- xalax, on 07/16/2009, -0/+18http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1282022/ --- if you don't want to read the story.
- AndrewDB, on 07/16/2009, -2/+17IMDB isn't reliable at all.
- DanDotOrg, on 07/16/2009, -0/+13He also played the Cocknocker..
- chockster, on 07/16/2009, -3/+11IMDB isn't even slightly reliable. The person who wrote this article could have changed the entire IMDB entry just to justify writing this.
- darthsand, on 07/15/2009, -0/+8I hope FireFly will be a villain in this.
- hedgiemaster, on 07/16/2009, -1/+9Are you serious?
- Pugmonkeys, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6This isn't an adaption of the graphic novel. This is a game that borrows elements from every medium Batman has ever showed up in, that just happens to occur within the Asylum. Though I would agree that the most recent iteration of the Penguin wouldn't get himself put into the Asylum, The Penguin of the past was a bit more psychotic.
/nerd - shifty2, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5Ron Pearlman as Bane? WIN!
He should be cast as Bane in a later movie. - snagglefoof, on 07/16/2009, -3/+8My bad - I didn't watch the series when I was a kid and didn't realize he's done so much voice acting. I could only think of Luke Skywalker playing The Joker. It's cool that they're bringing him back.
- Elranzer, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4Comic books tend to be monthly or bi-monthly serial publications. Graphics novels are the stand-alone, single stories that are released in paperback (and sometimes hardcover) yet are told in the comic panel format.
/librarian - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4Will Friedle...wasn't he the older brother from Boy Meets World?
- Elranzer, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4I don't know how faithful the game will be to the graphic novel, but the novel has quite a few villains in it. Basically, every villain who is considered insane is thrown into Arkham, which excludes the Penguin (crime lord, not insane) and Ra's Al Ghul (impossible to "capture").
The novel has the following villains:
The Joker
ClayFace
Maxie Zeus
Scarecrow
Mad Hatter
Doctor Destiny
Two-Face (Mr. Apollo and Mr. Dionysus)
Killer Croc
Since we've already seen Poison Ivy, it's safe to assume the game is going to take some liberties and the novel's cast is probably not exactly a reliable list of villains to expect. - yacks, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3*ding ding ding ding* We have a winner..
yes he was - RealmDown, on 07/16/2009, -4/+7Can't be. Fox canceled it. Bastards.
- Elranzer, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4Why so serious??
- Contren, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3When they are a stand alone story arc no more than a couple books and significantly longer than a normal comic book, than they become graphic novels.
Ex: Watchmen, The Killing Joke, etc.... - Shadic, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Yup. He's been in Batman-stuff before, as well.
- Philbert, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Having a IMDB page of my own I know you have to already have movie or TV credit to set one up, so it's not like anyone can be added. Plus their behind the scenes system is kind of a pain in the ass to use. I don't think I would want to go through all that just to add some fake names.
- alamedaman, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENAYYYYYYYYYYY
- JoshyLeeArm, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1He was Batman in Batman Beyond.
- kinseyincanada, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1the Blue Beetle is a villain?
- mabba18, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1'Round about 1986
- coopa, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1As Pugmonkeys said it's not an exact adaptation of Arkham Asylum - so far it appears that the plot of the Joker trapping Batman in Arkham is the same but apart from that there doesn't seem to be much else.
The graphic novel is extremely dark and twisted, and as much about the history of Arkham and it's legacy on the inmates (and staff) as well as the trap the Joker lays. I recently lent it to a friend of mine who returned it a few days later saying "excellent comic but never lend me anything that dark again". - fuzzybeard, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Also voiced Ron Stoppable on Kim Possible.
- amanilaenvelope, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Aren't Tweedledee and Tweedledum in there too? Where they're shown been strapped to a chair with a head thing connected to their left and right sides (respectively) of the brain?
- MrFisty, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1I hope Joel Schumacher is one of the villains.
- diggadigga, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1seems that this game is great visually. But from the videos it looks like the gameplay will suck. Button mashing.
- olebra1393, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Speaking of Arkham Asylum, why can't there be a good Call of Cthulhu movie :(
- sleuce, on 08/08/2009, -0/+0PC demo download was 4GB for me, since the first download had corrupt installation files. I'm basically downloading an entire single layer DVD worth of files so I can play this for 5 minutes, someone euthanize me.
- CaviMike, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Damn I can't wait for this to come out. ***** the haters.
- vism, on 07/17/2009, -1/+1You could have determined that from IMDB
- chockster, on 07/17/2009, -0/+0You underestimate idiots.
- danwallace, on 07/17/2009, -1/+1Yeah yeah, I know the actual reasoning behind it, but come on... they're just long comic books.
- danwallace, on 07/16/2009, -3/+2At what point did we stop calling these "comic books" and start pretending they're actual novels?
- snagglefoof, on 07/16/2009, -8/+5Mark Hamill as the Joker?
- kurupttek, on 07/15/2009, -21/+2Batman news is sooooo 2008??
