DAILY MANIFESTONo Batman: Arkham City Spoilers Here!Posted on Friday, September 30 @ 11:36:45 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
![]() There are literally tons of places you can go for all of your gaming news. We live and work and play in an industry designed around fantasy, suspense, and action. Games are growing more and more capable of drawing players in and teaching them or titillating them or even surprising them. One thing I'd personally like to recognize, as someone anticipating many games as hotly as you are, is the power of destruction spoilers can have. News today surfaced from a very recent Batman: Arkham City preview event that's made a splash as revealing a major spoiler from the game's campaign. It's true that Rocksteady's Machismo of Marketing Dax Ginn was on hand to inform journalists that they were more than welcome to report on this spoiler. It's also true that it should the choice of the gamer whether they are in on it or not. Let's be very clear: GameRevolution isn't about to spoil Batman: Arkham City or any other game in such a way. If you want spoilers, we can deliver them to you, but we're not about to plaster them all over our front page. We're not going to tell you what happens or what doesn't happen. We're not going to paper over it by saying that what we saw could be misdirection. That's bull shit. I'm frankly pissed at having something so important spoiled for me today. If you've been the victim of spoilers today, or at anytime in the growing pantheon of video games, share that hurt with us in the comments. While you're doing that, enjoy some new Batman: Arkham City screens.

and I was spoiled. I was reading, and since I read fast, I suddenly stopped and said "What?"
I stared at it, and this angered me greatly. No Shaded out words that you highlight to get it if you wanted, it was there, in plain text, staring at me. "(Spoiler alert)....BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP"(I'm not going to spoil)
It made me think about how much has already been spoiled in this game. The constant supervillain reveals in those awesome videos. Its spoiling! I'd be super stoked playing the game to suddenly have to tussle with Solomon Grundy, who I had ZERO clue would be in it, if I wasnt already Spoiled.
Spoilers Ruin Games.
My Batman Arkham City experiance has been soiled by IGN, and later Kotaku parroting it.

Apparently Bruce had the same idea.
Looks like they put a lot of thought into the costume to make the details believable. Nice touches. I wonder if the costume damage is now dynamic, or just happens at specific points in the game like in the last game. Not that dynamic costume damage is a big selling feature... unless it happens to Catwoman and Harley Quinn ;)
