Batman the interrogator in Arkham City

Oh, yes please.  In Arkham City, our ‘friendly’ Dark Knight will be able to interrogate thugs for information.  Now that does sound rather awesome.  Maybe you can beat some sense into the Boy Wonder while you’re at it too?  Err, no, but thug shakedown is good enough thanks.

So says Rocksteady game director Sefton Hill.  Batman has a few more toys, and some of them will be able to spot informants.

“As with nearly every area of the game we’re enhancing it. One example is the criminal database coupled with the new interrogation mechanic. The Riddler continues to taunt the Dark Knight with mind-bending puzzles and exploration challenges, but the location of his biggest secrets are known only to him and people he’s told. Rather than unlocking their locations using maps, Batman will be able to scan a gang of thugs to find a potential informant.”

“This is the guy you need to question, but first you’ll have to take down all the other gang members while sparing the one you want. That can be tough when Batman’s in a seamless FreeFlow combo chain.”
