As if the upcoming premiere weren’t enough, those of us who are also video game fans have also enjoyed some graphically inviting scenes from Batman: Arkham City, the video game followup to the 2009 hit Arkham Asylum.

USA Today‘s article reveals some hot graphics from the video game, and quotes the game director Sefton Hill, who says that it was only natural for the game to return to Gotham City, Batman’s “spiritual home.” Warner Bros’ community page for the game adds:

Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

Well, with Warner Bros‘ Batman: Arkham City release and Ubisoft‘s recent release of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, it’s not hard to imagine what millions of people will be doing this weekend. Enjoy, everyone!
