Awesome trailer though, love the way she moves and fights, seems like a fully realised feature rather than something tacked on.
Hope its more of a side story rather than part of the main campaign. The whole point of the game is that "you are batman" and any break in that mantra weakens it.
Oh man, that looks fucking killer, and Catwoman does look like a blast to play.
So far, she's the only character in Rocksteady's line of Batman games that I'm not super keen on the design of. I'm just not a fan of the exposed face/goggles combo. Just a minor gripe that won't affect my enjoyment of the game one bit.

She looks insane.
I wonder how they will balance it so Catwoman isn't just way more fun than playing as Batman
Their (Batman and Catwomen) styles are so different that people will prefer one over the other. The balance will surround 'access' if each gameplay/ character type recieve enough air time so to speak, I think that the gameplay differences would serve as a change of pace instead of a hindrance for anyone that prefers Catwomen over Batman and vice versa.

Agreed. If she's in there as maybe a new way to get into places Batman can't access, AND she has new gadgets/moves/etc, then I welcome it. Pardon my language, but fuck anyone who would complain that they don't get to play as Batman the whole time if that ends up being the case.
I think Rocksteady is clever to make her being playable as part of the story, instead of another feature to tack on the box.
"As he wrapped up the demo, Ginn shared a few more details on what to expect from Catwoman in the game. Her narrative will only make up about 10 percent of the whole game which will amount to only a handful of switches to her for the story. However you'll want to invest some time with her and engaging in unique side missions to earn experience to level her up as well as collect those Riddler trophies."
Might sound like a bad thing, having so little of her, but I trust Rocksteady with their clever design decisions like not pandering to the fanbase with playable Bat vehicles.
Of course, it'd be extra fucking cool if there was a separate free-roam mode or NG+ where you can run around as Catwoman in a sandbox way.

Damn, there's like a TON of Horatio jokes you could do! :D
Anyway, I really enjoyed the first game. Don't think it will be any different with this one!
