Looks good, not much you can get from that teaser.

Although I don't know how it's going to work, the whole game is going to be in the Asylum?

[Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake]

You should have bumped the old topic, had quite a few responses and the same info more or less.

Lame teaser.

Lol someone's got their panties all in a bunch.

I agree with Don though. The teaser is pretty damn lame. However, the graphics do look pretty good. Let's hope it delivers.

Joker looks like Jack Nicholson's rendition.
nice

[TheJonesy]

It's kind of ironic that people are pissed over a teaser that didn't show much, teased if you will. But a little more would be better, though. Still, alteast we'll hopefully get an actually good Batman game. I think it was a good idea to scrap the movie rendition, too

Vilians Teaser

I've also heard (not too sure yet) that Mark Hamil Aka Luke Skywalker will be voicing The Joker.

[Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake]

So this is Escape from Butcher Bay meets Batman pretty much.

This game could actually turn out to be quite the surprise hit. It's looking pretty good so far.

[Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake]

I love that Kevin Conroy will be voicing Batman in this. Definitely adds a feeling that this is *legit.

And Mark Hamill voicing The Joker is the icing on the cake. That maniacal laugh of his just f*ckin rules.

In case our enthusiasm isn't already apparent, we were left really impressed with Batman: Arkham Asylum. The savvy script and excellent voice acting are sure to please Batman fans, while the combo fighting system and stealth elements look like they'll be great fun. The game is already looking incredibly impressive visually--hopefully an indication that it's nearing completion in time for its Q2 2009 release window. Eidos has promised us a hands-on with the game in the coming months, so hopefully we'll be visiting Arkham again for a more in-depth look shortly.
