That's nice to hear. You gotta understand the rumors when the last big game IO made was a flop, and the next one they announce is an extreme departure from their standard formula.
I'm excited as fuck for Mini Ninjas anyway, I'm so damn nostalgic for games like these. Almost makes me wanna buy a playstation so I can play it on that. 
2 million units sold is hardly a flop now is it 
That's more of a merit to the Eidos marketing department, now isn't it 
Quote from JetsetlemmingLol, that's a gaming podcast run by a guy from Gamespy. https://www.eat-sleep-game.com/news/200 ... 29-081309/
Idle Thumbs (run by a guys from Shacknews and Gamasutra):
I think it might've been Idle Thumbs I heard it on since they specifically mention Batman: Dark Asylum in the show notes.
PS You should listen to Idle Thumbs regardless of any Batman/Hitman rumors, it's by far the best gaming podcast out there. The last two episodes have been the funniest shit I've heard in weeks.
Haven't really heard those podcasts, but have you checked out ListenUp? (formerly 1up yours). By far the Best games podcast IMO.
Oh and yeah, I dont even get how those "rumors" about the next Hitman got this far. AFAIK they were shot Down fairly quickly.
I tried it a couple weeks ago but the host went on this big obnoxious rant about Yakuza 3 and shit, assuming that it costs nothing to localize a big open world game like that to English, and admitting he didn't even buy Yakuza 2, but still indignantly raging on the US game market and Sega's decision to not bring it over. Really annoying.

Agreed, try and give this weeks ListenUP a second change tho. Ive veen listening to 1up yours and now this for about 3 years now and its become this thing i really look forward to each week. Still not as great as 1up yours at its peak, but i still Think its pretty damn good.

I listened again and this time he referred to some Madden features as a "Trail of Tears".
There is no facepalm big enough, I'm ashamed this guy has the same general hobby as I do.

Played it today on gamescom on the wii.
I guess I have to play more then 5 min to tell more about it. Will try the demo out.
Finally got the chance of beating the game last weekend. Quite good, even if the first hour is really boring.
