And it’s finally in our hands. Many moons ago, Eidos released a blockbuster Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer featuring the scantily clad villain, Harley Quinn. You can now view it after the break. If you’re an animated series purist, pop your knuckles and loosen your piss and vinegar typing fingers. Ms. Quinn looks a bit different.
But she won't be acting diferent. It appears as if Quinn is taking the role of The Joker crony seriously. In the teaser trailer, you’ll see her freeing prisoners and eventually attacking Batman after a series of gymnastic flips. I’ll hold my wild guess as to who will win that epic confrontation.
Now to more pressing business. Listen, Harley. I know you’re reading this right now, so I wanted to take the opportunity to invite you to dinner providing you can do two things for me: drop the weirdo makeup and stop the whole “homicidal sideshow freak” thing you have going on. You can keep the psycho nurse uniform, though. Give me a ring.
Take note ladies, sexy nurses at haloween are nice, but if you had a get up like this you'd get my attention more than you would if you had a 1/2 assed sexy nurse outfit on. It is possible to be scary and sexy at the same time.
Although I do love the original Harley, from The Animated Series, this one looks more serious, evil and twisted...
Not sure if anyone's noticed, but Arleen Sorkin is the voice of Harley.
She's been the leading voice of Quinzel since 1992!
I thought it was an awesome touch to bring her back...
God, I hope this game doesn't fail!
Please.
I love Harley Quinn - best character in the history of Batman IMO - and I'm... okay with this costume change. I mean she's worn a few different disguises at times in the animated show and comics, it's not like her usual outfit has to be superglued to her skin.
... Also this one is really freaking hawt. Beats the crap out of the same old Ann Summers nurse costumes.
Ew. I love they got all the cartoon voice actors, but that's just horrible looking like the rest of the art in this game. Looks like she got lost on the way to a Vampire: The Masquerade LARP.
And Linuxguy, as far as I can tell, crossplatform games just get a random tag for one of the platforms. If you search the site on a console basis, the news still shows up for those other platforms the game is on.
I thought this was based off the graphic novel, not the comic books, there explaining the different looks of the characters... I agree though, reminds me more of Vampire: The Masquerade than Batman, but oh well.

Oh god, why?!
I got mine pre-ordered already, do want that batarang.
I feel conflicted as to what I want to think.
What?!
Get another voice actor?
What?!
That is the original voice actor, you morons.
Jiminy Christmas, man.
I had an epic boner at this game (and Harley) now...no more. Come back little man!
