PS3 Owners Get To Play As Joker In Arkham Asylum

This is one of the reasons it's good to own a PS3.

The excitement continues to build as we approach the release of "Batman: Arkham Asylum."  Here is some good news to get you even more excited.  Jeff over at Giant Bomb got word from Eidos that the Joker will be a free downloadable character for the PS3 version of the game.  It seems there isn't much information available just yet except that he'll be playable on the "challenge maps."  Eidos also released a nice image of the Joker (which I'm also stealing from Jeff).

I suppose this might be bad news for you X-Box owners.  Maybe you'll get to download someone like...Penguin instead.  Or maybe Eidos is saving an X-Box announcement for later to create more excitement later.  The game is out on June 23. 

Do you think we'd ever get a true game featuring the Joker?  Does this give you more of a reason to want this game?
