Batman: Arkham Asylum

[DNEUM]

I've never been a big fan of superhero games, but I might have to pick this one up. Looks pretty bitchin.

Not feeling the Joker's voice and that laugh at the end was just terrible.

 

[j.hen]

Okay I watched it again, the voice honestly sounds like a shitty impression of the Animated Series Joker voice. Its terrible.

 

[j.hen]

Holy shit its Mark Hamil. He really lost his touch.

 

[Miggy]

That is the worst Joker laugh ever!!

I like the Joker from the animated series better than the one from the movies.

Are you crazy, Heath Ledger and the write did a good job with The Joker I must admit.

But he's nowhere close to what the original Joker was like.

 

[j.hen]

Ledger redefined the role.

Ledger redefined the role.

Yes, but his character was based loosely off of the real original Joker.

First gameplay video (from what I've seen):

I have to say, I think this game looks like it could be pretty badass. I don't think I've ever played a superhero game, but this one looks good and the previews I've read to this point have all been good.

Anyone else looking forward to this?

 

[j.hen]

Holy fuck! I was not expecting this game to be this cool, it reminded me of hitman.

It looks pretty good but I'm sure I'll rent it, definitely doesn't look buy worthy.

 

[Nevermind]

yea the game looks good. It does remind me of hitman with the planning of kills. Also the graphics look pretty nice. I may but it depending on when it comes out.

Are you fucking kidding me? I guess your knowledge of the Joker came soley from Batman '89 and the animated show. Read The Killing Joke or Arkham Asylum, Ledger's Joker is just like the Joker in these very well praised graphic novels.

I'm buying this game btw.

1. Batman '89 is FTMFL I wouldn't waste any time on it.

2. I've read The Kiliing Joke before

3. The version of the Joker that I like is an opinion, you don't have to like it.

 

[Houston]

Your opinion sucks. That's all.

That's your opinion and I could say the same thing.

lol you're a fucking moron then. Both Ledger's Joker and Nicholson's Joker were great (although very different) representations of the character. It doesn't matter what Joker you like (if you even have, which right now is hard to believe) you still have to respect the job that both Ledger and Nicholson did.

My guess is Houston Boy's favorite interpretation of the Batman universe is The Batman cartoon show.

Now that is FTMFL.

I didn' t say I didn't respect the jobs Leder and Nicholson did, I just said that those weren't my favorite jokers, its a simple matter of opinion if you don't like it I don't care.
