Although set to air tonight on their television station, MTV Multiplayer blogger extraordinaire Stephen Totilo has posted the new trailer for the upcoming Rocksteady/Eidos/WB three-way Batman: Arkham Asylum.  In addition to a hefty slice of Mark Hamill voiceover work, we get to see some serious gameplay footage, in which Batman employs his "Invisible Predator" techniques to take out the Joker's hooligans one-by-one after the jump! From the looks of it, this could be the first Batman game to not suck since Sunsoft's release on the Nes.  With writer Paul Dini and voice actors Kevin Conroy and the inimitable Mark Hamill on board, I feel like I'm watching Fox Kids in the afternoon all over again!...

On June 9th, Batman: Arkham Asylum hits stores for XBox, PS3 and PC, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to it just a little bit.

Titled Beastly, the movie is a modern-day take on Beauty and the Beast, with Vanessa Hudgens as Beauty. No word yet on who's playing the beast but seriously, unless it's Ron Perlman I refused to get interested. This particular Beauty and the Beast tale is set in Manhattan and involves a spoiled rich kid who ditches a date, gets cursed, and find himself grotesquely transformed into everything he hates. Does that mean he becomes a freakshow... or just a poor person? To solve his problem, whatever it is, he has to find true love. Lucky
