Rocksteady Studios wants Batman: Arkham Asylum to be an important game - that much is obvious. It's clear from the way that the marketing manager is using big words like "BioShock" and "Chronicles of Riddick," - but there are other indicators too. There's the participation of Mark "Skywalker" Hamill, and the fact that the script has been handled by Paul Dini - a writer with vast experience of working with the Caped Crusader. Of course, this is exactly the way things should be. This is Batman, after all, and Gotham's finest deserves nothing less than the highest level of respect.
