Looks different than the first, but it still looks good. Pretty excited for this.
Way way better than the first.
Funny thing is, even with its style, they still managed to pull off the "dark" and gory look to it so its all good.
Anyways, can't wait!

Still, I would say that screenshots from this game doesn't look as good as seeing this game in motion.

The original game had much more of a realistic, semi muted color palette and dark tone, while the sequel went for over saturated colors and a cell shaded comic book look, while still maintaining a somewhat dark tone. Personally, I prefer the first games art style, but mainly because I don't think the sequel does a very good job of cell shading. See Borderlands 2 for a game that does it well. That being said, I don't hate the look of the sequel and I wouldn't say someone is WRONG for preferring it...
Being said that you prefered an art style that was not meant for this game being its a comic inspired game.
NOthing wrong though.

Also, I'm pretty sure that it isn't a rule that every game containing a comic book character HAS to be cell shaded. Batman Arkham Asylum is pretty much the best comic character game of all time, and wasn't cell shaded. The graphics were amazing because they used the combination of great technology and a great (non cell shaded) art style.
