[Review] Batman : Arkham Asylum

The game begins with Batman (Kevin Conroy from the 1992 Batman Animated Series) returning The Joker (Mark Hamill) to Arkham Asylum after an attempt is made on the Mayor of Gotham City's life. Once inside Arkham, Batman, along with Comissioner Gordon, deduce that Joker planned to be caught and returned to Arkham because of how simple it was to catch Joker in the first place. Not to soon after this, Joker does escape custody and (with help from Harley Quinn) sets all of the asylum inmates free. Batman now must save any innocent doctors and cops as well as beat all of the Joker's henchman to a pulp. Some of Batman's greatest enemies make appearances in the game as bosses (Joker, Poison Ivy, Harley, Scarecrow, etc..) and other great villains are not in the game at all, presumably running rampant in Gotham, but files and trivia on these villains can still be found around the game. Story: 10/10

The graphics are truly incredible, Batman looking especially excellent, you can see each cut on his suit and even his 5 o'clock shadow, Arkham is enormous and is almost fully accessible, and Harley Quinn has never looked better! Visuals: 10/10

The audio is also brilliant, the game has fantastic music and sound effects that are great and totally unique. Each of Batman's cool gadgets give off sounds that almost make them sound as if they are real. Audio: 10/10

The best part of this game is how you actually feel like Batman, solving the mysteries of Arkham Asylum as if you were the real Dark Knight. Batman has such a vast array of gadgets from batarangs to his trademark grappling launcher. The combat in the game is very responsive, the stealth elements fit Batman's character well, and the "Detective Mode" becomes more essential to the game the further you go. The only negative point I can think of is that the game is a bit short, but it is totally satisfying. This is the best comic book game of all time, finally breaking the DC Comics video game curse (though Lego Batman was a pretty good DC Comics game, too). Gameplay: 9/10 

Batman: Arkham Asylum is my favourite game of 2009. Get this game, it is Cool! My overall score: 9/10 

[Review] Batman: Year One

Batman : Year One is a 2011 animated superhero film base on the four-issue story arc Batman : Year One printed in 1987. This film premiered at Comic-Con on July 22 and officially released in October 18, 2011. This film was directed by Sam Liu and Lauren Montgomery and distributed by Warner Home Video. 
                                            The story in the animated movie "Batman: Year One" focuses on the exploits of Bruce Wayne in the first trip down the criminal underworld of Gotham City, before the citizens of Gotham knew that he is Batman. The origins of the existence of characters like Lieutenant James Gordon, Selina Kyle, and Alfred Pennyworth explained from the eyes of a Frank Miller that is eccentric. 
                  In the 64 minute length animated film, it is not detailed. We are not told how Bruce Wayne get his costume, gadgets, the bat-cave, and all sorts of logic details. He suddenly has become a Batman. But perhaps it does not need to be assessed for are explained in detail, because this film is focused on the early Batman stories, and more lean towards the viewpoint of Lieutenant James Gordon. 
             And when you see the title back (which is very cool in my opinion), this movie does not Intend to be the origin story, but the first year. Comic underlying this animated movie was planned to be a live-action adaptation, with director Darren Aronofsky, but canceled and make the Christopher Nolan version, the which is a more complex story and deep. But as an animated movie, Batman : Year One story is still highly recommended to all fans and people that are interested in the character of Batman.
