Pretty much this. I can't think of anything to add.

I'm a bit apprehensive about the multiplayer (will need to hear more details), but still optimistic and will probably be one of my favourite games this year.

Hows the first game for someone whos not particularly a fan of batman? I know the gameplays solid

Second. An open world game works as good as its transport methods.

With driving the batmovile confirmed to not be on the game, how else are you gonna move through the open world? Swinging around? This is a Batman game, not Spiderman.

Hmm wonder how they will do the multiplayer! :D

Lookin good cant wait to play it!

Thats exactly me (Although i did love Batman of the Future).

first game fo It's a very solid game on its own right, but a lot of its impact was due to it perfecting the feeling of being Batman on a videogame. But since there isn't a single person that isn't a fan of Batman, that shouldn't be an issue :]IronBass

The last Batman game i played was on the Game Gear. Think it was pretty awesome.

Ive looked around and GOTY edition is £10 more than standard. Is the extra content worth it?

you're lying to yourself if you dont think it'd be cool to explore the entirety of a fully realized 3D gotham city. its about time we got to do that. flying around as superman in superman returns was AWESOME, and that game sucked.

Well, technically it did.

That's because flying is an integral part of what makes Superman Superman. Exploring Gotham is not the same for Batman.

Arkham Asylum (and Arkham City) focused on exactly what makes Batman Batman, which is great hand to hand combat, stealth-taking down enemies, doing detective work (even solving the Riddler's riddles!) and the use of cool gadgets.

That's what most people expect Batman to do, not patrulling the city to stop a random car theft =S

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Arkham Asylum DID have an open world.Cherokee_Jack

c'mon man. you know it wasnt the type of open world game i'm talking about here

What I think you're trying to say is that it wasn't a very large open world. which is true. It's a Metroid-styIe open world, which it kind of needs because it's a Metroid-styIe game. Nothing about the current gameplay would benefit from having you in a full city (especially since that means you don't go indoors)

After playing batman AA i just want more from Rocksteady thats it

I only just last night got around to unwrapping the first game after it sitting on the shelf for a fair while, I have been nothing but impressed so far, seems to be the classiest comic hero game I have played (Mark Hamill is great).
