    Site is live. Looks like Two Face! Which is awesome, but is going to draw a lot of comparisons to The Dark Knight, for better or worse.

    @tornbhc007: Surely no more than the original game did, which, you know, had that other guy that was really popular in the Dark Knight movie.

    What was his name? Jokester or something?

    I honestly can't remember, he was hardly memorable and I certainly didn't see far, FAR too many people dressing up as him in the last 2 Halloweens since TDK's release.

    Although, you are right in one way, I guess. Following one with the other in a second game will draw comparisons between the film and the franchise as a whole, I guess they are still riding the popularity wave TDK had.

    @Mentuss: To me, honestly, as much good as Ledger did the Joker (and that is a vast understatement) I really think Harvey Dent stole the show. That's why I hope them being vague on his "death" was deliberate so they can bring him back.

    @tornbhc007: I think you're right too, actually.

    Also, as good as Ledger's Joker was, I think many people go very OTT about how good it was, more likely than not due to the fact it seems to be a popular thing to over elevate someone's importance after their death.

    Was he a good Joker? Yes. But so was Jack Nicholson, and although Mark Hamill has never done it live action, the characterisation in his voice work is probably the Joker I enjoy the most.

    ...And if I hear another person say "why so serious" as though it's some cool quote to say instead of something overdone and played out within weeks of the movie's release, or go to another fancy dress party where there's multiple Jokers, even though IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, HAVEN'T YOU FOUND A NEW BANDWAGON YET? I think I'm going to lose it.

    Hope this doesn't mean it's going to be another enclosed area. AA was great, but I'd like a little more geographical freedom (even if it means two discs for the 360 and PCs).

    I need a cigarette...

    There's only 3 things I really want added to the sequel:

    1. Better boss battles.

    2. An expanded cast of supporting characters, namely Cassandra, Dick, Tim, and Alfred and maybe the ability to play as some of them for a portion of the game.

    3. A better story from Dini to match the great quality level of characterizations and voice acting in the first game.

    Keep everything else the same and I'll be a happy customer.

    @Mathrin: Eh, I'd rather they get the voice actor from the Animated Series.

    I never quite got used to Michael Caine's blue collar/ pseudo-cockney interpretation of the character over the classic refined gentleman's version.

    Actually I also wish they use the original voice actor for Gordon. The voice they got for A.A. was all wrong, way too macho and gruff. Gordon is supposed to sound fatherly and humble.

    Glee! Even if it's basically the same damn game with new locales/story/villains/etc, I'll be quite happy. I don't mind that it's still a Joker story, as I've always found him to be the most interesting villain by far.

    I haven't paid too much attention to this game, but wondering if it has MP.

    My Red Faction mates have been talking about it during game nights, and it would be nice to have something we could all move on too.

    Not that anything beats a Sledgehammer only, Concussion and Rhino only, Quarantine match. It's the bloody Final Destination of RFG.

    That looks awesome, obvious comment about how GTA4 should have been that goes here. But I thought the intro paragraph of the article said that you could "lasso a humvee to a cenobyte," which would be awesome as I bet the eternally damned would make for a good sled-dog team. Damn you, selective dyslexia, you let me down again.

    @denki: Pinhead basejumping ftw.

    I disagree that GTA4 should have been like this. I like them 'keeping it real' so to speak :) However, as a standalone concept, wakey physics, great graphics and a awesome car chased make this look like the mutts nuts.
