Arkham Asylum, the upcoming Batman action game that looks batshit awesome, will allow PlayStation 3 owners to play as Batman archenemy the Joker. That’s right, the clown prince of crime is at your semi-complete disposal.

For obvious reasons, you can’t play as the Joker in the normal campaign mode. Put a smile on your face, though, as you can play as him in the game’s standalone challenge modes.

Boy oh boy, do I hate console exclusives. While I do own a PS3, I prefer gaming on the Xbox 360, so I don’t think I’ll be giving the town an enema when the game hits in June.
