PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum features playable Joker

[Queasy]

Kotaku - Forgot to post this before I left on Friday. Anyways, The PS3 version of Batman Arkham Asylum is giving players the chance to play as the Joker in 3 exclusive challenge levels.

This was advertised inside PSN Home.

Its decently fun, the fighting anyways. My local Gamestop had it playable. Just a demo of you beating up baddies. You fight 2, then 3, then 4, and so on. The capw move or whatever its called puts them in a dizzy, then you're free to do whatever.

Any rumors on if the 360 version will have something of it's own?

I haven't heard of any. Though, with the way things work now-a-days, I wouldn't be surprised to see Joker up as DLC for the 360.

Can't remember where I saw it but I'm pretty sure I read that the 360 version gets Robin.

This might actually make me buy the PS3 version of a multi-platform game for once!

You aren't the only one. Pre-order sales for the PS3 version on Amazon have jumped well ahead of the 360 version.

I just got an email from gamestop saying all preorders for this game gets villain challenge maps... On both consoles. They sound like the same thing as what this thread is about, so is GS wrong or link in OP wrong?

Both could be correct. Perhaps Joker is exclusive to PS3, and the 360 will get another villain. Then you'll get to pay for the other later as DLC.

They will probably go the same route as Soul Calibur 4 did. Keep the characters "exclusive" to a certain console for a time, but then add them as DLC later.

Yeah I thought about that, or possibly that the PS3 will just get more of them.
