Hope if Robin is in this there isn't co-op, because if it's anything like the first, the game won't suit it, cool news about Two-Face though if true. |

I expected two face because of the mention at the end of the original, but robin? really? although i suppose they did manage to all the charecters in the first one awesome, even the villians i didn't like beforehand. |

I think it would be kind of cool play co-op as Batman and Robin as long as it's optional. It would be nice to have Nightwing as a hidden character, too. |

I agree with 1.
I think Robin is going to be in those bonus stages they had in the first one, where you had to beat up all the guys, or sneak around and knock them out.
Maybe co op for that? I don't know. We will just have to wait and see I suppose. |

When will Warner learn, Introducing Robin to an already popular franchise will only turn fans away...I mean the 1st Batman game didn't need Robin, so why should the second. |

maybe he might be a potential love interest in the sequal....
Seriously, Two face would be cool. I hope that the boss fights are better in two - I loved the game, but the bosses, except for bane seemed anticlimatic |

if robin is there he should be a side charicter, like one of the guards in AA. fights with you for about a minute but after that is only there to talk to. i dont see AA2 working too good with him in it. |

If you play Robin in co-op, it will be a race to the controller to who can play as Batman first. |

It could be like an Army of Two type of mechanic. Where you have to play together and clean up the area. No idea how else it would work. Hope its just bonus area material. |

I'm most disappointed that Kevin Conroy isn't voicing Batman in Under The Hood. He's like that guy that does Wolverine's voice in all the cartoons, it just doesn't sound right with anyone else. |

Robin as a supporting character (non-playable) would be cool, but if they are just using it to tack on multiplayer or co-op, why bother? They should see if Burt Ward is available to play the voice of Robin. |

Hope he's in it in a similar capacity to Oracle in the first game (if he has to be in it at all).
If he has to be playable hopefully it'll be in a storyline running alongside Batmans rather than as a co-op option e.g. Whilst Batman is pursuing two face, Robin is chasing cat woman.
Or more likely as a playable character in the challenges.
But no co-op (please!!!) |

If co-op is incorperated try should do the same thing Splinter CEll is doing. |

robin is going to be in the games adventualy because he is a key part of the batman franchise. i agree the gameplay would suck if he is in it at the same time. if it's optional than the game will still be as good as the first one |

Why do people always think that by adding robin to batman it improves things. Like in the films "batman" and "batman returns", there was only batman and the films where awesome and then they brought in robin for the next two films and they failed epicly.
Robin will ruin the games credibility. Also its going to take away from teh whole batman being a one man army who is all about saving people instead of being a girly superhero who needs back up from a small boy in red and green tights. |

#24: If they are using Robin, then it has to be in fact Tim, since Dick Grayson the original Robin has moved on to become Nightwing by this time. Hence the reason why Batgirl has become Oracle.
I really hope they don't use Robin, but Nightwing instead. Maybe even have some Bludhaven DLC down the line. :) |

Check the imdb for the first Arkham Asylum. Loads of voices for characters that just showed up as audio files you had to go find. My hopes are set for low/medium.
Also, remember Raiden and how no one wanted to play as him? Yeah, times changed with that one. We can only hope Robin's become a badass in his absence. |

Bruce Greenwood? They're really going to cut Kevin Conroy out of a Batman role? That could kill the character for a lot of people. Me included. |

why mess with a perfect game? Keep the formula the same. Focus on writing an awesome store, like the first, rather than wasting time and effort on Robin. |

Naaah not going to happen. Unless we get to kick his ass in some way. |

If they're bringing 2-face, they should put him as one of the challenge characters like they did with joker if they have challenges in the 2nd game. Robin, I really don't care about you. |

AGH! NO ROBIN!!!!!!!!!
Robin is the worst thing about the whole "Batman universe". He was only created in the first place because a load of other popular heroes etc had sidekicks. In reality, Robin is too conflicting to what Batman is all about. Batman = dark, strong, stealthy, etc. Robin = brightly coloured wuss. Robin should only make a cameo if it is his corpse. |

Well Two-Face was a given since Batman flew off specifically to stop him at the end of the first game.
I'd be more interested to know who else from the rogues' gallery will be making an appearance - The Penguin? Catwoman? Mr Freeze? Ra's Al Ghul? They were all hinted at in Arkham - Catwoman and the Penguin had their gear on display in two of the Riddler Challenges, Mr Freeze wasn't actually in his frozen cell and Ra's body was missing from the morgue if you went back after the game ended.
And according the IMDB link in the article, Kevin Conroy is back as Batman as is Mark Hamill as the Joker and Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn.
As for Robin, given the timeline of the first game - Oracle instead of Batgirl - Robin is going to be Tim Drake or it's going to be Nightwing if they go wi |

We had Oracle as a voice in the first game, so Robin may be no different. A tool in Batman's arsenal. And for all you Conroy fans, of which I am one, of course he's the voice in the game. However in the new animated movies the have shuffled Batman's voice around to new actors to give new perspective and relevance in the specific project. It's cool to try chocolate every now and then, even if your favorite is vanilla, she won't mind, and I won't tell. |

I see that everyone wants Kevin Conroy as the batman/bruce wayne voice which is what I hope stays within the next arkham asylum 2.Also,having robin might increase the playability such as the gears of war franchise.In the game we may have some playing "parts" not an entire game where having robin on screen all the time might seem dull or boring.Also,the A.I has to be responsive woth what you are about to confront.It would suck to have your butt kicked by surounding thugs and have robin run like a dumb ass or just stay in the back doing nothing.I personally think that robin will guide him like oracle did and help him get his gadgets.But,come on we are all fans and should be happy with tim drake(robin) making his appearance regardless what role he is to play. |

actually i agree that if they are gonna make a game like the first arkham asylum that it would be best as single player as bats. |
