    There was good stuff not doubt, but medical, the gardens, and some areas of the main asylum were ugly as sin.

    One of the things I really loved about AA is that they skipped over all that perfunctory junk developers usually try to cram into a Batman game (such as a Batmobile driving section). They got down to the nitty-gritty of Batman (stealth, detecting, combat) and that's what I want more of in AA2.

    Another strong story (something with a bit of a mystery bend would be nice), more villains (Mr. Freeze), better boss fights, and more interesting areas to explore/be all stealthy in. Taking down a group of thugs from the shadows is a blast (even if you get caught the combat is great too). So things like more playable characters or vehicle sections aren't on my "hopes list" for AA2.

    Good. That's how it should be in the first place. This isn't a tropical island resort, this is an island for the criminally psychotic. Beauty has no place.

    On a technical level, the game is incredible in its visuals. However, I do agree that some of it was just bothersome to look at. Plus everything had this weird green tinge that I desperately wished would go away; at least I did for the one hour in total that I wasn't using detective mode.

    I would love to see

    1. Riddler
    2. Mad Hatter
    3. Two Face
    4. Mr. Freeze
    5. Joker

    Perfect cast for me but the more the merrier.

    I'm pretty sure that the Joker is going to be in it. Don't think we need to speculate about him.

    The main character I want is Mr. Freeze. Maybe Clayface as well. I also think somehow we should work in Catwoman somehow. I really don't want any other characters besides Batman as a playable character. I'm afraid they are going to try to work Robin in, and ruin the story by putting too much focus on him and not enough on Batman.

    If they have Robin, make him a bonus character for after you beat the game or free-roam type gaming. Not a story mode character.

    I seriously hope this isn't just in Arkham Asylum but an openworld sanbox like game in Gotham. They can always change the title or keep it for name recognition.

    Of course, those listings are from IMDB, so take them with a grain of salt.

    I agree with not putting Robin in but I think putting in but not playable in story mode but being in part of the story to help out in someway is Nightwing.

    I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on the Robin idea and especially the co-op one.

    what if its NOT Grayson but Todd and in the game the same thing happens as in the comic, that would be entertaining. :ev: 

    Oh shame on all of for not mentioning that Two-Face is gonna be in the game.

    HELL YEAH, HARVEY TWO-FACE!!
