VIDEO: BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Gameplay Trailer is Risky, Sexy, Cool

IGN has the new gameplay trailer for this fall's Batman: Arkham City game, and it has us counting down the days until October 18th. 

In addition to some in-game footage, we're treated to some interaction between Two-Face, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Hugo Strange. And Batman looks like he's having one hell of a time swinging around, catching rides on helicopters, and starring in his own little music video. The original game was a ton of fun, and this one looks like it's going to be even better. 

Make sure to stick around to the end of this clip for an appearance from Mr. J.

  1. I can’t tell you how hyped I am about this.  They really look like they’re pulling off all the stops and giving Batman free reign to do anything.  We just need to start getting some details as to how Catwoman will be used in the game.

  2. Can’t help but notice that Harley Quinn looks exactly like Scarlet Johanssen.

  3. Avatar photo Paul Montgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    @andybmcd  They’re both blonde and attractive I suppose. 

  4. I’m in.

  5. God damn I wish I had a ps3

  6. I’m not even that much of a gamer, and that makes me want to buy it immediately

  7. The first one was awesome. Can’t wait.

  8. I heard that this is Mark Hamil’s last go at Joker. 

    And i will probably buy one game this year, and this will be it! 

  9. The original teaser had me hopeful that they would change the engine. Dear god Unreal Engine looks fugly.

  10. I wish they were using Harley’s traditional costume instead of her videogame girl tramp outfit.

    Loved Arkham Asylum.  Ivy, Joker, Croc were all really well done.  Started slow (although I loved the creepy escort-the-Joker-prisoner opening) but was a lot of fun as the utility belt filled out.

    Thought Unreal looked fine.  Couldn’t believe how poor the lipsyncing was.

  11. Is that a different actress (from Arleen Sorkin) as Harley? I’d look it up myself, but my eyeballs just exploded from how awesome that trailer was.

  12. I want this game now!!

    Look at how he glides through the city, the fight animation, the gorgeous graphics….Oct. 18th can’t come quicker! 

  13. Ign has really talked this up. On the fence between this and Infamous 2

  14. For me I know this games going to be great just like the last. This trailer however made the game look kinda… off?

  15. @WeaklyRoll – I heard the same thing about this being Hammil’s last time doing Joker. Shame, as he has become THE Joker voice, IMO. But I can understand wanting to do other things. Glad he’s in for this game, though.

  16. Sweeeeeeeeeet! However, I still have to go back and beat the first one.

  17. I love the animation of him diving off of buildings and then popping his cape to slow down.  The game looks great so far.  There seemed to be some clunky looking animations in the trailer, but the game is really far off.  I’m expecting just more velvety, amazing gameplay from our friends at rocksteady.

  18. Looks amazing, can’t wait. The original was my favorite game of that year.

  19. i want.

  20. Seems an odd choice of music to me…

  21. This could be the best Spider Man game ever, just subsitute one-liners with suggestive comments on where the player should go next.

  22. i’m excited about this game. but if they don’t give bats a few years off, all this hype is going to make me hate him. It’s happened before.. deadpool…

  23. Who would’ve thought Bats rocked out to some indie while he cruised through Gotham! So excited for this game.

  24. Looks very cool! Oct 18th is a holiday in my house this year!

  25. Wow! The first Arkham game was really good, this one looks like it ups the ante in every way!

  26. I’m definitely going to have to consult a physician. Because the erection I got after watching that is undoubtedly going to last longer than four hours.
