Only the most criminally insane get into Arkham

A new Batman game is coming to the PC, PS3, and X360 next summer. It's called Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Going for a similar sort of feel as the recent popular Dark Knight movies, the game is going to look towards graphic novels for inspiration. Writer Paul Dini, who worked on Batmam: The Animated Series, is penning the story and Mark Hamill will be reprising his voice acting role as the Joker.

Using the Unreal engine, Arkham Asylum is going to be a third person action-adventure game. Batman will have to use his super-hero detective skills to suss out the criminally insane. Once located, the criminally insane will be beaten up, and hit with various flying Bat-tools.

Rocksteady Studios is behind this project. They are a relatively new studio, with only one other game -- Urban Chaos: Riot Response -- to their name.

    I hope that this will be a proper batman game for batman movies fans.

    Note: I don't like Lego: Batman which is too kiddy for me.

    Looks pretty dark. I like it, but the excessive flashing hurt my eyes.
