Arkham Asylum Rights Bought By WB

By Brian Kronner on 03.03.2010

I bought an X-Box 360 on E-Bay last week for $70. The first thing I did was borrow ARKHAM ASYLUM from my buddy Chris. Let me just say, ‘HOLY SHIT THAT GAME WAS SWEET’. Rocksteady Games put it out and now Warner Bros has bought Rocksteady. With an Arkham sequel already in the works, I expect DC to commission Rocksteady to do more DC themed games.

This isn’t the first video game company that Warner Brother’s has bought recently. They grabbed TT Games, creator of the popular LEGO games (including LEGO Batman), and they recently got the assets of Midway games when Midway filed for bankruptcy. (The last game Midway did was Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.)
So this seems to be good news, and I for one can’t wait for the new Arkham game.

I loved the game too! It was soo sweet. I am stoked they are having a sequel, but hopefully it isn't in Arkham again. That would be kinda lame.

Yeah that is sweet, I just saw the trailer. The catch phrase is "Arkham has moved" to the streets most likely. I can't wait. Here is the teaser for Force Unleashed 2 if anyone is interested. http://www.lucasarts.com/games/theforceunleashed2/

From what little is shown in the trailer, it looks like AA has been moved to Gotham proper. I'm betting it'll start in AA then head out into the big world. I'm hoping to see more heroes along with the villains. Screen time for Batgirl please?

Plus, the Joker was missing his dragon tattoo.
