The Game version that is a little different from the anime and movies





The Arkham series, which began with the video The Game``Arkham Asylum'' released in 2010, is now synonymous with Batman The Game . As the title suggests, ``Arkham Asylum'' is set in Arkham Hospital, which houses many of Gotham's criminals , and Batman uncovers the Joker 's plans. The series consists of ``Arkham City,'' where you fight against conspiracies, ``Arkham Origins,'' which is a prequel to those, and ``Arkham Knight,'' The Day After you confront a mysterious warrior while thwarting Scarecrow's ambitions.


Not only Batman himself, but familiar characters are arranged in a very dignified manner, and the Joker also has a terrifying appearance. However, since it is basically a familiar costume, this version has a unique atmosphere that is different from the movie or anime. He is voiced by Mark Hamill, just like in the animated version mentioned above, but his voice sounds more sinister due to his appearance. His laughter was so raw that it sounded like it was covered in phlegm. It feels like the culmination of Hamill's role as the Joker, but I never expected him to return to the role of Luke Skywalker after playing the Joker so far.


Harley Quinn also appears and supports the Joker's plan, but this is a visual version that precedes the live-action version, so I remember that it felt fresh at the time to see Harley, who had only been in 2D, made into 3DCG. ing. At first, she wore clown makeup and a mask, but as the series progressed, her makeup became lighter and her hairstyle, which was reminiscent of a clown's hat, became more modest, and she became more like an older sister with a slightly eccentric outfit. However, this style seems to have been carried over into ` `Suicide Squad .''
