Here we have the newest trailer for “Arkham Asylum” the latest Batman game. I’m a comic book fan myself, so I am very much looking forward to this game. The tone seems to be right for a nice grimdark Batman game, it includes most of his fantastic rouges gallery and it is based off of the comics.

I’m sure that it will be riding somewhat on the success of The Dark Knight but I am so very happy that it isn’t a movie adaption, if not for the fact that most movie adaptions are badly rushed and usually very flawed, but also because we haven’t had a Batman game in quite a while and I really don’t want them to get it wrong.

Judging from the above video, it proves that they very much have the setting right. The game being set in the titular Arkham Asylum means that they will be playing, at least partly, on the physchological side of Batman, which hasn’t yet happened in games. In the end, the quality of this game relies heavily on the gameplay, whether it is an action game, a bit survival horror or any of many possibilities, I am sure that, if nothing else, it will be a good Batman game, something that we are in dire shortage of.
