Hot damn, the first (
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=258779) Arkham Asylum sequel details debut in the next Game Informer.
Sounds like it's taking cues from Escape from New York. I love that film.
Quote:
According to the developer, Arkham City "builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security 'home' for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds."
As expected, the sequel's set inside the now "heavily fortified" walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, the developer's said, and a brand-new story that "draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, " is promised.
Of course we already know that part of the "all-star" cast includes Cat Woman, Mr. Freeze and Two-Face.
Rocksteady also reckons "a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features" will deliver "the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight."

It's just been confirmed by another source that the follow-up will release in Q3 2011, so we've still go a little ways to go yet.
The concept artwork looks gorgeous. Any of those pieces (from the first link) would make awesome boxart.

I was giving five hundred milifucks - we really need another Prototype - but then I read it's "set inside the now "heavily fortified" walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City", so more corridor cloak-stun non-action.

Batman is not the Prototype dude. The dark corridors and tight crawlspaces of Arham Asylum fit him perfectly.

Besides, Prototype was kind of shit. A lot of cool ideas crammed into an ugly mess of a game.

I just want stealth to be a wee bit more difficult, just a awee bit (AI less hurdur) AND better boss battles, plz...

Well I dunno about the modern ninjas-in-tibet trained Batman but back in the day his iconic pose was standing on/next to gargoyle on some high building
overlooking the city.

Thing is, sandbox games naturally tend to favor mayhem and jackassery, which is pretty much the antithesis of Batman. I can easily imagine a Joker game featuring an open city, but for Batman they'd really need to come up with revolutionary gameplay to make it work.

koki misses the point of batman, nobody is surprised

How the hell did the franchise survive the existence of that show?
