Paul Crocker is the lead narrative designer at Rocksteady Studios where he's been hard at work on Batman: Arkham Asylum for the past two years. Thankfully, he hasn't taken on any of the Dark Knight's unfriendly tendencies in that time and gladly opened up to Joystiq about the game, explaining key omissions like Robin and Batmobile driving, and offering up his (not-so-creative) pick for the DC character he'd most like to create a game around.

Discover the best Batman Arkham games ranked from Asylum to Knight, including Origins, VR and more, with a focus on combat, story, and world design.

Batman: Arkham Asylum's powerful intro paves the way to an excellent gameplay experience, even almost 15 years later.
