    You're the first person who's actually said this.

    It looks like all the models are from the first game (I assume the Joker's voice clips are too?), and I think the setting is one of the Challenge Maps but it's been a while since I've played.
    Given that, I'd say it's probably something a fan with the PC version made.

    This was originally posted on kewego france. But iv'e just posted it on YouTube so it can show up in the search results.

    Anyway i'm curious to hear what you guys have to say about this.

    [vidurl="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaYS4dVDfG0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaYS4dVDfG0[/vidurl]

    That looks a lot like someone took models from Arkham Asylum into some animation program. A lot of the animations are taken straight out of the game, but some appear to be custom made. Also, the lighting is pretty crap.

    Looks like Crime Alley.

    Also, the dialog sounds like stuff in the first game, and I don't think the henchman look the same in Arkham City.

    Most of that looks like stuff in the first game. Joker jumping on that guy, Batman hitting him at the end, and when The Joker gets tossed it looks like some of the flips Harley does.

    The dialogue at the beginning at least is straight out of the confrontation cinematic at the end of AA.

    Yeah, pretty much everything in that was just moves from the first game.

    It also had moves from Arkham City. Like the double counter that Batman used.

    Who knows, could have been a leftover move that was never implemented.

    The team-up attacks kind of irked me. Especially when the Joker helps Batman vault into the air because no way would Batman ever trust the Joker enough to do that, and I honestly don't think Joker could resist pulling off the Lucy-with-football gag from Peanuts if he was in that situation.

    Hmm yeah, if they had done a few combo attacks at first and then Joker set up a vault or something and then dodged aside and Bats just crashes to the ground and Joker giggles and kills a guy....

    Yeah that'd be pretty funny.

    That was pretty cool up until the point where they inexplicably started fighting together. Then it got kind of nauseatingly fanservicey in the vein of that Haloid/Dead Fantasy guy. Except not animated as well. And with less homoerotic undertones.

    I just started playing AA, and I love the game so far, but I think it's amusing to note that the Batman in this game is apparently uncharacteristically idiotic and left the Batcave without all his wonderful toys.

    And yes, yes, this doesn't actually bother me, as I realize it's done for gameplay reasons to make the Metroidvania gating aspect work.

    It'll be interesting how City plays, given bat is going to have all his gadgets from the get-go, that's what most interests me about the game, although i sense a cheat on the horizon, where, you need *new equipment* to get the job done.

    Or you'll have to get a second upgrade for that grappling gun to pull down the really heavy walls. And you'll have to download Alfred's patch for the electric gate hacker thing!

    I always rationalised that Bats didn't have all of his gadgets and such on him at the start of AA because he'd used it all in "apprehending" the Joker.

    Yeah, I'm betting it's more "these guys are using our stuff without permission and we've got Rocksteady punching away at Arkham City" than "damn, our secret reveal of the Joker as the co-op character is out!"

    If he had them all with him to begin with, he could have saved himself a ton of time and backtracking.

    That's just how Batman does it.

    *Grabs a bunch of random parts, sticks them onto grappling gun, somehow magically creates better grappling gun*

    He's so well prepared he doesn't even know all the stuff he's prepared for.

    Look at all the valuable time he wasted going back there, though! As a result of forgetting his grappling gun in the Batcave, he was forced to do a bunch of slow climbing above a dangerous, bottomless cavern just under the surface of the island.

    Unless the backtracking itself was also all according to plan to lure the Riddler into a false sense of security until he could pinpoint his location...

    I want to know what was in his batcrates that he had to yank over into the bottomless chasm.

    Also, I was not aware that Batman had OCD until this game.

    Stop getting so mad about it.

    Besides it's not your video, you just snatched it from another site and uploaded it. Probably without permission too.

    Unless it is your video and you're butt hurt that no one has fallen for it.
