BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES: THE GAME

Pretty straightforward title, I know.

Info is pretty scarce as this game is still a whole year off, but here's the skinny: Joker (rumors abound that he's voiced in-game by Mark Hammil) has purposefully allowed himself to be captured to get access to Arkham, and once inside he escaped, trying to access a dark secret from Arkham's past. Paul Dini wrote the game, which draws exclusively from the entire 70 year run of the hero's comics. Dini also said that, since this is supposed to be the penultimate Batman game, the voice cast should be of similar quality, which to me means the cast of Batman: The Animated Series.

Among the villains confirmed to appear in the game are Zsazs or whatever, The Joker, and Killer Croc, but Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face and many other comic a-listers are expected to appear, along with other lesser-known villains.

Despite a T rating, the game's theme is expectedly and thankfully dark, the inside of the Asylum itself a hellish, gritty nightmare. And really, when it houses "patients" like Two-Face and the Joker, what else would you expect?

    Sure you could buy our game. But there's going to be the Ultimate batman game at some point so you may just wait for it.

    did you even read the definitions before you posted that, because yes I did know what it means. Khavall's implies that he does not

    Perhaps he should have said, "This game is going to be really great. It'll be a stimulating experience reminiscent of covering your entire body in honey and peanut butter then letting 27 badgers lick it all off."

    protip: in firefox, bring up the Page Info box and click Media up top. scroll through the list. Since, firefox still loads the pictures, the website has to provide the browser with a link to it, and that link shows up in the Media tab.

    Batman.


    Also, said dark secret is apparently some kind of syrum that was supposed to help the inmates of Arkham or something whatever I dunno the article was vague to avoid spoilers.

    Because most of the time when someone describes something as the ultimate *blank* experience they don't mean best they mean last. It doesn't have any implication other than the straight dictionary definition right?

    Does the ultimate thrill ride kill you when you get off of it or something?
