He's awesome as the voice of the joker, no doubt. Just the right amount of gleeful crazy.

Wait, is the game a PS3 exclusive or is the Joker?

Video game characters should never, NEVER say the name of the system they are on. Well Otacon could do it, but that was for the sake of humor

@JoblessTerence: Only the playable Joker is PS3 Exclusive. But don't pin me down on that, since we all know what happens to "PLATFORM EXCLUSIVE stuff", like Soul Calibur 4 Yoda/Darth Vader.

I wouldn't doubt that, eventually, the joker will end up in the 360 as well. But since I'll probably buy this at launch, this settles which version I'm getting.

No multi-player and Joker exclusive (at least for some time and free) means I'm getting the PS3 version at launch.

I played the combat demo at Walmart.  The game looked amazing, and was really fun for the short bit that I played.  Arkham Asylum has a lot of potential.  So are they going to throw the 360 users a bone and give us something exclusive as well?  It's hard to equal The Joker, but maybe we'll get our own character.

Interesting how The Joker's first few lines in the trailer echo those of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

The Joker is such a fanboy...
I may have to get the PS3 version if playing as him is significant.

Looks rather annoying, starting with his voice, ending with the way he walks.

The Joker looks great, too.  Very good combination of the animated series, comic book, and Dark Knight iterations.

I was doing a side by side of TAS to the trailer right now, his voice pitch is slightly deeper in the game and more aloof in TAS, it's subtle but you can hear it

This would have been a failure If anyone else other then Mark Hamill voiced the Joker.

Unless the PS3 can sell more consoles, I could see this becoming DLC much like the SCIV fiasco.

Boo exclusives.

Wish they'd stop doing things like this, but when Sony hands you a barrel of money, what're you going to do.

Fking ps3....not sure why they can't put this on the 360 if not in the game as DLC. Loved this until I saw that exclusivity as Mark Hamill puts so much great work in as the Joker & still one of my favorites in the DC universe.

That wasn't a case of console fanboyism, like you seem to think. It was about the game for which we just watched a trailer. I hate exclusives in general.

Damnit, another temptation into buying a PS3.
