Check Me Into Arkham Asylum

The following is a teaser for the Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is set to come out next year.



Paul Dini, creator of the classic Batman: The Animated series is writing the story. Additionally B:TAS vets Kevin Conroy (Bruce Wayne/Batman) and Mark Hamil (The Joker) will reprise their roles for the game.

As both an avid comic book fan and a gamer, I think this could shape up to be a unique superhero gaming experience. The best we've had is the free roaming in Spider-Man's adventures, but there's such a breadth of material and experiences out there. We haven't even scratched the surface.

This may be DC's first great game. Although, with DC's track record, even a good game will look positively glowing in comparison.

I often suffer epileptic flashbacks of Superman 64. I have my good days and my bad days, but the medication helps.

I think this will be a pretty okay game. For some reason the Unreal 3 engine makes everyone look big and bulky; especially Commissioner Gordon.
