Unlike the first game in the series I was onboard with Arkham City from day one. I was really looking forward to this game after enjoying Arkham Asylum so much and on the whole this game didn't disappoint.
The combat is still as satisfying as ever and the characterisations are all excellent yet again. The move to a more open-world environment was a good choice too because it gives you the freedom to traverse a large play area as Batman. And being Batman, he has some cool ways to get about. The game is bursting with new characters, villains, puzzles and side quests. In fact when you first start the game the amount of content vying for your attention is a little overwhelming. Plus the sheer number of Riddler puzzles is off putting too.
I felt that the story was a little lacking and towards the end it became a bit muddled. For me the ending was a bit anti-climatic too. I feel it is still a great game but not quite as good as it's predecessor. That could mainly be because the first game was such a surprise and felt so original.
I should also mention that this game gives you the opportunity to play as Catwoman and those sequences are fun and the character plays a lot differently. Thankfully these sequences are short because playing as Batman is still the number one draw.

Some words on Batman: Arkham Asylum
Another in the Gamepedia series of entries.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of the best games of the current console generation but I didn't always feel that way about it. I remember I was excited to play this game and I downloaded the demo on the PS3. I was very disappointed in it though as I felt the combat was just a button-mashing mess. I never even considered purchasing the game after that.
Then about 18 months later after hearing nothing but praise for the game I decided to try again. This time I got a much better appreciation for the combat. I realised it is all about rhythm, to a point where this could almost be considered a rhythm game. Once you get the hang of the combat it becomes immensely satisfying to take on a gang of thugs and pull off amazing combat moves one after the other.
The design of Arkham Asylum and the characters is excellent along with truly wonderful voice acting. The plot and pacing of the game is also extremely tight. My one main criticism would be the difficulty spikes when battling some of the bosses.

The Dark Knight Rises
Christopher Nolan officially unveiled the title of the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. My initial reaction - I like it. It's simple and gives the impression that this time Batman might just have a happy ending.
I know that some people seem to be a bit put off with having The Dark Knight as part of the title again but I can certainly understand the decision. I'm sure Warner Bros. wanted to link it to such a successful film in the minds of the movie going public. What better way than to include it in the title?
July 20th 2012, can't come soon enough.

