Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
They are going all in on the bullshots I see.

So no civilians or cars on the streets? This takes place in regular Gotham, not some locked down criminal zoo, no?
If it was headed to next gen consoles, they would have mentioned it already, I think. With the rumors strongly suggesting that Rocksteady's next game being for next gen, there's little reason for this to be the franchise's debut on the PS4 and Durango.
It's called PC version.

Bloodborne is shit
I disagree. They should probably keep quiet for now and get all the sales they can upfront with the current gen. Then a few months into next gen, drop in some quick ports, charge full price and tack on a few more sales.
Dem late ports.
No mention of Deathstroke for Wii U and it's missing from the box.
This is some bullshit really wiiu is capable of DLC assasinscreed has it

Who's doing the soundtrack for this game? I hope it's the same person that did Asylum and AC. They're so damn good.
Looks as if the screens are supersampled a ton though, so probably technically still bullshots.
That would make sense business wise.

The italian version has it.

oh oh oh
Well.. Bruce lost his parents, son and many close friends, it's was just a matter of time he snap and start killing people left and right.
ctrl + f batmobile
Really wish they would implement the batmobile and batcycle in these games now that they're open world. Gliding's great, but driving could be amazing too.

Love these batman games. Can't wait for this one, hope it doesn't suck without Rocksteady.

Or it's running on SEGA Mercury, their secret re-entry into the console race and next-next-gen console. Mercury, you've ever been this close to the sun! Graphics that melt your face off!

There were propane tanks in City as well. They only result in knockdowns when they explode.

Tying the thug to the cannister a bit like in Just Cause 2. Not sure if it'll have explosive results or not.
Because Batman doesn't kill. >_>

They did say he was more ruthless and just starting off his work as Batman. He's not as alert or able to kick ass all around him just yet so he needs to resort to more clumsy tactics. He's not the veteran he is later and if he ran in to fight them hand to hand he'd likely die.
Under the sea, the bats have capes for wings. I know. I know...

Makes sense.
flyable?
the batmobile was in the first game too but you couldn't use it
(granted you didn't need to)
I hope for the exact same thing.
The italian version has it.
mmm... the color seems weird? is that real? or a bad photoshop?
Don't jinx it or we might end up getting this:
This was real? I always thought was a joke. Wow.

Can someone explain what this game is? It's not made by Rocksteady anymore right? But it's a continuation of the Arkham games? Didn't they announce this game and a 2D game alongside it? I feel like playing all the Arkham games now. Dat boxart.

Well, I'm kinda hyped. Early Years Batman sounds pretty badass. And the character designs here are awesome.
That looks pretty fuckin' awesome.

It's a prequel. You got everything else correct.

Cautiously optimistic about this one. I thought asylum was amazing. City not so much because the story was stupid and your choices worked against the narrative completely and deflated any sense of urgency.

Is that the Court of Owls?

I'll admit to being sceptical at first, but I'm getting more and more convinced this is going to be good.
And Black Mask is the main villain. He's like, my second favourite villain (behind Hush.)

Have you never seen Wii U boxes during the launch time? It has to do with color coding and the image format used. When I tried uploading the regular non-eye-cancer-inducing blue box arts to the giant bomb wiki for example, they all turned out like that ugly Italian box because the source file was a .tiff file.
This is what all Wii U game cases look like:
