Frankly, I didn’t even know a game like this was being developed, but here’s the teaser trailer none-the-less, a little disappointing to me…

In Batman: Arkham Asylum the player assumes the role of Batman as he delivers The Joker to Arkham Asylum. There, the imprisoned super-villains have set a trap and an immersive combat gaming experience unfolds. With an original script penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini, the game brings the universe of DC Comics’ detective to life!

Some really good news I found about this is that Mark Hamill will be voicing the Joker and Kevin Conroy will be returning once again to the voice we all know and love of Batman.

Seems like a cool concept, but we will all have to wait until December 2009 to find out if this is the next great Batman game, or just another game that sounded cool on paper but failed to deliver. Until then, enjoy these pics courtesy of IGN:
