Bruce Wayne's empire isn't just his tech company, Wayne Industries - it's Hollywood. Batman is the biggest character in the entertainment biz, with TV shows and movies (both live action and animated), games, comics, and more merchandise than you could...

Until recently, by favourite single player game of all time was Batman: Arkham Asylum. It featured my favourite super hero and took him right out of his comfort zone. Rather than roaming the streets of Gotham from the rooftops, he was confined in cla...

Batman returns in the spectacular follow-up to 2009's Batman: Arkham Asylum. Rocksteady have once again produced an epic action title brimming with polish and sophistication, and entirely worthy of the Dark Knight's rich superhero lore...
Outstanding presentation, story, combat, score. New weapons and gadgets. Lots of content. Incredibly fun.
It finishes eventually. Demon trials are little more than flying tests. Impossible to give all of rogue’s gallery their time in the limelight.
