I want this Bane as a figure.

[burngwngs]

It's artwork of Bane from The Batman: Arkham Asylum game. This would simply make one badass figure.:eek:

Whoah. I'm not the biggest Batman fan, but that is pretty wicked. Love all the hoses and ****. Is Croc in this game?

[Marauderspawn]

That looks pretty cool.

[nightmare alien]

Whoah. I'm not the biggest Batman fan, but that is pretty wicked. Love all the hoses and ****. Is Croc in this game?

Yes.

Croc looks amazing too. I'd take it as a Fig as well.

[ChrisM]

Reminiscent of Overkill 2, to a degree.

[Starfig]

Hot damn, yeah, that'd be an awesome figure.

[nightmare alien]

I'd probably buy a whole set of figs from this game.

Yeah, I agree with nightmare.

[Dark Leonhart]

Is that Harley Quinn or just some random baddie?

[nightmare alien]

Is that Harley Quinn or just some random baddie?

Harley Quinn.

[burngwngs]

It's Harley, Some people on the IGN boards are not really feeling her new look but I think it's pretty badass and sexier.

[Starfig]

Any shots of Scarecrow? This game actually looks pretty damn cool to me now. :p I wish Mark Hamill was voicing Joker though, haha.

[burngwngs]

They made Croc HUGE. For the first time ever, I'm gonna say "I like him big like that."

[Starfig]

Wait, IS Mark Hamill the Joker in this? I thought it was the dude from the recent animated series at first...

And yes, that Croc is pretty awesome. :D

[nwo]

hmmm..
those designs look really interesting...
so are there any other enemies other than joker, bane, killer croc and Harley?

[Starfig]

I'm liking this game more and more I see of it... Nevermind it has the voice actors I associate with Batman. :D

[madden821]

I may have to get a PS3 for this since it has the play as Joker exclusive.

[happynoodle]

Croc looks sick! I want a figure of him!!

[Zombie Spawn]

Freakin' sweet looking designs! They should make a series of figs from the game.

[Spawnomite]

DAMN!!! I'll take all those as figures.

[moviemaniac4]

Is this what happens when you mix McFarlane's Dorothy with Harley ? :eek:

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g227/mkarmageddon88/Batman%20Arkham%20Asylum/HQ.jpg

SOLD !!!!

[ChrisM]

^ And a little of Gretel.

[burngwngs]

moviemaniac4, I was already thinking of a custom just like your vision. So true.

[RzeznikK]

Give it time, itll up on XBL as a download after awhile.

Same thing happened with Soul Caliber. PS3 got Vader, 360 got Yoda. Then time goes by and both are available for download on their respected systems.

I already went and reserved the Collectors Edition for the 360. It comes with a 14" Batarang and other stuffs.


As for voice over work, all the actors (well, the ones I care about anyways) are from the 90s Animated Series. Mark Hamill is indeed doing the Joker.

This is looking to be the best Batman Game Ever.

[SpawnSC]

can't wait for this game today its been pushed back

When I went to reserve mine they had release date as Sept 1st.

[ChrisM]

Would the license for these figures be available, or do they go to the current Batman license holder?

[Starfig]

You'd almost think it's DC Direct...

[klocket]

I like all the designs for the most part, Bane looks sweet and so does Croc...but Harley, meh not so much...too "hot topic" for my taste.

Bane seems to have a bit of a cornboy look to him. :confused:
Freaken sweet. I'm already checking my base figures to see what would work for a custom.:D

[Dragonstorm]

That Croc is awesome! I'd take a fig of him.

[Alkatrazzz]

Can I please REQUEST the horsemens work???? PLEASE?

[burngwngs]

When I went to reserve mine they had release date as Sept 1st.

Well Sept is the last month of the 3rd Quater.;)

[Shifty02]

Looks like I'll be taking a trip to GameStop to reserve this game. 99 bucks is going to hurt, but a 14" batarang is just TOO good to pass up!

DC should have forced them to stick to the REAL designs. These look like some ****ty image comics interpretation from 1994

[J Dogg]

I think they look tight. The game looks intnse.

The bad ol' days :D

[DooM monkey]

Ugh... Bane and Croc look terrible, Harley I never really cared about. But Bane is shown pre-venom in the game to be 5'6" and 160 lbs when in the comics he was always 6'5 and 550 lbs of muscle and growing to about 8-9ft and a ton in weight, that and he always had just a simple hose going through to his skull, and Croc... Well in the comics he is not some anthropomorphic reptile, he is just some black guy with a bad skin condition that made him all bumpy and rough skinned and with that he decided to file his teeth and nails to look like a crocodile.

[GhostRider5289]

Croc looks like Godzilla.

[Peter Hoffman]

Well in the comics he is not some anthropomorphic reptile, he is just some black guy with a bad skin condition that made him all bumpy and rough skinned and with that he decided to file his teeth and nails to look like a crocodile.

Croc has mutated over the years, and he isn't just a guy with bad skin anymore.

[Starfig]

And sometimes he's got himself a tail. Woo!

I actually rather dig the designs...they're sure better than "animated series" recently.

[human_anomaly]

looks like an easy custom

Juggernaut

[DooM monkey]

Croc has mutated over the years, and he isn't just a guy with bad skin anymore.

Read "Joker" he looks pretty much like 50 Cent with a skin condition, that's the most recent depiction, also Azzerello made another comic before that with Croc where he was a cannibal or something.

[doomsday83]

Croc is a black guy? When did that happen?

[DooM monkey]

Croc has been black since his origin.

[Spliff]

OMG DIFFERENT ARTISTS DRAW CHARACTERS DIFFERENT WAYS OMG LOLNOWAI

[ralph427]

Looks awesome, does anyone know the gameplay? Will it be like Wolverine or Ultimate Alliance?

So glad I just got a PS3 ;)

[GhostRider5289]

I thought it was supposed to be along the lines of Bioshock

[DooM monkey]

I'm just saying it kills the whole feel of those two characters, I just like the Nolan ultra-realism thing, would much prefer croc to just be a guy with terrible skin who mutilates himself, although iirc he was said to have lived in sewers around toxic waste, so make of that what you will.

[Starfig]

I hate Nolan's "ultra realism" thing. That's part of why I don't really like the new Bat movies.

[OCELOT]

Yeah, why make a videogame based on fantasy with over-exaggerated characters that people enjoy when you can make a game with regular looking dudes with a bad case of psoriasis?

[DooM monkey]

Ok I could buy Croc being reptilian, but he's like 15 feet tall in the game, like he's facing off with Godzilla, if he was about 8 foot like in the comics and various other media that I'd like, and with Bane I just hate the tubing, the guy isn't a cenobite ripoff, he's a psychotic vigilante who uses that drug on himself not forced into it by Joker, that and he was never 5'6" like it lists him, he was always at least 6'5" without venom and with it he grows to almost 8 or 9 foot tall and weighs over a ton in muscle mass.

[Spliff]

I thought it was supposed to be along the lines of Bioshock
in terms of the game will never play the same way twice, yea.

in an ultra-realistic setting, Batman would have been dead a long time ago.

being upset the villains are exaggerated when there's no way Bats can be acrobatic with those gigantic arms and neck(or the fact that Batman is roid-rage regardless), nor the fact that he's in his underwear over spandex costume from the books?

having Batman have to overcome such amazing odds is what makes him such a beloved character. a guy versed in the worlds martial arts with one of the most brilliant minds in science going against average thugs, or freaks with health issues does not hold the same appeal.

[Alkatrazzz]

love it..

[DooM monkey]

Well to me this is Croc http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/234/kknx9.png

[oldboy26]

i want a Sideshow Statue of the Harley Quinn, and i don't care how much it costs!

[TheRiddler]

I am looking so forward to this game- if anyone has checked out the gameplay footage, it looks amazing. It has deep hand-to-hand combat, but it also has a sleek, stealthy and strategic side like a Splinter Cell. Check out some of the extended gameplay footage here:

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/07/peruse-weigh-in-on-extended-batman-arkham-asylum-footage/

I hadn't seen that image of the cell with all the question marks - I was beginning to wonder if the Riddler was in it! I cannot WAIT to see their interpretation of him - he has better look amazing like the rest of them!

[Love_The_Spawn]

You just migh have it as a figure.

[GhostRider5289]

I want to see Scarecrow and Two-Face. They're my favorite Batman villains.

[OCELOT]

Does anyone know if there's Riddler pics yet? He's always been one of my fav bat-villains alongside the Mad hatter(who's ridiculously underused).

[Love_The_Spawn]

He hasnt had a picture revealed, but, there are over 200 something Riddles in the game to solve. Rumor has it if you solve them all, you get Riddler as a secret boss.

[Spliff]

yea, the Mad Hatter is way underused. I'm a big fan of him myself.

[TheRiddler]

Hmmm - was hoping for him as a major player, but I'll take what I can get. Like in the comics, he's a very difficult character to write an intelligent story for. But when you get it right, Riddler shines (see: Hush).

[Jarek]

They should make a game based line period, give them all the action figure treatment, ya couldn't go wrong......well ya probly could but it'd be hard.

[doomsday83]

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/9357/Batman-3-Killer-Croc-comic.jpg

It wouldnt make much since for Croc to look like this in the game seeing as the only time he EVER looked liked this was in this one story. Other than his size, the game design is much more comic accurate. And a hell of alot better. You were right when u said that this looks like 50 cent with bad skin, it does, but doesnt look like Killer Croc at all.

[prescribeddrone]

Croc looks Hulk sized 0.o

Anyway, I preordered this already :-D

A friend who played the demo said it was a bit stealthy, sorta like Tenchu.

True but Croc has always been portrayed as African American, I think you see his mother in one of the first comics he appeared in and she was black, will download a torrent of it soon. But he looked like this whenever Azzerello wrote Batman, makes sense also because Croc was born in New Orleans, meant to be quick a big African American community there.

[Slave]

look tight. you should try it out!!!!!

That may be, but Croc's "iconic" appearance is as a crocodile-man- the degree to which he's mutated does vary, but the only thing the game design really has "wrong" (and this is in quotes because it's obviously not wrong, it's just a choice they made) is his size.

Anyway, I'd buy a line from this game in a ****ing heartbeat- especially Batman and Joker.

[DooM monkey]

I still prefer him only slightly mutated like in BTAS.

[pain killer]

i prefer the "50 cent with bad skin"-croc. there's plenty of monstrous characters in the DCU; croc stood out because he was just a demented circus freak that was tough enough, and mean enough, to be a credible threat to serious heroes. he's so much more interesting as a disturbed human than a big, green raptor..

that said, the game's redesigns are spectacular. i'll definitely be picking this up, and i'd totally buy figures.

[DooM monkey]

I still think it fits in a realistic sense, I mean he started with the bumpy craggy skin and mutilated himself by filing his teeth and nails into points. That and he is a cannibal as evidenced by the latest Joker comic, he is boiling a stew with a human skull in it and has a strange way with evidence as Joker says, not to mention he's a badass, killed 5 horses by wrestling them down and biting into their necks.

[CJF28]

I would buy every single toy of this line. Im already pissed that the game got delayed until the end of summer

I'm not a big gamer but I must get this game !!

[Scarlett Edge]

The character designs for this game are sweet! My favorite is Harley, she looks very Twisted Fairy Talesish. Id buy a set for sure. I played the demo and must say it's awesome. I agree the release delay sucks.

but to me, none of that "screams" crocodile. The fact that he looked like a croc was what made his name. the croc your talking about sounds like it could have been a new character.

[DooM monkey]

His origin was that though, sure he looked more Croc like than if he just had a bad case of psoriasis but that was still his origin, they just made it look more like if he really did have it now, and even in the original comics he appeared in he still just filed his teeth and nails they weren't natural.

[Love_The_Spawn]

Seeing as this game comes out in September, and the SDCC is in July. Perhaps Mattel will show us something special before the games release.

[prescribeddrone]

This game and Marvel:UA2 come out the same day I believe.

There goes 120 bucks.
