    Arkham Asylum was probably the most surprisingly fun game I have ever played. Was expecting nothing from it and it was a riot.

    Yeah, very good game and I'm expecting Arkham City to be that much better. The free roam is going to be fantastic in this game (which it was in Asylum too).

    Apparently you are going to be able to go just about everywhere right off the bat in this one. This is one of my most anticipated games this year. This fall is going to put a serious strain on my wallet with all of the AAA releases coming out this fall.

    This game is a must buy for me, the first one is maybe my favorite game this generation.

    By far the best comic book game. You can't not love all of the nods to different characters that weren't included in the game (ie toe tag in the morgue, black mask hanging on the wall, Clayface screwing with you from one of the cells). I felt they had the perfect mix of villains broken up into different parts of the game. I've played through 3 or 4 times and still want to play it again.

    There needs to be a thread on the video game board for after the game comes out and people can bump it while playing.

    Agree. Don't want it to get derailed on the MB.

    Who are the confirmed villains?
    Two Face
    Riddler
    Joker
    Hugo Strange
    Zsasz
    Harley Quinn
    Mr. Freeze
    Talia al Ghul

    Am I missing any?

    I lurked the Rocksteady boards on a daily basis for months just waiting for confirmations on villains. Kind of scary, really. I've cooled off on the Batman obsession, but I'm sure it will start back up here soon.

    Biographical information was also sent along by Warner Bros.

    Real Name: Harvey Dent
    Alias: TWO-FACE
    Occupation: Professional Criminal
    Base: Gotham City
    Eyes: Blue
    Hair: Brown/Grey
    Height: 6 ft
    Weight: 182 lb

    First Appearance: Detective Comics #66 (August 1942)

    Attribute 01: Hideously scarred on the left half of his face, which he plays up with clothing that's differently styled on one side.
    Attribute 02: Extremely skilled with his weapons of choice: twin .45 automatics.
    Attribute 03: Psychotic obsession with duality, designing crimes around the number two.
    Attribute 04: Defers to his half-scarred coin in choices of life or death.

    Background Story:
    District Attorney Harvey Dent was one of Batman's strongest allies in Gotham City, until a criminal threw acid in Dent's face, hideously scarring him. The wounds fractured his psyche, and he was reborn Two-Face, a schizoid criminal mastermind obsessed with duality. His former good-luck charm, a "two-headed" trick silver dollar, was damaged on one side in the attack, and Dent has seized on it as a reflection of his half-scarred visage. He flips it to decide the fates of his victims. Two-Face is thriving in Arkham City, rallying inmates to join his gang using tried and true campaign tactics.

    Check out some of these costumes you get if you pre-order the game:

    Even though it's a UK site, i'm sure Gamestop and Amazon will have similar deals.

    The Batman Beyond suit looks freaking awesome.

    There's an audio recording of Penguin talking with Dr. Strange posted in the TMB thread for this game that is worth listening to.

    Batman Beyond, Batman TAS, and TDKR suits, I came. They've only been announced as a britain preorder, but I'd imagine that it'll be a worldwide thing and will immediately cause me to preorder.

    Will all skins later be released as DLC or will they remain exclusive to the pre-order retailers?
    They will be available at a later date yes

    How will we fight grundy?Is he the next trailer?
    We really aren't confirming anything more about your interaction with him before the game is released.

    Skins: Will each skin come with there own unique moves, like combat combos and silent takedowns etc.?
    They won't no.

    Is Penguin voiced by Nolan North?
    Yes!

    Is the collectors edition final?(as in the contents that are contained)
    It is yes.

    Robin Toy: is he supposed to be missing a leg or was the toy just broken?
    Sadly during transit from the main Comicon arena to the panel he got a little damaged, the final one will have a leg!

    Is Comic-Con the last major event in the states where Arkham City will be exhibited?
    It's not no, but that's all I can say!

    Can Rocksteady officially say who is voicing Catwoman in Arkham City yet?
    Not yet.

    Has there been any consideration to adding a game case of sorts to the collectors edition following the negative response to the Arkham City disk going into the art book sleeve? If not, will we see printable box art for PS3 and Xbox 360 cases released into the media section around launch?
    The Collectors Edition is final, but given the feedback I will work with WB and DC to provide print quality box art for download at game launch.

    Will Mr Cobblepot(wow it sounds strange to use his "real" name) wear his Top hat in the game?
    Our version of Penguin is much more of a disgusting mob boss with delusions of Grandeur and does not own anything like a top hat

    Will Penguin be involved in the turf war?
    Penguin certainly has a very strong presence in Arkham City as the city was built around him when he refused to move, as such he has a real stake in the city and will fight to keep his share.

    Regarding a glide feature with the "Batman Beyond" Batsuit and 3D features such as Stereoscopic 3D:
    I really can't give additional details on the skins, sorry guys [​IMG]

    We haven't confirmed or announced any 3D features

    On the playability of the skins in campaign:
    We have confirmed that TDKR skin will be playable in campaign, that is all. [*The Dark Knight Returns]

    Biggest boner ever right now for me. Freeze's origin story on Batman:TAS is unbelievable, especially since before that he was a fringe character who was way more goofy than anything else.
