Batman: Arkham Asylum Delayed...Again?

As I was heading over to Xbox360achievements.com to figure out how to pick some stuff up for Army of Two I noticed this article.

So, things don't appear to be looking good for a June release of Arkham Asylum. I have to agree with the articles that the only real reason they are probably doing this is to cash in on the holiday shopping season. The recent release of the demo in retail stores says that the game was incredibly close to completion. They were one of the only heavy hitters coming out in the summer months and could easily go the way of  Resistance 2 in the holiday madness.

I'd also be curious to hear what hand Square Enix (the new masters of Eidos) might have had in this decision. Could they be trying to hold back a big game to pad their Final Fantasy XIII lacking North American holiday release schedule?
