Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security home for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition contains all of the content from Batman: Arkham City, including all available downloadable content, and introduces Battle Armored Tech (B.A.T.) Mode and the new Armored Suits for both Batman and Catwoman. Fans can become the Dark Knight like never before with the upgraded battle suit that gives players an additional power-up by allowing them to build kinetic energy during combat. When activated, players enter B.A.T. mode and dole out more damage than previously possible.

The Wii U GamePad provides instant access to the wrist-mounted Batcomputer throughout the game, allowing players to use the touch screen to seamlessly select objectives, choose their gadget, track forensic evidence, upgrade their gear, detonate explosive gel, and more, all while remaining immersed in the action. Additionally, all gadgets have been reimagined to utilize the power of the GamePad, offering an unprecedented level of accuracy when using the Batarang and scanning for clues.

What's "Nintendo?"

Sounds sexual.

Is it a virtual sex toy?
thewonderer - 8/17/2012, 10:35 AM
Baby blue outline? Really, is that Wii U customary?

The design itself looks sick though
REDSTORM - 8/17/2012, 10:40 AM
The new suit looks a lot like the old Batman Live one.

@thewonderer

Yes, it seems to be the color scheme they're sticking to.

I don't want so see Batman in armor!

Unless of course Superman is an optional Final Boss to this game, then ot would be awesome!!
Angelus - 8/17/2012, 10:53 AM
Looking forward too Wii U! And this edition!
SteveRogersSon - 8/17/2012, 10:54 AM
Wow so we'll get the official Bat Wii-U Tablet as well...Hell I'd make a Poll of that!
BackwardGalaxy - 8/17/2012, 10:56 AM
Eh. I like using my joystick and pressing round buttons. I don't need it to be more complicated than that. Baddam ching.

NIce BackwardGalaxy...I'll be sure to tip my waitress after that comedy show LOL
AmericanPsychoWolf - 8/17/2012, 11:27 AM

AmericanPsychoWolf - 8/17/2012, 11:34 AM
I wonder whats next?

Batman: Arkham City (The Dark Knight trilogy edition?)
BatSlam - 8/17/2012, 11:38 AM
dumb. The wii u is sooo stupid. Look at our big awesome premier game we use. Its a game that is a year old on the other consuls.
Morpheus82 - 8/17/2012, 12:32 PM
Rock Steady should develop a game based on Christopher Nolans Batman.
jtown904 - 8/17/2012, 12:51 PM
geez I thought it sounded really cool. Didn't think I'd be the minority on this one.

The Power of the WiiU Nuff' Said!


Just imagine the possibilities


And yes Call of Duty fans it comes with a "real" controller






Bigred20 - 8/17/2012, 1:49 PM
SO AMAZING...LY BAD
Sabconth - 8/17/2012, 2:04 PM
@Masterkalel

That controller doesn't come with the console, it has to be bought separate.

Also Zelda is starting to get really, really stale.
GreyskullBoi - 8/17/2012, 3:14 PM
I was already itching to pick up the Wii-U and this has sent me over the top. I'm going to pre-order the Wii-U and Batman Arkham City Armored Edition. I mean this looks really sweet!

Oh, btw always remember haters gonna hate. Furthermore, Nintendo's Zelda isn't stale. Skyword Sword was a great game.
bhorwith22 - 8/17/2012, 4:35 PM
I love Nintendo haters. They think its cool to hate on Nintendo for being 'childish' and are 12 year olds that play Call of Duty because they think it makes them look cool and mature. Blood and guns does not make something mature, and anyone who thinks that is the most immature type of gamer out there.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/17/2012, 4:55 PM
That's awesome. Too bad I am not going to get it...
poop23 - 8/17/2012, 5:05 PM
The features on this version of the game don't seem great enough for me to consider investing into getting the new wii.
PeterParker1991 - 8/17/2012, 6:02 PM
Nice, but can this game include additional characters BESIDES Catwoman? Seriously
TheGothamKnight1939 - 8/17/2012, 6:06 PM
Why all the electricity? Is this a Marvel crossover with Electro?
sbdc1939 - 8/17/2012, 6:55 PM
im sorry but when are we gonna stop with the wi arkham stuff i dont have a wi and im ready for arkham 3.
N4cers - 8/18/2012, 8:10 AM
Looks badass!!! Too bad Bats didn't look this kool in any of the Nolan films!! I hate the "rounded" cowl in Nolan's films
thestaticoss - 8/18/2012, 8:49 PM
