You know, I always wondered about that bit where the Riddler says he's hacked into Batman's primitive communications so he can mock him with his riddles and whatnot...
Wouldn't the Riddler have wondered about all that?

Rumble in the Jungle on Extreme sucks :(
I got so close to 50,000 but I just can't keep a good combo going even while using the Titans. It's the last medal I need for Combat Challenges/100%, too.

Try to concentrate mostly on the fights without the titans and try to rack up a huge combo without getting hit if possible but on the third round try to get a combo of 40x or more. I found the third round to be more crucial for the score and the first round is easy enough to get flawless bonus.
For the titan rounds you just have to worry about hitting as many enemies while you're on the titan's back and jumping across the screen to avoid them at close range.


EDIT:
Oh yeah almost forgot, they added another addon pack for free. Predator is hard as shit, and the freeflow is pretty fun.

Finished it yesterday. Grea great game! Very polished and wellmade, only thing that disappointed me was the last fight, I expected something a bit more special but the overall quality was great!
Will be a very hard to thing to top with a sequel.

Yarrr I ended up watching some video to see what someone else tried and managed to get the score late last night...pretty much all depended on my Freeflow/Dark Knight bonuses in the first round. I think I got 23,000 there, another 10,000 in Round 2. Round 3 I got hit a few times but still managed to come away with 41,000 and I just barely squeaked out the 50,000 in the end.

Just gotta beat on Hard and I'll have completed the game for achievements. Game is so good, though. I don't invest much time in Batman but I love all the little things they put in and the Joker makes me laugh every time he chimes in with a new message.

This is the first game I've actually finished in a long time. It's pretty much everything I'd want in a Batman game. And for once, I actually do want to go back and beat it on the harder modes just for kicks.

I also agree that it'll be hard for any kind of sequel to top it. Everything in this just kind of flowed and made sense. To expand it to a whole city or anything like that would kind of ruin the feel of it.

I would love to see a sequel with this level of polish and thought, and with more batvillains to fight. And I do mean actually fight this time around instead of having them just send minions at you. I don't see it being that hard to do even outside Arkham.

Finished the game last night, it was very, very good. I wouldn't name it GOTY material, it had a lot of niggles that prevent it from being anything above a solid 8/10. The last third was also slightly flat, just ambush gang fight after ambush gang fight and then two disappointing boss fights almost back to back. It was still entertaining and the atmosphere truly is something else.

Man, if there is a sequel, I would love to see Two-Face and whatever he's got to throw at Batman. But if they do throw Joker back at us as the main villain, I'd love Games Radar's idea to see a tussle in an abandoned Amusement Park a la The Killing Joke.

Read Games Radar's article on who they think might be in the next game and where it could take place, if there is one:

Games Radar: Which Villains will Appear in Batman Arkham Asylum 2?

Verrry interesting....

If there will be a second installment, I would like to see Hush make an appearance.

Only if that appearance is him walking across a street, and then he is immediately struck by a bus.

Yeah, i liked the Hush story arc and all but it wouldnt work in a game. Actually it would be like this one since Hush got all the bad guys to do dirty work like Joker did..

It's a pretty fair guess that Two-face will be the bad guy since they namedropped him in the end..

I like how they announce Two-Face is on a rampage, has killed two police officers and escaping a bank heist and Batman is all "Well, good night, suckers! Hope you do ok!" and c-fly's off.

Well, really. What's Two-Face gonna do that the regular Gotham PD can't handle? Last I checked he wasn't exactly rockin' superpowers or even themed gadgetry. He's not especially strong or unusually clever. He's just a crazy violent guy who's only really remarkable because his face is so fucked up. Plug him with a tranq dart and call it a night. He's important to the canon, such as it is, but a serious threat he's not.

You know, on this note of being slightly critical of the Dark Knight's universe, I've been reading his comics a long time. It wasn't until I read all the entries of the characters in this game I realised just how many fucking people there are who have had lives parallel to Batman except they're villains. Like every second guy has the phrase "parallel to the dark knight's." Does anyone in Gotham not have murdered parents?

As much as I like this game, I'm really sour toward the whole "Batman is stuck on a fucking Gears Of War island" thing. Its a pretty retarded game and story mechanic. I'm not saying the sequel should be a sandbox game - Spider-Man 3 attempted that and succeeded and failed for various reasons - but Jesus Christ, so much of the game is just goddamned MacFarlane Toys design.

I'm going to be honest. After the first five minutes I was just gleefully clapping and giggling whenever Conroy or Luke read a line. I couldn't tell you the story at all, really. I wouldn't care what happened in a sequel as long as they brought them back. I will play Batman II: Batman vs the Calculator, Ten-Eyed Man, Crazy Quilt and Kite Man if they bring back Conroy and Skywalker.

Batgirl.

While its nice to have them back, something about it feels half-assed. Why did they invite them back and... get a cast of entirely different voice actors for everyone else? Its only Conroy, Hamill and Sorkin that are carryovers from the cartoon series.

I'm all for them getting work and more than all for more good Batman games, but if you're going to hire voiceactors from the series, you should make the game more like that.

I see your point, but you have to see mine where I'd deal with Mr. Mxyzptlk voiced by Andy Dick to hear Conroy play Batman.

Yeah, well. Brock Peters never got to play Ghost Rider like I wanted, so I guess we can't get everything in life.

But didn't anyone hear Hamill's recent interview regarding Arkham and Darksiders, about how this is his last role as the Joker so he went all out. Either he didn't think there'd be a sequel or he already knows there won't be one with the Joker in it. Or he just doesn't want to play The Joker any more. It's amusing how his role in Darksiders is the exact same voice.

Are you insinuating this...

...actor, no. Artist, did a sub-par job?

He's such a huge fan too, has a tattoo and everything. How could he do poorly on something he so obviously admires?

Well, it is what it is with Nic Cage. He has done some excellent work in the past - its just that no one here has seen Lord Of War.

Brock Peters played Darth Vader in a way that made Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet look timid and restrained. Thats exactly what old Flamehead should be about.
