OMFG

Mark Hamill, Kevin Conroy!!

Looks cool. Hopefully the game itself is good.

I take it it's based off the Arkham Asylum graphic novel, which might be my favorite Batman gn.
Only difference is that at the beginning this says Joker is apprehended, and springs a trap. As I remember, Joker isn't captive but is rather holding a nurse hostage at Arkham and that's what lures Batman in.

Either way, looks cool.

I think it's an original story, penned by Paul fucking Dini.

Well if it's an original story, it's not entirely original. We shall see how it unfoulds, but the basic idea is the exact same as the graphic novel of the same name.

Batman ends up chasing Joker through Arkham in a trap, where all the nuts are running the nuthouse.
The beginning with Batman and Gordon meeting, and the depiction of Joker seem the same too. Visually it's the same as well. Tone, design, color, etc.
You name it, it matches up.

This is shaping up to be the best batman game ever. It also brings back memories of old Batman show from the 90's with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, glad there voicing them in this.

Think I just came a little.

That looks awesome. So getting amongst that.

Its seems Marks Jokers voice has changed some . But still awesome that hes doing it.

Sexyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Looks like it takes some influence from splinter cell. Not a bad thing.

Rumor: Batman: Arkham Asylum CE only affordable for Bruce Wayne

by David Hinkle { 6 hours ago }
Batman: Arkham Asylum's collector's edition could be a bittersweet proposition, if a GameStop listing is any indication. Bitter in its ridiculous $100 price of admission, sweet in the fact that it includes a 12" batarang. Sure, there are other items in this supposed collector's edition version of the game, such as a DC custom encyclopedia, DLC Pack 1, soundtrack, and behind-the-scenes DVD, but all of that pales in comparison to being able to literally fight crime. Just rent a costume from your local shop, paint your car black, and you, dear friend, are a superhero. Then it's only a matter of finding Falcone ...



lol a batarang

I hope much of the game will involve flying through rings.

I'm actually pretty pumped for this game...might have to preorder it, but I'm running out of money

Sad face

So don't preorder it.

Thanks Kalyx...you've saved me from financial ruin...not sure I'd have been able to do it without you

You left the open-ended post, 'fuck was I supposed to think? I was being nice, albeit with a hint of lighthearted sarcasm but fuck you anyway!!

:foc:

Lol Kalyx

Another Kalyx tirade

I really have high hopes for this game. I hope it plays like manhunt except you kniow they won't allow all the gore.

GDC footage.

Good Lord! I want this so bad. :'(

Holy playing-this-all-day, Batman.

Looks pretty good.

Fucking Gay

Meh it'll be on 360 soon enough.

If they do more content with more villains though :drool:

Has anybody else played the demo of this? God fucking damn that shit's enjoyable. I'll be fucking some dude up, and another goon will roll up behind me and try to kick me in the ribs. I'll catch his fucking leg in mid-move, elbow him in the face, then turn around and be like WHAT BITCH I'M BATMAN.

WHERE'S THE DEMO?!

I played it at the Sony kiosk at Gamestop. D: Is it not on the PS3 network?

No PS3 so I wouldn't know. PS3 owners are getting a lot of Batman love.

If the demo really is PS3 exclusive, I'm going to seriously start questioning who among Sony Entertainment has the championship dick sucking lips.

After some research (i.e., forty seconds on Google), it appears to be a Gamestop thing.


LOL

I checked the XBL Marketplace and there's no such demo. It could be that PSN got it early. It happens.

God dammit, Gamestop!

For those that missed it:

Bane's a monster. Not really his character but I don't mind. Harley's creepy.

I think the "cut me down" at the beginning was subtley alluding to him being mostly sane until... well... OHSHITTHAT'SALOTOFVENOM. OVERDOSEONROIDJUICEIT'SCRAZYTIME

And good job at keeping the guy who broke the Batman hooked on the stuff that helped him do that.

Head of security gets a gold star.