The Dark Knight - Review
I remember going to see Batman Begins three years ago with very low expectations, my love of the franchise having been crushed by the appalling Batman & Robin. I was shocked, relieved and delighted to find that it was an exceptionally good movie and certainly the best of the franchise. The final scene at the end of the movie that setup a sequel left me giddy with excitment for the next film. It has been a very long three year wait. My excitement for The Dark Knight was further heightened with all the fabulous pre-release promotional material. I mean seriously, everyone of those posters was cool. It must be a year now since the first material started to surface and this long build up, followed by a fantastic trailer and growing media hype had started to get me a little worried that I might be left disappointed. After all we'd been burned before with the likes of the Star Wars prequels. It turns out thatI need not have worried.
So how good is it? For me it is easily the best film of 2008. Also for me the best comic book movie thus far. Is it my favourite ever movie? I will delay that decision till I see it again but it is certainly in my top three favourite movies. It isn't one particular aspect of the film that has impressed me so much. Whereas in a film like Wanted I was so impressed with the visual style and action sequences for the most part, in The Dark Knight it is every aspect of what makes a movie that I am impressed with. The story, the dialogue, action set-pieces, acting performances, the score and the cinematography.
The story in the film is superb and it is simply far beyond anything that has been attempted in the comic book movie genre before. It is more complex and intelligent than going the route of so many other comic movies of having the hero face-off against a villain and throwing in some personal issues. This film is about so much more than Batman and the Joker. This is about a city trying to fight back against the power of the mob and questioning whether they are right to let a vigilante solve their problems. There are parts of the story that would work just as well in a crime movie with Batman and the Joker removed from the story. If I had to compare this film to another I would say it is resembles Heat. The plot also managed to surprise me a few times too. The supposed death of Jim Gordon was shocking, I simply couldn't believe they'd killed off a key character. Then there was the fate of Rachel Dawes. I knew the film was going to be dark but I didn't think it was going to be relentlessly so.
The performances in the film were universally excellent. Bale once again excelled as both Wayne and Batman. I think his portrayal of Bruce Wayne the billionaire playboy is fascinating. Your not supposed to find him likeable unlike other takes on Wayne character but you do really like him when he can act like himself around those who know him best, i.e. Alfred, Fox and Rachel. Bale pulls of the duality of the role with great skill. It might be lazy to say it but Aaron Eckhart was born to play a role in a comic book film, I mean just look at the guys square jaw. It is straight out of Batman the Animated Series. His performance as Harvey Dent was great as he managed to make a character so idealistic very likeable and he also makes for a very angry Two Face. (I thought the Two Face effect was superb and worked seamlessly so I don't agree with a complaint I heard that makeup would have been more effective than the visual effect used.) As for Gary Oldman I seriously think he isn't getting enough credit for his role. No longer a peripheral figure he was one of the most important characters in the movie. I really enjoyed seeing Maggie Gyllenhaal play Rachel Dawes as she did a far better job than Katie Holmes. It is much easier to believe that this character is someone important because when Holmes was playing the role she seemed too young to be in such a position of responsibility. Add in her superior acting qualities too and plus it doesn't hurt that Gyllenhaal is the sexiest woman in Hollywood.
It is impossible to talk about this film for long without getting to Heath Ledger and the Joker. I, like a lot of people thought he was a strange choice for the role but I had faith in Nolan's decision. He has certainly been proved correct. I think Ledgers portrayal of the Joker is now the definitive version, far better in my opinion than the more comic interpretation by Jack Nicholson. Ledger's Joker is so dangerous and menacing in a way that the Joker has never been before on screen. The Joker is now unequivocally a terrorist, it's a far cry from Cesar Romero camp turn as the Joker in the 1960's TV series or Burton's imagining. The Sophie's Choice style plans that he hatches and executes with no sign of humanity make him the best villian to appear on screen in a long, long time. The Joker also gets all the best bits in the film; the disappearing pencil trick, egging on the cop in the interrogation room or leaning out of the police car like dog after escaping from the MCU building.
I nearly forgot to talk about the fantastic score for this film. It isn't surprising that it is so great considering that they managed to get two heavy-weight composers onboard to collaborate on the film. Hans Zimmer (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator) and James Newton Howard (The Sixth Sense, The Fugitive) don't bombard the audience with an overwhelming score that you might expect when two composers want to get their music on film. In fact for some stretches of the film there is very little music, take for instance the opening shot of the Bat symbol shot against a vibrant blue flame. A very striking image but it is totally silent. A bold choice but it works, while other musical cues reminded me of There Will Be Blood.
For a film of this length it is important to get the pacing right and it is. It has a number of great action sequences dotted throughout the film with the standout Batbike scene at about the halfway point. I must also give the superb sequence set in Hong Kong a special mention. I'm sure this sequence if viewed in an IMAX screening would be breathtaking. Plus who didn't think the skyhook concept was cool? In between there is a lot of plot to get through and character development that never threatens to bore. Having said that this Batman film may not be for younger children as they might be confused and/or bored with the plot. I find a lot of people are praising this film because it is so dark. I don't necessarily agree with the idea that because they've made a comic book film dark that it naturally makes it better. I enjoyed the first Spider-man movie fine and it is the exact tonal opposite of this film.
I don't think one can underestimate the brilliance of director Christopher Nolan in crafting a film of this quality. I mean just look at where he has taken this character in the space of only two films since Batman & Robin. It was good to see to that he has gotten more comfortable in filming the fight scenes. It is easier to understand what is happening as they are less frantically cut than was the case in Batman Begins. Perhaps my favourite sequence in the movie is the one in which the the police commissioner and the judge are assassinated and the Joker crashes Bruce Wayne's fund raiser. The whole sequence is cut so well that the tension just keeps building and building and it is almost a relief when the Joker finally enters the party. All credit must go to Nolan and his editor for cutting that scene together so well. With all the talk being of Ledger getting a posthumous Oscar nomination, I'd like to see some Oscar recognition for Nolan and for the film as a whole.
2009 Best Picture? I don't see why not.

The Challenge – Update 3 (B’s)
Another letter down and just twenty-four letters left to go. The letter B has provided me with another 88 movies to add to my list. If the current rate keeps up I won’t need to go through the whole alphabet to find my 1001 movies.
So you ask, has the letter B provided any interesting movies? It has thrown up a total of five franchise movies – Batman, Bourne, Blade, Beverly Hills Cop and Back to the Future. So of the best movies there excluding those franchise movies include The Big Lebowski (my favourite Coen Brothers movie, yet to see No Country for Old Men), Boogie Nights (the best P.T.A. movie too) and Breathless but for far less artistic reasons than the previous two movies.
An interesting movie here for me is The Boys from Brazil. It isn’t that this is a good film by any means but it took me ages to get a chance to see it. I had heard the gist of the story and was fascinated but the film was a big let down. Although, it does feature 1980’s superstar Steve Guttenburg.
Films to see: Blood Simple, Born on the Fourth of July
Current count: 172

