New Batman: Arkham Asylum dev diary gives Batman a terrible evening

I’m really looking forward to this game, it might disappoint but the in-game trailers (not this one) make it look great.

As Rocksteady’s Sefton Hill and Paul Dini eagerly explain in the video above, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a game about torturing Batman. Okay, okay, maybe not directly, but by way of Joker setting up a nasty ruse for Gotham’s greatest hero at Arkham Asylum itself. Trapping Mr. Wayne inside with all of his most fearsome enemies, when he thought he was just stopping by to deposit a criminal, leaves him at the mercy of the now-in-control Joker.

From what we played of the game’s campaign back at E3, we’re not sure exactly how Eidos/Warner Bros. plan to keep the game’s T rating, as evidenced by the few gameplay snippets you see in the developer diary above. We are, however, surprisingly excited for the game’s release in late August — and glad we don’t have to bring along Mom to buy us the game.
