I think the game looks good so far...except for Batmans legs where they join at the hip. WTF is going on there???

I can't buy this game because Robert Downey Jr. said "f@&k DC Comics".... He also said The Dark Knight was stupid :D

This will probably be good, one of the few good superhero games coming out, besides Web Of Shadows which is going to be the best spiderman game to date

Yeah why not for the Wii? I'm sure even Batman has some waggle in his utility belt.

Seeing all the pictures there, this looks quite good. This could be the best Batman videogame ever.

Hell yeah, it's saying much! Didn't you ever play Batman Forever on Genesis?

Goddamn Batman Forever on Genesis...I had that one, back when digitizing actors was the "in" thing for developers to do. The best part of that game was the semi-creepy music paired with the ridiculous "win" animations that the enemies would do when they killed you...particularly the one for the strongman enemy that repeatedly yelled "YEAH!" in an orc-like voice.

ZUG ZUG! YEAHHHH!

How about the sweet control that was like playing MOrtal Kombat 2 on an adventure game? Or having to pull off special moves to use the gadgets? Good times, good times...

Killer Croc appears to be along the same lines as the model that was used in Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's Batman: Hush story arch. This game looks like it will be great.

Um... that might be because Wildstorm (The ones doing the style for this game) is OWNED and art directed by Jim Lee... who illustrated Batman: Hush.

If this game isn't close to top notch, I'll let the two dudes in picture 4 do me.

Looks hot. But we've all been burned by promo screenshots before. I hope they can actually pull it off in the final game.

Ugh. It seems almost every game using Unreal Engine 3 looks the same. I thought a few of those screen were from DC vs MK, or GOW1 & 2, or Batman vs 50Cent...

Yeah same here.
Clearly it is going to be a popular engine for a while, but a lot of the games made with Unreal 3 look disturbingly similar in art style too.
Maybe that is just coincidental or me over-inflating vague visual similarities.

Apart from that...
I'm just glad the joker is a puny psycho.

My main worry would be that the devs would make every villain hugely fricken buff beyond any reasonable standard. For me that is just a big aesthetic no-no. Sure killer croc should be huge and the enemies shouldn't look frail and malnourished, but Batman fights are often more about dexterity and acrobatics than overpowering the enemy with pure brawn because Batman, and strangely enough everyone else in the game, has the body frame of a world-class linebacker.

End point: I just don't want the equivalent of Marcus Fenix with a Batman mask.
