‘Batman: Arkham Asylum’
Batman is never all that interesting in video games – likely because he plays the audience point-of-view character amid a sea of weird and wonderful villains. The draw in the “Arkham” games, starting with “Batman: Arkham Asylum,” isn’t to pick apart Batman’s psychology – instead, the fun comes from the twisted world around him, making the Caped Crusader a little flat by comparison.
