    So @Grayshadow 's and my predictions (http://www.noobfeed.com/blogs/3752/sequel-to-batman-arkham-city-amendments-and-anticipations) about the sequel all come wrong.

    @Amaya indeed. City did however introduce alot of plots/side plots into the game so that any type of sequel could have been made though. For example Scarecrow and his new line of super toxins that appear hidden in one of the boats. The Hush quests are worth mentioning because of how it ends. Cant forget that our lovely Joker didnt really die, and i wont be quick to dismiss the fact that dear old Harley was pregnant (supposedly dismissed during Harley's revenge...but i think that was the real joke) and technically speaking all of the criminals are now at large since the dismantlement of Arkham City.

    @Dramus I doubt there'll be anything shown about Joker having a child. And so do Hush quests. It'll look more like a direct sequel. I personally don't want to see anything on Scarecrow. He was already very annoying at the first game.

    @Amaya really? i kinda enjoyed him in the first game. although, i wish they would have put some sort of boss fight with him outside the dream world. they could have done alot more with him too.

    Cool - look forward to it - if they keep the same voice actors for this game and keep it in the lines as the other two games then it should be good - kinda went off Batman AC after it came out -did pick up the GOTY edition recently so might get back into it and play the dlc @Dramus @Amaya i thought the scarecrow bits in AA were very good - don't forget the sid plot with the Watcher In The Wings’ side missions

    @Dramus @Cian So am I the only one who hated the scarecrow mission? I hated them probably because they were too easy to beat and almost the same thing again and again.

    @Amaya yea they were a bit easy, but the design used on him and the concept of what was done was quite excellent.

    @Cian i knew i was forgetting Azrael. That was probably the strongest hint at a sequel to City.

    @Dramus Adam and I talked about Azrael in our blog and it'll be disappointing not to see him in the next game. He was one of the most interesting finds in AC.

    @Amaya true enough he was a surprise. funny thing was the first time i saw him, i thought he was some new henchman or something since i was looking at him from so far away, so i went to one of the higher buildings and i was going to dive on him. i landed next to him and then i was like "omg omg omg! i wanna fight you Azrael!!" but he just wanted to graffiti the rooftop :/

    @Dramus I wanted to fight him too. But he kept running away until I figured who he really was. Besides all the side missions I really enjoyed the Riddler Trophies.
