Videogamer writes: "Super heroes appeal because they are usually men and women who are capable of extraordinary things. There's an element of wishing you had those abilities, whether it be Spider-man's tingling spider-sense, Superman's flight or Wolverine's regeneration, but some super heroes aren't really so super. Batman is just your average, rich, man who's made himself into something better, using his intellect, detective skills and the latest gadgets to give him an edge over his foes. So if he's just an ordinary man why has it been so hard to make a successful video game about the Caped Crusader? We've had the odd flash in the pan down the years, but only now with Eidos and Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum do we have a game that really does Bats justice."
