After a ridiculous number of leaks, yesterday we finally got official confirmation of the remastered Arkham Asylum and City collection Batman: Return To Arkham.Both games have been revamped in Unreal Engine 4 by studio Virtuos who previously gave Heavy Rain its lick of HD paint. 

Helpfully we can already see exactly how good the revamped lighting and textures are thanks to Blackfire561 on Reddit who has compared the HD action in the trailer to the previous generation. So far, it's not looking bad at all and this is from moving action sequences. I fear for my Share button.
