Giving more validity to the Hugo Strange rumor for Dark Knight Rising.  I still maintain that it should have been called Gotham Asylum.

Is this CGI also done by the Final Fantasy guys? You know, following the prerendered Deus Ex stuff? 
 
EDIT: Is that Christopher Lee? Sure sounds like him.

Since when did video game CGI look better than most of the CGI cartoons in theaters? I'm talking to you Yogi Bear!

My guess would be Blur Studios  (SW: The Old Republic trailer, etc.)  If so, they've improved- I too thought this was live-action for a minute.

This is what I want to know too. Christopher Lee would be great but I have a feeling he wouldn't voice a video game character.

@Branthog: Dude the questions marks were optional and awesome, what're you talking about. Also, there's no way a game engine would ever look this good, this is called CGI

he voiced (the real) Ansem in Kingdom Hearts 2 (and a little in BBS), so doesnt avoid voice acting in video games

Hopefully the final "Boss battle", if there is one, will be better than B:AA.  Other than that I didn't have one thing to complain about from the first one.

That is the probably the fourth time I've watched this trailer. The other times I watched it were on Gametrailers.com, Ign.com,  and Whiskey Media's comic section.  It's intense and action-packed.
 
The CG on this trailer is so realistic, it looks almost like it's live-action.  I'm guessing Hugo Strange is going to be the villain, considering he was tortuing that mercenary soldier for information. 
 
Overall, I seriously can't wait to play this new Batman game next year.

Except for the fact where they didn't show anything from the game. 
 
Anyway, I still think Arkham City is a terrible subtitle.
