But this one looks like it'd be worth playing just for the Mark Hamill.

Kevin Conroy!

though, since they got Hamill and they got Conroy, it just made the random Commissioner Gordon voice stick out like "who the hell was that?"

my ears! they've been trained like dogs to hear certain voice actors.

I'm not crazy about the art style, but this could be pretty cool.

I'll wait to see what everyone else says about this. Batman games usually suck a load.

Have they ever made a Batman game in the style of Resident Evil? Investigating clues, putting puzzle pieces together, collecting evidence with occasional fighting?

This game isn't going to be that, but it is a step in that direction. You switch between "beating the crap out of people" mode, a kind of stealth mode where you can grab a dude and beat him up and other dudes are like "WTF WTF WTF WHO DID THAT WHAT'S GOING ON?!?", and then an Investigation mode that is said to be like the scan visor in Metroid Prime. In that mode you get to notice clues and solve puzzles, SO I'M HOPING THAT THEY PUT THAT AND THE RIDDLER TO GOOD USE HERE.

ALSO: THIS GAME SUPPOSEDLY HAS GOOD CAPE PHYSICS.

I want to be excited about this game, but most video games are bad. So I can't get excited.

Like already from the trailer it looks like there are going to be too many enemies. This is an asylum, and it isn't that big. And it also looks like they're going to make the asylum too big. It's just a mansion, guys. And if they don't make it huge, that means there are probably going to be a lot of basic lock and key puzzles. I'm already not liking this game.

Man who cares if it's bad, it's got Mark Hamill as Joker.

HE'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT DEAD GUY
YEAH I SAID IT

It's also got the same Batman voice actor, right? That's what I heard a while ago anyway. That is good, you're right. I would also want to play this just to fight Killer Croc, honestly.

Oh wait, I remember now. This is the one where Two Face does tarot and Clayface has a skin disease.

They claim the game isn't based on any particular movie, comic series, show, etc. It's a separate canon all to itself.

SO THEY'RE SLUTTING UP QUINZEL

To show DC that there's a market for Batman video games!! They may not make another one otherwise!

I immediately wondered the exact same thing

Kevin Conroy was the most exciting part for me

So it looks like the game is mostly stealth based? Which means it could be either very very good or just awful.

"Become the fear that strikes from the darkness"

sounds just enough like

"I am the terror that flaps in the night"

to make me want to play this.
