Really Batman? You couldn't just beat these thugs up like a regular superhero; you just had to slam that one guys head into the railing then toss him off the guard tower, and do a flying drop kick on that other guys from 50-feet up, didn't you? Here's a mystery, world's greatest detective -- why are you such an asshole?
Horrible pun for not-that-clever article title notwithstanding, Kotaku dug up this video of Batman: Arkham Asylum being played by some Polish dude (no racial jokes, thanks) and it is looking sweet. I really dig the little touches, like Batman's shielding of himself when he blows his explosive gel, and really, slamming that sniper's head int the railing is awesome. Awesomely dickish.

Man, this will be the game that gets me to put down Blazblue and inFamous.
I'm wondering how the whole "Matrix slo-down" angle will work when actually playing. I can see it getting annoying, like "summoning Knights of the Round 5 times against Safer Sephiroth" annoying. However, it also looks practical to help out with countering and timing maneuvers. Guess we'll just have to see when it gets here in August.

First of all, "Batman's shielding of himself when he blows his explosive gel...Awesomely dickish"- Hah!
Second, everytime I watch something that makes Batman look like a badass, I get thrown off by the bat-logo on the chest- It's like, "I am a creature of the Night! ...and I can use spray paint!" I don't know...it just seems like, when you're dressing up as a giant bat, with the cape and the cowl...maybe the supersitious and cowardly lot don't Need a Logo as well?

It's moments like that which remind me when Milhouse dressed as Radioactive Man on the Simpsons Treehouse of Terror X segment "Desperately Xeeking Xena" and Lisa pointed out "I don't think the real Radioactive Man wears a plastic smock with a picture of himself on it."

This is gonna be up there with Spiderman 2, Incredible Hulk, and The Punisher as one of the coolest comic based games out there.

JimmyZappa!!! My man-so glad to see someone else has mad love for the Punisher game. After a bad day at work,nothing beats coming home and guiding Frank Castle as he kills tons and tons of people. I can spend hours just having Frank walk around knifing people in the face....I may have some problems. And on that note,I CANNOT FREAKING WAIT FOR THIS BATMAN GAME!!!! I just played the demo in Target today for like the 5,000th time....they finally asked me to leave when I started dry humping the PS3 display....

So, does anyone have a PS3 that you'd like to get rid of. I think i have a reason to get one now.

The logo is to draw gunfire away from less armored areas on the Batman.
@longbowhunter
You haven't played the 04 Punisher game until you've played the uncensored version. There is something disgustingly satisfying about seeing somebody get thrust into a high powered ceiling fan.
