There's just no way to make everyone happy.

Games coming out on every single platform are usually a bad sign because resources are so damn spread out.

Somebody else on the internet put this very well:
Batman = Rorschach (mean loner who hurts people) + Nite Owl (got hella gadgets)
Rorschach on his own against B-man would be in some deep shit. :(
" I'm a big fan of Batman but I dunno. I don't think Rorschach would play fair. He might eventually kill Bats. Rorschach is probably more insane than the Joker. "I could see Rorschach being smart enough to actually figure out that Batman = Bruce Wayne, then like burn down Bruce's home, kill Alfred and Robin, and piss on Batman's carpet. Like, generally making Batman's life really sucky.
But I don't think in any kind of fight that Rorschach could actually KILL Batman. He would need like a sniper rifle or something and he's not down with that kind of thing. He'd want to go hand-to-hand and Batman would whoop the shit out of him.
"I want to see Robin and in the end of the game The Joker killing him, like hw did in the comic "
Actually unless I am forgetting something we thought Robin got blown up but really he survived and went on to become the fake Batman in RIP last year. Tim Drake never died and still lives to my knowledge.
As for what I want to see in the sequel? I think Two Face is a no brainer, would like to see Clayface out and causing trouble if they can work it (maybe using Detective Vision to see him without bones like you could do in the first one). Really I am not sure what the concept could be since Arkham is a creepy and expansive place where you could have a garden level for Ivy then have an electric shock floor for another fight and not think too much about it. Unless the setting is wide open Gotham and you are going to different levels I don't know how they could do it. I know my knee jerk reaction is I don't want "levels" in the traditional sense.
Guest hero cameos by some DC characters would be cool though, if not Batgirl or Robin then maybe the Birds of Prey (especially Black Canary....so hot!)
While this does seem like good new--I'm just not that excited. I'm just now playing Batman: Arkham Asylum and it's a great game. I have to ask myself--will a year really be enough time to make a great sequel to a great game? Also, who want a sequel this soon? I feel the best follow-up are 2-3 years apart (Uncharted, Halo, Gears of War, God of War etc...) and that franchises that do yearly sequels burn out fast (Tony Hawk, Madden, Call of Duty?). Perhaps if they waited a year or two, I would have been more excited.

Hammertime!
..... sorry. On the subject of Arkham Asylum 2, it seems extremely soon considering the last game only hit in late August. As long as the quality is not affected by a shortened development cycle, i'm all for it. "
Where's the boycott for this game? I don't think boycotts work but after the Left 4 Dead scandal, I wonder if people are gonna complain about how soon this is coming. Then again we don't know if this is for 2010. I'm happy to see this announcment, I really like the first game and I can't wait to see who your taking down this game. So far Two Face, Harley Quinn, and Joker are the only ones I've seen. Geoff Keighley said in his twitter that he has noticed 4 from the trailer, I just pointed out 3 but I have no idea who else is in there. If this game is coming in 2010, then 2010 will be the greatest game in gaming history!

I've not had a chance to play it yet, but based on reviews I gather that a one year development cycle didn't adversely affect its quality.
This." They haven't announced a release date for the thing. You guys don't honestly think we'll be seeing it in 2010 do you? That seems pretty naive. "
I think that Spike was just searching for announcements to bring in viewership for this year's VGAs. Granted, it seems like it worked quite well, but I have a feeling that a lot of the games announced will be a long time coming.
Remember, AA is really Eidos' one big franchise, barring Tomb-Raider, that is still going strong (and some could argue Tomb-Raider has been dead for a while now). I highly doubt that, despite the revenue they could make off of a quick cash-in, they'd risk ruining the quality of their new-found, potential blockbuster franchise.
