Does it have to be Quinn and The Joker again? Either way, hopefully it'll be a day 1.

Insert infidelity joke sure, but I don't care, that's a fitting depiction of my reaction.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Wow, VGA actually delivered on something good. One of the best games I played this year.

 

[GeeDuhb]

WOOOOOOOO! So excited, as I really enjoyed the first.

And to you people saying it is "too soon" (and yes, I have not seen the trailer yet, so correct me if I am wrong) I am sure this is just a "teaser" trailer and the game wont be out until at least August of next year.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

was the Joker...sick?

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: THE VIDEO GAME???????????

 

[Milk Lizard]

FUCK YES GOTHAM

 

[RagnarokX]

To be honest, I just felt like everything was too convenient beyond the point of believability. I certainly wouldn't call it bad, but it came across as a story was subservient to shoe-horning in all the villains and setpieces, not the other way around. Didn't make the game any less awesome, though.

The game was set in Arkham Asylum... Batman's villains are usually there. Besides, the hardly even tapped into Batman's rogues gallery in terms of villains that were actually present.

was the Joker...sick?

Well he did kind of screw his body up a bit at the end...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

OMG MARK HAMILL SOUNDS SO AWESOME!!! Oh and The fucked-up Joker looks fucking awesome too!!!

OMG!! DREAM COME TRUE!!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

sometimes they wait ten minutes to announce the next one though.

Is there any event for American developers to announce things until E3?

There's Leipzig, I guess? And GDC?

Why not just throw up a teaser now?

 

[Jocchan]

HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!
I wasn't expecting it so soon!

 

[I AM JOHN!]

the game wont be out until at least August of next year.

I would go so far as to say it's probably a 2011 game.

 

[Rolf NB]

Excellent news.

 

[Htown]

YES.

YES!

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: THE VIDEO GAME???????????

That would be so fucking great*_*
I'd love to play as an aged Batman.. with age-related ailments and things like that.

i was just being a butthead. truth is, i don't think it's a necessarily good or bad thing that they show something this early--just that they are eager to keep working in the series. i hope like many others have noted that they take their time with it. i've had the bad experience of really enjoying a game, having the sequel announced and released shortly thereafter, and being completely disappointed and deflated by how half-baked it seems. so, none of that!

He was probably just recovering from his last fight with Batman.

 

[demosthenes]

Just finished Batman: AA, LOVED it.

Can't wait for this. Make me a full sized Gotham rocksteady.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

My theory:

Joker's sick or poisoned from the Titan and is holding hostages until Batman finds a cure.

 

[Jocchan]

Yeah...maybe it was a bit early to mention the website. It would have been a good idea to make it first.

You get a 404 error because... it has moved.
I blame

FUUUUUUUUUU--- Almost forgot how awesome the game was!!!

 

[Costanza]

nice

This is what I thought as well. This is probably right after AA and he's

still messed up from titan

 

[Larson Conway]

I haven't even played AA yet.

 

[RavenFox]

Please be in gotham.

Uhmm were else would it be?? Look at the vid again and shit just hit the streets. Day 1.

 

[Ephemeris]

Nice teaser vid.

 

[Taurus]

Great news!

First one had some bad parts, but hopefully this sequel fixes them and concentrates being pure awesomeness! Best x-mas gift so far.

My theory: Joker grows a beard. A long, flowing, curly beard that will make him unstoppable.

 

[Naked Prime]

Playable Nightwing please.

 

[Milk Lizard]

Pretty sure the trailer wasn't in OP to begin with.

 

[Kintaro]

Trailer seems to imply Joke as the main baddie again and its clearly Hamill's laugh in the trailer.

You quoted me with my edit in there. >.> Yes, I see that it is Joker and Hamill. They made such a big deal about Batman: AA being his last run as Joker too since doing the voice was starting to hurt him.

the amount of stupid going on itt is ridiculous

great game comes out: "Woohoo, finally a great game!"

great game gets a sequel with what, apparently, fans wanted in a sequel: "Meh, why should we care."

You honestly don't believe some sequels, even to good games, don't come out too soon? AA only came out four months ago! Really? Last just make this shit yearly then. Got a good game? Yearly sequels!

Really? Where did you read that? Id like to see.

I was actually thinking of my avatar, but then again I like your idea more!

 

[SpudBud]

More Mark Hamill is a good thing.

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

He was probably just recovering from his last fight with Batman.

Well he looks actually aged to me..
But yeah, what you're saying makes sense, you're probably right.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Holy shit! Joker is Dudebro?

HARK! IS THAT AN UNLOCKABLE COSTUME FOR DUDEBRO 2 I SEE YONDER?

 

[Catalix]

SO EXCITED! BRING IT ON!!!

FUCK THE HATERS!

this game has haters? unpossible

 

[bernardobri]

Playable Nightwing please.

This, and playable Batgirl as well.

Also, Batman has to be voiced again by Kevin Conroy. That's not even questionable, RS.

 

[Jocchan]

Yep. It was that good.

 

[Kard8p3]

So is square/eidos not publishing the game this time around?

 

[Milk Lizard]

this game has haters? unpossible

Just Parker and Clark trolling.

 

[Dever]

Yes. I want to retain full media blackout for this.

I'm not familiar with the canon TOO much but wasn't she IN the first one?

Spoiler

Batgirl = Barbara = Oracle, and as oracle she's paralyzed already...is there a new batgirl?

 

[Kintaro]

Really? Where did you read that? Id like to see.

Interviews with Geoff on GameStop TV that run all fucking day long back when AA was coming out/new.

Plus, click the last part of this GTTV.

 

[faridmon]

welcome to this Gen, where every praised game/good selling game gets a sequel.

 

[Johann]

Really? Where did you read that? Id like to see.

It was the GTTV episode about comic-con. Near the end of the Darksiders/Arkham Asylum segment, he said this would be the last time he used the Joker voice. It sounds as if the game might incorporate any of Mark's difficulty with the voice into the story.

There's different incarnations of Batgirl in the series.

Still, doesn't need to be story-wise connected, it can be something bonus.

 

[DrBo42]

Yes! Day 1. Give us some Gotham this time Rocksteady.
