Are You going to get it?

Which mod approved this?

I did.

OT: I'm looking forward to the game, though I don't think it will be amazingly good I can't pass up on a game with the original (in my mind) voices for Batman and the Joker. it's just too awesome hearing them in the game's trailers.

Ok. He just makes one every other day. So I was skeptical.

I will buy this for the PS3. Just because of the exclusive DLC.

anyone else?

I just hope Two-Face is in this :x Will severely lower the value for me if he is not - Though I will still get it, it looks great.

I'm thinking of getting it. I will have to look into it more.

I will just say this now. The games first review came out and it got a 9.6

il definitely get it it has the original voice cast for a start it pains me to think of it being bad... and i wish they put the joker somewhere on the front cover

anyone else.
