Talk:Batman: Arkham City

Aren't Scarecrow, Killer Croc and Bane returning ? If you complete the game, you'll know what I mean ...

i would assume so, but i think that they may have cameos in the next game, but i don't believe that they will have any plot changing roles, like they had in the first game. but you never know

Well to be honest, i was dissapointed with the game itself that it didn't have Two-Face but now that Batman: AA 2 is on the way with The Duke of Duality confirmed to be in it really makes my day. :) Shadowhawk27 03:04, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Now Catwoman is in it, that's purr-fect. :D Shadowhawk27 21:19, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

What about Ra's al Ghul? There is a possibilty since his body dissapeared at the end of the first one.

Maybe Scarecrow/Croc/Bane/Ra's will be in side-missions. They did mention that Zsasz would be in one.

Robin?
Where's any confirmation that Robin will be in it? I didn't see any reference to Robin in the trailer.Red Dog31 19:03, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

It was mentioned that like the original AA there is going to be a map pack exclusive to the PS3 featuring Robin as the playable character Darkraider09 02:29, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Great just like the joker, Ps3 gets the gooD stuff :( Shadowhawk27 21:21, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Yay he's playable character and no not always does the ps3 get the good stuff Khruler 21:38, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

You're right, make that both X-box 360 and PS3.... Shadowhawk27 02:17, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Now you got it!Khruler 20:54, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Catfight
I can't help but notice that Catwoman was stated to be Batman's love interest in the game, yet Talia al Ghul is supposed to appear as well. Do you think there's a chance of a Catwoman/Talia boss fight?

Unlikely, the game follows the story of Batman, though now that I think about it I suppose Catwoman may end up helping Batman Fight Talia. (Brandon Storm9 12:34, March 21, 2011 (UTC))

Well it seems that the recent gameplay release confirms Catwoman as a playable character. If so then a fight between Talia and Catwoman is indeed possible. (Brandon Storm9 21:13, June 24, 2011 (UTC))

Confirmed/unconfirmed characters.
I'm thinking that the characters section should be divided into two categories. Those confirmed, and those implied - or rumoured to be a part of the game.

For one, Batman, Joker, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Two-Face, and Riddler are the only characters which have been explcitly confirmed.

Maurice LaMarche and Stana Katic have both been confirmed as voice talent, which lends credibility that Mr. Freeze and Talia al Ghul will be in there.

Apparently, according to the Game Informer article in the October issue, Zsasz and Hugo Strange will also be confirmed in there. It appears that Strange is given the role to supervise Arkham City.

The presence of Black Mask and Penguin are strictly implied by buildings found in the teaser trailer. Remember that in the first game, one could find items or mementoes belonging to various Batman villians, despite the villain never appearing in the game (like Black Mask's mask on a wall, or the Scarface puppet on display), so it's entirely possible that these locations may just be in there to add depth to the in-game universe without actually having said villain actually have an acting part in the game.

We can also suppose that Killer Croc, Bane, and Scarecrow will return, due to the alternate endings to Arkham Asylum, but it's still anybody's guess.

If I could add to the Scarecrow arguement, Dr. Young stated that with Scarecrows chemistry skills he "could have something to contribute to project titan" if Scarecrow is in the game he could be dealing Titan (mixed with his fear gas) to gain funding and a sufficient powerbase, if true then he could very well become a major antogonist like in the first game, fighting Batman not once but three times if I may remind you. Fighting Bane on titan wouldn't be very imaginative considering his bossfight in the first game. I have been pondering the ideal of Killer Croc on Titan, I did hear once that he was injected with Venom to excelerate his mutation if so then I wonder what Titan will do to him. (Brandon Storm9 12:43, March 21, 2011 (UTC))

How can Dick Grayson appear as both Robin and Nightwing?

Taken from IGN.com:


 * "The story for Arkham City takes place one year after the events of Arkham Asylum. The warden from the first game, Quincy Sharp, is now mayor of Gotham City, and he purchased a large portion of the city's slums to build a new criminal facility. "Arkham City," as it is called, houses all the insane prisoners previously found on the asylum before Joker left it in ruins. Psychiatrist Hugo Strange is now heading the new facility, and the only rule the prisoners are given is not to escape, leaving them to fend for themselves inside the guarded walls within the city." 

