Here's a game that's looking nice at this teaser stage. Hopefully we'll be able to apply Bats' "World's Greatest Detective" skills in this one in addition to the usual melee and gadget fighting.

New Trailer: ...and some info from a CBR Interview HERE: What were the core concepts of the Batman universe that you felt were integral to creating a good Batman game?...although Batman is unique amongst most other superheroes, in that he does not possess superpowers, we wanted to really empower Batman by supporting his core abilities of being a highly trained fighter, having expert and dynamic stealth abilities, superb gymnastic and navigational skills, and also being the world’s greatest detective. Was there a conscious decision from the start to pay a lot of attention to the detective side of the Batman character, or did that emerge as the game developed?Absolutely, we made a conscious decision from the start to include the detective aspects of Batman in our designs and ideas. This was singled out from day one, as Batman is “The world’s greatest detective” and we felt that this hadn’t really been touched upon in previous titles. You’ve brought in Paul Dini to write the story, and Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill to voice Batman and the Joker.It was important to Rocksteady that we were able to deliver as an authentic experience as possible. As far as the cast, so far we’ve seen Batman, Joker, Commissioner Gordon, and Killer Croc. We’ve heard rumors about Oracle, Riddler, Bane, Harley Quinn, Mr. Zsasz, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Two-Face and Poison Ivy.I'm happy they seem to be focusing on more than just "darkness" and kicking ass. I like that stuff too, but there's more to Batman than those two dimensions, and it'll be cool if we get a video game that reflects that.

Well, I've got to say, I'm getting really excited for this game. Up until now, I don't think we've seen a smart and stealthy take on Batman in vidja games. It's just been run into a room and kick ass. This new trailer and the "predator mode" as they're calling it, shows a little more of how I think Batman should or would approach combat, especially when outnumbered... Strike from the shadows first and foremost and avoid unnecessary danger:

I had heard that the Batman Begins video game used stealthy, "strike-fear-into-the-hearts-of-men" kind of gameplay, but I never actually played it so I'm not sure how it compares to this.
Looks cool, though.

I agree with J. If Batman were an MMA fighter, I see him as more of an Anderson Silva or Fedor Emelianenko as opposed to a Chris Leban.

Did you hear that? That was the sound of Mike's comment whizzing over my head.

Me too Manny.
Just in case th fans of all out brawling are concerned, the option of stealth appears to be just that. Bats can still kick ass and take names when the poop hits the fan:

I think it's really cool that they got the BTAS cast to voice the dialog in this game.
