In regards to your spoiler.... WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
Well the Arkham Knight persona is technically new. WB also misrepresented the size of the roles for Black Mask and Joker in Arkham Origins so this isn't exactly something new. Anyone with a passing familiarity of the comics knew right away who he was, and if the blatant foreshadowing for the uninitiated halfway through the game didn't give it away the voice acting should have.On the other hand they did keep one whopper of a secret regardingFinally managed to download the game and finish the main story, it was pretty good, lots of references to the Batman lore and pretty wicked sometimes. But I was also a bit disappointed by the identity of the Arkham Knight, Rocksteady said it would be an original character, created for the game, and well it wasn't really. Plus how the hell did he find the money to finance all these men and drones ? Anyway, I'm trying to finish the game at 100%, but there are a few firemen, bombs and these laser detectors that still elude me.
I agree with you about Tara Strong. I think they should have stuck with her to be the voice of Barbra Gordon, but as you said this might be bias because I thought she did an excellent job in B:TAS.Kevin Conroy's already been confirmed (and sorta spilled the beans a year or two ago on twitter anyway).
I'm kind of disappointed that it's Tara Strong again as Harley, I don't like her take on the character nearly as much as Arleen Sorkin but that may be the B:TAS fan in me. Batmobile is drivable and will be required for some Riddler challenges. Penguin, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Harley, and Hush are confirmed villains, along with the titular "Arkham Knight."
Also, no multiplayer. I don't know if it's a dig at WB Montreal, but Rocksteady is saying they're too busy focusing on making the best single player experience they can to bother with multiplayer. That was enough for me to preorder this
Never cared for Tara Strong replacing Arleen Sorkin as Harley, but this has been the least objectionable installment of Tara Strong as Harley for me. It was painful in Arkham City.
