Thinking about picking up Batman: Arkham Asylum through some less than legal means? Well, you may want to think again. Pirates who have already tried to download and play Batman are finding that Batman himself is slightly retarded.
An official response to a forum inquiry on the Eidos forums shows that Eidos knows how to have a little fun with their DRM protections. A pirate attempted to seek support for Batman being unable to glide in his copy of the game. Here is the official response from Eidos.

If you feel like picking up the PC version of Batman: Arkham Asylum, do the right thing.
