Unoriginal Soundtracks Podcast: Batman Arkham Asylum Edition


Every other Wednesday I share a playlist of songs tangentially related to a single game or series. Songs about alien sex for Mass Effect, songs about world leaders for Civilization, and so on. Searching for random terms on Spotify is a great way to discover new music and rediscover old classics.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, The Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever, is one of the smallest sandbox games around. It's set on a small, tunnel-crossed island that is dwarfed by the city surrounding it. Yet every room and corridor presents more challenges and options than a street in Liberty City. It also presents an opportunity for 29 minutes of rock and roll, metal, and two-tone. Enjoy!


Track list
Joker and the Thief -- Wolfmother
Can I Play With Madness? -- Iron Maiden
The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum) -- Fun Boy Three
Fish in the Jailhouse -- Tom Waits
