Damn, I really need to finish this game. A new DLC pack for Batman: Arkham City allows gamers to play as sidekick-turned-badass Nightwing (a.k.a Dick Grayson) in the critically acclaimed title. The download, available Nov. 1, also offers two Nightwing challenge maps and a Batman: The Animated Series skin for the character.
Watch Nightwing beat up the bad guys in spectacular fashion in the trailer below.

Spoiler Alert! ‘Arkham City’ Will Be Off the Chain!
I tend not to get all that worked up about video games these days, mainly because I never really have time to play them. However, after watching this extended preview of Batman: Arkham City (via MrKQgaming on YouTube), I might need to clear my schedule when Rocksteady’s Arkham Asylum sequel hits shelves on Oct. 18.
Looking back on the parade of terrible Caped Crusader-based video games released over the last two decades, did we ever anticipate that a developer could get things this right? And twice in a row by the looks of it? Holy turnaround, Batman!
Speaking of Batman, now’s as good a time as any to heap praise on DC’s rebooted Detective Comics series—among the best of the publisher’s “New 52” relaunch. Not that I have anything against Dick Grayson, but it’s great to have Bruce Wayne back in the cowl. Plus, Tony S. Daniel is weaving a particularly twisted tale that involves cutting people’s faces off. Just sayin’.
Anyway, check out this preview of Arkham City, and be sure to pick your jaw up off the floor when you’re finished.

Dr. Hugo Strange Knows the Dark Knight’s Secrets in 'Batman: Arkham City'
I made it a point to have something—anything—better to do than stay in on Saturday night and watch the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards. But I have to admit, some of the trailers that debuted during the show were actually pretty cool, including a revealing trailer for anticipated Batman: Arkham Asylum sequel, Arkham City. As the title suggests, the action this time takes the Caped Crusader off Arkham Island and onto the streets and rooftops of Gotham City.
An earlier trailer revealed that the Joker will return from the first game, as will his deranged gal pal and henchlady Harley Quinn. Other Batman villains set to play a role in Arkham City include Mr. Freeze, Talia al Ghul, Two-Face, Catwoman and Dr. Hugo Strange who, in the trailer below, notes that he knows the Dark Knight’s secret identity and will use it against him.
On a sadder note, IGN reported earlier this year that Arkham City will be Mark Hamill’s final portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime. “This will be my last, there’s no question about that” he said. “But it’s the last hurrah.”
Hurrah indeed. Arkham City hits stores next fall. Watch the VGA trailer below.

If Mammary Serves …
Okay, I went for an easy boob joke in the headline, but when I came across a new batch of screenshots from Batman: Arkham City—the hotly anticipated sequel to Arkham Asylum—breasts were the first thing that came to mind. Maybe it’s because Catwoman’s ample bosom is so prominently displayed in the images. It could also be the fact that the game developers at Rocksteady are seemingly determined to dress Joker henchbabe Harley Quinn in bust-enhancing fetish garb whenever possible. Not that I’m complaining, but still …Titillation (ha!) aside, Arkham City looks like it’s shaping up nicely, and its fall 2011 release window can’t come soon enough. Head over to Kotaku.com to check out more images from the game.
