The director of the development team for Batman: Arkham City announced no multiplayer modes will be included in the game when it goes on sale.
Quote:
"Our thought process behind this was fairly simple. When we investigated adding multiplayer we asked, 'If we use all of the energy that is required to create multiplayer and instead focus this on the single player, would that deliver a better overall game?'
"With the game now coming to the final stages, I can honestly say it would not have been possible to deliver Arkham City the way we wanted to if we'd have added multiplayer."

It is possible multiplayer could come as a DLC update in the future since the team would have the time it needs but as of right now it won't be included in retail copies.
