According to gonintendo.com, here are some interesting tidbits on the game:
- Bane can now team up with Batman for a series of sub-missions that involve tracking down shipments of chemical contraband.
-New gadget editions, including the Remote Electrical Charge (REC) (shown in image below) that is a shotgun variant that shoots an instant spark to knock enemies back, or electrocute armor-wearing baddies. Enemies with machine guns will have their clips emptied into the crowd when shot with the REC. The gun can also charge up some machines and help transform metal scraps into magnets.
- 4 hours worth of Catwoman gameplay.
- Main path storyline in Arkham City is bigger than Arkham Asylum.
- You can fail a side-quest and still return to it later if you decide that you need and have gained better items/weapons.
