I love the challenges, but the Invisible Predator trophies are completly screwing me over. I just can figure out how to do some of them, like knocking out 3 inmate with 3 different walls at the same time.

Wow, that's some truly impressive sales.
And that's awesome glitch to put in pirated copies. Fucking epic. It's like something Bruce Wayne would do

Looks like what we were hoping for. And it's nice to see that
That being said- a new thread can be made if needed.

Joker's face is still pretty fucked up from that explosive punch to the face. God only knows how Harley got out, hopefully she'll pose a bigger threat this time. I'm also wondering who really grabbed the Titan at the end...

So using this thread for the time being, I decided to pull some screenshots. Spoiler tagged, cause the images are really big. Enjoy.

First off, we've got the newly moved Arkham. Note that this time, it's on the outside, as you can read the lettering, there's a cop car outside, and a Wrong Way / No Thru Street sign.
As things pan back, it reveals that Arkham's now in a more downtown location. This makes it seem like you'll be crawling through the city, and dragging the various scum from Gotham back to jail.
As it moves in to the various crimes going on, there's "Long Live Joker" tagged onto one of the buildings where all the other Clown Thugs are.
Possible Villain Clue: The Iceberg Lounge. Owned by Penguin. A little hint that he could be appearing in the game.
Possible Villain Clue: "We Want You" poster featuring Two-Face.
(more clear version from the website). Showing the two-tone clothes, although the face is mostly obscured, you can see his chin is a burned red on the left half.
As we can see, Harley is back, and tending for her man. God only knows how she got out, or if she's gonna pose a real threat this time around. Though I didn't show any images, they're in an abandoned Amusement Park (with a possible dead guy in a bumper car).
Aaaaand the Clown Prince of Anarchy himself. Face still messed up from his Titan injection at the end of the first game, and he's hooked up to some blood from Gotham General (in an IV in his left arm just below screen).

I was kinda hoping they would pull out a different Batman villain to be the main in 2 actually. tho it's good to see Joker back.

I hope he doesn't do a Saw film in this one. I'd like to see him in competition with Two-face and the other rogues who werent in The Game that time.
And I came... for the fact that now we're gonna actually be Batman and stalk the entire city, ride the wonderful bat mobile and throw batarangs at oblivious mooks for the lulz and they won't notice.

I'm kind of hoping they don't turn it into an open world game. Part of Arkham Asylum's charm was the fact that it felt very claustrophobic and linear enough to keep the narrative well-paced and coherent.
Plus I'd guarantee that they wouldn't be able to replicate the intimate level of detail they applied to Arkham over the whole city. This would also cause me to become sad and angry that the sequel just isn't as good. Which ruins my tradition of games with a '2' on the end being held in extremely high regard.

For all we know, it's probably just as big as The Narrows from the Nolan verse, not really No Man's Land big. I'm sure the guys can think of something or there might be a better software to imrpove the grapics.

Yeah, I'm not convinced they won't ruin the atmosphere from the first by making it sandboxy to any degree. I hope I'm wrong, but meh, the insane amount of detail in Arkham and the intense atmosphere just seems difficult to translate effectively to this type of setting.

I was as well, but it's not 100% that Joker's going to be the main man here. I don't doubt that he'll play a big part, but I'm thinking that Joker & Harley were dropped in to tie things in place, as the aftermath of the events of Arkham Asylum will mostly be people rallying around him & him recouping his forces (depending on how far off it is). Seeing Mr. Dent on the arkhamhasmoved site makes me think that Joker's role may not be the main / big bad here. Though he would want some revenge, he's not really in any shape to do much aside from put things in motion & pull strings, which he's pretty good at.
I think that the biggest question is what's Batman up against? Is he just tracking down all the escaped inmates, or have some of them set up traps for him out in an area of Gotham near the new Asylum,
since Ivy essentially made the first one unusable
As I'd mentioned earlier, I fully agree that it should be kept to the same overall playstyle, because that's a big part of what made the game enjoyable. Detective Mode will probably play a big part out in the open, and everything may be a bit more difficult to decipher this time. I don't think they'd miss the opportunity to tell a good story, and just leave you sandbox wandering the streets of Gotham.
