Ever since Batman first appeared on the tv when we were kids we wanted to be him. Then George Clooney and that whole fake nipples thing happened and we weren’t so sure anymore. Thanks to Nolan and Bale though, Batman is cool again. Interesting as that may be, putting ourselves in the suit of Bale’s Batman is little more than fantasy, and it’s hell on the vocal chords. Video games might not be real life, but with precise combinations for disarming and defeating a laundry list of Batman baddies, even that’s a bit of a stretch. Arkham City picks up where 2009’s Arkham Asylum left off—except it does everything bigger. New open ended world, better AI and cooler, upgradeable gadgets are just the beginning of the extremely long list of things you will love about suiting up as the caped crusader. It’s GTA with spandex and an actual story line. What’s not to love?
