Have you seen the trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum 2?

I don’t remember seeing this when it hit the Intardwebz a while ago – perhaps you’ve seen it, perhaps not.  The big news surrounding the second installment of the video game series is “what the heck are they calling it!?” and what is Warner Bros. considering?

Might I suggest Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 – Electric Boogaloo?

Warner has snagged a bunch of domains that might be tied to the game or might be tied to the third Batman movie, which is rumored to start shooting in April.  Among the 15 domains registered so far, these are the four most likely to be the official game name.

  • BatmanNewArkham.com
  • BatmanBrokenGround.com
  • BatmanSiegeofGotham.com
  • BatmanStateofVillainy.com

I expect a lot of teasing and read between the lines announcements to be made next week.
