'Batman: Arkham Asylum' Game of the Year?

Batman: Arkham Asylum is scheduled to come out Tuesday, August 25, 2009, and some early reviews are already proclaiming it to be 2009's Game of the Year (GotY)! Strong words for a title that has for the most part flown under the radar this year.

I've already mentioned the game in a previous post, but personally I think this GotY distinction is a bit premature considering so many strong titles coming out later in the year (Halo: ODST, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, etc), but I'm not saying that the game won't be good. I'm sure it's a Batman title that we've been waiting for since the old, great 8-bit NES Sunsoft Batman from many years ago.

Next Season Smallville Superman to Wear Cape and...

Sources high up at the WB have stated Smallville Superman will be wearing the blue and red tights along with the cape in next season's (season 9) Smallville. Many thought it would be impossible considering how continuity is very important with Smallville's writers, but as always, where there is a will, there is a way.

The writers do not want to bring in the glasses yet and because of that, Tom Welling will be wearing a cowl to hide the majority of his face. Not sure if this will give him too much of a "Batman" look, but I'm sure more eyes will be tempted to stop and tune in.
