That's pretty cool. That was Sarah the mod from the official forum btw. She pretty much only went in a straight line so the map will probably be even bigger when you go the other way. I wonder how many buildings we'll be able to enter also?

Considering that they are said to be planning for a couple more games I wonder if they will make a different section of Gotham in each one or if it's possible to do the entire city.

fucking huge world....

Wow. The scope of the world is incredible.

Also, the continuous swinging and gliding looks like a ton of fun, and a huge upgrade from the first game.

What's the big deal? I didn't see anyone shooting their load over Just Cause 2, which had that same swing/glide mechanic and a much bigger world.

Did Just Cause 2 also have Batman?

Yes, though he was more like Banmanuel.

Get a Green Lantern "Batman" suit if you buy the Green Lantern blu-ray. As tempting as that is, the GL movie sucked big balls. Might be worth throwing on ebay, though.

A Green Lantern Batman suit? Will it look as stupid as the actual GL costume in the movie?

Solid Snake 08-24-11 07:38 PM

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
 
Might look like this cuz I guess this happened in '08. Anyone know the story on this?

I remember seeing the different versions of Batman, but I don't think anyone has posted Robin yet.

Robin, Assassin's Creed Robin, S&M Robin.

As for Batman, don't know how he ended up a Green Lantern at any point. He was part of the White Lantern corps for about two seconds along with everyone else fighting the Black Lantern.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
 
The link says its a Sinestro Corps Yellow Lantern suit. As for the Robins, I recognize Red Robin and TAS Robin, but where is the middle one from?

I wish all of these suits were all unlockables like the suits in Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, but I'll probably buy them anyway if they're cheap enough.

yeah, if you read the article, it appears he's going to be a yellow lantern, not a green lantern.

It's a PS3 exclusive, which means it's on the blu disc itself I guess.

The middle Robin might be a take on the Damian version aka Batman's son when he took the mantle...he was Talia's son as well. Though..from what I see...Damian had a different look. Could be...I dunno.

Also the 3rd Robin (on the right of course) is the Batman TAS version.

How do you expect me to make snap judgements if I have to stop and read everything?

That is the variant cover to Green Lantern volume 4 #9 from '06, not '08. The actual story isn't as exciting as the cover suggests. (When are they ever?) Hal lets Bruce try on a ring, but in the end Bruce doesn't want to give up his inner demons and takes if off.

Its definitely based on Damian Wayne.

That is what it looks like...still...a different design of him I've never seen. The cape part needs to be longer...

That was what Damian looked like as Robin when he was first introduced in the Batman & Son arc in 2006 up until Bruce died in Final Crisis in 2009. Then when Dick became Batman, Damian changed outfits. Now he looks like this:

You're in the minority with that opinion.

Just watched the Mr. Freeze trailer. Looks like it's shaping up to be better than AA.

But you don't like good things, so that makes sense.

It was pretty much the best videogame playground ever created, along with a fantastic box of toys to exploit the playground with.

I loved Just Cause 2. What's the score now?

Supermallet 10-07-11 03:49 AM

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
 
So I haven't really been keeping up on this, but with it coming out this month maybe someone knows: Is there going to be exclusive content on the PS3 again or should I just get it on the 360?

Nevermind, I'm looking at the Arkham City forums on the official site and it looks like it's going to be pre-order exclusives determined by which retailer you use, and not which console you choose. I'm getting mine from Amazon, so I get a $10 GC and a comic book. No skins or characters or anything. Oh well, I'll get it on the 360 and buy the skins as DLC later.

Re: Batman: Arkham City Thread
 
I think this is a list of the preorder bonus for the game:

* Amazon: $10 promotional credit, and exclusive Batman: Arkham City comic (with Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions only).

* Gamestop: exclusive Joker’s Carnival challenge map (reported 4 hours of gameplay), and a digital copy of Batman: Gotham Knight anime movie.

* BestBuy: exclusive Robin character with his own unique gadgets and moves. Playable in all challenge maps of the game, including two additional maps that are only available with Best Buy preorders (Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape).

* Newegg: free Batman t-shirt with console versions of the game.

* Walmart: $10 eGift card and a free copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum with console versions of the game.

Here in Canada, Future Shop is offering a steelbook along with a Dark Knight Returns skin DLC.

That version of Arkham Asylum that's for the Wal-Mart exclusive is the Game of the Year edition as well.

Weird choice by Wal*Mart. I mean how many people that are getting this game wouldn't already have the first one?

Doesn't that still leave a LOT of Batman skins unaccounted for?

Saw a preview last night showing Batman fighting thugs in Joker's Carnival and it looked awesome. Read some more on it online it sounds like its a part of the DLC and adds around 4 hours of material to the game. I can't wait to play this!!

They gonna release a demo before the game like AA? I haven't read the whole thread, not sure if it was mentioned or not.
