Scarecrow Challenge Map "Dem Bones" (Pictures Inside)
|
http://www.gamestop.com/gs/landing/bmaa/
As you can see, there is a countdown that expires in a little over 24 hours from the time of this post.
What does everyone think it is? Personally, the gas fumes lead me to believe it has something to do with the in-game challenge map provided by gamestop. Possibly footage of the room? Maybe we get some footage of the Scarecrow, whom I believe is a villain involved in the content?
I can't wait.  EDIT: Edit: Jul 23, 09

Hm, it's probably some bonus content given by Gamestop if you pre-order it or something. Anyway, I hope it's another villain. Like Penguin, I don't think he's in the game.

Well, we already know that Gamestop is offering an EXCLUSIVE in-game challenge map when you pre-order from them. And from what we know, the map is titled "Crime Alley".
Considering the timer is attached to that exclusive offer, it must be some type of footage of the map and/or the Scarecrow. I'm interested to know what the Scarecrow looks like too. Hopefully as badass as his B:TAS appearance.
As for the Penguin; I know he was mentioned in a magazine article as an Arkham inmate, but he hasn't been confirmed at any point by Rocksteady.

Double post ftw!
Alright, guys; If you follow the link in the first post, there is now four different images revealing a bit of the Scarecrow challenge map called "Dem Bones".
Also, highlight the "PREORDER TODAY" bit on the left side of the page to see an image of the Scarecrow.
I'll be the first to say; He looks *bleep*ing awesome. What a great character design.

Scarecrow is the only design I don't like so far. Pretty awesome how you get to fight skeletons though. I have a new theory, judging by the comic cover and full achievement list, it looks the main villians in the story are Joker, Harley, Bane, Croc, Scarecrow, Ivy and Zsasz. The other villians, will likely play only smaller roles in the story, cameos, or completely relegated to the Challenge mode. Which is pretty disappointing, because I thought Two-Face and Mr. Freeze would be more predominantly featured. Or maybe they are just really good at being secretive, but I don't think they would hold back on giving you trophies for beating certain bosses just to surprise you.

Wow. What don't you like about Scarecrow's look? I think its one of the best designs for him I have ever seen. His face is creepy as hell, it looks like he has some sort of breathing aparatis on his face, and the dude's got *bleep*in syringes attached to his left hand (most likely holding his fear toxin).
I maybe wish he had some kind of cloak on over his body, but its a minor qualm.
And I myself never expected that many "MAIN" villains. The ones you mentioned sounds about right. But, lets be real here; If this game does well (which it will), we're going to get another game. That for certain will feature a number of new enemies.
EDIT: I edited the first post with the Scarecrow image.

Now that I can see him more clearly, I like the freddy kruger-like Finger Needles. I think he looks better on the comic cover, I guess it's the color scheme. I've never really liked the way he looked, except for Bruce Timm's redesign on New Batman Adventures or whatever it was called, that is by far the coolest look for him.
I definitely think they're holding a few things back, like the Batboat. There's also that Blue Beetle rumor, which is mentioned on a lot of sites but never in any magazine articles I've seen. I've also seen an article that mentions Clayface, but until I see some consistent concept art I will remain skeptical.

You must be talking about this look. Yeah, that one is definitely my all-time favorite Scarecrow design. Not only did he look badass, but his voice was creepy and he was a really intimidating villain. However, this B:AA design might be my second favorite Scarecrow. It's just something we haven't seen before.
I expect upon release of the game, we'll find a lot of things that weren't released to fans prior to launch. I imagine Rocksteady doesn't want to spoil too much. But, I doubt we see Freeze for whatever reason. He seems like too big of a villain to reduce to a minor role, but I cant see him being a central figure.
Penguin too, but we'll see.

The only thing about The Penguin is that he's one of the only criminals that doesn't get taken away to Arkham when he's captured. he goes to regular prison. So d you think they'll include him in teh game?

The second scarecrow image DMD posted I do not like at all. I mean sure the voice was creepy but really the overall design pales in comparison to the one in the first post. But I must admit that this game is featuring more enemies from the batman realm I didn't think would show up.
I don't know if we'll see Mr.Freeze or Penguin in here. I think this game is good enough where you don't need a sequel to AA but rather a different batman game focusing on a different main character. Just my thoughts.

The image linked to in the first post looks as though it could pass for a Reaper Conduit in inFamous.... Quite good though, but I'd rather Mr. Freeze be in than Scarecrow... He was cool (pun intended)

Nobody knows. Maybe, maybe not. Right now, the only sure thing is that you get THIS map when you pre-order from Gamestop. You could take a chance on getting the game elsewhere and hoping the content is released down the line, but you might end up disappointed.
I'm just pumped because I'm getting two challenge maps. "Dem Bones" and then "Crime Alley" from pre-ordering the Collectors Edition.

I assume this content will be some sort of code you get with the game and you'll have to have a Live connection to enter it?
Also, Scarecrow looks *bleep*ing weird.

Boost my ego and listen to that. It'll be cool.
