i think i do too much wandering around and admiring the environment...
that's why it took me forever to beat uncharted 1 the first time.

^ You're a terrible Korean-Batman, JMT. 
Put it this way, while you're picking your nose and smelling the roses on Arkham Island, the Joker's running the entire place to the ground. Is that what a real Batman would allow to happen? IS IT...?!??

i'm at work. i will when i get home.
ANYWAYS, to keep the thread on topic, i'm surprised they're releasing a sequel so soon. unless it's for 2011, not 2010.
or maybe they've been planning this for a long time.

Regardless, I'm hyped. One of the best games out right now gets a sequel!
That being said, the sooner the better...because for effs sakes, Polyphony sure can take some goddamn notes here on releasing something in a TIMELY FASHION.

Smoke free since 2/26/07
Can't wait for this game...The first AA was one of the best game I have ever played. I wish for them to bring in some new villains this time around (Penguin, Two-face, Catwoman etc) and make the game longer. Let's hope that they announce a release date for this puppy soon...

And I'm thankful for it...It seems that all of the games I love gets a sequel every other year (Gears, Halo, Modern Warfare), yet the games I really don't care for gets/or used to get sequels almost on a yearly basis (The Splinter Cell series). Again, I can't wait for this game and wish that would this one longer
You don't like the Splinter Cell Series??!I'll admit though, the XBOX 360 version of Double Agent sucked, so I took it back and got the XBOX version instead. Pandora Tomorrow was ok, but overall I really love the series.

Excellent! I am hoping some of the other villains we saw through detective activities in the first one actually show up (looking at you Two-Face)!

More villains announced...from IGN:
Two more villains have been confirmed for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2.
Voice actor Maurice LaMarche, who previously voiced Brain in Animaniacs and Egon Spengler in The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, confirmed on the GeekCast Radio podcast he'll be providing the voice for Mr. Freeze in the upcoming sequel.
"Videogames is hard work, I'll say that," LaMarche said. "I've only done a handful, and I'm very lucky right now, I'm about to go in and do Mr. Freeze for Arkham Asylum 2."
LaMarche couldn't go into much detail about the character, but did say Mr. Freeze will be very, very angry.
"To tell you the truth, I think, contractually, I can't. I've got to keep it under wraps," he said when asked to talk about the character. "As for Mr. Freeze's role in the game, he's out for blood right now because... I can't tell you the situation, but he's actually somewhat of a sympathetic character within the framework of the game."
Actor Stana Katic, star of ABC's Castle, also confirmed via her Twitter account she'll be voicing Talia al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul.
"Just recorded a character voice on the next Batman videogame. Never did that before," she wrote. "For those who were asking: I'm voicing Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Ra al Ghul (played by Liam Neeson in "Batman Begins")." Her posts have since been deleted, but not before LeagueOfComicGeeks.com could snag a screenshot.
The list of villains continues to grow. Over the weekend, Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy confirmed Two-Face would also be in the game. Conroy also said Arkham Asylum 2 will be "really, really dark."

As if Arkham Asylum weren't sprawling enough, get ready for Batman: Arkham City, Warner Bros. Interactive's ostensibly metropolitan sequel to its 2009 blockbuster action game.
When's it coming? Fall 2011, for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, according to developer Rocksteady Games. If you want to see the new dedicated website, that just launched, too.
Where's it take place? Why Gotham City, of course, but not the city entire. If you caught the teaser trailer released last December (now viewable on the official site) you witnessed the camera panning away from everyone's favorite tumbledown loony bin and wending its way through the junked-up city streets of Gotham itself, implying something epic on the scale of, oh, Grand Theft Auto.
Well not quite. It turns out 'Arkham City' is just Gotham's new "maximum security home" for all the city's super-villainous ne'er-do-wells, a slice of the city with "heavily fortified walls" somewhere near the heart of it all.
We should probably be thankful the developer isn't trying to mimic Rockstar here. We know how well that turned out for Treyarch with all those territorially shallow Spider-Man games.
Popping up in the sequel, expect to see Joker, of course (voiced by Mark Hamill for the last time), but also a few majors absent (or incorporeally present) in the prior game, e.g. Catwoman, Mr. Freeze (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), Talia al Ghul (Ra's al Ghul's daughter, voiced by Stana Katic), Two-Face, and The Riddler.
New story, check. New gadgets, check. Vague gameplay details and absent screenshots, check and check.
And fall 2011? Over a year to wait? That's just pitiless, Warner Bros.
