Batman is one of the greatest comic book heroes which naturally means he has had a lot of video game adaptations, but when this came out in 2009 it was unlike any previous superhero game. The combat was good, the story was great, the atmosphere and horror elements worked extremely well, and the game featured the two best voices for Batman and Joker respectively. Despite being improved upon and usurped by its successors, Arkham Asylum is still a great Batman game. While it may not be as good as Rocksteady's future releases, it does have a great horror atmosphere that isn't repeated in future installments.
