Arkham Asylum Sequel Video Game Trailer Released

The Joker is back in Batman: Arkham Asylum 2!

You knew it had to happen.

Debuting this past August, Batman: Arkham Asylum received massive praise from video game critics (which is surprising since neither the words “Halo” or “Zelda” appear in the title) and sold two million copies in its first three weeks of release, according to Corridor.com.

During Spike TV’s recent 2009 Video Game Awards, Warner Bros. debuted a teaser trailer for the untitled sequel to the game, and the overall picture is what gamers were hoping on the second go-round: bringing the fight to Gotham City.  It appears that someone has moved the Asylum to the middle of the city.  But don’t worry; they have walls and floodlights.

“While the teaser shows criminals causing chaos throughout the streets before showing us a recuperating Clown Prince of the criminally insane, eagle-eyed viewers saw big hints about the sequel’s potential villains,” said the site.  “For those who assumed that developer Rocksteady would have to be mad to not include The Penguin and ‘Two-Face in the sequel, worry not.  During the teaser, you’ll see a shot of the Iceberg Lounge (The Penguin), quick flashes of defaced recruitment posters where the ‘I’ has been changed to ‘We’ (Two-Face), and the word ‘SIONIS,’ which is a reference to one of Bats’ lesser-known rogues, Black Mask.”
