Zsasz also appears in the sequel Batman: Arkham City. Batman must track him down and foil his murders in side missions.
From wikipedia...really hope this is true. It sounds like there is a shite ton more of side missions that are actually hero oriented instead of just finding a trophy....throw in the riddles in each building and I'm fricking pumped

Hated this guy. Since Batman never kills anyone, I guess ANY villain can make a reappearance.

Aside from Slippy, Falco, and Peppy from Starfox, is there a more worthless group of good guys than the guards at Arkham in the history of gaming?

I always liked that the joker and the joker alone is able to slip in and out of arkham at will, undetected and unassisted

Considering Batman is always telling them to hide themselves in a room, I think he feels this way too.

There are reasons for this.. he has always been the master of deception, and has always had "people on the inside" .. I'm glad Batman is Batman.. cause I would have killed the guy..

Because they have moved "arkham assylum" to Gotham.. but we aren't traveling all of Gotham.. just the "Arkham" area.

Because it's not really a city. It's a section of Gotham blocked off as a prison, designed by the asylum founder, Amedeus Arkham.
ETA Did you guys ever find the secret room in the warden's office that showed that they already had Arkham City in mind when making Asylum?

No, but I really need to start playing again just to get reacquainted with the game. I might play some tonight. I'm so ready for this game.

Back to the Killer Croc subject, even though walking around in his layer was pretty intense, I was sort of disappointed in how Batman ended up beating him. Kind of anti climatic. Hence, I'm pretty certain they are bringing him back.
There's not a spoiler function on the board, but I have a feeling he will be back. Something in the lastest AC comic book. Nothing proven or shown, but a clue to where he might be, and who he might be working for.

Amedeus Arkham didn't design Arkham City. Warden/Mayor Sharp did. Arkham's been dead for decades.

Yeah, pretty much a section of the city for those crazy bastards to go wild in. I haven't kept up with this game like I should, but what is Batman trying to do? Just get them back in the asylum?

What is he trying to do in which game?
The move of the inmates to the asylum in the first game was a temporary move, right? The city is probably the permanent setting for them.

The new one. I know in the first one he's trying to get the joker and catch the rest of the bad guys who got out.

Details revealed.
Can probably find a more recent article, but this will give you the main gist.

Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham City is dipping into John Carpenter’s story well according to the upcoming issue of Game Informer, which reveals the story behind Gotham’s prison without bars. For the upcoming sequel, the UK-based developer has fast-forwarded a year from the events of the first game, with Arkham Asylum warden Quincy Sharp now the mayor of Gotham City. And what better way to earn the love of his constituents than to purchase a huge chuck of the city’s slums to house all the criminally insane prisoners left homeless by Joker’s Titan-enhanced escapades, leaving them to fend for themselves Thunderdome-style within its guarded walls. Come next term, his opponents’ political ads will write themselves.
quote:
In addition to the new setting, Arkham City will feature a slew of villains fresh from Batman canon. Two-Face will join “other key villains” fighting Joker for control of the inmates, with evil shrink Doctor Hugo Strange heading the facility and feline fatale Catwoman serving as love interest and sometimes ally to the Caped Crusader. Batman will also be getting help in the form of new gadgets (Bat Claw for grabbing hard to reach goodies) and new moves (projectile counter for bitch slapping thrown knives and pipes), which he’ll need to combat the more varied enemies, more complex Riddler puzzles, and more numerous side quests.
quote:
“We want to top everything that we did in the last game,” director Sefton Hill told the magazine. “We didn’t want to do an Arkham Asylum 1.5. We want to make the same jump we made from nothing to Arkham. We want to make that same jump again for Arkham City – the same level of ambition.”

My assumption, and this is based off the comics so far, is that there isn't much he can do. Blackgate (regular prison) and the Asylum are non-operational. There's no place to put these criminals.
So, he's scouting the area, trying to keep tabs on the ongoings of the major criminals, while also investigating Mayor Sharp. I think in the Game Canon, he knows that something's wrong with Sharp, back to AA (and his twist). And he doesn't like the way Sharp is handling this new Prison/City. I also think he believes that there might be someone above Sharp, masterminding events (this is Hugo Strange). Why? That's what the game will go into.
But I think he heads into the City at the beginning of the game, because of the Two Face/Catwoman story that was shown off at E3. He heads in to save Catwoman.

I wonder where they go from here
I think at the end, all the prisoners escape and the 3rd game is Batman: Gotham City

So I wonder where Batman is going to put all of these criminally insane Joker throwaways? Surely Arkham Asylum can't hold them all.

Story Mode Details
Saying the story mode will take 12-15 hours to complete, but that's only half the game
