Teaser Trailer Released For Unnamed Arkham Asylum Sequel
In unsurprising yet still exciting news, the hugely successful Batman: Arkham Asylum will be receiving a sequel. A teaser trailer has been released on the follow-up's official website, featuring a weathered and worn Joker laughing maniacally at the exploding streets of Gotham. No real info or gameplay footage is seen, however it's obvious that Joker will be joined by Harley Quinn, and it appears that the setting is Gotham City proper.
Considering that the website URL is "Arkham has moved" and the trailer shows an Arkham Asylum gate within Gotham, it'll be interesting to see exactly how this all came to be. Was the original island too overrun with Ivy's plants that it had to be shut down? Was the entire facility destroyed enough to warrant bringing the asylum to the city? It may be a while before we find out, considering that the game has no release date or even an official title, but it's intriguing nonetheless.
UPDATE: Eagle-eyed user Treestump has pointed out in the comments that the Uncle Sam figure that appears on the website is almost certainly Two-Face. Take a look at the evidence below.
The hand holding the gun is clearly scarred, and you can even see a bit of his face below the poster's rip.
