The Beautiful And Bold Concept Art Of Batman: Arkham City

How can Batman: Arkham City look so much better than its unexpectedly great predecessor, Batman: Arkham Asylum? Handsome concept art of Gotham’s streets and skylines, both gritty and gorgeous, may provide clues to developer Rocksteady’s talent for making Batman look so good.

The developer released a batch of concept art for the this October‘s Batman: Arkham City today, most of it focused on the game’s urban environments and the caped crusader himself. There’s a peek at Harley Quinn, but no Robin or the Batmobile in sight.

    This game is looking good. I’m a big fan of Arkham Asylum, and these screenshots are a good sign that the right kind of love is being given to the sequel.

      Just to be sure that you don’t think these are screens for the game (it just sounds like you think they are but probably don’t), these are paintings.
