Thanks to Comingsoon.net for sharing this with us.

The original was considered by many reviewers to be the best comic book based video game of all time (not that there has ever been much competition in that genre).  This looks to top it.  I’m reserving my copy, and I recommend you do the same.

Take a look at the clip below and weigh in.

Batman Arkham City trailer 2

Here is the trailer for the new Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer.  It looks, well, amazing.  Check it out.

Thanks to DC Universe  for sharing the images with us.  I’m assuming that the redhead in the wheelchair is the former (and original) Batgirl Barbara Gordon.  You can thank the Joker for the wheelchair as his bullet to her spine put a damper on her career in costumed crimefighing.  But now as Oracle she assists Batman and the kids remotely via computer.

The Penguin:  I’ve got faith that Nolan could take a character as misrepresented as old Oswald and make him the badass weapons-dealing mob boss I know he can be.  Maybe have the guys on his crew call him Penguin behind his back. 

Or as an alternative, at least have him as an opening scene character, showing how outlandish the villains in Gotham have become thanks to the antics of Bats and the Joker in The Dark Knight. 

The Penguin

Two Face:  Commissioner Gordon exclaimed that Dent was dead at the end of the Dark Knight (Spoiler?  I think not.  If you haven’t seen The Dark Knight by now you deserved it) but he didn’t say anything about Two Face.  As far as his political career was concerned the person that was Harvey was dead.  And Commish and Bats of course would want it to stay that way, not wanting to sully their friend’s memory with what he’d become.  I’d love to see him break out of Arkham and make his rise to power.  Maybe bring a few familiar faces with him.

Two Face

Catwoman:  Batman takes a break, tired of what he’s become after Dent’s “death” (I still don’t buy it) and in his absence, another takes his place.  She’s a bit more of a vigilante, maybe stealing from the crooks she nabs.  Can’t deny her results, but the ends don’t really justify the means.  She and Batman cross paths, don’t see eye to eye and disagree with the other’s methods, but can’t deny what a great team they make.  Nolan could really run with Selina and make the character as great as she was meant to be (no offense to Halle or Michelle, but looking hot in black leather does not a Catwoman make).

Catwoman

The Riddler:  I think this rumor is going to prove to be the most accurate.  And in an age where the internet is everywhere and identity theft, cyber bullying, and our total reliance on the electronic media are part of everyday life, he’s the perfect choice.  Nolan could recreate him as a brilliant sociopathic hacker who decides to target Batman after he unwittingly foils one of Nigma’s plots.   This has been the most prevalent character name dropped at the mention of Batman’s 3rd installment, with an ever-growing host of actors supposedly “up” for the role (Doctor Who?  Really?)  If I had a decent paycheck, I’d be putting it down on the Riddler for the next movie.

The Riddler

Harley Quinn:  I think this one’s not going to work so well without the Joker to play off, but I’ve got faith that if Chris decides to add her into the mix (and don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved Harley since day one) he’ll make her unforgettable.

Harley Quinn

The Ventriloquist / Scarface:  Mostly because it’s never been done (as far as I know) on film, although Paul Dini did a fantastic job with the character(s) on the Animated Series, I’d like to see what Nolan could do with them.  It would definitely as an opening fight character only.  As with what I said earlier, maybe showing how the criminals have taken a page from Batman’s book.  The Detective may be Gotham’s savior, but he’s also the reason most of the rogues gallery is around in the first place.

Ventriloquist / Scarface

 Poison Ivy:  Starting to get into the “suspension of belief” type characters that may be just too outlandish for the world that Nolan’s created for his version of Batman.  She’s always been one of my favorites and I hated what happened to her in her first big screen appearance.  I really liked her in the Animated Series and loved how she was portrayed in the Arkham Asylum game.  I’d love to see what Nolan could do with her.  Who knows, maybe a Gotham Girls big screen debut is in the works?
