Whoa….. I played through the demo, and while I agree it's great for an action game, there's no way I would ever compare it to those titles.
I'm with JDR - it is a really good game, but it is a comic-based action game, not a RPG … no need to start making those comparisons.
"Holy reading too much into what I said Batman!" I wasn't comparing it to those games, simply stating how it rates on my personal list of favorites. Nothing more nothing less.

Man, I don't know how you feel about IGN reviews, but this guy seemed pretty reasonable in his assessment. And he IS spot on, trust me.
I think anyone would find the game enjoyable, even if they aren't familiar with the Batman universe. Plus it helps you along - unlocking character bios as you progress through the game. I think it would be hard to play the game and NOT turn into a huge Batman fan. It connects on emotional level that intense. Specifically speaking about the run-in with the Scarecrow. Holy ****!
