I just went with Ann's suggestion of 'The Diamonds'. I didn't want to spend forever on a team name like I did the protagonist's, and The Diamonds isn't terrible.

Everyone actually commented on it too, after I went with her suggestion. Which was a neat touch!

Thank you, bombers!  I really don't know what to say!
I was expecting a few more suggestions, but wow! You've all given me loads to go on! Games I haven't heard of, books, websites, interviews, new ideas... 
Seriously duders. Thank you all so much. You've all given me a lot to think about with this report, and I think it could be good!
 
Now, Facade is downloading and Alpha Protocol awaits my attention on my desk. Time to do some research!

Good evening, duders. 
For my final year of university, I'm supposed to write a dissertation on some aspect of modern storytelling. (It's a rather broad topic, isn't it?)
Now, being an avid gamer as well as an avid reader, one of the ideas I've been kicking around is doing my dissertation on interactive fiction. Looking at 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books, possibly roleplaying, D&D and the like. And of course, video games.
My hope is, if I do this, that I'd be able to use examples to highlight the kind of impact that player immersion can have on a storytelling experience, such as the events on Virmire in the original Mass Effect, and also the limitations of narrative that hinder true interaction. For instance, in Fallout New Vegas,

I rarely get excited about anime anymore. But man, this looks really good. I'm loving the artwork and the soundtrack so far!

I actually think that we'll open the game playing as Robin, as a tutorial character. 
Since Batman enters the game as the same tooled up badass he'd become at the end of Arkham Asylum, gadgets and all, it wouldn't make much sense to have him re-learn how to use them all. So, for those who didn't play the first game; Robin. He'll enter Arkham City, attempt to apprehend one of the villains, only to get captured at the end. Enter Batman, whose first task is to save Robin and send him home.

It was a toss up between two for me.
 
I really hated Roy Earle, because the game makes you hate Roy. He's such a sleazy, two-faced ass. And a lot of his actions

I did check Ebay. Some people are trying to sell the codes for as much as the game itself. It's ridiculous. o.O
Thank you all! It's actually quite a relief to know that I'm not going to miss out on Reptile's pre-order stuff. Plenty of stuff to unlock in the krypt in the meantime!

Being a starving student, I was forced to choose between this and Portal 2 on release day. I chose the latter. (Don't regret it, Portal 2 is a fantastic game.)
But a friend of mine recently mentioned the pre-order bonuses, which I thought were just costumes, also came with fatalities. So now I'm pretty gutted about having missed out on something more substantial for one of my favourite characters.
So, my question is, have there been any announcements about making the pre-order stuff available as DLC later on?

You are a very generous dude, to be doing this.
I'd like to participate for this one, if I may.

How are endings unlocked in the gallery? I know you see one after facing the final boss in Arcade mode, but is it just the one? Are the rest of your teams endings unlocked as well, or does every single character need to strike a killing blow on the boss?
