Warner Bros. today confirmed the title and release window for the next Batman videogame developed by Rocksteady Studios. It's called Batman: Arkham City and it's coming next fall to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.



Gotham City has now become the new maximum security "home" for all of the city's criminals. Not much else was revealed. Warner Bros. says the game will feature a brand-new story, include a new cast of classic characters and villains, and new enhanced gameplay features.

"Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security 'home' for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds," read a press release.

"Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight."


Catwoman has been confirmed, and it looks like she might be getting a big role in the story. Check out these new GameInformer covers.






Two other confirmed villains so far are Mr. Freeze, and Talia al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul.


Mark Hamill confirmed it us in an interview last May he'll be reprising his role as the voice of Joker for the game for the last time ever. "This will be my last, there's no question about that," he said. "But it's the last hurrah."




Batman: Arkham City is dated for a late 2011 release.

SPECTACULR

I'm guessing Catwoman may be part of a co-op mode. Makes sense right?

I edited myself some new screensavers

LMFAO Mark Hamill keeps saying "this is my last time playing the Joker, no doubt about it, last hurrahh blah blah blah" yet he keeps showing up to play these animated Joker characters in the DC animated movies and in these games.


He's like Brett Favre retiring and then unretiring over and over and over again.

Just stop with the drama, keep playing the Joker as long as you can. He's a great character and Hamill does it the best. Why leave that?

There better be some free roam thrown in there. You should be able to glide off rooftops, and drive the Batmobile as well

Still, this game will be AWESOME!!! :))

ASSASSIN666- I highly doubt that. But it's what i've been praying for ever since Arkham Asylum came out!!!

@unfriendly

UnfriendlySpidey - 8/5/2010, 11:45 AM
@ThaBatman really? idk dude he's got moles and wrinkles and he even sounds old in his laugh, like the crazy old geezer in movies... but Harley DOES look just like she did in AA, then again you don't see her face...either way I'm happy :D

@ UnfriendlySpidey
I think the Joker looks like that as a result of him juicing up with Venom.... it has to be a side effect or something. Plus he still looks beaten to hell from good 'ol Bats!