URL: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/111/1111550p1.html

So Hugo Strange is confirmed, as well as Quincy Sharp. At least, we don't know what role Sharp will have in the game, but it's fair to suppose that Hugo Strange will be quite hands-on. :)

Two-Face in Arkham City
I saw the resent pic of my faveroute foe and this version is sort of a mix between Nolan's Two-Face and Batman: TAS (notice the black and white on his suit) Oh and rumors say actor Rob Lowe lent his likeness for this version of Harvey Dent http://i34.tinypic.com/2a9txti.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/12376kn.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/av4svq.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/117h2xe.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/6htgg5.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/2l9ldef.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/14szccp.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/ou5tt1.jpg http://i38.tinypic.com/1zl865y.jpg

Can we also put down Ra's Al Ghul under unconfirmed characters? Since his body is found in the game, and it disappeares towards the end of the game, I think its a possibility for him to be in the game. --Ikkaku Madarame '  02:19, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Can we also put down Dr. Hugo Strange under confirmed characters? IGN.com did state this as well as gameinformer that he's in charge of the new Asylum in Gotham City instead of Warden Sharp Shadowhawk27 12:29, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

killer croc has been conformed to return according to gameinformer

killer croc IS RETURNING
gameinformer said so in their article about this game why does the article have him as unconfirmed

That's a lie. Game Informer never mentioned Croc.Signature/Red Dog31 15:09, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

I saw killer croc grab the venom poison in the end of the game (it wasn't bane so don't tell me that), i am pretty sure about it though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ug78iNN7yQ I don't have to tell you that's youtube's job, and for the record I suggest you watch the whole video. (Brandon Storm9 16:31, June 19, 2011 (UTC))

We want Scarecrow and Poison Ivy and the Rest!
There's been rumours that players wanted Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and the rest because they are their favourite characters (and mine of course). Scarecrow is popular character in Arkham Asylum because of his "jumping out of the shadows". Modern Warfare 2 master 19:50, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Pages
Should we begin to make pages for the places confirmed to be in Arkham City. Such as Joker's Funhouse? Just wondering because the red links just make it look ugly in my opinion. Sniperteam82308 Wanna Talk?  01:37, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

I'd rather red links than a clutter of stub articles that we have no information about. - Doomlurker 14:22, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Bios
Where did you guys get the bios? MPS2001! Seasonal, eh!? Whoa, no! Wait!!   22:53, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery
I'm sorry, but the gallery for Batman: Arkham City has gotten out of hand. We can't just go around posting every single still from the latest gameplay trailer.

Here is what I propose: Make a separate gallery page for Arkham City, like I did with the Batmobile article.

Thanks, --Duel44 19:57, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Agreed and done. The article (Batman: Arkham City/Gallery) could probably use a tidy up but it gets the massive list off of the main page. - Doomlurker 20:08, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Robin?
I hate to bring this up again, but seeing as how Dick Grayson is one of my favorite characters in the Batman Franchise, I have to ask where in the Gameplay trailer was it implied that he would appear?Signature/Red Dog31 22:03, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

It was implied from some cancelled posters for The Flying Graysons. Sniperteam82308 Wanna Talk?  03:18, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Check Out Joker Nutcracker Henchmen
Can someone take a look at Humpty Dumpty Riddle in Batman: Arkham Asylum

See, if the costumes are alike, cause it's a big hint cause not every nutcracker costume is the same.

Evidential Theory: Humpty Dumpty is hired to make armor costumes for the Joker, while Humpty Dumpty gets to guard Oracle, so he can fix her before Batman comes.

Lets hope for co-op
I hope they have made the game co-op then it would be more fun 1 player as the batman and the other as robin wouldnt that be awsome. Also lets have multiplayer in there this time or actually be more villans instead of just the joker.

Well. If you noticed. There have been a huge amount of new villains... and there were other villains in the original. As for Co-op I personally feel it wouldn't work with Batman. It never has before. Maybe with Robin as an NPC. As for multiplayer sure if they made it all Assassin's Creed style. Sniperteam82308 Wanna Talk?  01:16, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Nope its confirmed to be only singleplayer as the first, the only difference is that this world is almost 5 times bigger and much longer campaign. SovietReaper1

Robin?
Lol, I bring this up for the 3rd time as I see that Robin has been moved from unconfirmed to confirmed. What are we using as the basis for this move?Signature/Red Dog31 20:27, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

