Batman: Arkham City "Basically Finished"

On the latest OPM (Official Playstation Magazine) podcast they talked about how Batman: Arkham City is more or less finished, revealed some new gameplay details and hinted at co-op.

They started off talking about how the game is "basically finished" and the folks at Rocksteady are polishing the game. "They can go through from start to finish", they said.

They mentioned a new move called bullet dive which allows the player to get down from high places at high speeds. I THINK it can also be used for striking down foes as seen in the above image. Another move that will allow you to move through the environment quickly is the boost grapple, this one is for moving upwards.

Detective mode will also be much more involved. Actually requiring the player to think, it will be more like a puzzle. It will also be used for side missions which will be completely optional.

The last thing they talked about was that during the demo they were given they noticed that Catwoman used a lot of Batman's moves to traverse the environment. When they asked Rocksteady, "Will there be co-op?", Rocksteady responded by saying that they weren't talking about that yet.
