Between the extremely critically-acclaimed release of "Batman: Arkham Asylum" (seriously - it's entering The Guinness World Records Book) and the merited coverage, the Caped Crusader is having quite a week.

I don't want to spoil it for those waiting for the weekend, but let's just say a certain Splintery Celled hero meets his match. Read it yourself here.
