Play As The Joker In Arkham Asylum PS3

[Midnite]

Play.com is giving the code to unlock the armored batsuit with pre-orders of the standard edition only. It's a code though, so it'll be posted online and I'm sure there are going to be other ways of unlocking costumes, which I hope they have.

You mean I weight more than the Joker?

Wow...

[Glitch Girl]

Where did you get that?  The bio at that link lists him at 70kg = 154 lbs

Batman and Gordon apparently weigh the same though. 

[BentonGrey]

Hmm, seems like Bats should weigh a bit more than that...a good bit more, but oh well.  One of the simplest kinds of unlockables would be extra costumes, but here is hoping that they have a classic comic look and that one can get to it without actually having to unlock it with gameplay.  I like codes that allow me to unlock what I want so that I can tailor the game to what I want it to be.

Guess they made corrections to the weigh in.

Invisible Walls Episode 54

They talk about the demo in the beginning, starts at 2:25 ends at 11:30. Sigh... Batarang is a paperweight. 
Guess it will hurt more when you throw it.

Break Bane Trailer Love the combat system.

Pretty much what he said:

Eidos Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment can today confirm that Batman: Arkham Asylum will be released at the end of summer 2009. This additional time will allow us to ensure Batman: Arkham Asylum is of the highest quality for gamers."

[MJB]

VERY disappointed.

[NeoDarke]

Oddly unsurprised.

If nothing else, maybe it'll give them more time to polish the game. Maybe.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Exclusive 'FreeFlow Combat' Walkthrough

Poison Ivy

[MJB]

Out of all the redesigns Poison Ivy's is by far the worst one IMO.

[Tomato]

I dislike Harley's more personally, but this one was just... odd. It looks more like Ivy just rolled out of bed or something...

Joker:I'm taking over the prison! Stop Batman!
Ivy: It's 2AM. Go Away.
Joker:STOP BATMAN. JOKER COMMANDS IT!
Ivy: Fine, jerk.

[bredon7777]

I don't have a problem with the look, but the voice actress is doing the "channeling Mae West" thing that was the third most annoying thing about Batman and Robin.

Who is Mae West???

Out of all the redesigns Poison Ivy's is by far the worst one IMO.

I'm not sure a t-shirt and nudity counts as a redesign let alone a costume it is like Tomato said he caught her sleeping or something. She looks like one of the artists got really lonely and just said "Screw it... have a t-shirt and... well placed shadows! I'm naughty!" She is like 1 button away from a wardrobe malfunction.

What on earth is Harley supposed to be? She just looks bad... seriously the guy villains we've seen look great. Just really well done but the women... they so far all look like the design team is trying to live out their fantasies.

[BentonGrey]

I gotta' say, I hate a lot of the modern designs of Ivy.  They often seem to be ALMOST naked, and with the addition of the shirt to this one...it is somehow even more sketchy.  Harley doesn't seem so off to me.  Dressing up like a nurse is something that she would do, but I'd prefer to see her in her costume.

[Midnite]

Poison Ivy's concept art looked much better.

Ivy's redesign is ok...would have been better with some covering leaves rather than the prison top. Harley's makes no sense at all. It ignores her "jester" motif completely and goes for "zombie prostitute" instead.

[JeyNyce]

I would have like Ivy look better if the top were orange like the pic instead of red.  It would have made more sense.  With Harley, she is suppose to be cute and funny, not sexy.  Catwoman is sexy and have feminine wilds, not Harley.

[Uncle Yuan]

I thought it very odd that she was running around wearing a red cardigan . . . a prison top makes more sense.
