Batman Arkham Asylum was a decent game, it was pretty repeptitive but every game is repeptitive to a point I suppose. I just hope in this new one they get more interesting boss fights and the final boss battle in Arkham Asylum was a joke lol. Still looking forward to this game though.
I came.
it’s pretty dumb to announce a sequel so soon, especially right before xmas. Will turn off a lot of people from buying the first one
Hammil God damn well better go back on his word. No one does the Joker like he does. Heath was fine, but M.H. is the real deal.
I still need to play the first…
I don’t know about that. The fact that there’s a sequel now means that Eidos is satisfied with the sales of the first game. If nobody buys AA at this point, it’s cool, but if people were to buy AA now to see what the fuss is about, then that’s cool too.
I’m pretty sure he said that it was going to be his last time doing Joker’s voice because I remember posting that article up. It just goes to show you that money can almost do anything…including ‘fixing’ your strained vocal cords.
Wasn’t Clayface in a special cell at one point in the first AA. If I remember correctly he would shape shift when you took the camera off him (the head guard, gordon, etc.). When you used detective mode, he didn’t have a skeleton (obviously).
A fight with him would be epic, though.
Mark Hamill Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 interview
some cliff notes include ‘This is last time I’m doing the Joker. No I’m serious this time!’. Based upon the interview though it sounds like Joker doesn’t end up with the last laugh.
That’s a shame. I still have to play the first.
although you DO see Clayface (to an extent), and you see Freeze’s container.
And obviously Penguin is present, considering you see his nightclub.
Joker being ‘sick’ is more than we think it is, too
Now I can’t remember the name of the story, Joker was once convinced that he was dying by the doctors in order to try and calm him down (y’know, reflect on life and all that). Instead, he decides to leave his mark and “Jokerize” the world. Basically, he sends the planet into turmoil by convincing high-powered supervillians to wreak havoc, release Joker venom, etc. I figure they’re combining that with No Man’s Land (perhaps that caused NML). Although he might actually be sick from the events of the first game. Either way, I would slaughter the innocent to make this game come out faster.
I’m wondering what was it about AA2 that Rocksteady told him that convinced Hamill to change his mind? I’m intrigued…

Check out the cool black and white art!
Grant Theft Auto: Gotham.
This game will achieve epic hype status if you can drive in the Batmobile and the other Bat-vehicles.
Love the artwork. I want to see more!
Since we are in the streets can we get the batmobile or batbike? Oh and we better have twice the number of bosses.
I thought the first one was great because it wasn’t a GTA rip-off.
I hope this one doesn’t disappoint.
Hmm, I didn’t get this GI issue yet and why is it called Arkham City?
