When talking about superheroes in the world of video games today is normal, as they have come out titles with very good quality, but in the past it was somewhat complicated that a game of this style had a huge amount of sales, however, one would totally change that way of thinking, becoming even the game of the year and have high scores, it is Batman Arkham Asylum.
Many will think that before being developed this video game was fully planned and programmed, but the story says the opposite, in fact, it is fortunate that we can enjoy Arkham Asylum, because it was actually going to develop another company called Pandemic Studios, however, certain things happened that changed the course of history for Batman.
Electronic Arts wanted to launch a game related to the Batman movie by director Christopher Nolan, at that time there was one and another in production, the first called Batman Begins and the other The Dark Knight, but the game would be based on the second, which had not yet been released. So EA spent large amounts of money to be able to use the character based on the movie and assign the task to the developer Pandemic Studios.
But at the time of the release of the movie Pandemic Studios had not even half of the game made, this caused great inconvenience in Electronic Arts, as they wanted to launch the game almost parallel to the movie, to take advantage of the hype that had the public and have guaranteed sales, but all these plans turned to dust, as well as Pandemic Studios, because all this and other inconveniences caused the permanent closure of the studio.
After all that, no one had the Batman license and much less dared to make a game that did not guarantee any kind of benefits, however, a small development company decided to get it to start a new development from scratch, this was Rocksteady Studios, who at that time only had 40 workers in their offices, but this was not an impediment to make an ambitious project.
Finally, in 2009 the whole world met a game which they had little expectations about it, however, it became a legend in the world of video games, because it was the first time that a superhero title was a total success in every way, i.e. sales, press and user reviews, this proved that a small team of people can make masterpieces with dedication and passion.
This implies that the existence of Batman Arkham Asylum is something that happened by chance, that is, if Pandemic Studios had released the game that was planned, the license would be in the hands of Electronic Arts, but due to the aforementioned events, Rocksteady Studios took power over the development of a new game, something that favored the dark knight.
