Anyone notice that two-face looks like a cross between the animated series version and the dark night? 
I thought it was a nice touch.

Grand Theft Batman, Awesome! So what was the surprise they had to hold back? Catwoman or the Joker?

I get a very "Insert game name: Vietnam" vibe from the music.

There is so much good shit coming out!! For me, I really can't decide if this is the best year yet. If it ain't, it's close! Also, if you bang on the top of your 360 when the tray is going back in the riddler will load.

Anyone else seen the TV ads for The Batman?  Can't believe they're running high profile TV ads for a game coming out in October.

And my favorite part is when he swooped away after blowing up the Borgia Tower.  Now he can reopen the blacksmiths in that part of the city.

Based on the audio and editing of this video, I'm going to go ahead and assume this is a Vietnam movie.

I'm sure it will. It looks like a slightly polished version of the last game with a much greater scale. The first game looked and ran amazingly well for me maxed out with physx off. I'm sure if you can run any newer game well, and considering it's probably going to be optimized like the last game (It is UE3 after all, even if you can still fuck that up), I think you'll be sitting fine.
 
It would be great if they put in alternate costumes this time too. I mean you could mod it in with the demo version of the game, so I was running around as kick ass yellow belt Adam West batman, however when the final game came out, you could no longer do that, so it would be cool if you could unlock different suits for him. Change it up a bit rather than watch him get another suit all ripped up again.

This. I'm so excited for this game, but there's an absurd amount of great looking stuff coming out this year, probably about 12 big games I want. Gonna have to be picky about 'em.

Looks a bit like spider-man when Batman is gliding around and grappling.

Nice choice of music. The trailer's great, but I still wish Catwoman is still wearing her purple costume. I've never liked the current one.

Is this the same trailer the guys saw but weren't allowed to talk about the last ten seconds? If so, why not? Joker being in it wasn't a secret.

the 10 seconds theyve been embargoed on is the riddler's role as a character like Jigsaw from Saw. There's images over on G4

I was thinking Just Cause 2... freefall, grapple, glide, and repeat. I can't wait for Batman Batman Batman Batman! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet. Music threw me off at first but totally works.
