Video: Batman's arsenal exposed
by Richard Mitchell 
{ Aug 14th 2009 at 11:57PM } 
One might be tempted to ask where Batman acquires all his fantastic gadgetry. Yes, one might. For the sake of your enjoyment of Batman: Arkham Asylum, we suggest you try not to worry about it. Sure, Bruce Wayne is probably blowing millions on R&D alone (not to mention production!). That's money that could be spent funding local police forces around the country – effectively stopping crime from coast to coast – rather than spent trying to stop a handful of crazies in a single city.
Seriously, don't think about it too much. You'll just get depressed.

This is the first game where I actually went "I'M BATMAN", and that was just the freakin' demo! :O
Can't wait for the full game!
MystileArmor @ Aug 15th 2009 12:33AM
.. I don't know dude, I run around yelling "I'm Batman!" all the time... you don't?
Dr.House @ Aug 15th 2009 12:40AM
I run around yelling "IT'S NOT LUPUS...BATMAN"
I suppose that's just my personal preference.

MystileArmor @ Aug 15th 2009 12:32AM
I can't help but think how much fun it would be if you striped "nal" out of the title.

ArchiGamer 2.0 [Planeteer I Power of Irony and Sex] @ Aug 15th 2009 2:17AM
See on the one hand, I fear as the Joker but adore the fact that your a bear, then again the prefix Pedo- is sure to turn one off as well....
MystileArmor @ Aug 15th 2009 2:20AM

Just don't drop the soap, is all. Kind of like don't put water on a Mogwai.
Z(+)DIAC @ Aug 15th 2009 1:28AM

NukeAssault @ Aug 15th 2009 2:33AM

The Dark Wayne @ Aug 15th 2009 3:25AM

The Dark Wayne @ Aug 15th 2009 1:36AM
So I guess I should just give all my money to the government and police eh mitchell? You know what we call that in Gotham? COMMUNISM!
Damian @ Aug 15th 2009 9:12AM
Man you kick several kinds of ass.
maveric101 @ Aug 16th 2009 12:06AM
truth. plus, spread around the country it wouldn't make that much of a difference. i'd rather have batman. hey, here's an idea: maybe you could do a tour around the country!
Captain MRLN @ Aug 15th 2009 1:48AM
In my day, we used good old-fashioned rocks.
MystileArmor @ Aug 15th 2009 2:04AM
What? What the fuck is up with all the garbled English?
..
Also, go fuck your fucking warehouse, douchebag.

Insert ban-hammer above 'stiq staff. F'n spammers.

ArchiGamer 2.0 [Planeteer I Power of Irony and Sex] @ Aug 15th 2009 2:58AM
Why do the crazy come out at night?
JNub @ Aug 15th 2009 4:48AM

whylekat @ Aug 15th 2009 7:26PM
Don't be stupid. People comment like their friggen Peter Moore. Or a little German boy. I'm from the Godamn ThunderCats!
It's like a way easier everyday comic con.

i find it strange when people dont use the reply button
KBank2001 @ Aug 18th 2009 12:21PM
Game informer just gave AA a 9.5. They said the game is this year's Bioshock. I think I will avtually get this game; looks really fun. (Did I just say a Batman game looks fun?)
Nathan-DTS [Anti-Planeteer - Power of Anti-ness] @ Aug 15th 2009 8:54AM
A can't wait to fight The Riddler. I hope I will have to go around the whole of Arkham island solving clues. Who found The Riddler trophy in the demo?
OnToGloryReturns @ Aug 15th 2009 3:14PM
There's at least 2....
The Dark Wayne @ Aug 15th 2009 3:24PM
judging from the achievement list i dont think we get to fight the riddler. The riddler achievements are "Find 10% of all riddler clues" all the way until 100 percent and presumably the achievement "Solve Arkham's Biggest Mystery" is related to that. Maybe that one has us fight the riddler but i doubt it, he never was much of a fighting character, certainly not like Killer Croc
whylekat @ Aug 15th 2009 7:28PM
Yeah. They're probably just Collectibles. I'm sure they unlock concept art or those challenge lvls or something.
Mu93n @ Aug 15th 2009 8:55AM
ok....as if i wasnt already pumped enough for this damn game...CURSE YOU EIDOS AND ROCKSTEADY!!!!
