Post Batman: Arkham City
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/08/05 ... me-sequel/

Well, the sequel to Arkham Asylum officially has a title. I don't see why Gotham City wouldn't have worked, as any fan would be able to follow the logical progression... but whatever, it's another step closer to this game!

Maybe because the inmates escape the Asylum (again) and take over the town?

Or the whole city goes batty and turns into a virtual asylum?

It seems that's the case.

Also, the upcoming covers for game Informer confirm Catwoman's in the game, apparently in a big way.

G4 is reporting a leak on the new Arkham City game. I tried to verify the rumor, but was unable to find any other info. So take it with a grain of Internet-salt, but the details are below... Spoilers (maybe) of course:

Spoiler! :
Gameinformer Story info says:
- Quincy Sharp is no (SIC) running for mayor.
- Arkham Asylum and Black Gate Prison are unfit to hold inmates.
- Quincy Sharp buys off part of the slums and walls it off, creating Arkham City.
- Hugo Strange is in charge of Arkham City.
- Two-Face plans to execute Catwoman to gain respect of inmates.
- The overdose of venom may not be what's wrong with the Joker.

Gameinformer Gameplay info:
- You are now able to counter two attacks at once.
- More puzzles.
- All gadgets included in the first game are available from the start.
- Side missions now feature in the game.
- Gangs roam Arkham City, these are recorded in Batman's criminal database.
- You find people who work for Riddler to find Riddler challenges.
- Batman has his smoke bomb.

And did you know there was a secret room in the Warden's office in Arkham Asylum that features concept art and a map that reveals Arkham City?

I'm a little impressed that they hid it so well that they finally had to tell people it was there.

Hang on a second!
Arkham is a small university town in Massachusetts, hardly a "city".
Gotham is supposed to be in New Jersey or Illinois - did they send all the Batman villains to a psychiatric hospital out of state?

In DC continuity, IIRC, Arkham Asylum was founded by Amadeus Arkham. Other than the name, which is just an in-joke reference, there is no connection to Lovecraft's Arkham.

Of course, someone who knows better will likely correct this, but that's my understanding.

I was just mixing continuities - there's no asylum in the original Lovecraftian Arkham, only Sefton Asylum 50 miles from Boston is ever mentioned.

As far as the game goes, it's going to be almost like No Man's Land, where a part of the city will be walled off for criminals, and renamed Arkham City.
