"the best Batman game ever"...

Thats not exactly saying much, it's like saying that this crap is a bit better than that crap. It's still crap.

1.2 - true but
if you read the text, it does sound prety bloody awesome. They also call it one of the hottest looking games of 2009.

Count me in, anyway!

1.3 - I'm skeptical...
...and agree with Rock. I've been interested in this Batman game since the preview I read in Game Informer a while ago but I was interested in Spiderman WOS for a time as well. Nevertheless, I'll just have to wait till the game actually drops and someone I know personally gives it a try or until I rent it for myself.

Comic book games are too difficult it seems for developers to do well.

They started wearing "fright make-up" ahahahhahahaha, boy it don't get anymore homo than that. "fright make up" ahahahhahahahaha! Also, this story was already done in Dark tomorrow... only it wasn't the Joker is was Mr. Z or whoever. This is the same storyline as that game to a T!

Also since it's the UT 3 engine expect it to be "almost" the best Batman game ever made for the Ps3 version. UT3 engine is about as lame as it gets... or rather the developers using it are.

4.1 - Siligon
Everyone has an opinion, but your opinion sucks. Never positive, always negative. You remind me of one of those people who are miserable because of the way they turned out. Ugly, fat, skanky, or whatever reason, and you want to make other people just as miserable as you are. Only to make yourself feel better. You're not happy until you're unhappy.

I put my chin out, feel free to take a jab at it.

Damn I thought that the article was an interview with Batman, who was promoting his game.

Dang!

He needs it daily. He saw they had a new flavor of ice cream at Baskin Robbins and immediately needed his temp taken rectally.

12 - Dont they always say that the preview is awesome?
Later, when reviewers grade the game, they just rip it to shreds. Anyways, I hope this game turns out great since the developers dont have to work with The Dark Knight license.
