absolutely. Even though I did regret buying Origins' season pass.

I think lithe is more a word I would use to describe a character like Nightwing. But I agree Batman should be more ninja than He-Man. I think I've seen comments to the same effect about Snyder's Batfleck being too chunky. Although I'd say they've scaled down a bit in AK compared to older games rather than continuing to bulk him up.

Looking good. I secretly wish that these guys would tackle a spider-man game

Watched the HD trailer from Gamersyde, and it's just not doing anything for me. The graphics look improved, but it looks like essentially the same dark and dreary city from Arkham City. After loving Arkham Asylum and quitting Arkham City halfway through (and skipping Origins), this just isn't doing anything for me. Really wish they had branched out with more than just "he has the Batmobile and more armor on his suit now."
A new setting would have really helped things out.
I hope other last-gen franchise sequels do something different (Uncharted, I'm looking at you) to really set them apart from what came before.

Looking at this suit the next game should just be Batman Beyond

That was the first thing I noticed as well.
I don't know whether it's a resolution thing, the fact that it's an early build, or if that's just how it looks, but it definitely hurts the overall look of the game.

The new Batman suit is beast. I'd also like to say that I'm excited that they created a new villain with Arkham Knight. Harley Quinn started out as a new villain strictly for the animated series and look how awesome she turned out. My hype level is through the roof for this game.

Yeah, I mean, every villain started out from zero at some point. Why assume that this guy will not be up to snuff?

Coincidentally, I just played the Cold, Cold Heart DLC for Origins this morning and... yeesh. I'll be glad to see Rocksteady back in charge of Batman again.
Nah, he's definitely imposing and bulging especially in the comics. All his proteges are lithe though, wonder why.

Thank God they got Conroy back as Batman.
The guy does that role as superbly, as Mark Hamill did the Joker.

Not that it's saying much, but CCH was the best DLC of the series so far. On topthe of that, it's certainly as good as portions of AA and AC's main game. I've discussed the ins and outs of these games compared to one another at length and have never seen anyone explain how AO is supposedly such a huge step down.
The basic combat balance was somewhat worse in AO without many considerable improvements aside from speeding a few things up. Other than a few changes to combat and overly empty map, the game was still as good as AA, at they very least. Not sure what's so terrble about AO's DLC in particular thay it can be summed up with "yeesh."
Uh, I'm not seeing any chromatic abberation in that trailer?

The dreadful final boss, mainly. Overall it's a fine DLC, same gorgeous production values as the main game, but that final boss was so long, repetitive, awkward and frustrating that it ruined the whole thing retroactively. I honestly don't know how the devs looked at what they'd done and thought it'd be enjoyable to play, even ignoring the lofty standards that Rocksteady set for a Mr Freeze bossfight.
I don't think AO was a bad game or anything, just that it's Arkham City again but everything's a little bit worse. Combat's not as solid, level design is awkward in predator rooms, shock gloves and remote claw unbalance things, stupid upgrade system, glitches all over the joint. The Metroidvania-ness is dropped in favour of linear levels or short inside areas where you walk in the front door, fight guys then walk straight back out the way you came. The basics are all there, of course, and it's a totally decent game, but Rocksteady's Batmans are two of my favourites of the generation and I don't think AO really compares.
Sounds like Montreal was better off making DLC for City.
Maybe it's just the camera angle. I mean her face looks good in the CGI trailer and artwork.
What's up with Harley's face/head looking different in every kind of media she's in? Her look from the concept art is different from the screenshot and that look is different from the CG trailer look.
looks cool but the city looks like is going to be free of civies still, another ghost town only with people who want to beat you up :\
currently snoozing through Origins, this better be different enough in combat and stealth encounters and everything, so tired of those after 3 games, they've not changed much at all. Assassin's Creed games are more diverse in comparison.... lol.
Batmobile alone can pull me back though...

I just noticed the shadow behind Batman at the 1:52 minute mark. Someone is interfering AK's litte party, but who is it? Robin? Nightwing? Gordon? It can't be from Bats or Arkham Knight cause the shadow is moving in the video.
also at the 0:50 mark who is the man who says “What’re you doing?” ?
Edit: Nvm, it's just a cop who says it.
The screen fades to black, Ak clearly doesn't kill Bats there, someone helps Batman, Ak doesn't pull the trigger. It's not Arkham Knights weapon sound we hear in that scene.

I really only believe there are two superheroes that look good with skin-tight / fabric-like outfits and those two are Wolverine and Spider-Man. Everyone else tends to look better armored in my eyes.
What about every properly designed female super hero ever

I think Superman would look dumb in armor, considering he's already the "man of steel"
Superheros like Superman, Thor etc would look dumb with armor I agree, but Batman a regular human being for most intelligent or more agile and whatever needs an armor, not exagerated but still, thats why I think this suit is the best of all, it combines Bruce knowledge with tech mantaining the aspect of inducing fear when seen.

I still like bits of armor or gadgets/accessories to prevent that flat look.
I don't know. I've always liked his Godfall look, which may not exactly be armor, but it kind of has that look to it.
In case this wasn't already posted, the guy who runs the "Batman Arkham Videos" YouTube channel (widely considered to be Batman himself, based on his ridiculously skillful play-throughs of this series) did an analysis of the trailer.

Will they never make a Batman game where his cape actually makes him look imposing like in TAS? Gotham By Gaslight looked promising, but that's about it.
This would never translate to a video game. Also, that hardly looks imposing now that I'm an adult.

That individual is crazy; their 30 second predator room runs are nuts.
Yeah, not one with a realistic art style, at least. I'd pay a decent amount of money for a Walking Dead/Fable-style cartoon-y game mimicking, say, Trevor McCarthy orThe One and Done;113991970 said:
