Meet the Joker of BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY

Joker ran wild in Batman: Arkham Asylum and now the maniacal clown is back in the all new chapter for Batman: Arkham City. Will he get to kill the bat?

Probably the most anticipated game on my list is Arkham City. We already know Batman will take turns with Catwoman as a playable character in this sequel. Now, thanks to some really awesome video, we can reunite with the Joker. The clown has seen better days for sure. His face is now marred and gently reminiscent of Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the villain from Chris Nolan film, The Dark Knight. Fantastic graphics return along with the dapper clown. Check out that sweet atmospheric perspective in the cityscape there. Just hit play on the video below.

We can expect Arkham City to be released in North America on October 18th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and hit stores in November for PC. It will even come to Wii U sometime in 2012. We have heard that the villain Two-Face will also figure prominently in the plot of this game. Penguin and Talia al Ghul will also be running around the streets of Gotham. I’ve also heard that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment promises about 40 hours of game play within the main campaign this time around.
