Free Batman: Arkham Asylum DLC is multiplatform
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.
Rhamsey @ Sep 9th 2009 1:56PM
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.
The Dark Wayne @ Sep 9th 2009 2:13PM
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
WiredKnight @ Sep 9th 2009 2:16PM
Better yet: co-op?
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:19PM
I hate Damian Wayne with a passion, although Dick makes a pretty good Batman.
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 2:22PM
Is there an essensial I can get?
I haven't read Batman in a while well DC in general all the Crisis events reboot the series so I'm lost.Like Spiderman one more day,WTH was that?
Aww fuck it I'll stick to Marvel Zombies.
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 9th 2009 2:25PM
Can't wait for zombie Mickey Mouse and Zombie Aladin though.
One jump ahead of the other zombies
One swing ahead from the shotgun
Just a little bite guys.
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:26PM
Manly, I'd try to find some back issues of "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?". Just skip anything with the name Grant Morrison on it.
CaramelZappa @ Sep 9th 2009 2:29PM
To me, Robin was always the worst thing about batman. Batman was always better without him.
MrWeatherby @ Sep 9th 2009 2:29PM
He was refrencing the death of Jason Todd.
Nathan-DTS [He is your father] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:53PM
I hope Bruce isn't dead. Tim you better be useful for once and find Bruce. Dick WILL NOT (caps necessary) be Batman.
BobTheElephant @ Sep 9th 2009 2:12PM
Anyone else see "Free Batman: Arkhan Asylum DLC is Multipla" and throw and yer on the end?
looks like I let myself down on that one...
(01) @ Sep 9th 2009 6:17PM
you let us ALL down with that one.
Raider197 @ Sep 9th 2009 2:20PM
Renting this weekend, can't wait
cubert @ Sep 9th 2009 2:44PM
ur doing it wrong. The game has BUY written all over it.
captainprotonx @ Sep 9th 2009 2:45PM
You don't rent this game. You buy it.
Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Sep 9th 2009 3:02PM
It's actually a fair trade if you ask me.
First you own the game.
And then..over time...
The game owns your soul.
And you realize, that you're a better person because of it.
Neuromancer @ Sep 9th 2009 2:27PM
If it's not a challenge room I'd be very surprised.
8-bit.artist @ Sep 9th 2009 3:58PM
mostly going to be the scarecrow levels and crime alley. which im fine by cuz i didnt pre order this from gamestop and want to play the scarecrow levels.
RANDOM G [King of the Scribblenauts][Sweatshop Retiree] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:27PM
Calendar Man challenge rooms please.
Alton Brown [ XBL: LordToastington, Soon-To-Be-PSN: OrIsItAltonBrown] @ Sep 9th 2009 2:29PM
Who is Holiday?
D Stapes @ Sep 9th 2009 2:31PM
@wiredknight
that's what i was thinking. yet the more i think about it the more i know it can't happen. there are too many times when you, as the batman of course, are in the ventilation. it'd be the bat butt show for your sidekick.

green11420 @ Sep 9th 2009 2:34PM
Good. Even though I am more of a PS3 person (have a 360 also), I absolutely hate exclusive DLC. Exclusive games I can understand, but doing that with add ons and stuff, that's just wrong.
