A few reviews are out already, two of them (Game Informer and PS Magazine) giving them a 10/10 and IGN gave it a 9.5/10. (Spoiler in case you want to watch the review!)
EDIT: Silly me, there are actually already about 15 reviews, most of them giving it a 10/10 and the lowest being 8.5/10. Fuck Destructoid for giving it 8.5.
Seems really promising and I can't wait to get my hands on this game.
And holy shit, there are over 400 riddler challenges. Goddamn Riddler!
EDIT: Forgot to embed the launch trailer too, which is awesome.

I got it today, but found out that I need an Xbox Live account to get Catwoman.
Baaaaaalls.

Oh well, Catwoman is still in cutscenes when needed so whatever
this game is ballin'.

I played this for about a half hour last night at a friend's. Fuck, I need a job. With this out now and Skyrim looming over the horizon, I'm gonna have no damn time.
I'd say Scarecrow is a good candidate for the next game. Him or Bane.
It couldn't be the same Scarecrow as in AA/AC, though. He's got the intimidation factor of a dumb teenager with a sharp twig. Nice design, but really, he wasn't actually frightening.
Well, Bane, Joker and Two-Face are the most important Batman villains.

Firefly!...if they did that I would die laughing.
Actually, better yet, The Ventriloquist.(I think I spelled that correctly...) That'd be hilariously awesome. But, I think it's gonna be Hush.

And Ra's is likely, what with the Lazarus pits and all. And Hush is not that shitty, lol In fact, he's a good match for bats intellectually and physically. I'm still surprised how underused Strange was though...

Ra's is a different kind of villain for a different kind of game. It's like calling Darksied a Superman villain.
And, believe me, I collected the Hush story as it came out. He's shitty.

Well, Ra's is already in City, so it's likely he'll at least return. And personal qualms aside, who else is a proper match? Unless they worked in Jason Todd as the red hood, but he's no villain...Just horribly misguided and changed by the Lazarus pits. This is actually pretty hard, given how many villains there are. I do hope Nightwing is REALLY apart of the game next time. Robin should get more face time as well. What's with the lack of face time for these characters? Did Chris O'neil really fuck it up that badly? lol

The implication being that the next game will probably use Bane or Two Face as the main villain.
You know, implicit meaning. So you don't have to spell it out.

I still think Scarecrow would be the best main villain out of those guys. Bane and Two-Face should definitely play a bigger role and Killer Croc could appear too. (The easter egg hinted that Killer Croc is now free of the collar and moving in Gotham's sewers. )

I'm always open to reading more bats. Any particular highlights that show bane as a competent main? Not just "I break you"? lol
From page 1 of the first volume of Nightfall to where Azrael beats him in volume two.
Then pick up Knightsend because Bruce Wayne retaking the cowl from Jean-Paul Valley is magnificent.
Shame both Bane and Azrael became utter shit after.

I will have to give them a look. And at least Azrael is foreshadowed for Arkham 3, and thus far Arkham presents the characters brilliantly, even if some are hideously underutilized.

Azrael's side mission was actually pretty interesting. Maybe the end of the mission hinted at a future story DLC with the "Dark days are coming. The prophecy is coming true" and how he suddenly disappears and says that you'll meet again.
That and Hush getting away, among other hints towards dlc or the sequel.Not to mention clay face falling into the lazarus pit.. That cannot bode well. I hope the next takes place in Gotham in all it's glory. I wanna break up robberies and save people batman style, dammit. That and I don't know where you go from arkham city.
