Being dead (or trapped in a cave in the past) doesn't seem to have slowed Batman down one tiny bit. He's in this here video SPOnG has below these here words.

It's all about Arkham Asylum, the setting of Eidos's upcoming Bat-game. Said setting is the result of developer Rocksteady wanting to dump the Dark Knight in a "dark", "gritty" environment, according to Paul Crocker, lead narrative designer on the project. Dark and gritty. In a Batman game. No kidding.

Maybe, just maybe, it's time to return to the trippy psychedelia of the '50s comics for the next game. SPOnG wants Batman fighting dinosaurs on an alien world populated by beautiful princesses and bearded ladies, please.

In the meantime, you'll also find Paul Dini, writer of both the game and a host Batman comics, having a chat in the nosey around the asylum below. Enjoy!
