Rumor: Mr. Freeze and Talia al Ghul to appear in Arkham Asylum 2
103
The original Batman: Arkham Asylum's large cast of antagonists was awfully daunting for any detective to face off against -- even if that detective has pointy ears and is equipped with exploding Vaseline. Two reports have begun to circulate about the first pair of villains we'll be buffeting with all manner of bat-shaped weaponry in Arkham Asylum 2: Talia al Ghul (daughter of immortal mastermind Ra's al Ghul), and everyone's favorite horrible pun-smith, Mr. Freeze.
According to Gaming Target, Talia's appearance was confirmed on Twitter by her apparent voice actor, "Castle" star Stana Katic -- though any Tweets to that effect have since been pulled. Freeze was similarly confirmed by voice actor Maurice LaMarche (who voiced the latter half of "Pinky and the Brain") in an interview with the GeekCast Radio Network. These certainly seem like reasonable choices for the next game's cast -- however, we're going to pray that if Mr. Freeze is actually included in the game (in a capacity greater than his cameo in the first Arkham Asylum), his dialogue won't sound anything like, well, you know.
[Thanks John!]

While everyone loves the Joker (how can you not?), I think it would be pretty neat-o if they put the main focus on a different villain and continue these games in a giant saga with a new villain for each new game. There's so much they could do with these characters. Endless possibilities.
Also, remember the Riddler level in the SNES Batman game? Imagine these mind-bending puzzle worlds where you're on a giant chess board and such now. They could do that like they did the Scarecrow levels in AA.

Sounds like it'll be cooler than the last game.

I hope they don't run out of funding and be forced to put the game on ice. That's because there's a snowball's chance in Hell I won't buy it.

i think it should be somewhat safe to assume that the riddler will also be in the sequel... as well as killer croc making a return

I hope Scarecrow survived his encounter with Killer Croc in the first game. His sequences of mindf*cks were the best.
