Batman: Arkham Asylum baddies profiled, illustrated
81
Not a Batman fanatic? We suppose that's entirely possible, you tasteless, soulless fool. Fortunately for you, Eidos and Warner Bros. just sent us a comprehensive biography and art for each of the classic Batman villains featured in its upcoming stealth/action title, Batman: Arkham Asylum. They're all listed in the gallery below -- keep in mind, we've got a month and a half before the game comes out, so there's plenty of time for other nefarious additions. We probably won't see any Meeester Freeeeze, however -- no modern console could possibly handle all those puns.

is it just me, or is everyone ripped (minus the joker, harley quinn, and poison ivy)? i mean bane is supposed to be ripped, so i don't have any issues with him. killer croc looks a bit too ripped, but it's still believable. batman looks really ripped. and commissioner gordon looks unbelievably ripped.

Don't give bats a hard time. It's not his fault his nipples protrude so far out that he needs some extra room in his bat chest plate where they stick out.

That reminds me of some of the cover artwork from Heavy Metal (the comic magazine) back in the day. Might still be the same, haven't seen one in forever.

Gives 'green thumb' a whole new set of implications.

I did like Harley Quinn in the Batman Animated Series allot, but this model just is off to me.

Giant ripped dudes and slim half-naked whores. Never seen that in a game before.

This game actually looks pretty decent.

The concept art looks awesome, stylish! The game models and textures do these concepts no justice...
I'd be a lot more intrigued if all the models didn't look bump- and specular-mapped to hell and the colors weren't all muted "just because" it's Batman. It's like I can tell they tried to put some style into the in-game stuff, but somewhere along the way got too concerned with making it look "frakking über awesome pseudo-realistic!!!!!" and wound up pulling the floor out from underneath.

The only reason i'll be playing this game is to hear the end joke Batman tells the joker!!!
As far as i had heard, this game is based on that comic
