Mr. Freeze is Coming to Batman: Arkham City August 16, 2011

Add another to the list of Batman’s rogue’s gallery!  Dr. Victor Fries is coming to Arkham City in the guise of his alter ego, Mr. Freeze!

The appearance they’re going for him this time around is different than any design I’ve seen for Mr. Freeze in the past.  Mr. Freeze has appeared in a few Batman video games in the past.  He appeared in Batman: Vengeance (multiplatform), voiced by his original voice actor from Batman: The Animated Series.  He also appeared in Batman: Dark Tomorrow (PS2 and GameCube), which is only worth playing for the cutscenes.

His suit almost has the appearance of a walking tank, instead of life support armor, as he normally wears.  This is not unheard of, if he intended to go into battle with Batman, he would wear something like this.  I also really like how he can turn on and off the infared light in his goggles, making him seem more human when he’s not ready to fight, and lose that humanity when he is ready to fight.

Batman: Arkham City is coming October 4th, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
