And the Spike Video Game Awards show started off with the promised bang -- in the initial seconds, a follow-up to Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Asylum was unveiled. Nice, right?
Here's the scene: a massive present was rolled onto the main stage while large men equipped with smoke machines plodded through the walkways, puffing gas throughout the room. As members of the crowd acted like they came to the wrong awards show, Mark Hammil’s Joker spoke, teasing a sequel before a trailer made it a reality.
The teaser didn’t do much more than reveal a location -- it appears this Batman follow-up will be based in some sort of carnival atmosphere. The words “Arkham Asylum has moved” appeared the end of the short tease before revealing that there’s a Web site you can go to get more (cryptic) information.

Cannot wait for this.
all I hope is that its more open world, which the trailer may lend itsself to that.
Want:
MOAR HARLEY QUINN
Hush
Catwoman
Black Mask
Two Face
fuck it, I'd be cool with Night Wing, Robin (Drake) and Jason Todd/Red Hood in there too.
I want them just to blow it up to crazy proportions
I'm just so surprised it was him again because I kept hearing rumors that he had said he was retiring The Joker voice and never doing it again.
But, in all seriousness, I'm pretty excited.
I know it was done on the SNES, but now we have the tech to make it even more OTT!
Hopefully it has less Harley Quinn. She was so incredibly obnoxious.
rocksteady did an outstanding job with the way they put arkahm asylum together, so my interest is officially piqued...
And just to reiterate: please, please, please, dear mother of God, no Robin or Nightwing.
Both?
I was expecting two face as was teased at the end of the game and not joker again hopefully well get a proper bat joker fight this time either way can't wait
SPOILER
I mean, that's how it should be, but it never is.
Harley Q was thrown in cause it helps to have a hot babe to sell the game. Next time it will probably be Cat Woman or one of the other hot female baddies.
Still hope Mark Hamill is in it cause no one does Joker as well as he does.
Sequels tend to suck, so I hope like Uncharted they do as well or better on the sequel. Unlike R&C Crack in Time which was a bad sequel to a great series.
Change in art style or are we looking at an out-of-retirement-batman game?
Two-Face? I think.
MOAR HARLEY QUINN SECONDED!!!
