Also right at the start I felt I was dropped into the middle without much explanation or setup. Where as Arkham asylum did a much better job of getting you into the plot. I still enjoyed it and I thought overall the game mechanics and construction were better than the first. But I found myself lacking the same amazement and feeling of wanting more that arkham asylum brought me.
One of those weird decisions, a lot of the backstory/gap between the two games is explained in the comic series that came out this year.

Mostly, how Arkham City was set up, the emerging faction wars between Joker/Two-Face/Penguin and of course Hugo Strange's presence.
