New Batman game announced

whinkle | August 12, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 3

A brand new title in the Batman video game series has been confirmed. This one will not be related to The Dark Knight (that idea was scrapped).

The title, called Batman: Arkham Asylum will be published by Eidos and developed by Rocksteady Studios.

This completely original title explores Gotham City’s darkest location, the infamous Arkham Asylum. But as a routine prison transfer goes wrong, the Joker sets his demented plan into action and Batman comes face to face with an army of his worst enemies.

  Wow, Silver Mirror, you've either got some great deductive skills and a great knowledge of Batman,
  
  OR
  You read it there in the quote from the article.

Doubt I'd get it tbh. Most super hero games turn out crap. I'll wait for reviews and people's opinions (on this site).

  Batman games are one of few hero-based games that actually has good games in its past collection.... Unlike Superman. Ugh, I *bleep*ing swear, after playing Superman 64 I will never touch another Superman game.

Please tell me this takes into account the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum the comic.

That would be so badass.

It would be badass if it did go like the comic book. Man that would be the most sickest game ever.

I'm glad it's not based on The Dark Knight.

Looks alright, but only time will tell...

Please make this be good! The fact that it's not based on The Dark Knight is encouraging.

I'm just assuming but I believe that Lego Batman will be better than this.

This better not be bad, since tdk just came out, it should have the amount of awesomeness tdk had.

I shudder to think what would have happened if the Dark Knight went through as a game idea.

This actually has the potential to be good, will be keeping an eye on it.
