The news is all over the Internet, on any gaming site you can find: Fans of "Batman: The Animated Series" and "The New Batman Adventures," et. al., now have something new to look forward to. "Batman: Arkham Asylum," an action detective game, is being developed by Rocksteady Games and will be published by Eidos Interactive, in collaboration with Warner Bros Interactive.
Better yet, the game is being written by Paul Dini, writer for the aforementioned animated series, as well as for the comics world.
The game, for the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Playstation 3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows is due out next year. In the game, the player assumes the role of Batman as he delivers Joker to Arkham Asylum. There, some imprisoned villains have set a trap, and an immersive combat gaming experience unfolds, the Business Wire press release says.

I think it's great that they're having someone who worked on the animated series and the comics work on it too. The game definitely has a lot of potential... let's just hope it lives up to the hype.
For those that don't own a PS3 or 360 yet, you might want to take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on. Right now there are less than 150 entrants so chances of winning are pretty decent. All you have to do is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt and if you win you get a gaming system (your choice), a year's supply of 6 Hour Power energy shots, ten t-shirts with your design on it, and a copy of Rise of the Argonauts. Check out the details here: http://www.brickfish.com/Entertainment/Stacker2?tab=overview
I work with them so let me know if you have any questions. If you enter, send me an e-mail too and I'll vote for your design.
