Ok, it's lookin solid.  But man, it could all be over if those idiots would just attack at the same time instead of standing around.  "doop doop doop."

@Zor: He's certainly been in a couple of batman books. As I understand it he's simply more of a widespread DC villain/person then the others who get tied down to one or two books

Hes both.  I dont read the comics, but I think pretty much every animated movie with superman and batman or if there is a huge group of DC villains, he shows up.

I'm not the biggest batman fan in the world, so hopefully someone can enlighten me - has the penguin always had an english accent or is it just for this game?

Well... technically he was in a comic book - you know, written word?  So there was no accent. haha.... 
 
No, I actually don't know of his origin story in the comics.

I really wish they'd stop spoiling their own game with videos of all the villains. I haven't watched any videos past the first teaser, but the names of the videos of thumbnails on every single gaming website keeps ruining shit.

I love the fact that Grundy got to say part of the rhyme and not just grunt like some generic big dude

Alright, it makes sense, i would just prefer to have Killer Croc back, so that he could throw large rocks at Batman...

I actually don't really care for that design. Seems rather dull and uninspired.

The greatest one indeed. Should be a feature in itself, not just a commercial.

Danny Devito's "The Penguin" leaves Arkham City's Penguin much to be desired.
 
It's the voice that kills it for me.

So does this mean we defeat Solomon Grundy The Long Halloween way? Because I think everyone from Batman to Two-Face knows that rhyme by now. Or are we just gonna punch him?

His voice seems fine, a bit generic but fine.
 
Also just quickly self-schooled my self on Grundy, seems like an interesting character well suited for the "big angry boss fight" archetype.  He's a zombie swamp man who dies a lot and has personality disorders lol.

The Penguin seemed like just a short Brit, no quacking and his nose is barely long enough to be considered a long nose, not even close to the comics.. Disappointing!

@RoyCampbell: Aw I loved Devito's Penguin but I like the direction Rocksteady took.I like the voice and appearance I can actually take him seriously as a crime boss.He doesn't linger as the cheesy over the top traditional Penguin.
