Batman: Arkham Asylum

Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum puts players into the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight himself, pitting them against a host of villains after the Joker starts a riot that takes over the titular psychiatric hospital. A Metroidvania-style action-adventure title, Arkham Asylum tasks players with locating the Joker and stopping his plans to take over Gotham City, encountering some of the Caped Crusader's most iconic allies and adversaries along the way.
