A character profile for Batman: Arkham City villain Calendar Man has popped up confirming he is, in fact, the tubby fella seen before the VGA teaser trailer was shown last year.
Rocksteady looks to be going for a creepy, Hannibal Lecter-like approach to the character along the lines of the version seen in the stories The Long Halloween and Dark Victory rather than the clownish cape-wearing take of yore. His biog tells us:
"Calendar Man is one of the more circumspect and introverted prisoners. He whiles aways his days obsessing over anniversary schedules, privately reliving every gruesome detail of his monstrous crimes. There is no hope for rehabilitating him; if he ever escapes Arkham City, his criminal plans extend endlessly into the future."

Sigh, not exactly one of Batmans greatest foes is he? But then most of them were used in one way or the other in the first game.
I guess these aren't either but I would of rather seen them.
Cornelius Stirk, Man-Bat, Amygdala.

Watched a Batman Brave and The Bold with the kids, where a kid claiming to be Batman`s biggest fan comes form another dimension, and transforms Calendar Man into a enemy with real powers, and can do things like make pumpkins come to life as evil henchmen etc, good idea, but I reckon calendar man could be a real good choice on a psychological level for Arkham City.
