Batman: Arkham Asylum trailer

Eidos has unveiled a new trailer for Rocksteady Studios’ hotly anticipated adventure/detective romp, Batman: Arkham Asylum.

The footage builds a suitably dark atmosphere, with the camera giving us a quick exterior shot of the Aslyum in the middle of a raging thunderstorm, before taking us inside, where chaos ultimately ensues.

In a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it montage of events, we’re shown The Joker breaking free of his bonds before roughing up his escorts, monstrous creatures rampaging throughout the complex, and finally, an iconic shot of the Dark Knight overlooking the Asylum from the comfort of a nearby rocky ledge. Chilling stuff.

Check it out below.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is due out on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in August 2009.
