Batman Arkham Asylum announced in Game Informer
As you can see here, the next issue of Game Informer is to carry an exclusive reveal Batman Arkham Asylum.
It’s an Eidos game, developed by Rocksteady. Blurb:
This completely original title explores Gotham City’s darkest location, the infamous Arkham Asylum. But as a routine prison transfer goes wrong, the Joker sets his demented plan into action and Batman comes face to face with an army of his worst enemies. In a dark and gritty setting reminiscent of Bioshock (with a story co-written by Paul Dini), Arkham Asylum is setting the stage for a true-to-character Batman game.

ZING!
Although a lot of Dini’s storylines get on my nerves (hate what he’s done with The Riddler, for example), this sounds like it might very well be good.

So, their only other game appears to have been the ‘fair to midddling’ Urban Chaos: Riot Response in 2006, and according to Wikipedia this is an Unreal 3 engine game.

Rocksteady are a good Studio, so worry not.
