No one can wreak a little mayhem the way the Joker does. Who better than him to be the one to mess up Batman's day? He does it so well that it's actually more fun to get into the story with Joker more than Batman sometimes. Aaaaanyway, here's the official trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).



Looking pretty good. Joker turns himself in, takes over Arkham, and bands together with the rest of Gotham's scum to take the Dark Knight out of the picture. Not bad, not bad at all. If the gameplay's good, this might actually be a real keeper.

Wow. That was surprisingly dark. I loved it. They better make sure this game gets an M rating. I dont want them aiming for a T.

I want a Joker game. F*** Batman I want to play as the Joker he is the most interesting of all the villains in any comic. This game will probably suck like every Batman games. Funny how I always get suckered to buy them back then too.

WTF?

"Incorrect date format"? Christ, is Gamespot so retarded that its video's break if accessed outside the US or something? I mean, I'm filling in the boxes presented to me, and it still breaks. Lame...

OK. I'm sold. I want this game.

Actually I was thinking the same thing. It's got an MGS feel to it. Especially that split-second at the 1:18 mark. This is shaping up pretty well. Love the cinematic treatment they gave it - and suddenly I wish they turned this into a movie too! Damn, I have to read the graphic novel now. Props to the devs for getting Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill in the voice cast. This is gonna be amazing. YEAH!

please

please let this get an m rating

I think

that it will be rated M.. That's why there's a content advisory in the beginning.. One can only hope. This looks AMAZING. The plot seems solid and so far all that's given is that the Joker seemingly trapped Batman in Arkham Asylum.. This has to be a movie. The vocal work seems top notch, the graphics are dark, gritty, and amazing, and if this game is rated M, the irony will be great because MK vs DC was T. That's the only thing that keeps me confused about the M.. I guess because it's not Batman beating the crap out of people, it's scenes of horror? I don't know, but MAN THIS LOOKS GREAT.

It's not Mature

It's rated T for Teen.. Just went to GameStop to pick up MGS4 and was talking to the guy about when it might come out and he looked it up. According to his computer, it's May 1st (he did say that it's just there so they can sell preorders), and that it has been rated T. For Teen.

They can be wrong, like always with their date release.

Hopefully I'm wrong.. but http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Arkham-Asylum-Xbox-360/dp/B001E8VB3C But yes, you may be right and I hope you are.. But remember, MK vs DC was rated T because DC didn't want the Mature rating (and I'm sure Midway wanted to sell to more people to save their butts).. You gotta keep that in mind.
