There have been plenty of new game announcements brought by the Spike Video Game Awards. Probably the biggest game announcement was Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, which was showcased during the show’s opening. Many of the viewers noticed the sickly Joker at the end of the trailer with the devious Harley Quinn, but did they notice the other villain reveals?

Following a tweet by Geoff Keighley asking who else has seen the other villains revealed in the debut trailer, an author from the website Ripten.com went on a search for the 4 possible villain reveals for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2. Of course, The Joker and Harley Quinn were shown at the end of the trailers, but what were the others? It seems only three of the villains were found at the time of this writing.

The first picture would most likely make a person scream, “Mr. Freeze!”, though that is not the case. Iceberg is actually the name of a lounge owned by The Penguin, named the Iceberg Lounge.

The second picture shows a sign with the name of “Sionis”. The Batman villain The Black Mask, has the real name of Roman Sionis.

two-face

Many anticipated gamers probably went to the ArkhamHasMoved website last night following the Arkham Asylum 2 trailer. If you did in fact visit, you may have seen the image above. Obviously the villain show here is Two-Face, who is flipping a coin and holding a gun. Two-Face was mentioned in the first Arkham Asylum title, yet made no physical appearance.

What other villains do you want in the sequel? Post your comments below!

    Hopefully clayface is in it when i saw him in the first arkham asylum i was so pissed i couldn’t free him and fight him.

    Lastly i hope the bosses are tougher and i hope the fights aren’t as repitive as the first.

    it doesn’t matter because as long as Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil lend their voices again u will buy it

    I’d like to see catwomen, and be able to drive the Batmobile/Batboat.

  6. Rush Limbaugh would make a wonderful villain…

    Oh wait we’re talking about someone who is a batman villain not someone in general just trying to destroy or take over the country with an insane psychologically questionable point of view.

    I think he’d still fit just fine in the Batman Universe if done properly however. :P

  7. You mean the villains currently in the White House aren’t enough for you?

    You know the ones: everything is an emergency, and has to be done immediately, before anyone has a chance to see what is being changed? You know, $750 Billion dollar stimulus to prevent inflation from going above 8.5% and create, or at least save, jobs. Oooops. What happened there? Unemployment above 10%. Or, the ones that are pushing man made climate change, because they’ve got a lot of money tied up into Cap and Trade, even though we are in an 11 year cooling cycle and polar bear populations are actually 4 times greater than 10 years ago? Al Gore looked good the other day saying Climategate were emails from 10 years ago. Lol Some were from as recent as November 2009. How DO you take scientific comments out of context, anyway?

    Why did you think this was a political forum?

    I think the villians that would make a great appearnce in number 2, would be Catwoman and ManBat. Catwoman would be a great character for side missions. I would love to have a cat and mouse chase on the ruff tops of Gotham city. And ManBat would be a great addition for a new face and a new fight. He dosen’t get enough credit and he is one of, if not second strongest to bane of batman’s foes. And now that I’m thinking about it, a very good challenge of a foe would be lady shiva. The martial arts that batman performed in the first one was truly the way it was ment to be but to really raise the bar lady shiva would be an great addition. Or Ra’s Al Ghul (if they could find a way to put him in the story), Maybe he’s coming in to destroy gotham because of its current condition. And from what was shown on the video, Gotham seems to be out of control. Either way I’m buying it.

  9. I really liked how in the first one there were references made to tons of villains and heroes from the world of Batman. Clearly they all wouldn’t make it into the game, but the little puzzles and other details were nice. That said, I wouldn’t expect every one they reference in the next game to make it either. What would be nice if a lot of the characters they mentioned that didn’t make it the first time came around this time, like two-face, the penguin, clayface, etc… whatever happens though, I’m sure it’ll be cool.

  10. Arnold needs to do the voice and they need to add Mr. Freeze, Two-face is a great addition I was waiting for him to pop out in the first one. Oh also the ending I saw had the Killer Crock hand grab the box, so hopefully there will be a better killer crock fight and he will be a titan this time. The penguin will be an interesting one to have added.

    Ooh maybe Devito can voice the penguin!!!

  12. Ok……Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, Mad Hatter, actually fight the Riddler, Clay Face, ooh ooh Phantasm lol, Rhas Al Goul……not sure how you spell it :3, Man-Bat, Two Face would be cool……..I think thats all I could think of

    I LOVE when companies do shit like this, it just makes the hype so great.

    Hidden clues kick ass.