My 2008 movie hit list
So 2008 is here, which means there is a whole bunch of new movies for me to look forward to. Below is a quick list just off the top of my head of what I am most excited about. I'm sure I've forgotten some movies and there will be others operating under the radar that will explode onto the scene I'm sure. I wasn't overly impressed with the movies in 2007 but I'm hopeful for this year. Mainly due to the first two movies below.
The Dark Knight - This is a sequel to one of my favourite movies of all time. The whole team is back which is a big thing for me. Bale is the perfect Bruce wayne and Batman plus the support actors are all excellent - Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Plus the addition of Maggie Gyllenhaal at the expense of Katie Holmes is a masterstroke in my opinion. I haven't really seen a picture of Aaron Eckhart in the role of Harvey Dent but surely anyone with such a square jaw as Eckhart is tailor made for a role in a comic book movie. The promotional material so far has just continued to raise the excitement level and I'm confident that Christopher Nolan can pull it off. Oh yeah and Heath Ledger looks great as the Joker.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - First off it's an Indiana Jones movie. Speilberg, Lucas and Ford reunited. Do you need another reason to see this movie? Nope, thought not.
Iron Man - I know very little about the character but from the trailer Robert Downey Jr looks cool in the role. Will it be the first superhero movie where the alterego is more interesting than the superhero? It has a great cast including Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeff Bridges.
Incredible Hulk - Ed Norton as the Hulk? Wow, I have to see that. I can't make up my mind on Ang Lee's Hulk. Sometimes I think that 'yeah, I did like it' and other times I'm think 'actually it was rather ponderous and missed a great opportunity for some thoroughly enjoyable Hulk demoltion sequences'. I would be that there will be far more Hulk action sequences in this version, why else would they feel the need to do a reboot?
Cloverfield - Can this movie live up to the fantastic teasers? I certainly hope so and an advance review that I perused suggested that it will and more. I just hope I don't get motion sickness from the shaky camera.
Star Trek XI - JJ Abrams meets Star Trek, sounds good to me. I wouldn't really consider myself to be a big Star Trek fanboy but I do enjoy the series, especially Deep Space 9. A prequel to the whole franchise is a good idea and the casting of Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) is genius. Although the casting of Simon Pegg is a strange one though.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - A new David Fincher movie is always something to look forward to in my opinion. This really is the only reason it is on my list as I know next to nothing about the movie apart for a very rough concept of what the movie might be about.
The Happening - Nobody knows anything about this new M. Night Shyamalan movie but the poster looks great. Again this is another movie making my list based purely on a 'name' director. If this is another Lady in the Water then he won't be on my list again simply based on name alone.
Bond 22 - Casino Royale was good, really good and with Marc Foster on board as director this should be great too. I really hope the rumour that they pick up immediately the end of the previous movie is true.
No Country for Old Men - I'm not one of these Coen Brothers fanboys but this film is supposed to be a modern day classic. The trailer looks very good and the reviews have been glowing. It is out here very soon so this will be one of the first from this list that I will get to see.
Hancock - After seeing I Am Legend, I'm looking forward to Will Smith's next movie and the trailer for this looks cool. It looks like a comedy, action, superhero and drama mash up. Sounds promising and looks it too. Plus it has that great back story of what the original title was, "Tonight, He Comes" and all that that entails.
Speed Racer - I am not a fan of the source material but I'm really interested to see what the Wachowski Brothers can come up with. They are saying that they will raise the bar for visual effects but don't they always say that? The trailer does look spectaular though but I'm not convinced that I will like the acting style. It looks to be straight from the original cartoon, which is I'm sure what they are aiming for. I will say that Matthew Fox seems to be perfect in the role of Racer X. Anyway, it can't be any worse than The Matrix: Revolutions (worst movie ever!).
Valkyrie - Forget the private life of Tom Cruise (it is irrelevant in my opinion) and just think of his professional career. The man is almost a guarantee of quality and this is shaping up to be no different. A top quality supporting cast plus it is directed by Bryan Singer!
X-Files 2 - Yes I'm an X-Files fan. A big fan but even I'm amazed a new movie has been greenlit since the TV show is off air for six years. What I'm really intersted in here is where they are going with this. Will Mulder and Scully still be on the run? Remember they are no longer part of the FBI. Or will it disregard the final season and go for a one off storyline? Also will Agent Dogett be in the movie? It will also be great to see David Duchovny back on the big screen. After his wonderful turn as Hank Moody in the excellent Californication and hopefully, a successful X-Files 2 he can get his career back in high gear.
----------------------------------------
Some honourable mentions.
----------------------------------------
Jumper - Looks like a good solid action/sci-fi movie.
Vantage Point - A (hopefully) intelligent action movie.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army - I liked the first movie so I'm looking forward to seeing more of these characters.
Wanted - I saw the preview the other night at I Am Legend and it looked like good solid action fun.
The Dark Knight - This is a sequel to one of my favourite movies of all time. The whole team is back which is a big thing for me.
