@Dgabbor2 [frick] coop, batman works alone should never teamup with anyone in the arkham games. Dont need a shit A.I partner either. Maybe include it for one of the challenge maps, but keep it the [frick] away from the main game

i wish DC would drop it with making batman the central character for every thing they release... i am a batman fan, i love the comics majorly, the films i couldn't give two [frick] about especially the Nolan trilogy. but there are other characters they can use other than batman and joker.

I don't know much about video games in todays world, but this lokks tacky, even to me.
It seems to have nothing to do with the original Infinite Crisis story and that particular story would be a really strange choice to go with, since Flashpoint. Might as well do aZero Hour game, right?
Plus, if they're having a multivers, that's kinda stepping on sacred territory, as far as the die-hard geeks go, so this would have to be set in a specific multiverse. I'd assume, since they're calling it Infinite Crisis, that it would (at least it should) be set in the multiverse that that existed briefly during the Infinite Crisis series. And even then they should get the Earth designations right (as there were many that were listed in that storyline).
This just all seems wrong.
It looks shit and it's an affront to continuity geeks.
I'm trying not to hate on things, but this smells bad.

Im with @DukeAcureds
Since the Xmen's I haven't been huge fan of these over the top style. On top of the fact that they just cram a bunch of characters together not giving each much depth. I would rather them go 3rd person, 8 player online multiplayer. Allowing for team based battles and co-op story where each players is given a specific role and task to accomplish.

DCUO I think was just to large and due to that didn't allow for smooth character animation, the instances were so chaotic it made it hard to enjoy what your character was doing. Think Splinter Cell conviction game play with super powers or better yet Infamous game play with multiplayer and Marvel or DC characters.

This is being produced by Turbine, Inc., a subsidiary of Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. Turbine, is the maker of the recent "Lord of The Rings Online" and "Dungeons and Dragons Online" MMORPG's.

@LEVITIKUZ, I think the next Rocksteady Batman game is coming out this fall.
