They See Me Riddlin’, They Hatin’
It’s another new Batman: Arkham City trailer, this one based on the Riddler, who appears to have hidden his riddles all through Gotham much as he did Arkham Asylum. It also appears that there are some more dire consequences involved in solving the puzzles this time, or maybe its just another exceedingly well don trailer, or maybe I’m just so excited for this game I’m making shit up. Anything’s possible at this point. All I know is that the Riddler in Arkham Asylum was almost ’60s TV show-level harmless and goofy, and he appears to not have changed a bit, and I still thought this trailer was tremendously badass. So that’s gotta count for something.
