Featuring “a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features”, Batman: Arkham City promises to be exciting fare. The games wallpapers/posters show the presence of Catwoman, who might feature as a co-op player in the game, as well as Two-Face, who’s pictured in a Uncle Sam type poster in the background. The trailer also shows Joker and Harley Quinn, conspiring again.
