Batman ain’t gonna kill, not even in Arkham Asylum
One of the things that Batman has always been adamant about is that he’s never gonna kill. He won’t care if he has a harder time kicking bad guy ass, as long as it heads straight to the slammer, not the morgue. In Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3, Xbox 360, PC), the Caped Crusader still upholds his vow and there will be no clipping, smoking, or blowing anyone away (insert more killing synonyms here).

The Entertainment Software Rating Board has reached a verdict: it’s rated Teen, so there’s gonna be some blood spattering, but no spilling! This rating comes with a nice bonus as well – the ESRB rating reveals a few details about the game, which is more than what the publishers have told us!
Here’s some of the info I’ve picked up:
- Your weapons will include spikes, light beams, and “other gadgets”
- There will be slow-mo attacks, and close-ups of damage inflcted
- There will be rooms stained with blood (meh, but well, it’s info anyway)
- “Infected” people will be seen twitching and screaming in pain
- Torture scenes!
- Two female characters wear “provocative outfits that expose deep cleavage”
- One of them “moans suggestively when she is in peril” hahahaha
- There’s gonna be some expletives and swearing
It’s not from Rocksteady Studios, but hey, ESRB’s credible enough, and it’s a good update nonetheless.
Look! No killing!
