Lemme guess casuarab, you didn't even get all the toddler trophies?

That wasn't my point hippiebengali.

I liked the riddler trophies and thought it was a smart part of the game.

However, I felt that the Riddler was downplayed as a character and ultimately sidelined. I want him to be a bigger part of the game.

Damn! The new screenshots make the game look sexy as hell!

VIDEO GAMES: Tons of More Details Unfold for BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT

Quote :

Expect to see rain trickling down Batman's cape as he glides through the city.
The rain will accumulate on the streets of Gotham as time passes by. Along with this, city night lights will reflect off the puddles that form.
When Batman's breaks through a window, shards of glass spread everywhere.
Gotham City is much more vibrant and alive. The amount of people and light has dramatically increased.
The main section of the map is called "Gotham Proper." This is where you will see a massive amount of people and tall skyscrapers.
It will be much easier to find your way around the city this time around.
There are 3x as many hidden riddler challenges than Arkham City.
There are new goons that are stronger and smarter.
Along with Batman, enemies can also use the environment to their advantage.
A new counter attack allows Batman to pick up the enemy and throw him, doubling the damage. This can only be done if you move the left-stick towards the attacker.
If you are fast enough, you can pick up an enemy and throw him into another goon.
While inside the Batmobile, there will be no mini-map provided. Instead, you can set a waypoint and highlighted tyre-tracks will appear on the road, leading you to your destination.
Car tuning will apply for the Batmobile.
The campaign is comprised of multiple side-missions which all come together to make a cohesive story.
All loose ends from Arkham City will come to a full circle. This includes the Hush and Azrael stories.
The Arkham Knight's cowl is very robotic looking. There are hints of Prometheus, Wrath, and Jason Todd in his suit.
Like Batman: Year One or Batman Begins, you will be able to use bats to your advantage.
[SPOILERS] Batman takes a goon out of a van and says: "If you lie, I'll break your other one too." The goon replies: "Other what?" Batman then breaks his arm.
During a conversation between Batman and Oracle, a reference to The Killing Joke will be made.

How would Riddler even work, this isn't Twisted Metal.

Arkham Knight revealed!

Quote :

To mark the milestone 75th anniversary of DC Comics’ Batman, Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment have revealed plans for a year-long celebration befitting the world’s most popular Super Hero. Highlights of the anniversary program, which starts today, include a new commemorative 75th anniversary Batman logo and an exclusive “Cape/Cowl/Create” art exhibit, featuring 20 contemporary artists’ interpretation of The Dark Knight’s iconic cowl headpiece and cape from the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight videogame. There will also be 75th anniversary-related activities across all of Warner Bros. Entertainment throughout the year.

First appearing in the comic book Detective Comics #27, which hit newsstands on March 30, 1939, featuring artwork by Bob Kane and a script by Bill Finger, Batman emerged from the shadows to become the world’s most popular Super Hero and dominate all media. In feature films, TV shows, radio, video games, publishing and merchandise, this most human of Super Heroes has battled some of fiction’s greatest villains using his intellect, cunning and an arsenal of gadgets to further his quest for justice.

“Batman is an incredibly important property with multi-generational appeal across all of the Studio’s businesses, and we’re proud to celebrate this milestone anniversary,” said Kevin Tsujihara, Chief Executive Officer, Warner Bros. Entertainment. “From billion-dollar blockbuster films to TV, home entertainment, video games and consumer products, The Dark Knight continues to resonate with audiences worldwide and rightfully deserves his place as a global pop culture icon for the ages.”

Batman is the single most successful Super Hero film franchise in history and there have been more theatrical movies released based on Batman than any other comic book character. In video games, the Batman Arkham franchise is also the most successful Super Hero game concept ever. Batman consistently breaks records in every incarnation of his character and remains the gold standard by which all other comic book sales are measured.

“Batman is one of the greatest characters ever created, in comics or elsewhere, and even after 75 years he continues to wildly fascinate fans. He is an integral part of pop culture and has successfully captured the imagination of the entire world,” said Diane Nelson, President of DC Entertainment and President & Chief Content Officer, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The origin of Batman, Bruce Wayne and the famous citizens of Gotham are legendary and likely a story you know inside out, even if you’ve never picked up a comic book in your life, and that speaks volumes to the character’s immense popularity and the constructs of the original mythology.”

The first published adventure of The Bat-Man (as he was then known) was in the May 1939 issue of Detective Comics #27, conceived of and drawn by a 22-year-old Kane with his frequent collaborator, Bill Finger, scripting the story. The character was so successful, that one year later the first comic book devoted exclusively to the Caped Crusader’s adventures, Batman #1, hit newsstands. In that issue, Batman battled The Joker and Catwoman for the first time.

Now, DC Entertainment and the Studio’s various divisions, including Pictures, Television, Animation, Interactive Entertainment, Home Entertainment and Consumer Products, will mark this extraordinary 75th anniversary with a range of highly anticipated events and products.

The new commemorative logo, also released today across social media and websites, takes its cue from the famed Bat symbol, and features block-style lettering of “75 Years.” The mark will be rolled out on Batman-related promotions, products and initiatives.

Key activities planned for the Batman 75th anniversary celebration include:

New52BatmanDC Entertainment – DC Entertainment has an action-packed year filled with new Batman titles, commemorative issues and variant covers, including the recently released special edition of Detective Comics #27 commemorating Batman’s first appearance in the book in 1939, the new weekly series Batman Eternal launching April 9, and upcoming exclusive Batman variant covers planned for San Diego Comic-Con International in July.

Batman Day – DC Entertainment is also partnering with thousands of comic retailers, book stores and libraries for “Batman Day” on Wednesday, July 23. Each location will host a Batman 75th anniversary celebration and offer fans a free, special edition Batman comic.

Interactive Entertainment – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has invited celebrated fashion designer Asher Levine to create a cape and cowl based on the Batsuit of the recently announced Batman: Arkham Knight videogame developed by Rocksteady Studios. Favorite contemporary artists will have the opportunity to use the replicas as a blank canvas to produce their own, original interpretations of Batman’s iconic attire for an all new “Cape/Cowl/Create” art exhibit that will be showcased at San Diego Comic-Con International in July.

Home Entertainment – Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will bring fans an array of new Batman titles throughout the year, including the highly anticipated release of the Batman ’66 TV series for the first time ever.

Batman is 75 years old but he still looks so young. Guys, I think Batman is a vampire. He's a recluse, he prefers the darkness, and he loves bats.

Here's more photos:

When is it Spider-Man's anniversary, or is that already gone?

@Orion Spidey is 52y/o. Marvel will probably do something for the 55th. I know it's Marvel 75th this year too though.

Ugh, the villain looks badass. Like if Batman fused with Predator or something.
