So I was doing some thinking.. how come Harley doesn't have her tattoos in the trailer? She had a pretty obvious one on her upper right in City :



And this is the best still I've seen of her from the Arkham Knight trailer, and you should be able to see her tattoo even with that sleeve :



So is there direct confirmation of this being a sequel to City, or are the devs just lazy? Or am I just dumb and missed something?

We've had direct confirmation, I'm assuming they merely forgot. It's just a CG trailer anyway.

Don't know if it has been described in detail anywhere, but "Fear Takedowns" taking out up to three thugs at once sounds like it is going to be tremendous.

Just something I noticed, a little detail that bugged me when I watched the trailer and didn't pin it down until I re-watched it.

I think she looks more conventionally attractive in this new one, face wise. Like, that girl next door kinda look. Also, agree on the outfit.

Rocksteady might not have actually done anything besides providing art assets for the teaser. Many times other companies are hired for the CG videos. I can't remember what one of them is called, but they've done tons of game videos. Smashing stuff, too!

Um, no it isn't. It's a no-budget 8-minute fan film that was released in December.

Everyone looks younger in that trailer, esp. Penguin, compared to the still of him linked in that IMGUR album above.

Quick, has this actually happened in the Batman comics, anyone
The "Ra's, in Talia's body" part happened in Batman Beyond. It was surprisingly horrifying for a kids cartoon, considering he erased Talia's mind to get there, effectively killing his own daughter. Then he used this new body to seduce an elderly (then not-so-elderly, thanks Lazarus pit!) Bruce Wayne.

So there is a heavily implied sex scene between Ra's and Bruce.

I assume the Origins B-Team will be left in charge of the franchise and Batman: Beyond is the really really good B-team of the Batman concept so it seems like a match made in heaven.

Granted B:B has like no cache in the conciousness of america anymore but drat was that a program way better than it had any right to be.

Sweet Jesus I might be buying a PS4 earlier that I expected to just to play this game, it sounds loving awesome.

Hope Rocksteady manages to include Jason this time, he would fit as a glove on the game setting.

Tim Drake was Robin in City, but Dick was Night wing (not that he actually showed up in the story)

Still room for Jason.

Though I wonder if Rocksteady would pick up on the Cyrus Pickney storyline from Origins.

Tim was on City but Jason's memorial case showed up on the Batcave map and his death was referenced by the Joker on the challenge maps when using Tim. Besides, Jason as Red Hood fits perfectly on the setting and since he could be described like a gun-toting Batman he could be the 'Arkham Knight'

Except that AK is a brand new Geoff Johns-created character, which is the only part of this game I'm reeeeeally wary of.

Until I learned that, I was sure Azreal was the Knight, as well, he's very Knight-esque, and flame imagery is often associated with the Order of St. Dumas. Plus I can see him/the Order getting fed up with how things have progressed in Gotham over the course of the games.

Gotham under fire like this would be a perfect excuse to utilize The Court Of Owls and The Talon. Throw in Dr. Hurt, Professor Pyg, literally anyone who isn't the same Bane/Penguin/TwoFace poo poo. Court could be this iteration's "ninja freaks."

Also I hope Arkham Knight turns out to be Phantasm or Red Hood because why not.
