Batman : Arkham City Penguin Trailer

A new trailer for Batman : Arkham City is now available, introducing the Penguin character from the upcoming superhero stealth/action sequel. Word is: "Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today released the new trailer for Batman: Arkham City showcasing the scheming villain in his role as the black market racketeer of Arkham. The foul fiend brings his criminal and financial genius, hand-to-hand expertise, treacherous toys and his feathered friends into the walled streets of Arkham City, with the sole aspiration of ridding the world of the Dark Knight." The embedded version follows.

I've noticed that there are a lot of big, one-armed thugs in Arkham City. When I first saw him, I thought he was a boss but apparently he's just another body type. That'll seem a bit odd, considering the relative scarcity of one-armed thugs currently in prison.

However it was kind of obvious they only had like 3-4 body models in the entire game for Arkham Asylum, console influence I assume. That, at least to me, was sort of funny, then eventually a bit boring: 5,000 prisoners, white, black or whatever, basically the same silhouette.

almost every person is apparently 260+ pounds of muscle, 1% body fat. Also Batman must keep thousands of ER doctors working round the clock, resetting all these snapped limbs.

This is an awesome comment, because it's a video game based on a comic book. Realism really should be maintained.

lol...awesome...

I for one hope they continue to minimize reality in my video games and comic books. If I want reality I know where to find it.

It wasn't a call for realism, obviously it's based off a comic book.

From that point it made me wonder, how fit would a city/island have to be as a whole, to have only these few body types on display? Then extrapolating further, limb breakage by Batman in this trailer per second, on any given day; or if the populace is that fit, would they even have time for crime, working out that much, etc.

It was a failed attempt to come across like the Superman/Lois Lane absurdity essay: Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex, oh well.

This is actually kind of risky for Batman as broken bones could severe an artery potentially killing a person without even knowing it, unless he's just dislocating them like the martial arts master he is. he wouldn't knock somebody into a electric fence either.

Arkham City is looking great, I'll definitely get it on sale at some point, but this video just reminds me how out of whack the body models are for this game and the first one;

Wow. Can't wait for this.....need to go play the first one again.

I'm actually about to do the same thing. And it's a testament to how good the first one was, that this will be my 3rd play through - a rarity for me.

I'm almost concerned that they're trying to include too many characters this time. So far we've got Joker, Harlequinn, Two-Face, Riddler, Penguin, Solomon Grundy, Hugo Strange and Catwoman. I read somewhere that Bane is back too.

I wonder if Batman finds new ways to incapacitate people just so he doesn't get bored.

I laughed, only because this would make a great quote for the back of the box.
