I'm no comic book fan, but I'm looking forward to Batman: Arkham Asylum. I like it when a comic book game comes out that doesn't feel the need to attach itself to a movie release, and this particular game looks like it was made with a lot of love.
These new screens indicate that all goes well, with Batman looking good as he beats the Hell out of the mentally unstable. Check them out and let us know what you think.

Agreed!
I'm getting a bit sick of the fancy-pants camera angles though, I'd quite like to see a screenshot of some in-game footage to get an idea of how it'll play.
love the details on the Bat-suit.
But we have been burnt by 95% of the superhero games ever made.. Please, please guys make this the game we all want it to be!
These screens look gorgeous. They really got the feel of a poorly maintained mental institution. You really don't see enough insane asylums in video games. Let's hope the gameplay is as good as that that game looks.
If we're being thrown into this world, we need to really feel like this is as dark as the screens are showing. Just look at A Serious House on Serious Earth.
A Manhunt style Batman game equals probably the greatest game ever made.
The game looks amazing, graphics are great, the enemies look cool-- it does remind me a lot of manhunt and now that you mentioned it, it kinda has that bioshock-ish feel.
I hope this is a top notch game.
