I am excited, but honestly, I remember the last independent game they did (Rise of sin Tsu) and uhm.. yeah.. hopes aren’t going to get that high.

(nothing to do with games) Paul Dini’s current run on Detective Comics is absolutely superb. I’d also put money down that Zatanna will make a cameo appearance in the game.

Dini writing this game = Instant win.

Although, I’d question his knowledge of C .

(actual game related bit) The idea of a whole game based on Arkham Asylum is great, but how would you fit the Bat-tank in there? You’ve got to have the token driving section somewhere, especially with the second coolest car/tank thing ever.

Ooh, I can’t wait for the Maxie Zeus bossfight where you have to dodge his flung poo!

Big Grant Morrison fan here, but Arkham Asylum…not so much. I like McKean’s work with Neil Gaiman but he made a right mess of Arkham Asylum.

Let’s not get carried away.

Fair enough, but at the risk of seeming over apologetic, I have to say the confusion was part of the experience.

The funny thing about McKean and Arkham Asylum is that Neal Adams was the originally intended artist for it. I love McKean’s stuff, but I think it would have worked quite a bit better to be honest. The original is sort of confusing.

And yeah, all the things suggested here sounds great. Also: Brooding mini game.

All I have to say is that Arkham Asylum was one of the best superhero graphic novels I ever read.

I’d love to see a game based purely on Batman: The Animated Series. That was easily the best Batman EVAH, well, up until the new movies.

Everything else is fairly meh, I’d probably prefer a comic-based game, based on what ever the best series is. I’m not a comics person myself, but they are pretty imaginative backdrops that would make for an entertaining game.

I will cry tears of joy if this game turns out to be good

It occurs to me that there should be more Dave McKean in everything. Including videogames.
