Takeshi:
I found something new, I think.

Late 2010, fine with me. Thought that might be a bit too optimistic.

I read last month it was supposed to be Q1 2011.

Two Voice Actors Out Arkham Asylum 2 Villains
Mister Freeze and Talia al Ghul, daughter of Ra's (Ra?) will be foes in Batman: Arkham Asylum, according to two voice actors' comments on a podcast and via Twitter.
First up, Talia. Stana Katic, who stars on ABC's Castle, tweeted on Friday that she'd "Just recorded a character voice on the next Batman video game," and found water and pineapple slices to be plenty of help. The character? "I'm voicing Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Ra al Ghul (played by Liam Neeson in 'Batman Begins')" Katic very quickly took down these tweets but plenty of folks found them cached through the magic of Google.
Next up, Maurice LaMarche, best known as the voice of Kif Kroker in Futurama, told Geekcastradio that he's Mister Freeze for AA2. Said LaMarche:
--- Quote ---I'm about to go in and do Mr. Freeze for Arkham Asylum 2 ... He's out for blood right now because, err... I can't tell you the situation, but he's actually somewhat a sympathetic character within the framework of the game.
--- End quote ---
Given Kif's disaffected disposition, LaMarche is a rather shrewd choice for Freeze.
For the record, IMDB doesn't list either actor in the game's cast, but it's early yet.

New Batman: Arkham City Screens Almost Look Too Good To Be True
--- Quote from: Kotaku ---These twenty new screen shots of Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham City are so impressive, so easy on the eyes that more cynical gamers might cry "Bullshot!" But if you played Arkham Asylum, you know Batman games can look this good.
Batman looks tough. Catwoman looks super sexy. As does the much improved Harley Quinn. Two Face looks revoltingly charred and the thugs roaming the streets of the new Arkham are loaded with creepy personality. What's not to like?
I suppose Batman: Arkham City's far off release date—it hits in the fall of 2011—could be filed under unlikable.

The new game looks sexy. Fall 2011 is only one year away so fine by me if it means the game will be better. Though I hope there's a few more villians than Two-Face. Harley Quinn looks like she's on Batman's side this time. And Joker will participate again albeit in a slight less active role. I hope they found a away to correct the issue many people had with the game = detective mode and then not being able to enjoy the awesome graphics. I felt the same way playing the game. Then I just decided to keep detective mode off since I was playing Hard and kind of knew what I had to do.
