Batman: Arkham Asylum - Exclusive new villain reveal

VIDEO: A svelte and slinky new foe for Bats to tackle

Words: David Houghton, GamesRadar UK

Batman: Arkham Asylum is starting to become a really exciting prospect. From our experience so far it plays like a dream, and the visual production design is already delivering one of the dankest, most densly atmospheric slices of Batman we've ever seen in any medium.

We're particularly in love with the new villain designs. The Joker is a wild-eyed emaciated demon. Bane is a small house made of solid muscle.  Harley Quinn is a fetish fan's dream/nightmare (delete as appropriate to your level of clown phobia) and now we can exclusively reveal a new addition to the asylum line-up, who brings a previously unimagined level of scantily-clad, butt-anical villainy to the game. If that last shameful pun hasn't already given it away, all will be revealed when you click the video below. And we strongly recommend you do.

conman, I think you nailed it. All I could think about during this trailer was how similar this all was to RE4. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the radio conversations between the Joker and Batman will have a similar feel. (I sent my right hand after you, Mr. Kennnedddyyy!)

Butt-anical, lol, classic. Anyway this game looks awsome, can't come soon enough. The character designs are cool though, can't wait to see the rest. Two-Face, Penguin, Riddler. This will be EPIC!!!

O.M.G. The soundtrack is amazing in this game. It sounds like a movie.

I don't know, having to kill giant beasts defeats the whole "predator/stealth gameplay" idea of this game. Bad idea, Eidos, bad idea.

IDK mastersword-maybe a change in pace is why they've delayed. The only slight criticism I've read about this game is that people were a little worried that the gameplay may get a little samey.

A bigger boss or two could be the change it needed to go from great to classic. I have very high hopes that this could be a incredibly good game indeed.

I'd fertilize that plant.
Corsair89  - 6 months 4 days ago 
@TheRussianConcussion: What? You would shit on it?
TheRussianConcussion  - 6 months 4 days ago 
No I would go to a store and purchase fertilizer than I would pour it over the plants to promote plant growth. Why would I defecate on a plant? that's just gross.

i am hoping for DLC to make it longer, because there are many things they could do with batman. other than that, it looks good
