Eidos offers yet another little Christmas gift to its fans by unveiling some more details concerning the videogame Batman: Arkham Asylum in development for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. This one will launch in the summer of 2009 and is not attached to a movie unlike many productions of the same kind. Batman, who challenges vilains of Gotham City, will have the main role in Arkham Asylum where the Joker is being devivered to this institution.

However, the bad guys have schemed an evil plan that will prove must difficult to overcome by the masked character. The story is penned by Paul Dini, master of this series and winner of five Emmy Awards. Mark Hamill, known worldwide for his role of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies, will lend his voice for the clown while Kevin Conroy, with a 15 years experience of bringing to life the Batman and Bruce Wayne voices, will once again perform for the hero with a black cape. This game is supposed to be very dark and moody and will aim for a very solid fighting system. The developers think it will place the bar high for aspiring games in the genre.
