Trailers: Batman: Arkham City Debut

[Squato]

Though they still missed with Harley Quinn's costume.

Why? I like it much more than the costume from AA. Also, it looks like now we'll have a proper boss fight with her, which is good. That was seriously annoying, when instead of fighting her I just had to beat thousands of regular goons.

Anyway, looks great, I'll definitely buy it.

Also, what's the name of the song?

The song is Short Change Hero by The Heavy.

THANK YOU very much for linking up that music. Think I've discovered someone new as a result.

Gah, Batman, you are so cool but you really need to drop the 'I cannot kill -no matter what- mantra! It's causing more harm than good!'

In other news, that trailer is fantastic. Game looks pretty great.

No he does not. His staunch moral code is what makes him Batman. It's part of why he's awesome.

Batman is awesome, but I just wish he could make some sort of 'pact'. Like, "if the guy in question repeatedly escapes and has a kill count of over a couple hundred, I can off him". ((ie: Joker and friends.)) Comics would be a heck of a lot more boring, but hey! one less homicidal maniac amirite?

I suppose it's part of what makes Batman batman, they go over it quite a bit in the comics, and the recent animated film "Under the red hood",(I can't remember the name of the comic it's adapted from) although saying that, if you've ever read Final Crisis...

OT: Need. Now.

You're very welcome (all I did was google arkham city trailer music. Hooray for the internet!)

Holy shit! Now that is how you make a trailer, it was the music that really made it stand out.

I just hope they don't get too Just Cause-y with that grapple...

Can someone else please say they think Two Face sounds like Ben Stiller, because that'd be awesome!

So, did else anyone notice the HUGE FRIGGIN SPOILER in the trailer? Not Dr. Hugo Strange. Not Harley Quinn (who, is it just me, or is her voice...different? Less like the original actress and more like a really good imitator.. *shrugs* Could just be age). It's not even Two-Face (glad they kept his B.A.S suit) or Catwoman, who seems to be voiced by the same actress who did Jack from Mass Effect 2.
Side Note: I fully approve of the voice work, obviously. It's like the game is having sex with my ears and everyone is invit-okay maybe not but it's still great.

At the very end of the vid after the Facebook and pre order bit is

Spoiler

THE JOKER!! WTF?! I thought he was sick and in a wheel chair, and that part of the mystery of the game was finding out what the hell's going on with Batman's oldest and deadliest rival! That's how it was promoted before!
_You got Mark Hamil. I get it. I'm dry humping my couch to pieces because you have my favorite (*coughBESTEVERcough*) Joker in this game. But
COME ON!!

Leave the mysteries a mystery! I want to see the characters, but not at the expense of getting spoiler all over my face! I'll be buying this game new, but I'll also be staying FAAAR~ away from anything relating to this game until I do.

........What?

We've known that The Joker is in the game since the very first teaser. And with regards to the whole "being sick" thing, he doesn't exactly look too healthy at the moment.

I put it in spoilers to prevent spoiling it, mate. But since you took the cat out of the bag might as well say it straight.
Joker was shown as stuck in a chair, coughing hard, and stuck to an IV and blood bag. He looked WAAAY more sick and aged than in this trailer. Also, when I checked out the earlier hands-on articles I read how Batman was also trying to find out if the Joker was really on his death bed or not. He might look bad, but compared to his previous cancer patient look he's definitely not on his death bed. Kind of ruins one of the many (I hope) mysteries about the game.

But maybe they revealed that before this trailer and I didn't notice. I don't know. I just think it was a waste to give a reveal like that just to show us that Joker really is in the game.

I just assumed that anyone who'd been keeping an ear to the ground on this game would be aware that Mark Hammil has said that this will be his final time voicing The Joker....or of The Jokers appearence in the very first trailer......as would the people who just watched the trailer he just appeared in, thereby negating the need for a spoiler tag.

I think I'm getting off track.....

Anyways, do you really think they could've made a sequel to AA without Joker?
