"Again with the Joker,do someone else,already,come on....."

"Yeah,i want him to return too...."

- Private Opinion.

@g_man: Its probably me, im using a samsung galxy s2

Fantastic trailer. I am going to love playing the completed game.

it's games like this that make me wish i had spent way more time in my youth playing with myself. i mean, playing video games.

@sanohibiki:

I had a similar thought when I saw batman maneuvering through the sky.

I still think the Arkham Knight is disguised as Scarecrow.

This was by far the best thing about Sony's conference. That suit, that city, that wayne tower, that batmobile, that every damn thing! Just amazing.

Eh, modern Batman uses military tech all the time. At least they handwaved it away with "the tanks are remote controlled, so you can blow them up real good without killing anyone." They made a point to say that one or two of the big ass guns on the Batmobile are supposed to be non-lethal in that little teaser video thing that they released last week.

you can't rely and over use the Joker or else his appearances would run stale. The man had 3 games already. i think Crane deserves this time in the spotlight, i can already imagine the jacked up crap rocksteady is planning for us with Scarecrow at the helm of big villain. Or Crane could turn out to be a mere puppet and the real end game boss could be a surprise.

I think my favorite part was him slamming on the brakes and flying out of the Batmobile....I have a feeling that I'll be doing that a lot

The Batmoblie combat reminds me of War for Cybertron.

This happened to Watch Dogs:

@smashbrawler: @raggedscarecrow:

Oh! That's some serious downgrade. I would be really dissapointed if I wanted to play watchdogs. Why didn't they use the engine in the final product, was it so demanding?

@squalleon: Personally I think they prettied up the game on purpose to generate buzz.

Ugh I hope thats not true, then again I never cared about Ubisoft anyway.

pretty sure theyre going with the armored look because this is supposed to be an older batman, as origins, asylum and city all have taken place before.

i fond this E3 kinda disappointing, Batman and witcher look great, also stoked for last of us remastered but the lack of fallout 4 crushed my hopes and dreams

Glorious!!!

I think Arkham Knight is the real deal......Scarecrow is just a pawn.

Not having any of this won't be a deal breaker for me, but I definitely want all of this.

The whole game looks amazingly good, but scarecrow is my favorite part, straight up scary.

If that was Scarecrow at the end of the trailer i would love for that design to become canon as soon as possible!

It's cool to see the batmobile finally be useable but besides blowing stuff up how valuable is it really? I'd much prefer just gliding everywhere. So I hope they don't force us to keep using the batmobile with dumb things like oh tanks are blocking your way, call the batmobile.

Damn that looks good.

The Scarecrow looks creepy, I bet that he is mad at Killer Croc. Overall the trailer looks amazing and then game not only looks good but is more fluid than the other games.

Gotham is supposed to be evacuated at the beginning of the game so we probably won't be seeing this. Why take innocent pedestrians out? My guess is that it'd be kind of awkward if Batman ran over random civilians by accident.

@torzone: My first thought was "Aww sh*t more bugs, this may ruin Rocksteady" but then I was like O.o nice troll Rocksteady nice troll indeed

Well, the movement of Batman, whether fighting, sneaking or gliding, looks better than ever, and it's cool that they are following up on the Scarecrow hints from Arkham City, but...beyond that, I can't say that this does much for me. Driving around looked cool...but the nearly barren streets made me lose all attachment to the scenario because it's so unlike reality in a big city. I understand the tech isn't there yet, and I'm sure they will have some explanation for why nobody is outdoors, but it just breaks the illusion of immersion. More importantly, the Batmobile battle section bored me. It just didn't look...fluid. It felt like a shooting gallery where Bats had all the good toys and the enemy tanks were nigh useless.

And I'm totally anti-Iron Batman. I prefer a Bat with significantly less tech. I'm tired of the futuristic technology.

Looks great but I hope the Batmobile stuff doesn't add a GTA feel to it. I hope the layouts for the city are the same too. Or at least mentioned if they aren't.

I saw nothing but nerd there on my way to school today.

Agreed. I am so excited for this,as well.

But I thought that my computer was glitching.

Wow this looks AWESOME!!! and the gliding looks much faster!! CANT WAIT!!!

Looks amazing!

Am I only person who thinks this is the coolest Bat-Suit ever?

I get the progression, I'm just saying that on an aesthetic/eye-candy level, it's not my favorite Batman look.

holy SHIT! THIS LOOKS GODLIKE! infact, the game is coming out next year so i can't even imagine how heavenly the game would look. i even heard that this game is being written by geoff johns so this would be the best game and best batman story in history. and it alos looks like joker sin't taking the spotlight so i wonder who this arkham knight guy is. i say it's jason todd.

but anyway, marvel needs to take lessons from rocksteady AND give time on their work.

@fil123:

They actually said that Bruce is at the peak of his abilities in this game. The reason he has the armored look is because he's basically going to war, which he kind of is seeing as how Arkham Knight is bringing his own military into Gotham.

This will be epic

Yeah, that isn't Kimberly Brooks voicing Oracle there, assuming that WAS Oracle (and there's no reason not to assume that). It is possible that they're using a temporary voice track for the character and just haven't finished VO recordings yet with the full cast. We'll see.

They did recast Scarecrow from Dino Andre to John Noble (Denethor in Lord of the Rings, and Walter Bishop in Fringe), so it's clear they're willing to change up the supporting cast.

For a man who doesn't kill, that Batmobile looks pretty damn LETHAL.

Looks dope as hell

This looks so freakin' epic! I really wish I got a next gen console and I also wish that one day they will make a Superman game this great... one can dream

Hope the combat isn't all slowmo like when he fought those thugs.

I'm really digging the suit. It opens up new opportunities for integrated gadgets and expand on combat by the looks of it anyway.

Awesome. Love how rocksteady incorporated the game crashing from Arkham Asylum into this demo.

@darthaznable: Its not, that was just a stealth move called the fear takedown, where he can take down up to three thugs at once.
