If Batman fights Killer Croc again, I recommend Rockstead to let him wear the mechanized Batsuit which was used to combat Bane after the first encounter in the comics. I don't want anymore of that "OMG here comes Croc, run like a sissy and throw batarangs at him until he falls back in the water."
With the trailer showing the streets of Gotham, it looks like AA2 will be a sandbox-styled game. Since drivig sequences have failed in past Batman games, perhaps Batman should just do what he does best, swing around and jump from rooftop to rooftop and if there will be driving sequences, we can only hope it doesn't suck.
Just based off the first game, I don't see the engine doing driving sequences very well.
If it's going to be half assed then don't bother adding to driving in it.
I also don't think its going to be a sandbox game but the same as the last one. An overworld type deal but not a sandbox type game. Well, I hope it isnt. What made the first game so fun was that it wasn't a GTA clone but a Metroid clone. It worked surprisingly well.

The only reason Arkham Asylum lacked an entire free roam was because Batman was trapped inside an asylum. Now that he's roaming around Gotham City, picturing this game not being a sandbox is kinda difficult.

If it's hard to imagine, look at some third person shooters. Freedom Fighters is a good example as it takes place in a city and has none of that sandbox gameplay.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the formula of the first AA, however, in my opinion, since Bats won't be in AA anymore, Gotham is his oyster. I think that it's be really cool to open up Gotham for exploration and swing from building to building while in detective mode looking for crimes in between levels/fights/mission/etc.
If Batman was limited to only building interiors in the sequel, I think that it would be a waste of SO MUCH potential.
If anything, I just really hope that this go around, the boss fights will be majorly tweaked to avoid the same awful formula last go around: hit the boss a few times, beat a wave of Joker's thugs, repeat 3 or four times, etc.
I do agree that having Batman walk around the city would be good but I rather see the game be more like the first than a GTA clone.
For example, instead of driving to a letter on the map, getting the mission and then going to another area of the map and then accomplishing the mission would be kinda of lame.
The problem I see is that any side missions will suck because the character is already been set. It would be out of character to have him do something mundane while catching criminals and stopping crime would work, it would get completely tedious.
In the end, the reason I loved the first is because it was cinematic and having it open world would lose that. It would be a game, and I wouldnt be interested what so ever.
You’ve played the first game. You’ve seen the teaser trailers. Now we’ve got a title for the most highly anticipated video game sequel in years.
Today, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment announced BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY as the title for the follow-up to the award winning and critically acclaimed videogame BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM.
The game, which will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC next fall and developed by Rocksteady Studios, expands upon the gritty, atmospheric scenery and characterization that catapulted BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM to the forefront. It is set in a sequestered section of Gotham City that has become the home for the criminally insane. Players are introduced to a brand new story that bring together an ensemble cast of characters and villains from the Batman universe, as well as enhanced gameplay features that build upon the ultra-realistic Dark Knight experience that fans enjoyed with BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM.
