Batman Arkham Asylum - Image 1


Some of you have probably already seen this while walking around PlayStation Home (image from Kotaku), but as it turns out, the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum will be getting some exclusive DLC. It's called the Joker Challenge Map, and ta-dah, it lets you play as the killer clown himself. Ya, srsly.

As some of you may know, Challenge Map DLC lets you go through stages (err, rooms of Arkham, to be exact) in some sort of time trial mode. Aside from this new Joker Challenge Map, a previous one that's been confirmed is the Crime Alley DLC, which comes exclusive for those who buy the Collector's Edition.

It does come as strange why Eidos would advertise this DLC on Home waaay before the game gets released, but that's still fine nonetheless. Viral hype much?

We got a press release about the special Joker DLC, and it says that the June edition of the Official PlayStation Magazine will be rolling out more details about it.

Eidos Interactive's Batman: Arkham Asylum for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC is currently scheduled for release sometime this June.

Only worth getting if the game is good. I'm sure that this game is going to suck like almost all superhero games do.

» if the game is good then imma get it on ps3

first ill have to see the reviews from people not the sites that are paid on the rating just like movies. If its good then for the ps3 i go cause of the DLC. Atleast sony's learning from MS now hopefully this exclusive DLC is good enough sounds like you can only play with joker for like 5 mins cause its time trial.

I know. An exclusive character would make a few people mad.



Just think how mad PS3 owners were when Xbox 360 got exclusive DLC for Fallout 3!



And this is a character! Not packs that add hours more game time, and raises the level cap so you can keep enjoying the game longer than the PS3 counterpart players!



X360 owners must be so mad right now!

I wasn't mad when Fallout 3 got Xbox360 exclusive. Just more hours of the damn crap tedious excuse that title calls 'gameplay'. To have to sit through more of that is my own personal hell.
