Sure, Batman: Arkham City may be chock full of references for fans of comic lore, but did you know Batman can also punch bad guys in the face?

If that trailer doesn't quench your bat-thirst, check out Xav's GDC preview and interview with marketing game manager Dax Ginn. Batman is set to start hunting hapless Arkham lackeys on October 18.
