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.

Reminds me of the "No Man's Land" storyline from the late 90's.  But since that storyline was awesome, with a side of awesome, and topped with a bottle of awesome sauce with a glass of ice cold awesome to wash it down, then I think that a game like that would be awe---, err, nice.
