That's always been his mask, hasn't it? Also, what's wrong with a minimalist boxart? In this day and age it'd be different. The problem is minimalist boxart often looks like placeholder boxart. And this took no effort. It is literally the game's logo on a blank white background. That took them, what, 2 minutes at the most to put together? A boxart can be minimalist whilst still having effort put into it. Case in point, Resistance 3's boxart. That's minimalist, but classy as all f*** and took effort to put together. This? This is as bad as Resident Evil 6's boxart, which everyone at the time thought was just a placeholder.

It is not a blank white background. It's a stone textured white background. whether or not that's better... your mileage may vary... but it's not blank. thought this said "Batman: Arkham Oregon" Well I suppose after Arkham City, Arkham State makes the most sense

It is not a blank white background. It's a textured white background. Ok, it took them 3 minutes to do. Seriously that boxart isn't hard to recreate. Anyone, literally ANYONE, could recreate that after reading a few tutorials for GIMP or Photoshop.

DC doesn't really care about box art, if the GOTY edition and the Dark Knight Rises covers show anything. You don't need to try. just slap Batman on the cover and count your profit.

That......is sadly true. After the eyesore clusterf*** of the AC GotY Edition, it shouldn't be a shock that they don't really try with the boxart.

As I said back when this was still just a rumour, changing developers seems unnecessarily risky. This is still a young franchise, and a bad game this early in its life could potentially damage it.
And as said before, Arkham City had a ton of sequel hooks littered throughout the game. You had the Scarecrow plot, Azrael's prophecy, Hush trying to frame Bruce Wayne, Two-Face becoming the most powerful gang leader, Harley's pregnancy, etc. I don't care much about the story in these games, but it seems really lame to just ignore all that.

Harley's pregnancy was already stated as false in Harley Quinn's Revenge. The rest however stand.

I wish it was based on the 60's series, as it was rumored, and just give it to Suda 51 or Volition.
Bats*** would be an understatement.

Even if that is the final boxart, I'm fine with a more minimalistic style. And to suggest that represents the quality of the game is really stupid. For years the boxart of the Final Fantasy games in Japan was just the logo on a white background and a lot of Western fans really wanted those over the busier US ones.

Also, Batwing will be used to fly around into different parts of the city, once those parts' signal disruptors are disabled it seems. the African Batman?

I think up until they make a Scarecrow game, I'm done with the Arkham series.

Although I think that if both the African DC Batwing and the Marvel Batwing appeared, this would the shit.

For years the boxart of the Final Fantasy games in Japan was just the logo on a white background and a lot of Western fans really wanted those over the busier US ones. The difference is a lot of work goes into the FF logos. Each FF logo is a f***ing work of art. The Batman Arkham logo is the opposite if that. At best it is a slightly modified version of the one used for Arkham City. The cover just screams lazy. Arkham City had a minimalist cover, and it was awesome. Minimalist art looks great when effort is put into it. This cover doesn't look like anyone actually tried.

Glad that Deathstroke (aka 'Slade' from Teen Titans) isn't the big bad, cause he sorta seems like a Robin/B-Team villain ever since he was featured on the CW cartoon.
