I dunno if that's such a bad thing. I mean, last time they tried to manipulate review scores, we got Giant Bomb.
Well, actually, they have probably done it since then, but that would ruin the joke.

@takeoffyourpantsandjacket: If you read the comments you'll see Eidos released a statement directly addressing ramraider's article, something like:

“With regards an article posted on RamRaider alleging that Eidos has fixed review scores for Batman: Arkham Asylum, we want to state that no discussions have been held about review scores with any magazines. In short there is simply not one shred of truth in this article, except for the title of the game.”

And I have never been under the delusion that this isn't exactly how the videogame reviewing world works. So while I don't necessarily believe either aforementioned party, I don't care either way. Because it's FUCKING BATMAN, I would buy this game for the art style alone.

I'm all about this, but is it too much to ask for a Batman game where we can drive the batmobile around Gotham?????  I want to see that in the sequel.

Anyway, why isnt Mr Zsasz in this little description thing as well? Hes in the game...

However, voice acting by Joker is outstanding.

Ahhhh so awesome! I hope there are some surprises in the game they haven't revealed yet though, I mean Two Face, Riddler, Scarecrow, they gotta be in there, right? Unless they're planning a sequel, in which case, YES!

This trailer is awesome, but I'm still a little iffy about this game.  I'll wait until the reviews show up for it.

Everything looks fine here. Eidos just needs to leave it alone.

I'm also going to need a mode where I can make Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy fight.

Agreeing with what everyone else has said, this game looks amazing. I hope this will be the "Spider-man 2 the Movie: The Game" of the Batman universe, meaning that it captures what it's like to be Batman.
Also, Mark Hamill's Joker? Fuck yes. I've been psyched since I heard he was doing the voice acting.

Nice trailer. The game looks great, I'm not sure why they are worried about a low rating.
