I should preface this by saying that I’ve never really been in to comic books. Sure I’ve owned some and read some as a kid, but who hasn’t? Even without that, I’ve always been a fan of super heroes, and Batman in particular. I watched the animated series, saw the movies, had the action figures, the whole shebang. While my interest was initially piqued by the previews, I still couldn’t really get excited for this game. The concept sounded cool. Batman goes into Arkham Asylum to (re)catch the Joker and has to fight all of the villains that he put there in first place. Instead of being a straight brawler, the game would balance fighting, stealth, and detectivery. This last bit got my attention. I never saw Batman as a detective (let alone the “world’s greatest”), but I will blame that on my previous statement of comic ignorance. The only other game I could think of that involved “playing detective” was Condemned: Criminal Origins. While that game played out mostly as a (creepy) brawler, I really enjoyed any moment that I was able to pull my camera phone out and shoot some fingerprints or scan a crime scene. So then what’s the game plan? Part Splinter Cell, part Nancy Drew, part Mortal Kombat vs DC? Yeah, ok, that sounds pretty dope. Glide kick across the break and we’ll get into it.
