Very good point. Considering there are multiple linear narratives within the Batman universe, perhaps DC would have been better served by throwing a coupon into Arkham Asylum for a trade paperback that could stand on its own, like The Long Halloween or Hush. That way, you’re still moving players into the comic store and getting them to pick up and read a book.

Any departure of a main character from the comics is temporary. The Batman books did the same thing 15 years ago with the whole “Knightfall” storyline. If a game like this is to become really popular, they have to cater to the widest audience, which means they use the best-known mythology. And Bruce Wayne’s absence will last a year at most; a good video game should have a longer life in the public eye. It doesn’t make sense to use characters from recent storylines, since if the book was selling well, they wouldn’t need to kill off Bruce in the first place.

Tough issue here as video games, comics and movies all have different development schedules. This is where the hard part of Transmedia comes in. How do you align properties against various media?

On some level, characters like Batman, James Bond or Darth Vader live beyond one linear narrative for consumers. Fanboys aren’t playing Arkham Asylum, they are playing Batman. If you thought the game was awesome, dig into some of the 5,389 comic books that feature the character. Or the movies, or the Adam West TV show.
