Rumor: Batman: Arkham Asylum II May Get Some Robin

Is
Rocksteady's superb Batman video game series already reaching the point
of Robin? So says a listing for Batman: Arkham Asylum II at the
occasionally factual Internet Movie Database. That could be bad news...
or it could be good.
The bad depends on your tastes, whether you consider the lone wolf
Batman to be superior to the dynamic duo version. The positive
perspective could be the theoretical addition of cooperative play in
the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum, something we've just been groomed
to expect from our current and future releases.
Regardless of your feelings, the IMDB listing for the game credits
Vincent Martella with Robin voice acting duties. He plays Robin in the
Batman: Under the Red Hood animated feature as well as Hope in the
newly released Final Fantasy XIII. He's listed alongside Bruce
Greenwood as the voice of Two-Face, also appearing in Batman: Under the
Red Hood.
Perhaps the IMDB entry editing powers that be simply confused the
two projects, but we've contacted Warner Bros. reps to try to clear
this up.
Update: Warner Bros. reps respond, saying "To our
knowledge, what you asked about is inaccurate information. We are not
yet discussing details for the sequel." We'd prefer a hard and fast
"No!" or "Yeah, he's totally in it." but that's about as clear as WB is
making things right now.
