Joker Graces Arkham City Trailer

Nearly every villain in Batman's canon shows up in Arkham City but this trailer's all about the Joker.

All I need to do to get excited for Arkham City is to hear the deliciously weird voice of Mark Hamill as the Joker. Sure, the expanded world [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106055-Torturous-Hugo-Strange-Shows-Up-in-Batman-Arkham-City] of Arkham City, plus some shots of his crew wielding some big ass hammers.

[mtv=693312]

I'm happy to see Harley Quinn get some love as well. Her creepy devotion to the green-haired freak adds a dimension to the story. Also with what the Joker hints at in the trailer, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bat is forced to work together with his nemesis in order to bring down the ultimate threat of Professor Strange.

We'll see exactly how the plot twists Rocksteady has in store for us when Arkham City comes out in North America on October 18th for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

This game is looking very good, I just hope that the actual story progression is done right. What I want to see is multiple endings depending on who you decide to go after, and not make it so you must defeat every single villain, because there are a lot of them in this, almost too many. Surprise me Rocksteady.

Thank you. Wow, Tara Strong can do Arleen Sorkin's voice pretty well.

Oh, that's right... the Joker's in this game too...

Kidding aside, I think this trailer was quite welcome (if over reliant on flash-cuts). Anyway, nothing the game could throw at me at this point would make me less likely to buy the game. Waiting for October...

I love Mark Hamill's voice as the Joker, remember seeing an interview with him asking him how he gets the right pitch... it was creepy as hell to see him do it as he said "He's all teeth..." over and over as he went from Mark Hamill to Joker.

Sadly, this will be the very last time Mark Hamill voices the Clown Prince of Crime. That, coupled with some of his lines and the general mood of Arkham City, makes me think they might actually kill the Joker in this one.

What is this "Akrham City" you speak of? ;)

Looks awesome, as much as I loved Heath Ledger as the Dark Knight's Joker, Mark Hamill as Cartoon Joker is still the best.

Thanks :D

I hate when videos are not "meant to be viewed on my country"... makes me wonder why is there an internet in the first place...

So once again, Thanks ;D

Seriously, planning to put my pre-order in soon, I'm massively excited, and I'm wondering how the multiple villains will play out.

now for awhile iv been sort of hung up that arleen sorkin wasn't doing the voice of harley Quinn but when i saw who the replacement was Tara Strong i was hopeful shes a good voice actor but i didn't know if she could pull off harley, needless to say after i herd her with harleys Vally girl accent knew she nailed her perfect and am more exited then ever for the game


(shame about mark not voicing the joker anymore thohe...)

Aaaaaaaand this just moved from "bargain bin, premium edition, for $20" in a few years (which is the way I just bought Arkham Asylum a few weeks ago) to "on my Christmas list, please somebody find this". :)

As great as this game looks, I really really have a strong distaste for 'villain-parade' stories. It's just so overdone by now. I'd have much preferred a single antagonist with perhaps 1 or 2 side-story villains.
