Only found out about this today but see no thread on it. I'm skeptical though. I'm a big BIG fan of the first two games but this one has got me worried.
Firstly, Hamill as already said that he is done with The Joker but this game involves The Joker... he is The Joker's voice!!
Secondly, it's a prequel. The best thing about the other games is not knowing where the story is going, now being a prequel you know who is gonna live and die so surely that is a lot of the tension gone. Plus I want to see the characters after City not before. The whole thing with Hush is still unresolved.
Third. The inclusion of Superman and Wonder Woman (possibly among others). Like the Nolan films I've always felt this should be purely Batman. Introducing Superman and others it always leaves me asking "well where are they" whenever Batman is in a very bad situation. Could work though.
And fourth and probably my biggest worry. It has already been announced for 2013 release, but we are already 3 months in to 2013... A great thing about the last games was the care taken by the team behind it. The first teaser for example was released almost a year in advance. Obviously they may have been working on it for a while and announced it recently but still I'm kind of worried.
Am I being to cynical or does anyone else share the same concerns?

I'm looking forward to it. The previous two are amazing games so I have high hopes for this one too
Here's hoping they shoehorn in a superman section, a little better than the catwoman section (which i liked but others didn't) and if they superman section proves popular they can get to work on a decent superman game
Weird combination if you ask me, but hey, if they make it into a great game then I won't complain.
All they need to do is have a large supply of Kryptonite somewhere in Gotham that prevents superman from using his full abilities or just set it during an eclipse (some other way to block out the sun) so that superman can't get his abilities from the sun, problem solved
But I ain't a game designer so I guess we'll just have to see how they work it.
