Did you all go through some of the old releases to see what you wanted to avoid? Most every other Batman game has been terrible. Joker, and not just having Batman chasing the Joker around and punching him. It's giving us the opportunity to have many hours of Batman vs. The Joker is an incredibly cool character, and Mark is brilliant. And also, to really show what Joker's really like.

It's about the worst day and the worst night that Joker can put Batman through, to really push the character, push everything about what makes Batman strong. It's there, it's part of the brand, but this game is all about Joker taking over Arkham Asylum Joker tormenting Batman. 'It's about the worst day and the worst night that Joker can put Batman through.' What about vehicles? We saw the Batmobile in this level, do we ever get to drive it? We wanted to focus on what it would be like to be Batman. We really focused on the core Batman experience. well, I don't want to give away story elements because things change, and we want players to approach this in a sort of, 'Wow, that just happened' way, and not in an 'Oh, this is the bit I read about.'Īre any of Batman's traditional sidekicks in the game? We don't do what you just mentioned, but. To be honest, they've been really fantastic and they haven't really given us any. How many liberties has DC given you with the license? Can you kill off Killer Croc in the game, for example? DC must have drawn some boundaries. To be fair, there's been a lot of different types of Batman stories over the years, but this is the type of story that Batman fans expect. As long as we make their character look good, it's all cool. We've been really lucky in the way that DC has let us work: it's the core DC license, it's nothing to do with movies.

There's no direct storyline from the animated series or any of the comics that we're following, although we do reference events from both the animated series and the comic books in the game. 'We do reference events from both the animated series and the comic books.' Are you using anything from the cartoon as a storyline? Are you using the comics? You guys have Paul Dini, Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy involved in this, making it an unofficial Batman: The Animated Series reunion.

I mean you could go in like that, but to be honest it's more fun to pick the guys off. You don't have to do it that way, but if you go in swinging it doesn't play to Batman's strengths. It's completely designed to make you feel the cool 'Batman' experience. Well, the Invisible Predator game mode is just a very cool gameplay mechanic that we've come up with. Do these levels have to be approached via stealth, or can you come in swinging if you want? So we've seen the stealthy approach in the first level. It's not a very long delay, it's out at the end of the summer, but it will make our game better.

The delay is purely down to us making a great game, and a great Batman game at that. 'The delay is purely down to us making a great game.' %Gallery-64370% What was up with the delay that moved this game back?

Continue past the break for the full interview. Thankfully, he hasn't taken on any of the Dark Knight's unfriendly tendencies in that time and gladly opened up to us about the game, explaining key omissions like Robin and Batmobile driving, and offering up his (not-so-creative) pick for the DC character he'd most like to create a game around. Paul Crocker is the lead narrative designer at Rocksteady Studios, where he's been hard at work on Batman: Arkham Asylum for the past two years.
