The announcement was made during Spike's Video Game Awards show, Batman: Arkham Asylum "2" appears to be played out within Gotham itself, and sees the return of Harley Quinn and the Joker. Little else is known about the game, but a web page has been set up for it at Arkham Has Moved.

They're really going to have to bust their arses to live up to the expectations from the first game. :p

Just watched the trailer and color me impressed. The first game was very well done(minus the combat challenges, those were hard as balls). If the trailer was any indication, this one may be darker in tone than the last.

Am I the only one to always land on the gametrailers.com frontpage instead of a video that's related to Arkham? Doesn't matter what country I choose or if I'm using Firefox or IE, I always end up with nothing... :(

It needs a solid Batmobile section.

yeah yeah I know he trashed it in Arkham but the dude is ****ing rich I would not be surprised if he built another one.

The Batmobile is one of his greatest tools, I am sure Rocksteady can pull it off in very cool way with out the driving segments sucking.

I dunno. I have a feeling any driving sequences would completely ruin the game.

Does bats use the bat-mobile in his comics for anything other than getting to the scene of the crime really really fast ?

It'd be interesting to see if they can improve upon the first game at all.
