Da-na nuh-na nuh-na nuh-na Batman!
The sequel to the greatest superhero game of all time launches in four days, and the launch trailer is here to make us salivate one more time before the release. A large chunk of Gotham has been turned into a giant Arkham, and everything is still being run by the inmates. What's new is that the Joker isn't running the show this time, Hugo Strange has somehow managed to take control of the entire "city". There are tons of super villains in Arkham City trying to take over in their own way, though. They include, but aren't limited to, The Joker, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, and many others. Bring on the boss fights.
A couple of things jumped out at me while watching the trailer. First was at about 1:35, you see Batman fighting with a juiced up Bane. If you played Arkham Asylum, you remember beating the tar out of Bane, but I guess he's on your side now. This is kind of funny considering Bane has been announced as one of the main villains in the upcoming Batman flick. Irony at its finest. The second pleasant surprise was seeing a flash of Robin towards the end (not in that way, you pervs). I really hope he becomes a playable character soon.
Anyhow, Arkham City promises to be bigger and badder (in a good way) than Arkham Asylum, and I couldn't be more excited to get my hands on it. Until then I'll be humming the theme song to myself.
