New Arkham City trailer shows first look at gameplay

The first gameplay trailer for Batman: Arkham City's gone live, following news of its release date last week.

The clip shows off the first gameplay footage for the Rocksteady action sequel, first teased nearly a good year-and-a-half ago at the Video Game Awards in 2009.

Get the video below (thanks, Blerk). Batman: Arkham City launches on October 18 in the US and October 21 in the UK for PS3, 360 and PC.
