I would just like to say that "Arkham City" is a very stupid name which will not keep me from buying the game.

What would you name it? I mean it's set in Arkham city after all..


I'd have called it "Mad City" or "Gotham Burning" or something.  Arkham was just a place in Gotham City named after the guy that built it.  It's like calling a city that has a Wal-Mart something like "Wal-City".  I'm sure they have their reasons, though.  The guys responsible for the last game had close ties to the makers of the comic.  Maybe everything will fall into place.

I think it will be more along the lines of something like this -

All the inmates from Arkham have escaped, and a huge number of Batman's enemies already in the city, have also taken over. Penguin, for instance. Two-Face. Etc.

Gotham has been put on lockdown, and basicly just shut down and left with all the criminals/villains inside. Batman goes in to restore order, and get Gotham back!

Edit: I should expand on that, as I got carried away with the Story, ratrher than why it's called Arkham City

What i mean is, they locked it down... And it gets the nickname of "Arkham City" due to it being like all the inmates/criminals/everything, all locked into the City. Like it was just one huge Arkham Asylum.
