Ever since the first time I played Goldeneye, I have imagined other properties being given a similar treatment. Being a comic geek for a big portion of my life, one of my fantasies was for the Arkham Asylum graphic novel to be turned into a game. Its the stuff dreams are made of.
Just recently a game was announced with Arkham Asylum in the title. But its of no relation to the Grant Morrison/Dave McKean classic story.
Pictures have been leaked on the net, with Kotaku being one place to see them. People are saying that it looks like Chronicles of Riddick but with Batman, and I tend to agree. The images of the Joker are great. Batman, I don't know. I'd love to see the little curls on the shoulders like how Dave did them. Batman's suit looks a bit like the tech suit in Mortal Combat. In fact, the first shot I saw I thought someone photoshopped Batman from MK:DC into an old promo of Riddick.
Right now I don't know if I should be excited for the game or not. I'm pretty pleased with the look of the game, but until gameplay impressions come out I'm holding onto the hype.
