After that nasty run by Jim Lee and Frank Miller on Batman and Robin, and the awesome run on All-star Superman by Frank Quietly and Grant Morrison, all I can say is that can’t wait to get my hands on Quietly and Morrison’s Batman and Robin.

Recently, I reported on a contest at Project Rooftop, Batman 2.0: The Dynamic Do-over, that had artists submitting their designs of a costume redesign of the Caped Crusader, Batman. The contest has ended and the winners have been posted.
I have to admit that a lot of the designs are awesome. The contestants all show a lot of potential as character designers and this is one of the best results from all of the contests to date. Head on over to the contest results to see for your self!
Grand Prize Winner: Anjin Anhut

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.
