If the last Joker trailer is any indication of the kind of intense drama and moodiness that Arkham City will be bringing, then how that applies to the newly-reimagined Robin is something we can’t wait to see. Whether a trailer will be able to match the inherent awesomeness of the current gallery of Robin costumes remains to be seen, but we’ll give Rocksteady the benefit of the doubt. Sadly, the announcement on Arkham City’s community forums confirming that a Robin trailer is “imminent” also states that no more characters will be revealed before the game’s launch....

But if the early reviews for Batman: Arkham City are anything to go by, Rocksteady may be one of only a few companies that actually succeeded in upping the sequel ante. Arkham City officially went gold just under a week ago, so it was only a matter of time before reviews started popping up for the much-anticipated title. Two reviews are currently up on the Internet - both of them holding nothing back in showing how much they love this game....

It’s only been days since Mr. Freeze was revealed to be appearing alongside other members of Batman’s rogues gallery, and the trailer did more than enough to get fans of the frozen menace excited.

With Gotham City crimelord The Penguin pulling more than a few strings in the game’s story, it’s no surprise to see Cobblepot’s Iceberg Lounge appearing in these new images....

[HTML1] Given how sprawling the open worlds of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City were, few could fault fans for heading into the imminent release of Batman: Arkham Knight with high expectations. As the first title on current-gen platforms, and the last Arkham game for developer Rocksteady Studios, most expect Batman: Arkham Knight will pull out all the stops. Coincidentally, though, there won’t be any stops in gameplay, as Batman: Arkham Knight will not have a single loading screen throughout the game....

With the jump to next-gen, however, many figured that questions of resolution and frame rate would be a thing of the past, since both the Xbox One and PS4 were touted as capable machines. That isn’t to say the consoles are not, but the fact we still have discussions about resolution and frame rate speaks volumes. The latest game to put its hat into the resolution ring is Batman: Arkham Knight, which was today confirmed as a 1080p product on PS4....

Gamers who have been following Batman: Arkham Origins news for the last few months will remember that Warner Bros. Interactive did, as mentioned, share box artwork concepts last week; however, fans that remember the pre-release buzz for Batman: Arkham City will also recall that that the publisher has, in the past, made drastic last minute changes to their cover designs. For example, the image below was reported by numerous outlets as the final Arkham City artwork, only to be replaced shortly after by a significantly different design for retail (click to enlarge):...

Bigger boss battles, multiplayer hi-jinks and even a playable bad guy, all hint at what may well be the best Batman title yet — and now, with the announcement of the Batman: Arkham Origins Season Pass, aspiring students of the World’s Greatest Detective can piece together the Origins experience for less.

It’s common for a modern property’s gameplay to be shown running on a high-end PC to give the absolute best look at the engine, to the point where The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s developers made news just by revealing that their trailer was run on the Xbox 360. Good news for consoles is becoming harder and harder to come by, as the potential of existing consoles seems to be tested to the breaking point with each passing month....

Dortmund’s task at Signal Iduna Park was a daunting one considering their 3-0 reverse in the last-16 first leg at Wembley, but Spurs had Hugo Lloris to thank for a string of fine saves to maintain that advantage. And England captain Kane ensured there would be no hope of a memorable comeback with a clinical one-on-one finish in the 48th minute to secure a 4-0 aggregate triumph. Goalkeeper Burki believes an away goal could have made the difference but recognised the world-class talents of Kane....
