Specifically, this freshly released footage is of the "Silent Knight" challenge stage we wrote about in our earlier GDC hands-on. Marvel (er, DC?) as Bats blows up walls, glide kicks and sneaks around all Sam Fisher-like. So, after reading about it and seeing it in action, what do you think?

It's kind of unique how strong Batman is as a playable character. I just find it a little strange when enemies are scared of you.

Is Batman kicking so much ass, he causes colon cancer?
Why do we have colon cancer ads/messages in Joystiq's videos?

I still kinda wish that the art style was more based on the films, since I really dig that, BUUUTTT the gameplay looks really freakin tight. Swooping down on enemies and silently taking each one out in succession looks intuitive and fun!

I was a little excited about this game when I first saw some pics and game play vid's, but after seeing this? WOW, it looks really, really good! That scene looks like tons of fun to play - an excellent way to show off the game. I hope the rest (the story, the "acting") doesn't disappoint like KZ2 has so far (the voice acting seems so... "distant" and disconnected from the game, not to mention just bad).
