You read that headline right. However, there's a catch--Mr. J is only playable in Batman: Arkham Asylum on the Playstation 3. He will be available for download on release day, 6/23/09, from the Playstation Network for free and can be used in the Challenge Map mode. No details have been released as to what weaponry the Joker plans to use to complete these challenges but one can hope he will have a bunch of zany bombs, acids, guns, and of course some Joker gas. It's going to be really interesting to see the dynamics of these Challenge Maps change when you switch between Bats and the Joker due to their wildly different approach to clearing a room.
So if you're anything like me, and already drooling for more info on a playable Joker, look no further than the June issue of Playstation: The Official Magazine.
