Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum - Meet Bane
Written Thursday, April 16, 2009 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

By now you're probably rocking back and forth in the corner of your room, with a cold sweat, eagerly anticipating the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum game from Rocksteady and Eidos.
 
In previous trailers, we've seen how being stealthy is a key aspect, how the environment will play a major role in the game's atmosphere and  we've even had the chance to look at an impressive walkthrough from GDC 09. Well today, the focus shifts to one of the game's enemies ... Bane. Judging by the short trailer, it looks like Bane could be the ... bane of your existence ... or ever, a bane in the ass ... Seriously, I'll just stop it now. Enjoy the trailer.

Crphex,bane has no connection to poison ivy in the comics so if she is in the game it will be more a coincidence than a link to bane

I wonder how the boss fights will be.
As we have seen in the other videos this game is mostly stealth,so how will you fight the bosses like Bane?

Wowzers. The cape physics are... amazing? Ha! A nitpick to be sure, but I doubt this will make the running for GOTY.

When first announced I doubted this game, but with further media that has been released I retract that statement. This game looks sweet. I just wonder if the game mechanics will run as smooth as the graphics.

So, so iffy about this game. Rental sounds perfect for it. If it's anything like old-school Batman games for early consoles, it'll be cool because it's Batman, but have awful mechanics.

The more I see for this game the more I hope it isn't gonna be one of those games with flashy trailers when the game is absolute crap.

This looks awesome! I'm still a fan of the Animated Series Bane though. That series was off the heezy.

Mechanics look sound, graphics awesome, atmosphere spot on... Sold!

Love the use of Bat Starch on the cape too.
