There's no concrete information here, just wishful fantasies.

Batman Armored Edition will not run in 60 fps. It's too hard to get that stability from the Wii U hardware when you're only a third party developer porting a one year old game with a limited budget.


Source?

 

To be fair, the thread itself is not really built on stable source, it's just another IdeaMan/NeoGAF post. It could go either way. I see no reason why Arkham City could not run @ 60 FPS. But it's third party. The bottom line is WE DON'T KNOW. So there is no point in guaranteeing one way or asuming like its a done deal the other way.

No direct source, but what we do know is:

1). all these reports of Wii U being very roughly on par with the PS360 (although I don't take those rumors and statements literally, but still it hints us that the Wii U is definitely not a power-house)

2). all games displayed so far including the ones who were analyzed by the Eurogamer guy show (among them Batman Armored Edition) that graphics and performance of the launch period Wii U games will be on par with PS360.

And Batman being 60fps would require nearly twice the rendering power of a X360 that ran Batman in an unstable 25-40fps. On top of that you got the power needed for the Wii U controller plus the visual enhancements to Batman Armored Ed. All in all this will not happen so early in a gen by a lazy third party dev doing a late port.
