FROM MTV GEEK:

Still no word on the much-anticipated Azrael character skin and the challenger where he smacks around the 90’s.  

Think there’s a chance you’ll max out your fun splitting skulls and solving the mysteries as Batman in developer Rocksteady’s upcoming Batman: Arkham City? Well, fret not, because come November, you’ll be able to take the fight to the criminal underworld with the November 1 Nightwing and November 22 Robin DLC packs which will let you play as the current and former sidekicks in the game’s existing challenge maps, while adding new skins for both characters.

FROM MTV GEEK:

This new animated trailer for for Monolith's upcoming class-based FPS, Gotham City Impostors might not get any new converts among the ranks of people scratching their heads at the idea of a comedy-tinged shooter set on the mean streets of Gotham, but as someone already looking forward to this way out of left field title, it's just one more thing keeping my interest piqued.

Here's a little blurb about the game from the developer:

Why fight crime when you can kill it.

Gotham City has gone insane! Batman is up to his pointy ears in unwanted "helpers" determined to dish out their own bloodthirsty brand of vigilante justice in his name (and image). Meanwhile, a small army of self-appointed junior Jokerz has turned the streets of Gotham into a barmy battlefield of bullets, bodies, and bear traps.

The Joker may not be the main bad guy of "Batman: Arkham City," (that honor goes to Professor Hugo Strange), but he does play a pretty crucial role in the game, now that he's running around loose in the streets of Gotham City. We secured this trailer, which focuses on some of the Joker's crew, while also giving some of his backstory.

Just a few days after we learned about new gadgets and a new villain (Deadshot) for "Batman: Arkham City," we're finding out there's a bit of a delay in regards to the game's release. No, that's not a multiplatform delay, as it's only affecting PC players. The good news: the delay is actually rather short; the game will now release in November for PC. There was no exact date in the release, just a generic "November," so that take that however you wish.

"Batman Arkham City" is only about a month away, but thankfully, Rocksteady are still dishing out new features and villains. The game's rogue gallery is getting pretty deep, with the developer seemingly trying to cram as many iconic Batman villains into the game as possible. Today, we find out details on a couple of new gadgets, plus we're introduced to the latest foe in the title, Deadshot.

Batman: Arkham City

One of the many lovely aspects of "Batman: Arkham Asylum" was just how much there was to keep you occupied beyond the main story. The Riddler's trophies, hidden character clues and those crazy shadow puzzles made for some interesting brain teasers without requiring actual brawn. We've already learned that "Batman: Arkham City" will offer up even more of those puzzles and extras, but that's not the whole story. When you complete "Arkham City," you'll also unlock a New Game Plus mode, which Rocksteady has now detailed.

At last count, I believe there are about 800 supervillains lined-up for "Batman: Arkham City." OK, maybe there's not that many, but it seems like we're seeing new footage of a different Gotham ne'er-do-well every couple of weeks. Not that I'm complaining; Rocksteady has consistently impressed the hell out of me with each character reveal. Today's trailer is no exception, as Rocksteady shows off a particularly excellent looking Mr. Freeze.

Check out the trailer right after the jump.

"Batman: Arkham Asylum" had a fair amount of references to classic franchise villains, but in terms of the actual villains you got to punch in the face in that game, there were only around 4 or 5. "Batman: Arkham City" seems to be rectifying this problem with an appearance by more major villains that one would think possible in a single game. So far we've seen Two Face, The Joker, Harley Quinn, the Riddler and Catwoman, but today adds three more to that list. You can see two of them, Penguin and Solomon Grundy, in the trailer up top.
