If there going to do another sequel and set in Gotham City ( I think it has to be), I rather keep the same feel as AA. Have one major villain act as the main enemy like Joker was and then have secondary villains.

But who would be the main villain?

maybe

Spoiler:
Ra's Al Ghoul?

would be an interesting choice... It'd be interesting to see Hush, too, since he's fond of being the Chessmaster.

It should be

Spoiler:
Alfred, the most badass butler on the fawkin planet.

estahuh

Why are we spoiler tagging anything about a sequel? Anybody who reads any sort of preview about Batman AA knows who the villains are going to be in the game.

Ra's would be a good choice for overarching bad guy similar to Batman Begins. If he is the main antagonist, other villains like Two Face, Penguin or Catwoman could be side villains. Catwoman would be a great choice because I always felt she wasn't the craziest about killing everbody than Joker, or Ra.

I added spoiler tags to

Spoiler:
Ra's Al Ghoul, for the simple fact that when you scan his body bag you get his bio, yet when you return to the game after finishing it his body inside said body bag has vanished.

Naturally people who don't know this wouldn't know Ra's was in the first game, let alone he escaped from Arkham after being revived at some point during Batmans quest.

I didn't notice that....hmm.

Davis Bloome Death Must Follow

Really can't wait to get this, though I'm not sure when I'll be able to pick it up. It looks like a really kickass game and I've yet to read anything bad about the movie.

Two-Face
at the end provides a handy first chapter for the game (or even some bridging DLC!) and I'm sure a great many people would like to see Catwoman and Freeze, among others, better-represented. Personally I'd love a sequence where Batman heads to the Iceberg Lounge to interrogate Penguin. As well as some evidence of Gotham's mob corruption.

Ah, me too. I hope there's more to Two-Face than just a first chapter though.

Me neither, as far as the body disappearing at least. Interesting...

Also, some of the combo challenges in this game sure are hard. Perhaps, too hard, or maybe I just suck (at least got 3 medals on all the predator challenges though).
The Shock and Awe level is more like "Shock and ah shit!" when you're doing it on Extreme. I kinda rage-quitted on that. =(
At least got Freeflow Perfection achievement though. That was tough.

General Kaliero F = ma, beeyotches.

I'm still trying to achieve Freeflow Perfection... playing on Hard, though, so I don't know if that makes the Challenges more difficult.

I still love both Combat and Predator challenges, though I'm having trouble with the Extreme Combat challenges... I think getting Dark Knight and Freeflow bonuses every round is necessary for the higher scores...

Also, how do you get Break Through on Silent Knight Extreme? I tried to fire the line through windows but it just told me I didn't have a connect point forward. And is there a way to set up Three for Three, or do you just have to get lucky with patrols?

It kinda does in a way, though I got Freeflow Perfection by playing the first round on the Intensive Treatment challenge (Extreme) until I got it. Best order is to first start out with the Batclaw (RT button), then do punch, counter, cape stun, ground pound on a downed enemy (RT+Y), and A button to jump behind an enemy (in whichever order). Then do the throw (A+X), takedown (Y+B), and finish off with batarang (tap LT quickly). All 9 moves have to be done in a single combo.

Just be sure you're not close to a nearby enemy when proceeding to do the ground pound on a downed thug, because you'll most likely get hit from behind and not be able to counter in time.

Yeah, it is pretty much. I tend to restart if I get hit or something on the first round. Just got 4 more levels on combat challenge to get all three medals on.

You just have to get lucky mainly. It took me awhile, but I finally got it after awhile by following the steps here. 😛

I'm glad they through in the fact That Batman had his back broken in Bane's bio, I really enjoyed Knightfall/Knightsend. If only Jean Paul Valley was in the next one somehow......

I did, I couldnt but help to smile when I saw that.

That reminds me, I like that the main villains all have their own game over screens. Scarecrow's in particular make excellent use of the fact he looks terrifying.

Smasandian Smell the Ashes

I did like that too.

Scythe The Goat

I like how this game throws in achievements for hardcore gamers, but makes it all optional so that casual gamer's don't feel the need to get frustrated and put the game away.

Smasandian Smell the Ashes

It does help with the unlocking of new combos and abilities. I don't think this game is meant for a casual gamer. I think they would be put off at the start.

Once you find the secret maps, its easy to find everything.

Scythe The Goat

Really? Cool. Some of my friends have been playing this and it hasn't given off a "too hard to get into" feeling like Dissidia's story mode.

Smasandian Smell the Ashes

Compared to a RPG, it's not a hardcore game, but it plays a hardcore game.

I guess it depends on what you mean by casual gamers.
