How many games are using Batman as the main character and how that success? That's the first question that arises when we read the news about the plan of Batman Arkham Asylum game a year ago. At that Eidos still has not been purchased by Square Enix and staying digadang as the game publisher. Answering this question, it seems the caped crusader who rarely have a successful game based on human imagery. Most of the Batman games are successful in the market wearing foundation stories and characters from Batman The Animated Series. Perhaps this is because the character of Batman quite difficult visualized with realistic form in the video game. Batman Arkham Asylum will change that view with menghadrikan gameplay and story are very slick at the same time for the Batman epic human form, not the animation.

Some items are shown even look familiar. Batmobile Batmobile used similar to that used in the film directed by Tim Burton, Batman with the costumes are still grayed out and use black or blue suit and the Joker is wearing purple all over his body and also with a very thin body texture. While the Killer Croc with about 15 feet high it really was redesigned from scratch.

Arkham itself is interesting enough to be used as a setting in the world of Batman. Bersettingkan on an island, a mental hospital and was previously a property from Mr. Arkham, but in the end turned into a giant facility and serves as a prison in this game. After successfully capturing the Joker and Batman took him to Arkham, Joker immediately arrested and given security a la Hannibal Lecter.
