Batman: Arkham Asylum trailers
Brian Eison
Hitting multiple gaming systems this summer, Batman: Arkham Asylum will look to do what no other Batgame has ever done. To not only take you inside an Arkham Asylum that will be familiar to comic readers, but also to give those same fans a chance to act as Batman would when faced with the situations in the game.
Gamers will be challenged to take out more than a dozen of Batman’s toughest foes while also battling against Arkham’s own defense systems turned against him. However this promises to be more than just a combat game as Batman’s stealth and detective skills will also be put to the test in order to make his way to the Joker and save Gotham.
Developers claim that this game is based on the more than 70 year history of Batman as published by DC Comics. However there is a more than subtle nod to Batman’s history in animation as well, with the familiar voices of Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill lending their talents to the project. Check out two trailers from Gametrailers.com below for a look at what you can expect in 3 months.
Written by fan favorite Paul Dini, art by Wildstorm Studios, development by Rocksteady Studios and published by both Eidos and WB Interactive Entertainment, the game is set for release on June 9th. Keep and eye on the game’s official site for future updates.

This could be either really good or really bad. I got my money on it being really bad.
This looks really cool, but seriously, can batman games get any cooler than Lego Batman?
I absolutely HATED the Arkham Asylum book but this trailer gives me shivers. The atmosphere is just so damn creepy.
Here is a link to some interesting tidbits from SDCC concerning the game:
