'''Batman: Arkham Asylum''' is an [[action-adventure]] [[stealth]] video game for Microsoft [[Windows]], [[Playstation 3]], and [[Xbox 360]], and is based on DC Comics' ''Batman''. It was being developed by [[Rocksteady Studios]] and published by [[Eidos Interactive]] in conjunction with [[Warner Bros.]] and DC Comics. It is based on the long-running comic book mythos, as opposed to most other {{c|Batman}} games which are adaptations of the character in other media besides the source material.

The game has a more closed gameplay atmosphere. In a description by Game Informer, the gameplay is reminiscent of [[BioShock]]. Gameplay places just as much focus on Batman's role as a detective as his combat prowess. Most of the game is played through an over-the-shoulder, third person perspective, similar to that of [[Resident Evil 4]] and [[Dead Space]]. It has been hinted that certain villains might be playable at some point in the game, although this may be as an unlockable element after completing the game. Arkham was chosen as a location, because of its limitations including the fact that it's located on an island. Arkham is a persistent location that the player is able to freely roam, including an area that serves as Batman's secret on-site Bat Cave.
