What's with the goofy grin? Did you dip into the jar of Smilex, or are you just giddy that playing as the Joker in Batman: Arkham Asylum won't cost you a dime?
Eidos has confirmed that the PS3-exclusive DLC will be free, allowing players to frolic about in the game's challenge maps as the Clown Prince of Crime when Batman: Arkham Asylum swoops onto store shelves this August.

Jesus christ. This got ridiculous. At least I know that now that el serpiente has started in on this I don't need to bother reading the replies anymore.
I guess that's what I get for expressing my opinion of something on the Internet (not to mention for checking the "E-Mail me when someone replies to this comment" box.)

Awesome I get to be the Joker! Can I shoot Barbra Gordon, take naked photos of her, then put her dad on a roller coaster filled psychological trauma?
If not I will be seriously disappointed.

Has anything been announced for the 360 version?
I assume this is going to be like the exclusive Star Wars characters that came in Soul Calibur.

i was going to hold out on this because i already have alot to play and want to see if the batarang edition would be cheaper down the line. the move to august and the joker bonus is enticing, i still want to see more though

I love how all these folk slate the DualShock and say you need "crab hands" to play it.
Yet the DualShock has won ergonomics awards and the 360 controller hasn't.
I'm all for personal opinion and if you dont like the DS1, 2 or 3 then that's fine, but it is YOU who has the crab hands, if you don't find the most ergonomically sound controller comfortable.

So, in a nutshell: It's won awards, so I'm stupid for finding it uncomfortable.

Stay in school and learn to read dumbass as that's not what I said.
Read, comprehend, understand. You should try that some time.

No, it's not what you said, but it might as well have been what you said. Saying that the PS controller is ergonomically sound is an opinion and nothing more, even if it's a popular opinion. An award doesn't justify any basis in fact.
Would you like to see a picture of my hands? I think they're quite well-formed, thank you very much.

Who said you're hand weren't well formed?
The FACT is the AVERAGE set of hands fit perfectly on a DualShock, so much so that it has won awards.
Your hands are obviously slightly bigger than average, that doesn't mean your a freak or your hands or mal-formed, it just means your hands are bigger than average.
The masses are what matter, and the majority find DualShocks perfectly acceptable and comfortable. If your hands are bigger than average and so it isn't comfortable for you, then I'm sorry, poor you but that doesn't mean people must have "crab hands" in order to find a DS comfortable as the majority do.
Unless your trying to tell me the majority of people on Earth have "crab hands"?

When Sony nabs exclusive DLC, they do it right. Wasn't the PS3 exclusive DLC for Mirrors Edge free as well?

Joker challenge maps = BioShock challenge rooms
Remember these, no? That’s right; cuz lame stuff like this doesn’t make a difference.
Unless these “maps” can provide hours and hours of content like the GTA or Fallout DLC, why champion it as the “superior” version?

The 360 has its own exclusives like DLC for GTA IV, so I think its fair.
But if people have opinions like, DLC for GTA IV and Batman both should not be exclusives, I agree with that, cause either way its fair :)
Note: This is just my personal opinion of course.

it would be great to see more playable content through other characters.... such as Robin or other villains or a Joker story mode for 9.99-15.99

Ehhhh, I'll still buy it for 360.
It's taken all this time for PS3 to finally get some good games and exclusive stuff (E3 09 was Ps3 all the way).
If Sony has another good E3 next year i'll actually shell out the cash and buy the console (sorry MGS4 was the only reason i wanted a Ps3 before E3 09 LOL!).

I would pay nearly double for the game to get a playable joker DLC on 360. OH God, I envy PS3!!

i don't know WHAT PART OF "EXCLUSIVE" these 360 owners don't get? Did GTAIV expansions come to PS3? NO!!!! They're EXCLUSIVE, which means NO XBOX will NEVER get the Joker. Maybe riddler or something, but never will get to play as the joker, unless you have a ps3 and buy the game for it. Sorry fokes it's just reality.
