fuck
yes

I watched this trailer like 20 times last night, it looks freaking great and sounds amazing

[Dareus]

That's going to be a kick ass game, I can't wait!

[Kael]

It looks good.

But uhm....Wow Batman is EXTREMELY BUFF

[Akiyama]

Mark Hamill + Kevin Conroy = winsauce.

[LD]

Mark Hamill + Kevin Conroy = winsauce.

Getting them for this is the smartest move DC could have made.

[Akiyama]

Completely agreed. I've always loved them as Batman/Joker. They just seem to have that chemistry.

[Kaisha]

Quite an ambitious second project for the developer, here's to hoping they make a name for themselves this time around with this, as it's looking fantastic visually.

It kind of reminds me of Riddick:EFBB, that same kind of mood....and the emphasis on melee combat and stealth, that can only be a good thing. (even though this title is 3rd-person)

[Alina]

Hearing the classic Batman voices will probably be what wins me over... Here's to hoping it's actually a good game!

[Parshias]

Even if the gameplay sucks, (and from what I read about it in EGM or something like 5 months ago, it won't) the game will be fantastic just for Hamill + Conroy + Dini doing the story.

It's enough to make me pop 11 boners.

Not just batman, Gordon is way big. Game looks really good, & it being written by the same person as the original Animated series is awesome. Are other villians supposed to be in it also, or just the Joker and all the random prisoners?
Only thing I'm not too thrilled about is that it seems to only take place inside the Asylum. It won't affect the overall game much, but I've always been a fan of lush landscapes

[nitsuj]

Holy crap. I thought that game was cancelled... I had confused it with the one Pandemic was making

[ZarakiKujata]

I was looking forward to this as is, but holy shit 10000x more now. Whens the exact release date?

[Katlan]

Sometime in '09 (guess summer based on the trailer), but hasn't been given a tentative release date yet

There's going to be a ton of villains. I heard recently that Harley Quinn is in it, and she too has her voice actor from the animated series returning. Some of the earlier trailers have shown Killer Croc, and I think I heard about Mr. Zsasz being in the game. Considering how this takes place in Arkham, you can be sure that we'll see most of Batman's rogue gallery.

[Headspace]

I came.

[Kyo]

Only once?

[Guitarman]

Look at the pic of killer croc. He towers over batman. Completely dwarfs him in size. looks incredibly menacing too. I can't wait for this one.


Edit: Pic of croc :

[Alina]

Do want.

[Sonomaa]

Croc: Batman Im going to kill you
Batman: Really croc, how
Croc: -explains-
Batman: thank you for giving me the few minutes required to figure out how to beat you

from what I read, kotaku got a 20 minute preview and it looks really good, Im excited for the cameos and stuff. I bet we get tons of cool unlockables

also, its arkham island now, so its a lot bigger than you think

[Guitarman]

Even has a batcave underneath the asylum from what game informer was saying.
