The screenshots I've seen of the game look fucking awesome. If it turns out as planned, it sounds like it will set a new standard for action-adventure games.

Now that I've read the comic, I can't believe they're making a game version.

All of the top tier Villains will be in the game and (though only a rumor at this point) apparently Conroy will be covering Batsy, Mark Hamill will be back for the clown prince of crime himself and Richard-motherfucking-Moll will be back as the jawsome voice actor for ol' Two-Face as well.
Like I said this is rumor from a few forums and sites so don't bite just yet.

I only saw the Joker one, just forgot about it. Killer Croc looks fucking awesome too. I also like the hint of the Riddler being in the game too.

Thanks for posting those shots, nar. I didn't think to link to them, I assumed everyone had already seen them. They look good enough to have been taken from a movie.
