I don't even think that's part of the batman lore; I think that this is something new.

Nintendo_Ownes7

Because they need a whole city for the criminals and the residents of Gotham City probably wouldn't want to get kicked out of their homes so criminals can be moved in.

Though the story sounds sort've like Escape From New York were they turn a city into a maximum security prison. I like this game already a whole city filled with nothing but criminals.

how can you see my post when I deleted it?!:evil:

Well it came off to me as a section of the city for prisoners. Unless that's what you meant.

From the trailer it looks like Arkham inmates have escaped into the city, which means the title makes perfect sense. Did no one see the trailer?

I'm not digging the name, but I like the direction being taken. Hopefully they make it a more expansive experience instead of just touching up on the AA style of gameplay.

I want the combat to go all out this time. It had a nice feel, and I liked how it was rhythm based and not all that button mashey. That said it was still overly simplistic and not very versatile. Give me some more depth, more moves, more tricks. This is Batman. He maybe a brick, but I'll admit he's a Badass.

can't find it on the dc wiki

As far as I know, Arkham Asylum was too badly damaged after the events of the first game, so they built walls around the worst part of the city, and made it the new arkham.

Eh not really. I mean it's a rather pointless spoiler that really doesn't tell you anything other than "Yo **** happens in Arkham Asylum" :?

It doesn't really matter. Besides, It's not like the asylum is going to look and operate the exact same when all the criminals are roaming free.

The first was so unexpectedly good, think it's a bit unfair to pile AAA hype all over this, but that's what'll happen.
