Arkham; Where Art Thou?

Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 is slowly shaping up to be an even better game than the first. What we know is to expect a strong role from Two-Face, Mr.. Freeze (who was teased in the first game), and Talia al Ghul. We also know that this will in fact be a very dark and gritty game. Much darker than the first which I for one find is a step in the right direction. There is a rumor that Robin may appear in the game which could perhaps lead us down the path to the Red Hood. Red Hood is, for those who don't know, the darkest chapter in the Batman storyline. The death of Jason Todd the second Robin. Granted it would be too soon for this to be part of the sequel, but perhaps the third! Curiously though is the inclusion of the lesser known Talia Al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul, who is an excellent fighter and has been a loyal Ally with Batman although wavering at times to the side of criminal life. We will later find out who else will be part of the cast. I suspect we will also see the Riddler in a more direct role and if Talia is here, then most likely Ra's Al Ghul as well. This will indeed be very, very dark and I can't wait. 2011 is only a short wait and we will probably get more info at this years E3. Until then hit the official site for the trailer which hints that Arkham was moved. http://www.arkhamhasmoved.com/
