Arkham Asylum: An Essay As to Why It Sucks

Ah, Arkham Asylum. Hospital for the mentally ill, prison for supervillains and the most mainstream HP Lovecraft reference in comicbooks! Now, when people talk about Arkham, it's normally connected in some manner with how Batman is "incompetant" in some way for not stopping the Joker, Killer Croc and company from routinely escaping from the alleged SuperMax facility whenever the mood strikes them.

Well today I've decided to have a look at the numerous ways that, really, it's really the Arkham members of staff who are at fault here, not just Batman not having the time to physically watch his rogues 24/7 to ensure they don't go walk about. Plus Halloween is coming up, and this is kind of good subject matter for the season.

Let's begin!

When Dan Decarlo and Bruce Timm Teamed Up...

Harley, Noooo! What did they do to you!

This is what she looks like in the new Suicide Squad series,

"Harley Quinn! Deadshot! King Shark! They’re a team of death-row super villains recruited by the government to take on missions so dangerous – they’re sheer suicide! Who will be the first to crack under the pressure? Find out in SUICIDE SQUAD #1, written by Adam Glass (FLASHPOINT: LEGION OF DOOM) with art by Marco Rudy (THE SHIELD)."

Arleen Sorkin not to voice Harley Quinn in Arkham City?

Yeah, it seems that Arleen Sorkin, the voice actress that voiced the character the various incarnations across the DCAU and in the previous Batman game, won't be returning to the role this time around.

Instead the Joker's infamous sidekick'll be played by Tara Strong, the actress who voiced Batgirl in BTAS and Raven in Teen Titans. She's certainly a strong replacement for the role, but considering this'll be Mark Hammill's last time in the role of the Joker, it just seems a shame that the pair couldn't finish on the same note. Ah well.

Batman: Arkham City 1 Preview

This comicbook series covers the gap between the Arkham Asylum game and the upcoming Arkham City one. Like the games, the comic is written by Paul Dini, and I think that it looks kind of neat.
