility), that would be Godly, Mark Hamill's role as Joker was legendary.

I love all the character's looks, particuarily Killer Croc.

Ah, links don't work.

The only game I'm currently interested in with heroes in it is DC vs MK.

I thought the next Batman game would be based on the movie "Dark Knight". There were interviews saying that was going to happen.

Yeah, that didnt go through. Analyst say EA missed out on over a $100 million by not making one. There are still rumors that one might come out though.

Apparently "The Dark Knight" video game was being developed by Pandemic and will be published by EA, but kept things very quiet, because they were unhappy with the game, and they put the rest of the team on Mercenaries 2.

so they own the rights to make games based on the movie, however Eidos owns the rights to make batman games based on the comics, this game is not the movie tie in that gary oldman was talking about

well im glad cuz a dark knight game would suck but this game should be great, although killer croc looks like he'll beat batmans ass in this

I like the look of it, but as i have said they really should not have marketed linear gameplay as a positive aspect.

Still it looks fantastic....but it's not just the look that makes a good game.

Arkham Asylum, linear? They specifically said it wasn't linear, and was based on open exploration, like Metroid Prime.

and yet they said it would not be an open ended world spider-man clone.

Only "specific locations" which comes to my mind as Linear.

but he means by non linier is that u dont have to follow a specific road and can explore arkham alittle

Hmm i see...yeah that would work well.

Did anyone notice that Batmans face looks alot like George Clooney? Anyways this is going to be the best Batman game ever, let's just hope that they don't fall short, by giving him repetitive combat moves. This is what plagued Assassins Creed.
