    Is that "Batman: Hush" fb page that teased the news about Hush in any way credible though? Anywhere else mentioned it?

    It just looks like a fan made page for the comic.


    I'd say they are just giving a good guess, as Hush was set up in AC.

    Considering what he did with Earth One I expect that the game will feature a host of familiar faces only drastically altered. I imagine that Arkham Knight will be a new tale on Red Hood or Azazel and hope would live to see the Alfred of Earth One pop up

    I would welcome Scarecrow as the main villian but I see it being a red herring like every other we've had with the past two games.

    Also, since he wears a mask I'm sure there will be a reveal where he turns out to be the joker the whole time.

    It all makes sense now.

    Well, no, it doesn't, but the internet wouldn't lie... would it?

    the city will be 5 times the size of arkham city....origins was almost twice the size.....lots of street racing i bet!, timed riddler missions, challanges based on vehicle combat system.

    Twice the size my arse. You spent half the time crossing that damned bridge anyway. That are probably counting the entire area of the bridge....which they shouldn't. Origins felt slightly larger than City. No way in hell was it twice as large. There was just....so much dead space.

    Sounds like he is alive alright based on that.

    Very different Batmobile to the one in the first game - thought they would either use it or something more of an evolution on it.

    I like it, looks like material with amour platelets all over it, looks cool.

    The return of the longs ears on the cowl is most welcome!

    Ya, I preferred the look of the one in the first game, it looked like a cross between the animated series version and Tim Burtons one.

    Court of Owls - excellent :)

    One of the best Batman stories in ages.

    These were defining for me for the last gen, so much so I had THREE copies of the original and sequel, for Xbox, PS3 and PC don't ask why.

    They had the same impact and staying power with me, that Max Payne 1+2 had when I first played them. Incredible.

    **** defo gonna give these a good runthrough in the coming months again.

    From the article it sounds like that might just be no more than an easter egg.

    Hopefully not - could make a great sidequest or a meaty DLC

    Am I the only one who thought that Origins' multiplayer was a lot of fun (when it worked)?

    I'm not going to lament its loss to Knight, but at the same time, I won't celebrate it's exclusion either.

    All that said, I'm once again totally hyped for this as I think these Arkham games have captured so many of the aspects of Batman I love most.

    Anyone I know who played the multiplayer said it was muck.

    I treated it much like I did the MP in games like Dead Space, etc. Completely ignored it.

    So apparently that is the main villain for the game, named "Arkham Night"

    More pics at the source.

    Going to bet it's not a completely new character like they've said, and that it's totally Jason Todd. The helmet mightn't be red and it has those ears but it's close enough, each screen shot make me think that it's him. This in addition to the trailer with the father and son theme, it's more than just Bruce and Thomas. The Jokers dead and Jason has come back thinking either that Batman finally did it or didn't and he's equally pissed about that.

    Hopefully it's not Damien.

    I think for it to be Damien they'd have to give a whole lot of back story that'd really take away from the pace of a game set over one night. Hopefully, anyway. He's such a crap character.

    Yeah, I think like Nolan said JGL was playing a brand new character and then turned out to be
    Robin
    (kinda) in the end which I completely called :)

    Arkham Knight may be a new character but it will definitely be someone familiar underneath, hopefully Jason Todd.

    I still think it's going to be Hush, to continue that thread from Arkham City. It'd make sense, he's copied Batman's face, now he's gotten himself a similar suit...
