i don't think you can lose. judging from reviews they both are pass 9's flying colors. I only played the first batman and that was fun. But havn't played new one. I have played dark souls (playing now) and thats blast. Im assuming you can put more hrs in dark souls so. IDK I don't think you can go wrong on any of those two games

Batman will bring you a more constant stream of pure happiness and bliss, gliding around the city is crazy fun, however you probably won't play it nearly as long as Dark Souls can last you. Dark Souls is also an exceptional game but it's very hard and you will die a lot, you will yell at your tv, you'll probably even throw your controller (I did) but when you defeat the bosses are get past a certain spot that's been bugging you, you'll receive a gaming euphoria unlike any other. Batman is literally the best super hero game out there but once again, you will probably get more game time in Dark Souls as it took me roughly 70+ hours to complete while Batman is around 20 hours. Don't get me wrong 20 hours is a great amount of game time but if you're on a budget you'll probably want a game that will last you longer.

They're both great games, but I think Dark Souls will give you more playtime. Plus I think Batman could be getting a complete edition or drop in price faster...

Both are worthy of a purchase, but if I had to choose between the two I would go with Batman.

I'm playing Dark Souls right now (Batman hasn't been released on europe yet) and it's an outstanding game.

I don't know if I should get Batman now or later this year :P

If I get it now it would be only because I want to support the developers as I have no time to play right now.

Both games offer different things.

I am playing Batman right now and it is amazing. Go with that.

Depends... do you want to have fun (Batman) or experience some frustration (Dark Souls)? Basically, whatever you're in the mood for... go for it. It's your decision

I haven't played Batman but there's bad and good to Dark Souls. There's a very very high frustration factor in it at times, more than Demon's Souls. If you're not into fighting lots of annoying enemies and doing the same thing over and over until you get it right, then look elsewhere. Plus the game has some real technical issues at times that has hurt my experience with it a good amount. On the good side, there are some cool zones and if you can take the frustration, there's a ton of time to be poured into Dark Souls if you wanted to. You could be playing it for a long time.

if you like rpg's go with DS if not go with Batman AC, both are good games and both are worth playing.

Well, that depends on if you want to be frustrated throughout an entire game while playing it because on how hard the difficulty is.

I have played Demon's Souls and it is soo fraking difficult to play that I had stop playing it and probably will never get back to it, and I read that Dark Souls is alot harder.

Now the Batman games are alot of fun to play, and are some of the best games that I have played.

If you haven't played Batman Arkham Asylum yet and would like to or have played it and would like to play it again then get it at Walmart. Buy Batman Arkham City at Walmart and get Batman Arkham City for free. It is the best deal for Batman Arkham City from any store.
