Warner's plan from here is to publish more Batman games plus other titles "based on widely recognised Warner Bros. brands". After the company's recent spending splurge, these include properties like Mortal Kombat and The Lord of the Rings.

They get access to Blade Runner, Superman, The Matrix and maybe a new Sheep Dog and Wolf :shock:

Lord of the Rings? could be interesting to see what they can make from the franchise, hopefully an Oblivion syle game. Also more batman games is always a plus, as Arkham Asylum was fantastic fun.

That is brilliant news. I wonder what else they'll do as well as AA2. Exciting. :mrgreen:

Other than adding to the moves that Batman does when you pull off a finisher thing and such, I hope they don't even touch the combat system. It's nigh on perfect.

As for the stealth sections, they need a complete overhaul, and I don't wanna see any of that charge-batargang-dive rubbish either.

More villains outed

Good to see two of those villains in. I can't wait to see what Freeze and Two Face look like. :wub:

Regarding Blade Runner, aren't most of the Rights held between Bud Yorkin and Jerry Perenchio ?

Excellent interview with Mark Hamill talking about his involvement with the game and how he was 'the one' for the role. Really passionate about it actually, which is really good to see.

Interestingly he says this will be the last time he plays The Joker...speculate away. Does The Joker get it in Arkham Asylum 2 or, battered and bruised, does he go away for a while and come back later with a different personality? Does he die or does he survive and flee?

Didn't he say the same after the first game?

I've never been an indepth Batman fan, so all these characters are new to me.

me too. I am looking forward to this

The Joker won't die.

Excited about this!

Like Songwriter I don't really know much about the Batman Universe so uncovering the villain biographies was really interesting (even if most of them are just standard criminals in a funny suit). Calendar Man though. :fp:

I'm hoping for more Scarecrow bits particularly since his hand grabbed the Titan at the end of the first game.

That was just random, for me it was Bane, and for someone else its Killer Croc.

Oh. Maybe they're all back then? I'd definitely prefer Scarecrow over Killer Croc, his bits were pretty rubbish. Bane had been and gone before I'd even got used to the game so there should be more of him too.

Arkham Asylum 2 domains offer clues

War in Gotham City? Stop Mayor Sharp? Batman grand delusion?

Hamil just doesn't want to do it anymore as I recall. which is a shame because he really does it so well. :wub:

Edit: After reading the interview it seems I'm completely wrong, no idea where I got that idea from. :lol:

Happy to hear that Freeze is in and they're going with the sympathetic villain role started in TAS. Is Paul Dini writing again?

I was really disappointed that this wasn't at E3. It was pretty much all I wanted to see.

Too true.

First Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 details in next OXM and OPM

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/ar ... ?id=258313

2nd September!? That's ages away!

I wouldn't be surprised to see all the information scheduled in OPM & OXM appear sooner - you can usually guarantee the Yanks will have it first.
