Arkham Asylum uses quality talent and the dialogue is sharp and pertinent, unlike the growing contingent of games with "Ooh, I'm gonna get you…" and "Hey, you won't get away with this…" script-by-numbers chatter, which can really take you out of the immersion. Much like the combat, cutscenes and gameplay flow comfortably in most cases, and the written lines are believable and pain free".
