Free Batman: Arkham Asylum DLC is multiplatform

by David Hinkle { Sep 9th 2009 at 1:51PM }

That free Batman: Arkham Asylum DLC you've been anxiously awaiting won't be exclusive to any one console. An Eidos employee popped onto the official forums to confirm that the free DLC would also be available for the PC at the same time as the Xbox 360 and PS3 console versions.

As nice as all that is, what we'd really like to know is: what is it? We're crossing our fingers for a Challenge room that lets us take on Alfred. Someone needs to put that smug jerk in his place for messing with the Batmobile.

Spoilers: It's a very good game.

That was such a good commercial, but it always bothered me that the onstar lady would be able to track where the batmoblie parked leading her to figure out his true identity.
And about the dlc, Some new skins would be cool, or more challenge modes.

i would really love some new skins especially a batman beyond one or something like the "phantom suit" which is basically the batsuit but all black and some dark gray with a covered mouth that has an eerie glow to it. That or just a mouth covered one, and one that covers the eyes too

How 'bout that Azrael suit?

*Crickets*

ytilanigiroon @ Sep 9th 2009 2:34PM

I'd LOVE to get the Azrael "Batman" skin (from the Knightfall arc), since it's basically the suit you're using in the game.

It would be nice if they would update it a bit, though.

The Dark Wayne @ Sep 9th 2009 3:17PM

that looks nothing like the suit in the game, not even the armored version.

harusame @ Sep 9th 2009 4:55PM

This is the batsuit I want to see in the game:

Woohoo.

*Spoiler Alert,Red Spy in Base.

Boss Run,please let it be a boss run or more scarecrow levels.The 3rd scarecrow level was nuts,just nuts.

(How do I play as the joker in the Ps3 version,do I need to finish the game first?)

weatherby @ Sep 9th 2009 1:58PM

Uh it's been well announced that you have to download the free Joker map from PSN. At which point you just go into the challenge mode and play as him.

Space @ Sep 9th 2009 1:58PM

go on the playstation store and download it.

Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Sep 9th 2009 2:00PM

You have to download the joker from the PS store

Nate Addison @ Sep 9th 2009 2:04PM

Make your way to the Playstation Store, locate the item, and proceed to download it. Afterwards, select Challenge rooms and play as him.

Viney @ Sep 9th 2009 2:23PM

Read the insert on the inside cover behind the manual. It gives you step by step by step instructions on downloading and playing as the Joker.

Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 2:48PM

Fucking Sony,the Ps store is delayed 1 month behind the U.S PS store,hell it marks the last Killzone 2 map pack and Battlefield 1943 as new content.

A Magician Named GOB @ Sep 9th 2009 2:02PM

I dout it will be the joker ps3 exclusive content

Ashitaka @ Sep 9th 2009 3:37PM

Don't you know how to read?

Of COURSE that that's not gonna be free multiplatform DLC.

Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:01PM

Some new Costumes would be nice. Maybe the Batman Beyond Batsuit, or the Nightwing suit?

I haven't even beaten the game yet, much less done the Challenge Rooms, so I'm not even ready for a new one yet.

whylekat @ Sep 9th 2009 5:45PM

I don't think they can use those as templates.. Niether have capes. It's look like the cape glide is a main mechanic and I assume needs the cape animation to look right.

Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:04PM

It's a well known FACT that this new DLC will be a rhythm mini game based on the "Bat-Tusi".

XBL: xGeneral DEATHx PSN: Deeth82 @ Sep 9th 2009 2:32PM

uleaweaweauwauewaa...

Okay, when you're in the visiting room Joker is razzing you about needing a sidekick. Could Robin be added as a playable character?

Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:09PM

Oh God no. Robin sucks harder than a toothless prostitute giving a BJ to a Teletubbie.

Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 2:10PM

I think he is refering to Oracle who is incapacitated,at that time I think Nightwing lives in other city and Tim is with the Titants or Young Justice...Can I haz Young Justice videogame pls? Jason is either dead or Red Hood.

Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 2:11PM

"Oh God no. Robin sucks harder than a toothless prostitute giving a BJ to a Teletubbie".

Talking about Arkham inmates huh.

The Dark Wayne @ Sep 9th 2009 2:15PM

Nightwing used to live in Bludhaven but it got destroyed in Final Crisis, now in the wake of Final Crisis and RIP he has taken the mantle of Batman. Tim was replaced as Robin by Damian Wayne, and is now under the guise of Red Robin. Jason was Batman albeit much more eviler and lethal for three issues in Battle for the Cowl, now his whereabouts are unknown after falling off Gotham Bridge
