Before the dust settled on the beginning of this year’s Video Game Awards on Spike, the first surprise announcement was the revelation that Batman: Arkham Asylum would get a sequel.

Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 – which is what we’ll call it until an official title is revealed – presumably continues where the original critically acclaimed Rocksteady title left off, and was revealed via diabolical plot from Batman’s Nemesis The Joker. Attempting to gas those in attendance, Mark Hamill’s threatening vocals reverberated throughout the audience revealing a sequel people “didn’t expect.” After smashing through sales charts and the assumptions that all licensed titles are crap, we expected nothing less. Take that, Joker! [joystiq]