The basis is this: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Wolvie09/news/?a=39280 He is a downloadable character to be playable in challenge maps. Proof enough for you? - Doomlurker 20:50, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Avatar Leak?
People in the Arkham City website community keep talking about a leak that occurred of several characters Avatars, including Croc, Bane, Ivy, Penguin, Freeze, and Grundy, therefore confirming that they'll be in the game.Signature/Red Dog31 04:48, June 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * If they haven't been officially confirmed by Rocksteady, we can't put them up here as 'Confirmed'. --Duel44 12:34, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why not? It's not like Rocksteady will sue the website or anything.Signature/Red Dog31 16:05, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes they will. (Brandon Storm9 16:14, June 19, 2011 (UTC))
 * Lol.Signature/Red Dog31 20:04, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Rocksteady really doesn't want those avatars leaked. Really. They forbade all the Arkham City forums to even acknowledge the avatars' existence, and got several gaming websites to agree to not only remove them, but also never allow a member on their site to post them again. And the 'Confirmed' section of this site is only for villains who have been officially confirmed. For example, a lot of people think that Black Mask was obviously seen in the trailer, yet he is not listed as 'Confirmed' yet. --Duel44 13:16, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * All right, I understand. Though from my experience Leaks are usually released purposely.Signature/Red Dog31 17:06, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well actually rocksteady cant sue because if they sue us they have to sue wiki and wiki has a "free edit policy" wich means we can post what we want. Also im sure rocksteady stuff better to do than some wiki happening to find avatars leaked. We can make a fake game by rocksteady and they wont do anything Wildcats11630 15:34, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Dick Grayson
It says next to him that one of the reasons for his confirmation is a LEAKED profile shot. I caps lock that b/c I thought we weren't supposed to use leaks? Or are you all hypocrites?Signature/Red Dog31 02:54, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Y'know what? Screw you! Don't call us hypocrites if you can't even spell it right! MPS2001! Seasonal, eh!? Whoa, no! Wait!!   03:43, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

1) I spelled it right. Check again.

2) Glad to know the corrupt users that reign on this wiki.Signature/Red Dog31 20:19, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

MSP2001 doesn't reign here. I'm admin but no one reigns as you put it. The fact of the matter is, once this game is out everything on this article will be amended anyway so whether information is based on leaks or not it will all eventually be sorted. - Doomlurker 20:44, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Twins?
What are the Abramovici Twins?Signature/Red Dog31 19:33, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

They are twins that something to do with the word Abramovici. That's all you need to know. --ScorpionTail--

I think they were the unnamed henchwomen used in The Batman that worked for Penguin Brandon Storm9 18:07, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

They are the one-armed twins that work for the The Joker and The Penguin. Xertox 21:09, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Killer Croc
Wasn't Killer Croc confirmed at ComiCon? It was something about a toy and then the person confirmed it.Signature/Red Dog31 04:03, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Quincy Sharp
Under Villains/Adversaries, there are two quincy sharps. I cannot delete it since I am a guest but... yeah.

HUSH
I have found an article a French article that states that Hush (aka Silence) appeared in a small scene. The article is here: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jvn.com%2Fjeux%2Farticles%2Fhush-dans-batman-arkham-city.html. I was wondering if this qualified him as a rumored villain.

Killer Croc, The Reaper, and Ratcatcher
Whoever keeps on undoing my edits for them is wrong. None of these characters have been officially confirmed by Rocksteady as in the game. The only evidence that they're in the game comes from rumors, and I have sources that say that they are only rumors:

http://arkhamcity.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3742&hilit=The+Reaper -The Reaper rumor

http://arkhamcity.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3715 -Killer Croc rumor

http://arkhamcity.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2684&hilit=Ratcatcher - Ratcatcher rumor

Also, Quincy Sharp isn't really a villain, per se, he's being manipulated by Strange. If you don't beleive me, look at the Riddler Audio tape of him and Strange. That's why he should be listed under "other". --Nevermind0309 16:58, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

This article is really lacking in lots of information
I've tried to add some more info before, but all of my edits have been removed. For example, I know that the alternate Batman and Robin suits can be found in the gallery, but there's hardly any mention of them in the article, there aren't even any links to them except in the gallery. Robin is only avaliable as a pre-order exclusive or as dlc, Black Mask has only been confirmed to be in Robin Challenge Map, Bane is only going to appear in a side mission, and there's been no mention of the Riddler Viral Campaign, the new Bio system, and new additions to the gameplay at all. Plus, there's been no mention that Oracle's gone missing, G4 has confirmed that there is a fourth playable character, and I think that adding the achievements list to the article wouldn't be a bad idea. I'd be willing to add the information myself, but seeing as how most of my contributions to the article have been removed, I don't see the point in trying if its just going to happen again. --Nevermind0309 16:39, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Deadshot Revelation
Since Deadshot has reecntly been revealed in the game why is he still listed as unconfirmed? The page is locked so I can't edit it. Banan 14kab  10:12, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
