Finally, it’s impossible to talk about any of the Arkham games without mentioning Mark Hammill’s pitch-perfect performance as the Joker. Kevin Conroy is solid as the Batman, delivering his lines with the required punch and growl, but Hammill’s run as the Joker is arguably the definitive version, not just in games but across all mediums. Capturing every drop of the Clown Prince of Crime’s sadism, intelligence and sheer insanity, he plays a massive part in gluing the whole tale together. Kudos, too, to an unrecognisable Nolan North for his Penguin and Corey Burton for his Hugo Strange. Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition". Metacritic. CBS Interactive. November 18, 2012.

[ permanent dead link] The character Arkham Knight eventually made his debut in the mainstream DC Universe. However, this incarnation is not Jason Todd, but rather Astrid Arkham, the daughter of Arkham Asylum director Jeremiah Arkham and Ingrid Karlsson. During her birth, a riot broke out during a prison transfer at the asylum. Despite the chaos, several villains assisted in delivering her safely, but one of the prisoners killed Ingrid with one of Batman's batarangs. Astrid grew up interacting with many of Arkham Asylum's patients and sympathized with their fear of Batman. After she found footage of her mother's death, she assumed Batman murdered her and trained herself for years to take away Batman's control over Gotham. She crafted the Arkham Knight identity to take vengeance on him, believing that the Arkham inmates were also his victims.

What’s more, there seem to have been changes to the lighting model which make both games a little less gloomy and a little brighter. Sometimes, particularly in Arkham City, this is an improvement, but at other times it just draws attention to the comparatively primitive scenery or some textures that seem to have crept in from the last-gen version. Finally, it’s a real shame that the facial modelling and facial animation hasn’t been redone, especially in Arkham Asylum, where the stilted motion and inexpressive faces don’t really do the voicework justice.
