I really hope this turns out well because it looks awesome. Hopefully the stealth is implemented in a way that isn't annoying or overly difficult.

So.. it's.. Metal Gear Solid: The Dark Knight?

Oh, and has anyone noticed the ridiculous $99 Collector's Edition available for pre-order at Gamestop?

Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition comes with:

* 12" Batarang
* DC Encyclopedia
* DLC Pack 1
* Bonus DVD wthe Behind the Scenes feature, & Soundtrack

Final contents of collector?s edition are subject to change.

A 12" Batarang!? Damn. My Batarang is only 9".

<- Batarang envy

Wow, that looks pretty badass. From the looks of it they'll have to REALLY screw it up to prevent me from picking it up at launch.

Is it supposed to be the same storyline as the graphic novel?

No, it's not directly based on any previous storyline, although obviously it draws inspiration from existing Batman lore.

EDIT: This is why it might actually be good, because it's not releasing alongside a movie, nor is it tied to an existing story. The developers are free to do what they want (relatively speaking).

Exactly what I was thinking. The gameplay looks exactly like MGS.

Batman Begins had most of those game play elements too. I played it on xbox, it was a good game, pretty well polished, and my only complaint would be it was just too easy.

That looks pretty fun.

WOW this game looks REALLY cool. I didn't care at all about it months ago when it was on the cover of GI or whatever, but thew new videos make me really want it. I'm a big Splinter Cell fan and this looks to take the best of the game plus the coolness of batman. I wish it wasn't 3 months away. Could use a new 5 star game next month or so.

Ehh. Looks fun but looks iffy to me. I'm going to go out on a limb and call it another Assassins Creed.
