Kinda looks like Nora should be hanging around Mr. Freeze's side, and when you've killed him, you have to choose whether you want to kill her and harvest her ADAM.

Not even ONE ice pun in that trailer! Disappointing. Surely a little "no icescape" wouldn't have hurt!

Behind Batman and Joker, Mr. Freeze had the best VO on the animated series. Bummed they couldn't get him back.

First impression was I thought the costume looks like a modernized, icy version of The Fury from MGS 3 (in the best possible way).

I remember getting really sad watching Victor Freeze's episode of the Batman cartoon.

I'm still worried they are adding too many Villians. Who are they gonna add new to the third game? Also with this many villians won't that spread out the team too thin?

There's no business like snow business ... if you tell me it's snow ... travelling through the country is so chilling ...  
 
OK, I'll stop. I think I've hit a thaw nerve.

Man-Bat, Ra's Al Ghul, Hush, Firefly, Clayface, Deadshot, Lock-Up, and I'm sure there are more. And again, who says you couldn't bring back afew A-listers?

@Agent47: Of course they're taking it seriously. Paul Dini, the writer of both AA and AC is the man responsible for turning Mr. Freeze into a sympathetic character.

"Hey guys, what would it take to make Mr. Freeze awesome?"

Nothing, it can't be done.

"What about this?"

Uh. Damn. That's exactly what you do.

I totally agree with you. As much as I'll lvoe this game, I want my opponents to be fleshed out and great fights, not just another hump in the road and another boss to just have a brawl with.

CHALLENGE: I want the most scientific ice/snow/cold pun in this topic by the next 60 minutes.

Way too late, but I'll throw my hat in the ring. 
 
I don't know if this game is fully fleshed out yet. It'll be interesting to see the ideas crystallize
Will Mr. Freeze and Batman really team up? I don't know if they can join without having conflicts - but maybe there'll be some interesting character development in the heat of fusion.
I wonder how this addition will affect the game in the end. Perhaps during reviews it'll get triple points for including a wider variety of villains. [The triple point is the temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and gas phases of a substance are in equilibrium.]
You know water'd be really cool? If this game had an expansion pack. [water, unlike most other liquids, expands when frozen.] 
I don't want to belambor da point, but I liked the old Mr. Freeze better. [The Lambda point is a temperature close to absolute zero where helium transitions into a superfluid, helium II.] He was all about the ice puns, not just about being serious all the time - I really think he had a firm ironic concentration. [A fermionic condensate is a superfluid formed by fermions, a kind of subatomic particle, at low temperatures.]

I feel like people remember the retarded campy Shoemacher Batman movies more than the more mature childrens cartoon which actually did some pretty cool things for Batman. A shame.
@HellBrendy: They had plenty of villains in AA and most of them had fleshed out arcs in the story. Bane and that guy that marked himself were shallow, but poison Ivy, killer Croc, Harley, Scarecrow and the joker all had unique segments of the game devoted to them. I'd imagine Mr. Freeze could easily have an area he just covers with ice, maybe an area that you've been before but now its all different because it is snowing.  
Batman has a good mix of villains they can do a lot of creative things with that don't involve punching because guys like Croc and Bane are obviosuly much tougher than Batman, and characters like the Joker have to try to outsmart Batman.

I love how Batman The Animated Series took such a stupid villain and made him a sympathetic nihilist who paradoxically kills hundreds in cold (sorry) blood to cure the love of his life.
