great,the first one was brilliant
can't wait for the sequel

I really dont like to see the Joker all sick like that. So doenst suit him. Hopefully he gets better, so that he can laugh and play as much as he wants without harm.

Damn...I think i belong in Arkham for saying that.

The original B:AA was a great game, but I wish you had the ability to use guns. It's ridiculous that they didn't let you tbh. Just at one point in the game they should have gone "Here's a bad ass weapon, go to town on those cretins", it would have made the game awesome source. Ok scrap that, it would have ruined the balance completely. But still, a silenced pistol would have been nice.

I have high hopes for the sequel, hope it can improve on the original and fix those few areas where it fell down in.

i don't remember when batman have used a gun?
in my opinion i don't want that to happen

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

Anyone who knows anything about Batman knows that he hates guns because his parents were killed by them. He swore he'd never use lethal weapons to take down enemies.

[Quagmire]

Batman has never killed anyone, or not on purpose. He doesnt believe in violence as a means of death, but rather as a way of enforcing the law. If he was to use guns, the Joker would be dead within the second Bat caught sight of him.

[Voiceofsoi]

Batman used a gun in his first two appearances in Detective comics, but he never fires it, he basically points it at the culprits to make a citizen's arrest, which gives him the time to monologue about how he figured the whole thing out.

[Ri0tSquad]

Guns? Silenced pistols? Haha. That would be funny and very awkward.

@ dark-hollow

From what I remember, on very, very rare occasions.

HE IS A WEAPON, HE DOESN'T NEED GUNS. The combat mechanic in AA was fantastic imo.

[keltickennedy]

Are you being serious? Firstly, Batman doesn't use guns or kill. Secondly, that would of completely ruined the game and pulled many people out of the experience of "playing as Batman". Lastly, one of the things that made the game so refreshing to play was the excellent hand to hand combat, combined with the use of non-lethal gadgets, especially in a time where we see so many games that are just shooters.

Great to learn more about the first was a good game.

announcing an announcement -.-

[Wizziokid]

Can't wait to hear/see more on this, loved the first game, was my personal GOTY 2009

[Dungus]

The weight and massive crunch behind the combat (not to mention how effortlessly flowing it was) of the first Batman actually made me hate the comparatively flimsy Assassin's Creed 2. That's how good it was.

Screw it, i'm going to play it again. RIGHT NOW.

[Tres21]

yea i hope i get 2 read this, u kno if either my OXM or OPM shows up from Amazon on that deal they had....yea im lookin at u Amazon & no im not just point wit this finger either

[Noobasaurus_REX]

Combat challenge room trophies PLEASE

[OGharryjoysticks]

If it's all fighting the same looking bulky enemy again I might actually pass this time because as cool as the game was it got very annoying how enemy variety was so minimal. Unless....Arkham isn't really an asylum...it's a cloning facility.

Can't wait :D
