(
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43466.html) New teaser trailer from British developer Rocksteady latest title, published by Edios. Powered by UE3.0, headed to PC, PS3, 360.
Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy reprise their roles as the Joker and Batman respectively.
No, it has nothing to do with the famous graphic novel of the same name.
EDIT: Here's the older (

It seems to have been inspired by it, at least. Batman stuck in the Asylum with many of his former foes? Seems like pretty much the same premise (unless I read articles that were less than reliable). Of course it's all in the execution, so I don't expect a Dave McKeanish Batman game, however cool that'd be.

I am so looking forward to this, these trailers are dripping with raw atmosphere, sooo dark and moody. This is going to be awesome, a nuthouse in Gotham City how could it possibly suck? Easily my most anticipated title.

The controls can make or break any game. I'm hoping they'll take some inspiration from Riddick.

Latest Press release which a nice new tidbit.
Quote:
Batman fans around the world will be excited to learn that Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame and leading television and stage actor Kevin Conroy will lend their voices to the Batman: Arkham Asylum videogame, co-published by Eidos, Inc. and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Known as the voice of BATMAN and BRUCE WAYNE for over fifteen years in various animated films and television series, Kevin Conroy will repeat his role as the CAPED CRUSADER, while Mark Hamill, who is also a veteran of many animated Batman properties, will again star as The Joker in the upcoming action-adventure title.
Featuring an original story penned exclusively for the game by famous Batman author, Batman: The Animated Series writer and five-time Emmy award winner, Paul Dini, Batman: Arkham Asylum, developed by Rocksteady Studios, will launch worldwide on Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION®3 and Windows PC in the Summer of 2009. With intensely realistic graphics and a gothic, moody and extraordinarily detailed setting, Batman: Arkham Asylum offers diverse gameplay options to push the envelope for all action, adventure and superhero games in the future. Batman: Arkham Asylum exposes players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure taking them to the depths of the ARKHAM ASYLUM.
Paul Dini wrote the game? FUCK YES. Neither Nolan film is as good as the Dini/Bruce Timm animated series and Mask of the Phantasm.
