A New Awesome Non-Existent Trailer for Arkham City
Are Batman and the Joker going to fight side-by-side in the upcoming Batman: Arkham City game? Is there going to be a two-player co-op mode where the Joker serves as the Dark Knight’s Boy Wonder? No. Of course not. This video — excellent though it might be — is just a fan-made trailer using both the models from the first game, as well as dialogue, so please rest assured this isn’t going to happen. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s not entertaining — and kind of disturbingly thrilling — to watch the Joker and Batman work together to take out a group of thugs. Thanks to HalfAzedNinja for the tip.
