Batman becomes the fear in latest Arkham Asylum trailer
82
We don't know what it is about Mark Hamill's brilliant portrayal of the Joker that does it, but we're shaken to our core each and every time we hear him. And this latest trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum starts off with a great Joker narration, but it doesn't stop there. Adding to Joker's dialogue is plenty of Batman-kicking-ass action. Watch the world's greatest detective employ his powers of stealth, as well as his powers of wealth through the use of his high-tech gadgetry. This trailer is set to air tonight on MTV, but thankfully Totilo posted it early for everyone to drool over, so check it out after the break while we run out to the store for a new keyboard.

I can't view the video either (I live in the UK), and its not just MTV that is doing this. Why do we need all of this copyright crap for videos. 1,000s of music videos were deleted off youtube the other day. I thought the world wide web's content was supposed to be free (except for the obvious stuff).
This just pisses me off...

The problem is the license holders hate change, because change 'potentially' means less money for them, so change doesn't happen. Sucks really.

Damn you MTV, stay away from my video games!
No matter how many "exclusive trailers" you put on your network, I'll still never sit through an episode "Sex with Mom and Dad", "Paris Hilton's my new BFF", "Date my Mom" and other such ilk.

The game looks great, but at the same time seems like Batman's version of Splinter Cell.

That was my exact same thought...
But considering I loved the Splinter Cell games, it only makes me a little more intrigued by this game.

It's a little depressing that I can start to hear the age in Hamill's voiceover's nowadays, but he's definitely still the de-facto badass Joker voice, all the same.
This game looks great. It better not disappoint..

Wow, Mark Hamill does an awesome Christopher Lloyd impression.
Listening to the intro made me imagine Judge Doom from 'Roger Rabbit'

I don't know man. Hamill is great, but I'm not sure I'll ever be as creeped out as I was Ledger.

Ledger was great!! Buuuuuut, Hamill was voicing the Joker (amazingly) before Heath Ledger's first credited movie role.
Mark Hamill as the Joker FTW

And remember folks,this is a BATMAN game,not a JOKER game.
Really though,why so much anticipation for this game? Almost all comic games are shitty with the exception of a few (Spiderman 2,Hulk Ultimate Destruction,Punisher). I haven't enjoyed a Batman game since Batman Returns on the SNES.

there's so much anticipation because the other ones have been so shitty. It's like baking a Soufflé only to have it fall, then do that again like 30 times, so when you're about to pull a new one out of the oven you're thinking "Yes! It's gonna be great! Woooo!"

He said "only to have it fall" not "have it fall, burst into flames and burn your eyebrows off" which would be a more appropriate metaphor.
