New ARKHAM CITY Screenshots Reveal Deadshot's In-Game Look

It has recently been revealed that the Dark Knight will have to take on the deadly sniper in the upcoming sequel game, and now the first images of the sharp-shooting villain have hit the net.

The story for Arkham City takes place one year after the events of Arkham Asylum. Quincy Sharp, former warden of Arkham Asylum, has taken credit for stopping the Joker, and used that notoriety to become mayor of Gotham City. As neither Arkham nor Blackgate Prison are in any condition to hold inmates, Sharp buys out a large section of Gotham's slums and arms the perimeter with private military contractors from a group called Tyger in order to create "Arkham City". The prisoners are brought into Arkham City and are given free rein, as long as they do not attempt escape. To oversee the city, Sharp uses psychiatrist Hugo Strange who appears to have his own secret agenda for the city. Batman maintains a vigil over the city, worried that the situation may get out of hand.

According to Rocksteady Studios' Sefton Hill, Deadshot will appear in the upcoming game disguised himself as an Arkham Asylum inmate. Unfortunately for hardcore fans, Deadshot’s mask and colorful bodysuit will not make appearances (he will instead wear a torn Arkham inmate uniform). He will be identifiable by his trademark monocle eye-piece and wrist mounted guns.

Batman: Arkham City will release on October 18 in North America, October 19 in Australia, and October 21 in Europe. The game is set to release for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.
